Porter has also been showing re-

ance OF the last two seasons next spring.

OF the nine regular players of last

spring. They are Capt Harlan. left field;

r. Vaughn. shortstop, and z. A Dillon
second base J. L. CoOney. catcher; W. Z.
Mclean. first base. and L. ". New
comb. center field. were lost by gradua-
ton.
The loss OF Cooney Will be most keenIy
felt The big leader had phenomenal
steadying effect on the pitchers and on
the rest of the nine, as well. and it will
be hard 10 find q catcher who combines
all Of his good qualities
The candidates for the position this
season are s. Phillips and J. N Watkins.
both Of whom have good records on the
second team. where they have PLAYED for
two years
F. It. Dawson. who caught for his
freshman team last year. Is also steady
man behind tho plate, and will make a
good bid for the position this spring.
Except for the loss Of G. A. Walker.
the pitching stan remains intact this
spring. The Tigers viii pin their hopes
on Big" Heyinger again this year, and
as twirler he has never failed them
His cool nerve IN the box has pulled the
team out of some critical situations in
the last two years. while he possesses
hrst-rate speed and fields his position in
good shape.
II. Drewes showed a marked improve
ment last year. and has developed into q
reliable man. w. Clark. jr., also showed
good style on the mound last year. while
&. F. Wilcox. 1910. who pitched for the
freshmen last year, viii make some Of
the veterans hustle for the position.
The rest OF the infield will be composed
OF fast and accurate players Sides at
third base is sure fielder and good
batter. Yaughn's batting is also of \
high standard. He covers his position of
shortstop in a very efficient manner. and
is an excellent thrower.
Dillon at second base is a steady player
and a timely hitter First base. however.
is left vacant through the graduation OF
Mclean. c. NJ Hamill E c. Selby. and
W. r. Warwick are all experienced men
and VIII be candidates for this position.
Capt. Harlan viii play left field. as he
has done for the last three seasons. He
is good man in every respect. having
had a fielding average of 1000 for the
last two years and also good batting
average. Wister will again be at right
field. Other candidates for the outfeld
VIII be W. r. Warwick and c. F. Pitman
