FIRST GAME
OF SEASON
UNIVERSITY AND TWELFTH BAT.
Terry TO CROSS BATS NEXT
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
If Weather Permits, Game Will Be In
teresting Exhibition, University
Boys Having Good Diamond Of
Campus-Probable Lineup of the
University Ball Team.

Weather permitting, the opening
game of the baseball season for the
University of Wyoming will be played
on the university campus Saturday aft
ernoon, May 4, at 2:30, with the crack
Twelfth battery team of Fort d. A.
Russell. The cadets have been prac-
ticing very diligently and rave great
hopes of defeating the boys in blue.
They have fitted up a new baseball
field on the campus, which is conven-
iently near the gymnasium, and is so
located that it is very easy for specta-
tors to witness every detail of the
game. The university has recently
fitted the team with very nobby suits
in the brown and yellow, which will
make a decided contrast to the suits
of the battery.
Team Has a Record.
This battery defeated the Arcades
of Cheyenne by an overwhelming
score, and as this team of Arcades ex-
pected to get into the Colorado State
league, the Twelfth battery certainly
must have an excellent team. How
ever, the university boys feel confident
and the game will be exciting from
start to finish. 1t is hoped that the
varsity team will receive the hearty
support of the entire city.
The Probable Lineup.
The lineup of the university team
will probably be: Akeson, catcher;
Crowley, pitcher; McRoberts, first
base; Roberts, second base; Corthell,
shortstop; Abscher, third base; VOL
fard, left field; G. Wheeler, center
field; Worthington, Dickinson and
Price, right field.
