FROM present indications Manager
Shnter VIII nave just such a team as !
was put on the diamond by Jake Wells I
In his Illmiest days and the former has
the satisfaction of knowing that he has I
the admiration of all for his good work. !
AT the first of the season there was a.
good deal Of grumbng heard from sun
dry quarters; the fans did not believes
very much in the ability of tho home
team. But all this dissatisfaction has.
disappeared like chaff before the wind,
for the prognosticatlons of the few have.
been belied by the facts and the prophe-
sizes Of the steady believers and the faith {
full few have been realized to an even
unhoped-for extent. The men have shown
more than an ordinary hitting ability for
q minor league. and In team work they
are incy,nparable, so far as the other
teams and the games of last year ares
concerned Reeve and ONeil play to-
Eether like q piece OF machinery. and the
others have shown up as we'll with their
more limited opportunity. SO seldom is
an error made in the outffed that the
gardeners hardly know how to pick up
n rolling ball. something they must learn,
for even the best fielder will drop
catch at some period of his life.
The University College of Medicine
baseball team, champions OF the medicos
in the city, are contemplating taking
trip after commencement, If games can
be scheduled for that time. A game with
Hampden- Sidney has already been ss-
| cured, and it is likely that others will
soon follow. The University College team
| is composed of some rare good material.
and they have made good showing Tor
themselves In the few games they have
played The first game, with the Medl-
cal College of Virginia, resulted IN
score of 9 to 1 In favor OF the University
College men. The game with the Union
Theological Seminary resulted In tie,

On Saturday night the students acs
Virginia will hold their annual cleo

Office in which all the students may

association, then, is distinction OF
which any student may be proud. and

much canvassing for the favortes.
