The annual reunion and dinner OF the
New York Alumni of Brown University
will be held on Friday evening, April "a,
at iDelmonico's. The president of the
club, Mr.. Francis Lawton, will act as
tosstmaster, and President Andrews will
be present and speak. Invitations have
heen issued to a number of prominent
alumni of Brown and other colleges to
deliver addresses.
The Sop homore dumbell squad has ac-
ccepted an invitation OF the Rhode Island
Union for the Advancement OF Physical
Culture and will appear at the exhibition
Of the union In May.
The prospects of a good playing base
ball team at Brown were never brighter.
The candidates have been at work In the
cage during the winter term and have
improved every opportunity to play out
of-doors since the weather has been Glenn
ent. Although the team will De severely
handicapped in the loss OF the older and
more experienced men yet there is abuD-
dant good material for. this years team.
Ot the last years team Millard, Cook,
Paul White, Lowney, Donovan aud BUS
tard have left college. Seldom does 1t
happen that so many OF { important pc
sitlons are left vacant ia one year, but
Capt. Fultz has been very energetic and
the new, infieid plays quite as crecitably
as that of last year.
The candidates for the different posi-
tions are showing good form and much
snap. For catcher, Mellor Is probably the
most reliable man. He is an all around
ball player, and has quite an enviable
reputation as a pitcher. The other can
didates are j. Dunn and Lang. Both of
these men are playing ball better than in
previous years. For pitchers Thomas
Dunno, and Sedgewick are new men and
Brady and Summersgill are last years
men. II will be close race for the first
pitcher, as all the men have good control
and plenty of speed. For the position OF
first base il will be q contest between
Casey and Rodmsn. 1t now looks as
though the latter would make the posi-
tion, as he Is more agile
tain Fultz will cover second base. Phil
lips will probably play short stop. he
entered Brown this fall and comes from
the University Of Virginia, where he hes
distinguished himself in the past two
years. Lauder will play third base. He
is very quick and accurate and will make
a worthy follower of Lowney at third. In
the outfield sre Robinson, Gsmmons,
Sedgewick and Il. Dunno.
The team was coached by Fled Tenney
while in the cage and Rudderham OF the
Providence League Is now, coaching the
pitchers.
Manager Matteson hes not wished TO
have the schedule published until 1t was
entirely complete and until the chances CT
a change are small. In previous years
the publishing OF incomplete schedules
has deceived the publicsand affected the
sale OF season tickets. also when changes
have been made 1t has caused confusion.
The management are doing their best to
avoid anything Of the sort this season.
