BASEBALL At MAyHATTA COLLEGE
Brother James's Boys Preparing for an Active
Cnupnlgn.

Coach II. A. ely had SO much success with the
Manhattan College football team last fall that
the students anticipate as prosperous a season
for tho baseball team. Ever since Brother
James issued a ca: for candidates early last
month Ely has been busy attending to the pre-
liminary work OF the thirty.two players who
want to play either on the first or second team.
Every afternoon the players exercise in the
gymnasium for about forty.five minutes. Then
follows one hours work in the handball court.
The players are being coached to handle hard
hit ground bills. Once a week the boys are sent
out to test their wind. and n run of from one to
three miles Is the distance they are supposed to
cover. The following Is q list of the candidates:
Pitchers. Peter Mcbride. Matt McPhiliips. William
ponohue, william Finnegan, William Roache. and
Henry Barton; catcher. Peter Agnew; %innelders.
Michael Shea. Garrett Cotter. Henry S. Carney. Frank

The students are elated because Brother
James is .akinR SO much interest in the welfare
Of the team. Part of the music room in the col.
lege has been placed at the disposal OF Coach
ELY to 6e used as a dr Eft hs room t 20 m Ihe el tSe

though games have been arranged with several
of the prominent colleges. Coach Ely says that
he does not fear them. as he has two pitchers
who will hold their own at all times.
An effort was made to schedule n game with
Columbia University, but the managers Of the
latter team refused. Some time ago President
Freedman of the New York Club wrote to
Brother James that as soon as the Nationa!
League schedule had been arranged he would
name a day on which the leaguers would meet
the young collcgians. Cornell wanted the Man.
hatians to play n game ut Ithaca, but it was not
thought advisable TO take the trip. This is the
schedule:
