Baker Street Elementary – A Pitched Battle

Notably, none of these is a team sport. All require the talents of a single participant, matched against one opponent.</div><div><br /></div><div>As far as team sports go, the Canon provides us very few glimpses, and they are quintessentially British. One —rugby — even lends one of its positions to the title of a story. "The Missing Three-Quarter" concerns the mysterious and sudden disappearance of one of Cambridge's varsity right-wingers. As we sprint through the rest of the stories, we find that Gilchrist played for the rugby team in "The Three Students," and that Watson played for Blackheath when Robert Ferguson played for Richmond in "The Sussex Vampire."</div><div><br /></div><div>For team sports originating in India, we have polo and cricket. Baron von Bork ("His Last Bow") is said to be a polo player who belongs to the Hurlingham Club. And a young Percy Phelps ("The Naval Treaty") was the victim of cricket bats over the shin and young Lord Saltire's cricket cap turned up ("The Priory School").</div><div><br /></div><div>But nowhere do we find a mention of association football (that's "soccer" for our American readers), despite England being the birthplace of the first official rules of the game in 1863. Indeed, there is a history of the game that goes back to the twelfth century in England, but it wasn't until the nineteenth century that it rose in popularity.</div><div><br /></div><div>By 1871, there was a divide in the sport, with those in favor of "hacking" (that's carrying the ball) splintering off to form the Rugby Football Union. Then there was a further split of professional and amateur teams, leading to official recognition of professionalism by the Football Association in 1885.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>For a fun look at putting together a team, you might want to listen to <a href="https://pod.link/trifles/episode/MmZmZGMwYzYtMGI5MC00YzBhLWEwZGYtMTA1M2Q3ZmFiMDBm" target="_blank">Episode 270</a> of <i>Trifles</i>: "The Missing Three-Quarter One-Third Discovered" (Listen <a href="https://pod.link/trifles/episode/MmZmZGMwYzYtMGI5MC00YzBhLWEwZGYtMTA1M2Q3ZmFiMDBm" target="_blank">wherever you get podcasts</a>).

Well, if one has taken the trouble to memorize data about crimes past and to observe what others don't, it might be systematized.</div><div><br /></div><div>More often than not, we see Scotland Yard inspectors calling their approach "common sense" when it is more like systematized ignorance.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>For example, in <i>The Valley of Fear</i>, Inspector MacDonald challenges Holmes's theory about an outside killer, declaring: </div><div><blockquote>“It's clean against common sense!” </blockquote></div><div>His argument was that no rational man would choose a noisy shotgun as the weapon for a murder he needed to commit quietly and escape cleanly.</div><div><br /></div><div>And in <i>The Sign of Four</i>, Inspector Athelney Jones (who famously called the detective "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the theorist") uses the phrase twice while trying to theorize about the crime at Pondicherry Lodge, first dismissing the steps on the window sill: </div><div><div></div><blockquote><div>“Well, well, if it was fastened the steps could have nothing to do with the matter. That’s <b>common sense</b>. Man might have died in a fit; but then the jewels are missing. Ha! I have a theory. These flashes come upon me at times.—Just step outside, sergeant, and you, Mr. Sholto. Your friend can remain.—What do you think of this, Holmes? Sholto was, on his own confession, with his brother last night. The brother died in a fit, on which Sholto walked off with the treasure.

In <i>A Study in Scarlet</i>, as each man is listing his peculiarities to the other, Holmes offers this question to his would-be roommate:</div><div><blockquote><div>“Do you include violin-playing in your category of rows?” </div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>Watson tells us Holmes asked “anxiously”. But why anxiously?</div></div><div><br /></div><div>It could be that Holmes was a mere amateur and was self-conscious about his playing. Or that he practiced frequently, in order to improve his skill, and in doing so, he might not sound the best. To a perfectionist like Holmes, that may have been a vulnerability. His response indicates some sensitivity there:</div><div><div></div></div><blockquote><div><div>“It depends on the player,” I answered. “A well played violin is a treat for the gods—a badly-played one—”</div></div><div><div>“Oh, that’s all right,” he cried, with a merry laugh. “I think we may consider the thing as settled—that is, if the rooms are agreeable to you.”</div></div></blockquote><div>When Watson wrote up his famous list, he gave Holmes positive marks for his musical talents:</div><blockquote><div>10. Plays the violin well.</div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>It is our supposition that Holmes as a virtuoso and not at all an unskilled, practicing amateur. Later in the story, Watson observes Holmes leaning back in his chair, where </div><div><blockquote>“he would close his eyes and scrape carelessly at the fiddle which was thrown across his knee.”</blockquote></div><div>That, ladies and gentlemen, is not the behavior of a new violin student or someone who is anxiously attempting to master a craft. No, that is the action of someone extremely familiar with the instrument and quite confident in his own level of performance.</div><div><br /></div><div>Could it be because Holmes got his start at music lessons at Baker Street Elementary?</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Related:</h3><div>Listen to <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles40" target="_blank"><i>Trifles</i> Episode 40</a>, where we discussed a true virtuoso whom Holmes admired: Sarasate.</div><div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" data-dashlane-classification="other" data-dashlane-frameid="5075" data-dashlane-rid="111f8ce6f6c5ddff" height="192" mozallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5806614/height/192/theme/modern/size/large/thumbnail/yes/custom-color/3a4e59/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes/font-color/FFFFFF" style="border-color: currentcolor;

Ego is a powerful motivator. Or he may simply have been fascinated enough by a subject that he wished to explore as much of it as he could and commit it to writing.</div><div><br /></div><div>What resulted were monographs that we find littered throughout the Sherlock Holmes stories — topics as wide-ranging as <i>The Book of Life</i>, on the ashes of 140 different varieties of pipe, cigar, and cigarette tobacco, upon the tracing of footsteps, upon the influence of trade upon the form of a hand, upon the dating of documents, upon secret writings, two articles on the variability of human ears, and <i>Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with Some Observations on the Segregation of the Queen</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>And that's not even a comprehensive list!</div><div><br /></div><div>We discussed this subject in full in <a href="https://ihose.co/trifles43" target="_blank">Episode 43 of <i>Trifles</i></a>. and you can listen here or <a href="https://pod.link/trifles/episode/ZTVjMTQ3MGU3NWIxNjhmYzZiZGRlMWQ2YmM2YmZhODI" target="_blank">wherever you get podcasts</a>.</div><div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" data-dashlane-classification="other" data-dashlane-frameid="2726" data-dashlane-rid="fe18429956a4b237" height="192" mozallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" scrolling="no" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5874895/height/192/theme/modern/size/large/thumbnail/yes/custom-color/3a4e59/time-start/00:00:00/playlist-height/200/direction/backward/download/yes/font-color/FFFFFF" style="border-color: currentcolor;

The Canon is ripe with references to food and drink in many different settings. </div><div><br /></div><div>We're keenly aware of Mrs. Hudson's morning cuisine dependably being described as "as good an idea of breakfast as a Scotch-woman," and the rather curious dish that followed in that story.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's a fun assignment: at your next meeting, quiz your fellow Sherlockians on this: when it comes to that breakfast staple, the humble egg, which stories did it appear in? We'll give you the quotes, you supply the story. Answers are below.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. “But you have had enough of the case. Better have your ham and eggs first.”</div><div><br /></div><div>2. He received us in his quietly genial fashion, ordered fresh rashers and eggs, and joined us in a hearty meal.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. “Good! What are you going to take, Mr. Phelps—curried fowl or eggs, or will you help yourself?”</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Sherlock Holmes swallowed a cup of coffee, and turned his attention to the ham and eggs. Then he rose, lit his pipe, and settled himself down into his</div><div>chair.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. “I must really apologize, Hopkins,” said Sherlock Holmes; “I fear that the scrambled eggs are cold. However, you will enjoy the rest of your breakfast all the better, will you not, for the thought that you have brought your case to a triumphant conclusion.”</div><div><br /></div><div>6. “There is little to share, but we may discuss it when you have consumed the two hard-boiled eggs with which our new cook has favoured us.”</div><div><br /></div><div>7. “Why, this article,” I said, pointing at it with my egg spoon as I sat down to my breakfast. “I see that you have read it since you have marked it.”</div><div><br /></div><div>8. “My dear Watson, when I have exterminated that fourth egg I shall be ready to put you in touch with the whole situation. I don’t say that we have fathomed it—far from it—but when we have traced the missing dumb-bell—”</div><div><br /></div><div>9.
