Note 25 — TYPES OF STORIES
Reading edition
It is the belief of the author that the sporting page has not yet reached its highest level of language and that the younger of us will live to see as pure English used on the sporting page as in the other news columns. The purpose of this volume, however, is not to present the work of the reporter as it ought to be, but as it is—a fact which accounts for the above paragraph and its recommendation of the use of slang in sporting news stories.
