To make the baseball team at St.
Marys college means much to a man
of baseball ability, as st. Marys has for
the last three years won the college
baseball championship Of the Missouri
Valley.
Zach year their hardest opponent in
the game has been Baker university Of
Baldwin to whom St. Marys has never
lost a game while the amateur standing
of the Methodists has always been
questioned by all the conference
schools.
Among the veterans who will be in
the lineup this year are Walsh, catcher
and captain. whose ability as a catcher
in college circles is unequalled. Burns,
who has covered third for the last two
years will again be on hand. His bat
ting is steadily improving and his field
ing is always gilt-edged. Walter
Walsh who led the conference in hit
ting the last two years will IN all prob
ability be changed from second to short
and Schalaf1y a new recruit from St.
Louis university will play Walsh's old
position at second. For the initial sack
there is a pretty race between NoH of
Atchison. Swift of Detroit and Dillon
OF Kansas City with the odds slightly
in favor of the Detroit boy who has the
others boys vested on experience.
In the outfield the positions will be
given to the hitters and Quigley has a
world il good men from whom to select

third on the Scrubs last year will in
all probability play left field and the

be off in his fielding.

the Italians employing the art as early

that fireworks were used in England,
