The manager added that while he ex-i
.pected n victory, the game might prove
more exciting than most people thin;t,f
as his men, although old hands at the
business, are still quite sore and still r.
from the lack OF exercise while the ct,l-S
.leglans, on the other hand are JUS. as
,live8and isprys as they will ever be. "a
Captain Staples, OF 1.-THE college team,
says that he does not expect to allow tho
professionals to walk over his team

mind, each being determined to do his
utmost to win out. i33l 5s8s &
THREE PITCHERS.
y AS will he observed from the foregoing
line, each team expects to give Bat least
three pitchers trial. and It is pr0ba bic
that each will toss for three innings It
4 is also possible that the Phillies will have
two catchers, as both Manager thinner,
and Roth are anxious for a try out. d
* Inc fhliliess were out IN force ats the
park yesterday afternoon, leaving the
hotel at ? 9 clock and not getting back
until 8. They worked theoretically and
with a will. as a consequence OF which
all were more or less sore last night.
Their muscles have not become accus-
toned to the exercise as yet. but 1t is
expected that this afternoon will find
them in fine fettle. 815E Il
After the pros left the field the college
men took possession, no less than twenty
men being on the ground all in full uni
form, and ready for hard season OF
practice. They showed up remarkably
well, and some will no doubt develop
5intoreally good opponents Of the natlonal5
game. Other, contests will be arranged
later. AZ s,5i ,f, III yiia i65 AZ e
