and came TO Brown from Vermont Acad-
emy, where he captained and pitched Tor
the team. For three years he has as.
sisted Brady in the box and ne general
thing has played a steady effective game.
This season, however. his arm has been
in bad shape, stiff and sore, in fact so
much so, as TO necessitate his taking l)r.
Brooks electric treatment He is some
what better now and feels confident OF
doing betterswork for the remainder OF
the season.
Jimmy Dunne's Work.
Jimmy Dunno, brother of Pitcher
Dunno, is looking after Browns interests ,s
back of the bat, and looking after them
in good shape, too. Jimmy caught on
he Polytechnic Institute team of Brook
lyn before he came here, but Tor tne
past three seasons he has caught Brady
and Summersgill's curves. He is one. oil
the best catchers in the intercollegiate
world and is as steady as clock work.
Among the substitutes who have made
the Brown team this season are Gerney,
Boyd, Casey and Perkins
Yale's Men.
As usual, Yale's crippled and dilapi-
dated team has pulled itself into shape,
the dscoragement of fow weeks ago mas
passed away and today the Blues are In
a
career this year. Captain keater ana ms
men arrived in Providence shortly aiter
IL O'Clock this morning, ana spent tne

game in the lobby of the Narragansett
hotel. 10 News reporter Captain
Keater expressed an opinion that there Is
no reason. why Yale should not defeat
Brown as easily as she did on the first OF
the month at New Haven. Captain Fultz
of Brown, hexeYerrtook- an entirely
different view of the matter and though
somewhat discouraged over the recent
ruling of the faculty In closing out BRADY
and Dunno, still thinks Brown Will capture
the game hands down.
Yale has not as many veteran varsity
players on her ~ team AS mas Brown, nor
are they of as high standard. Natur-
ally her team work has been somewhat
ragged. and with Feary laid on the shelf
temporarily, and Greenway pitching after
a recent touch of malaria, there was no
telling what kind of showing would be
made.
Captain Keater.
or the most reliable men on the Yale
team, Captain keHtpr rs probably the
best. For the past four years he has
PLAYED in center field, covering his posi-
tion TO the satisfaction Of all. Originally
he hailed from Williston Seminary, the
school Mt which Cook, Browns new right
fielder attended, and while there gained
quite "a name for himself rs ball player
He is "A safe hitter, good felder and an
accurate thrower.
Wallace, the right fielder and pitcher,
only made the team this season, though
last year he played on the freshman nine.

Ietton and Greonway are both Andover
men who, for the past three years have
filled the positions of first base and
pitcher respectively.

Letton covers first in good form. He

stances would go scudding out in rgh
field. His batting is excellent and he is
looked upon as one of the best hitters
on the toam.
Groenway is another heavy batter, and
exceptionally heavy hitter for pitcher

with Charley Paine of Harvard. Wilson

speedy, however, has good control and
with fair support proves quite effective.
