James was doing his best to stay in contact with the fourteen members of the Collegiate Baseball Association. Part of that contact, though, was to make sure and keep tabs on what was going on away from the schools. As a result, James had made sure each of the newspapers from the member schools towns were mailed to him when they were published.
He received a copy of The Lafayette Monthly and he was sad to see the headlines. James had been to that game and he was hoping the injury to Josh Moss hadn't been as serious.
