 There are ten men now in training for the University crew and these men will re- main through the race. Seven of the posi- tions in the boat are already determined up on; the other will be filled from the remain | ing three men and the two men then left will be the substitutes. It is practically settled that Cross will stroke. He is senior, was substitute on last years crew and has sev- eral times stroked his class crew. He is a | faithful worker and good things are expected of him. Bob Cook is reported as speaking o1 ,,E oV11 of hn nrox in Captain Stevenson and his men will get the blue across the line first at New London next June if it is possible thing.
 The Field took on business aspect yes terday afternoon. The University nine was practicing on the main diamond, the fresh ! man on the second and Mott Haven candl- dates were hard at work on the track. There are plenty of candidates for both Varsity and freshman hines and the Field was well occupied in consequence. There was no game yesterday, only general practice was indulged in and there was little basis, there- fore, for the formation of any judgment of the teams ability. It was the first day on the Yale Field, but the recent trip had given them valuable practice From present indi- cations the in-feld will be reasonably strong, while the outfeld of the nine will be weak. Damn behind the bat may be de- pended on for his old reliable game, as may McConkey also at second. Moves at short playe0 l1sbleSSly yesterday AnO seeLu5 III ueeO of a considerable stirring up. Mcbride
 promises to made good first baseman. He
 is quick and cool and throws well. Dalzell
 will cover third well, although Poole occu
 pied the position most of the time yesterday.
 The latter is not certain, seems bewildered at
 times and is slow. Center will be
 strong with Hunt in that position,
 but right and left fields are weak.
 These will be the difficult points to fill. There is an abundance of
 candidates, but the material is not of the best quality. Kellogg will be sadly missed in right field. Yale men do not express the confidence in the nine that they did before the recent trip and the way in which Stagg was batted seems to be the thing which has shaken their confidence. Captain Stagg is working hard with the team, but should not let this interfere too much with his work as pitcher. There is no cause for alarm. Stagg will get himself together soon and come up smiling as usual, source of dread to op- posing batsmen.
