MAINE STATE COLLEGE, Orono, April 49,
This year has witnessed marked increase
of interest in athletic and sporting interests
in the Maine State College. Several fortu-
nate circumstances have combined to bring
this about The faculty, who last year for
bade the boys entering the base ball league
of the Maine colleges, have this year recon-
sidered their determination and are wishing
the boys all success with the best nine that
the college has ever put into the field. This
spring the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, which is large and flourishing, took the
gymnasium in hand and fitted it up so that
1t has offered very good place Tor training.
As military drill, however, is part OF the cur
riculum it may be that the gymnasium does
not take the prominence here that it does in
other colleges. But this year nearly all the
boys have manifested a hearty interest and
have taken their exercise regularly. All the
athletic resources will be expended on the
base ball nine, of which the students have
high hopes Frank l.. Small, of Freeport, a
member of the senior class and well known
among professional base ball players as an
effective pitcher on last years Portlands, Is
captain of the team and it is needless to
say that he is introducing the high state Of
discipline which is felt here to be necessary
for the nine to meet on equal terms the high
ly drilled players of Colby and Bowdoin.
Small will occupy the pitchers box and will
be supported by Seymour e. Rogers, of Stet-
son, also a member of the Senior class The
other players have not all been chosen, the
outfield not yet being determined on. In the
infield George II. Babb, class 80, of Sebago,
will play first base; second base will be
guarded by William Phlhrook, class 'SS, of
Shelburne, N. H., and William L. Keith,
of Oldtown, class '91, will be on
third base. Edward III. Elwell, class 'SS, OF
Portland, will be short stop. The outfeld
and the spare men will be chosen from the
following: Hiram b. Andrews, class 'SS, of
Cape Elizabeth; Raymond E. Hoggett, class
'S8, of Newcastle Gilbert S. Vickery, class
'S9, of Bangor; John Bird, 2nd class, go, of
Rockland; Ralph III. Blackington, class 80.
Rockland; and Edward r. Merrill, class 81,
of Yarmouth. 1t is confidently expected
that from this material a team.can be put in
the field that will give Colby the hardest tus-
sic it has had yet to keep the pennant.
