Published between 1900 and 1919, these articles take up a mere 32 pages of the book. A couple are almost stories but are far too short to count within the mainstream. All are worth a read. Some Aspects of Game-captaincy was the first piece Wodehouse sold to any paper or magazine.
This is a shorter version of the article that appears in What Ho! The Best of P. G. Wodehouse.
