[ noun ] a notable achievement
Examples : "he performed a great deed" "the book was her finest effort" Used in print (Rocky Mountains News, [Denver, Colorado],...)Both , of_course , were remarkable feats and further embossed the fact that baseball rightfully is the national pastime . Only Bucky_Harris , the `` boy manager '' of Washington in 1924 , and Eddie_Dyer of the St._Louis Cardinals in 1946 had accomplished the feat . (Bonnie Prudden, "The Dancer and the Gymnast"...)They were further stripped of old_wives'_tales by seeing the slender , lovely Russian girls performing feats requiring tremendous strength - and with not one bulging muscle . (Leo Lemon, "Catch Up With" and "Something to...)For_example , to move ( as the score requires ) from the lowest F major register up_to a barely audible N minor in four seconds , not skipping , at_the_same_time , even one of the 407 fingerings , seems a feat too absurd to consider , and it is to the flautist 's credit that he remained silent throughout the passage . |
