Association have elected their teams for 1878
and this week they will all 20 into gymnas'ic
training preparatory to taking the field next
month in regular practice games. in readiness
for the opening 81 the championship campaign
The Boston nine for 1878 will contain. with
two exceptions the same players a. the nine of
1871 the additions being Snyder of the Louis
Nllcs and Burdork Of the lIarifords Of 1871.
The new nine Of the champion club II 1S75-fOr
the Bost0ns by their success in 1877. won the
right TO ny the champion pcnuant during the
whole of the season of iSIS--will be composed
Of the following players: Snyder. g.. Burdock.
~ b.. Leonard. !. f.; Bond. p. Sutton. 81 b.;
ORourke c.f Morrill, 18th. D.; Geo. Wright, $. s.;
Manning. r. f.. with Shnicr MS assistant. From
the good style in which Snyder supported Dew
Inns swift pitching in the Louisville team in
1871 there L. little doubt of his being able to do
equally effective work when facing Bonds
pitching this scnson. The latter was trained
into stcadicr play in his position during 1877.
and he is not now SO hard on his catchcrs as he
was in the Hartford team of 1876. Still. he
is n troublesome pitcher to support. and
he especially requires pucky and steady
tempered catchcr to face him. This he
will have in Snyder. In the way Of
general field support, the Boston in field this
season will be stronger than 1t was last year.
from the fact that the accession OF that 1rst-class
second base man. Burdock. will enable George
Wright to resume his home position at short
field. whore he has no superior. II an equal. II
Sutton plays W to his old mark at third base.
