BASKET BALL.
CREScENTS NOT FAST
 ENOUGH FOR NAUCATUCk

The Crescents went down to Nauga- tuck last evening expecting to take a game from the Naugatuck five, but they were sadly disappointed. The first half the Crescents for certain did look like winners, for they played fast and strong and when that half was over the local players were ahead of iNaugatuck by the score of 10 to G. In the next half the Naugatucks spurted and the game became fast and excjt- ing. The Naugatucks went by theit hard working opponents and remained there to the end, the final score being 20 to Is.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
THE DIAMOND.
HOLY CROSS STARTS
 CANDIDATES IN TRAINING

Worcester, Feb 3.-Candidates for the Holy Cross baseball team were given their first workout in the cage yesterday afternoon under Coach Tom McCarthy and Captain Spring. The number which turned out was not large. as many of the men who intend trying for the team are busy with oth- CT branches of athletics at present or are engaged in class work which they must make up before being allowed to report for practice. Coach Mccarthy and Captain Spring will have a serious problem to solve this year in develop ing men to take the places of Pete No0nan, Standard, Skelly, Devlin and MckeOn, who are among the missing.
 Of last years team, Captain Spring, Ennis, Flynn, Cashen, Hoey, O'Rourke, Tom Noonan and Mansfield are all back at college, and With the exception of Hoey, Cashen and O'Rourke were out in the cage yester- day. There is some likely looking ma terial among the candidates and the baseball authorities expect to turn out a first class team.
 The pitching department will be well looked after this year, as all of last years staff are available and there are five new pen out in addition. The position of catcher will be the most difficult vacancy to fill, as men like Noonan are not found in the col lege baseball every year. There are three or four men out for this position, however. and Mccarthy expects to find good man among them.
 The preliminary training this year has been changed somewhat. and two days week will be devoted to cage work under Coach Mccarthy, two days to dumb-bell drills in the gymna- sium under Captain Spring. and two days will be given to cross-country running. which is an innovation intro duced this year by Manager James Campbell and which is expected will help develop the wind of the players. Those who reported for work yester- day are as follows: Captain Spring, J. Flynn. Ennis. Tom Noonan. Carri- gan. r. Flynn. O'Dratn Barry, Brainy, Courtney. c. O'Donnell, Mansfield, Peloquin, Connor. Reed and Hogarty.
 Coach J. Fred Powers has decided to send Riley. Barrett. Roache and Ca hill to the Boston Athletic association meet at Boston this month in order that they may obtain experience on the track, as 1t is some of these mems first experience in indoor running.
