polo the prospects of first honors for the United
States will not be dazzling

Cornell is already well started on her baseball
season, having played two home games cred
itably in addition 10 the successful contests on
her trip among the colleges Of the South, and
one can now make a more intelligent forecast
OF the rest of the season than was possible a
few weeks ago The one prediction that Cap
tain "Morry' Winery and Hugh Jennings, the
coach, have made with the greatest emphasis
has been that the team would be strong at the
bat Already this prediction is proving true.
Jenningss prediction that the nfeld would be
fast is also proving to be far from unfounded.
Lewis the new freshman shortstop from Pitts
burg, is covering more ground, in the opinion of
the old timers that go down TO the field. than
any Cornell man in that position has ever done.
Brown, who sometimes erratc last year,
has gingered up remarkably. and does his work
at second base with much energy and sureness.
Ferguson, at first base, is at present the
weakest spot in the infield. He fails to handle
thrown balls with anything like the precision Of
Robertson and Murtaugh, his predecessors in
the position and both of them former captains
He is particularly inclined to play too far from
his base. Costello, al third, shows considerable
Improvement over last season, and longer
has the same number Of errors against him that
he used to have. The Outfield too is good.
Drake, the Princeton graduate, who is at right
field. and Brewster. at left, are reliable men
outfeld flies. TYdeman, at centref1eld. is not
sure either of these two. but is kept on the
team mainly because of his batting ability.
