The Yale ball nine will leave for Boston
this evening. The batting order will be
practically the same as at the last Prince
ton game-Murphy 3b, Beall Of, Bowers p,
Carter Q, Case If, Bliss IF, Norton 2b, Har-
vey So, Jackson Id. Bowers is in the pink
of condition. Murphy's errors at the game
at New York Saturday have been the sub
ject of considerable comment. The fact is
that the doughty captain was cutting a
wisdom tooth and was out of condition in
consequence. All through the week his
face has been swollen and the tooth has
troubled him. In order to be in perfect
condition for the game Thursday he had
the tooth drawn. He is now in good
training again and expects to make Har-
ward hustle to pile up more runs than Yale
will.
The prospects for the nine for the COM
ing year are better than they have been in
some time. Bowers has all the Yale
rooters by deciding to enter the law school
in the fall. Carter, Rustin, Bliss, Beall,
Case, Norton, Harvey, Rustin and Murphy
will be back again, and several promising
baseball players are expected.
George Reddington, who has studied for
two years in the Syracuse university, a
| brother of E. J. Reddington, will enter

| made fine reputation both as a baseball
player and as a football player. His regu-
| lar position on the nine is second base.
He is as quick as cat, fields the position
| well and is hard hitter. A year ago last
summer he played on Stages
nine at Chautauqua and had
the benefit of Yale's ex-captain's coaching.
Stagg had high opinion of his playing
Qualities and tried to get him to come tc
Yale.
Reddington will undoubtedly make the
nine and will stand very good chance Of
making the eleven.
Aside from Bowers there will be ne
dearth of good pitchers. Case, who ha.
done very good work in the box as an al
ternate with Bowers, is such good fielder
that he will probably be kept in that posi-
ton next year. Davis, the freshman pitch
er, will do very well for few innings, bu
weakens in a long hard game. He doesn'
care enough about it to do the requisite
training to become strong pitcher, ant
probably will figure very light in the boz
next year.
The man in whom great deal of conf
dence is felt is Bradley of the Lawrence
vile school, who will enter Yale mex
fall. He is looked upon as phenomena
| pitcher and under the training at Yale i
expected to develop rapidly. He has strucl
out King twice and in other ways ha
shown exceptional ability as pitcher.
u Another man that may enter the scien
, entifc school next year is O.W. Sedgewic
, of the Wilkesbarre academy. In gam
with Holyoke high school but one hit wa
made off him and he struck out eightee
: men. The Amherst freshmen likewise &c
but one hit off him and had seventeen me
, struck out. The Amherst agriculture
COLLIDE was more fortunate in what the
got-two hits and had three strikes Gale
t | on but sixteen. A record of ffty-on
q strikeouts in three games is not bad az
erage by any means.
Young Sedgewick visited his brother i
D 93 recently, and in trial over at the feel
Q struck out Murphy and Beall. Murph
a was of the opinion that with proper trair

The young pitcher is thinking somewh.
of entering Amherst. If he gives that u
a he will either enter Yale next fall or
n year later at farthest. With Sedgewic
q and Bradley in college next year the fresl
q man class surely ought to have stron
nine, and the Varsity team will have
better supply of pitchers than has been tt
e case for the past two years.
