PRINCETON. April 6.-The Princeton baseball
team will leave on their Southern trip next
Friday. playing the Baltimore League team in
baltimore on Saturday and Monday and tho
Georgetown College team in Washington
Tuesday and Wednesday. Capt. Brooks will
take fifteen men on this trip. and, owing to the
unusual large number of candidates for the
pitchers box, five pitchers will be taken along
There are at present twenty-three candidates
for the team. but, owing to the excellent show
ing made by the various candidates. but four
positions outside OF pitcher may be considered
as "cnched." namely: Otto. first base; {;
Gunster, third base; Payne. left field. and d.
Ward. right tield. Capt Brooks is undecided
whether to play second base. which he has been
covering thus far this season, to return to his
old position at short stop. The chances are that
he will be found Mt short stop for the rest of the
season. leaving Butler and Reiter to fight it ont
at second.
Princeton team this year, Williams. who caught
but fairly well last year. is showing no improve
mcnt. while Trenchard has greatly deteriorated
two new candidates for tho position, have re-
ceived little opportunity Of showing what they

team ;: m can snt keep up With the pace set by the
hs year than sSe or sev.rs
Bradley Altman. Hitzrot and Wilson are we'll
up in the Varsity class. while Easton and Jayne
lent substitutes.
Cochran. full back on last years Varsity, 10
covering first base for the second nine in man
ner which would insure him the position on tho
first nine II Otto were not covering It. II Brooks
goes to short. Butler. freshman from Law
renceyille will probably play second base al
though Reitsr. the Varsity half back. will give
him close rub for the position. Butler has tho
advantage OF being a heavier hitter and q
quicker fielder than Reitor. Gunster is covering
third in his usual brilliant manner and 10 hitting
the ball with more regularity than formerly
Payne and ID. Ward will tll left and right
field respectively. while centre field will in all
probabi lity be covered by Bradley when he 10
not In the pitchers box. and by Altman when
Bradley Is pitching. The recent Yale-Princeton
agreement depryes Princeton OF two of her
strongest men, Suter and Kelly. Both of these
players have just entered Princeton this term
and are not eligible to play in tho Yale game
and consequently will not play in any of the i'm
portant games. Suter is II heavy hitter. and has
been playing a strong centre field in practise
games, whilo Kelly is an available man for
sithrr short or second. Suter was the star half
back on the Pennsylvania State College last
conch. and has the men in iirst-class condition.
Az present there are but forty candidates for
the track team hut more are ex pected to come
out within the next few days. Tho track is be-
ing rapidly put in good condition. and owing to
the calibre of the new men Princeton will make
better showing this year than she did last.
