CoRCoRAN CADET CORPS
Capt ESQ. Edwards will shortly call a
meeting of the Corcoran Cadets, or rather
of the members interested in baseball,
and talk over the prospects of organizing
a team for the season. If II is decided
not to put a team in the field this sea-
son then il is likely that the Corps will
sell its complete baseball outfit at once.
There are a number of members who
want to see team in the field and if
their motion prevails games will at once
be arranged with the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and Eastern Athletic
Club, Marines, and other local teams and
with the Baltimore Young Mems Chris
tian League team for July 4. which has
given the Cadets an option on that date.
A very strong team can be selected
from among the following: Heffner and
walters, catchers; 1glehart and Boyle
pitchers. Cooley, McGlue. Handiboe Wal
tiers Barnholt. Pearson. Haywood Mas
tin. and Donovan. inflelders: Zell. Lent
Aorl2rty, Chick. and NOgt, outfielders
Sherman, catcher of last seasons team
IS doing fine work with the Raleigh team
