Emory and Henry College.
EMORY. VA, March 16.-Special.-
There are a number of aspirants for
positions OH the team. and although it
has not been permanently made out, the
team will be about as follows: Catcher.
l.. c. Gardner; pitcher, c. c. FARES
shortstop. W. ID. Rhudy; first baseman,
j.. II. Carlock; second baseman, c. ;.
Butler: third baseman. $. r. Savers;
left fielder, G.. S. Mcneil centre feeder,
s. NELL: right fielder. l.. X. Haynes.
If this team is put in the field it will
be one of which the college will be
proud.
With Gardner as catcher and FAIRIES as
pitcher the club will have battery
that will be hard to beat. Gardner is
about feet 8 inches high and weighs loo
pounds. He is a good man for the place,
and although he is not long batter,
still he IS . safe one.
FARES, the shortstop OF last year is
3 feet II inches and weighs l55 pounds
He is young. but has a good arm, and
can "twirl the mystic sphere with
dexterity that will in the near future
gain for him a lasting reputation.
Rhudy is a small man in stature, but
on the diamond he is decidedly large.
His forte is his base-running.
Carlock the first baseman of last year
and lef. tackle on the football team OF
this year, will probably hold down
first base this season.
Butler, on second base, is a good
strong man. and possesses the enviable
virtue of never allowing himself to be
ratified"
Savers Is a new man, but, judging from
his playing in the practice games, he
will make good man on third base.
Mcneil is the old full back on the
football team. and he goes after a fly
with the same vim with which he used
TO buck the line" He is man of
slight build. plays well, and is one of the
strongest batter3.
Haynes is a man of low stature. He
played as sub-pitcher on the team last
year. He is a safe batter, and can al
ways be relied upon TO Zine OUT a good
one.
