GOOD BALL TEAM
AT THE COLLEGE
Prospects for the Coming Season
Exceptionally Good Some
of the Players.

The prospects for a. good baseball team
at Richmond College this season are
very good. The boys have been practic-
ing hard every day for the last two weeks.
Captain Kerfoot said yesterday that the
team would compare favorabIy with any
nine that the college has ever put on the
diamond The boys seem to have plenty
OF snap about them and are hitting hard.
There are seven of last years team
back and one of the nine of 1900. which
make eight of the old team applying for
their old positions, and they are working
hard for their places, the new men are
playing such fast ball the old men fear
they may lose their positions.
Captain Terfoot has twenty-seven ap
picants for the team, and has no fear
that he will place team on the diamond
that will win again for 1.-THE Spiders the
cup of the Eastern Division of the VirS
gnia Intercollegiate Athletic Association,
which is composed of Richmond College,
Harnpden- Sidney, Randolph-Macon, and
William and Mary.
1t is expected that Captain Kerfoot will
play his old position--catcher- He is play
ing a great game behind the bat. His
throwing to second is almost perfect
Cox is the most promising of the appli-
Giants for pitcher. He has some fine balls
and plenty of speed
Thomas, new man, who has an eye on
the place of pitcher. comes with a fine
record.
Collier, who played first last year, is
after the same place. He is doing .fiile
r,or, He made ONLY one error the entire
time of the last season
Tvler a new man. will, ts all probable
ity. hold down second He has had some
experience in baseball. playing on some
anna teur teams.
There is much guessing as to who Will
be third baseruan. +. II. Broaddus, OF
last years team, has an eye on 1t. but
has fine man trying for the same piats.
Moffatt, a new man, seems to be pull
ing a good game, and keeps his head
we'll
At shortstop, Staples. of last years
team, has a fine show for it. but Alle'Y,
n new man, is working hard for IL. ms
is Staples third year on the team ana
is a player you can always count on
Dunawas. the star fielder OF tile teams
OF 1900 and 1901, will hold his old position
in left field. He covers much space
and gets everything coming his way
T G. Rroaddlls will get center field, as
! he is a sure PLAYER in every stage OF the
game.
Ish, of the team of 1900. will get right
