YALE ALUMNI WHEKLY UNIVERSITY BASEBALL Seventy Candidates Report—Winter Work Begun. The candidates for the University Baseball team were called together by Capt. G. C. Greenway, ’98 S., on Mon- day evening, and the plan of Winter work was explained. The battery can- didates began practice in the cage Tues- day, but the other men will not start active training until next Monday. The work is to consist of batting and fielding in the cage, followed by a short run. Practice at the field will commence as soon as the weather per- mits, which is generally not until after the middle of March. As has been the custom in previous years the team will have no professional coach, but several graduates will assist Capt. Greenway. W. F. Carter, ’95, will come on the eighteenth of this month and remain a week or two. Un- til that time Capt. Greenway will have entire charge of the coaching. Of last year’s team and substitutes there are in College, Capt. Greenway, pitcher and outfielder; S. B. Camp, 1900, shortstop; J. J. Hazen, ’98, second base; H. B. Wallace, ’99, right field; M. L. Fearey, ’98, pitcher; F. C: Hecker, - ’99, pitcher; Hamlin, ’98 M.S., pitcher; A. 5S. Goodwin, *1900, catcher; C.. FE. Sullivan, 1900, catcher, and C. G, Bart- lett, ’99, catcher; also C. A. H. de- Saulles, ’°99 S., who played second base on the University nine two years ago. At the present outlook it is very doubt- ful if Goodwin will be able to catch this year on account of ill health. T. H. Clarkson, 1901, center-field of the Har- vard team in ’96, is in college, but will be ineligible on account of scholarship. Farnham of last year’s team is also in- eligible. Of the 1900 team, G. A. Lyon, E: S. Bronson,’ 'J.: S; Ferguson, F..1. Crawford, T. B. Clark, Jr., A. C. New- combe, R. Russell, R. L. Dunn, G. N. Whittlesey, are candidates for the Uni-— versity nine. What material there is in the Freshman class is as yet unknown. The schedule of games for the season is now being arranged by Manager F. W. Simmons, and will be announced shortly before the Spring recess. In order to better accommodate the crowds at the Harvard.and Princeton games the large East stand of the foot- ball field will be turned around and used for a baseball stand, a great improve- ment over the low bleachers. The old Freshman diamond was partly covered up by the moving of the football field, so that a new one will be laid out to be located to the right of the outfield of the University diamond. The full list of candidates for the vari- ous positions follows: Pitcher—F. C. Hecker, ’99; G. N. Whittlesey, 1900; O. P. Metcalf, ’98; Ur Me taall,:'00 S.;-G, PP. Ellerbe,: jr:, 1900; M. L.

Gibson, 1900 S.; N. M. Skiff, G. L. Cadwalader, J. W. Joy, H. F. Merriam, 1900 S. Catcher—G. M. Barroll, 1900 S.; W. B. Hubbard, 1900 S.; F. R. Serles, A. M. Hersh. First base—F. R. Serles, E.

Before electing officers the resigna- tion of Joseph T. Whittelsey, Yale, 67 S., who has been Secretary of the Association for the last six years was accepted and a vote of thanks tendered him in return for his faithful services. The election of officers for the ensu- ing year resulted as follows: President, Dr. James Dwight; Vice-President, joseph Clark; Secretary, P. E. Pres- berie; Treasurer, V. G. Hall. An Executive Committee composed of R. D. Wrenn, O. S. Campbell, Richard Stevens, W. A. Learned and L. E. Ware, was appointed, which will ar- range a new system of drawing for the intercollegiate tournament. 90 The Relay Team Defeated. At the Boston Athletic Association indoor games in Mechanics’ Hall, Bos- ton, last Saturday night, the Yale relay team was defeated by that of Harvard in the record-breaking time of 3:11%. F. H. Bigelow, Harvard, ’98, led W. S. Johnson, Yale, ’99, about a yard at the end of the first relay. Ira Richards, Jr., 1900 S., finished his relay about the same distance behind C. H. Williams, the second Harvard runner. W. G. Morse, Harvard, ’99, gained a little more than a yard on C. E. Ordway, 1900, which H. H. Fish, ’99, Harvard's last runner, lengthened to ten yards in the last relay, with A. H. Richardson, 1901. The time, 3:112%4, broke the for- mer record for the distance, 1560 yards, held by Harvard. J. J. Peter, 1900 S., won second place from scratch in the 45 yards handica hurdle race. : Crew Training. The progress of the University crew candidates during the past week has been in general satisfactory, considering the short time that the men have been at work. The tank work has been largely confined to individual instruc- tion and to the trial of the candidates at the various positions in the boat. Wil- liams, who stroked the first boat last week, has been prevented from rowing for several days by illness, and Flint of last year’s Freshman crew has taken his place. A departure has been made this year from the usual plan of preliminary work, in starting the candidates in on fixed seats. Sliding seats will not be employed for some time, as it has been found that good form and style are better established on the fixed seats. Use has again been made of large - mirrors, which are carefully located along the sides of the tank. These ena- ble the candidates to watch their own form throughout the stroke, and have proven a very effective aid in the tank instruction. hy Ip din ie MO Pa et The Yale Gymnastic Association team gave an exhibition at the Newark Y. M. C. A. gymnasium the evening of February 5th. 3 The souvenirs for the University Football Eleven this year are large oak frames about three feet by two, containing a group picture of the team, with the individual pictures of the twelve men who played in the Harvard and Princeton games, set about it. They will be given to the men shortly. CHASE’S PRICES & Fd & Most people say they are well up. That is perfectly true, and we mean to keep them there.
