ported that one New England college
intended 10 show up the professionals.
but there was no showing up and there
was little bowling One of the unfortu-
nate phases Of the question Is that three
New England college teams are branded
as not worthy of notice because they in
cuded professionals. If all the other
teams were amateurs, there would be
something in this remark. But when
facts show that the majority of the mines
are playing lneligibles, it is unjust TO
brand any one college team and let the
others escape attention. The situation Is
practically this: The colleges cry for
amateur ball but when il comes down to
a matter Of practice and not theory. the
mines are willing to use players who are
not eligible according to their own rules
The star individual players have, Of
course. been the pitchers. The work OF
Heyniger and DeshOn stands above the
others. Both are great pitchers. Desh0n,
into the bargain, is a hitter and won two
or three games by his own hitting. He
was extremely unfortunate in losing a
no-hit game to Harvard, but his wildness
at a critical moment was responsible.
Cornell was credited with being a
heavy hitting team, yet when the Itha-
cans had the right chance TO show their
batting skill they did not loom up so
strongly.
Heyniger n star.
Heyniger IS but sophomore and, of
course. has two more years Of pitching
He is a big, husky fellow. standing six
feet and one-half inch tall and weighs
lS5 pounds. In his freshman year he was
put IN the box IN the Harvard game, and
succeeded In winning, to 0. He also
beat Yale, 10 2, last year. On paper. he
appears to have a fine future. But it must
be remembered that the mighty Skillin.
OF Dartmouth, last year created such a
sensation that he was picked to do even
better things in his two more years Of
college ball Heyniger may have the
strength TO continue as he has begun.
Both he and Deshon are the leading
pitchers Of the year.
First-class catchers have been Waters
and Paine. Jones, of Yale has also
done brilliant work, but the first two
have the right Of way For the first base
Carney, Of Holy Cross, a left-handed first
baseman, a rare thing among college
mines, is both a skillful fielder and
strong hitter. He has batted above the
800 mark the past season and faced the
majority of the leading pitchers. Vaughn.
Of Princeton. appears 90 have the call
for second base, and Harry. of Holy
Cross, shOrtStOp Last season Beach, of
Amherst was the best man at short, but
"a has been played at second base this
season. where he has not created such
fine impression. His hitting also fell
of this season. Kinney, of Yale has
played poorly all season, and his work IS
far below that of last years. Leonard.
Of Harvard, is a fine fielder, and though
he did not do very much hitting, he
showed up better than any Of the other
third basemen, although Smith, of
Georgetown, was an exceptionally good
man. Tiff. of Brown, although a pitch
er. is something more. As an outflelder,
he is as good as the best and is q fine
hitter; Dexter. Of Harvard. In left, ap-
pears the strongest man and so does Nc
Dewitt, of Dartmouth. In center. a fine
fielder, fast base-rUnner, and a good stick
er. other fine feders are Cahill. of Holy
Cross: Raymond. Of Brown, Harlan, of
Princeton; BigelOw. Of Cornell.
