POOR SHOWING AT PRACTICE.
n. II. II. S. Players Unable TO Recover
from Effects OF Saturdays Game.

Instead OF all coming out for prac-
tice which the boys are very much in
need of, only nine candidates Of the
New Haven High shcool baseball squad
were courageous enough to show up at
Westville yesterday afternoon. This
was certainly surprise for a squad,
averaging thirty, had previously been
showing up daily for practice. 1t can
hardly be believed that most OF the re-
naming candidates were kept away
on account Of having a case OF cold
feet" over the outcome of their first
game with the Yale freshmen Satur-
day or that the weather was too pleas
ant for practicing. If they expect TO
have a chance on the team and to
have the team win the interscholastic
championship they surely cannot afford
to miss any of the practice. This was
shown by their poor playing in their
first game, which calls for a marked
improvement. ~
However, Coach Hackett was present
and put those present through some
exciting practice. las there was not
enough players for two teams, little
was accomplished.
The next practice will be this after
noon and 1t is expected that the boys
will have recuperated by then, for they
play the fast Pequot nine tomorrow.
Those who were present at practice
Yesterday were Falsey, Messenger,
Bacon stephen Starkweather, Hol-
lacher, Frazer, Flanagan and Flheid.

The fact that High school lost It's
first game Saturday, by large score
does not necessarily mean that their
chances for good team are slim. The
Yale Freshman nine was composed of
many star players, and that team no
doubt, could make the regular Yale
nine go some to come out ahead. Con-
eldering this and that this game was
the first one the local high has play
ed, the High school nine, by consist
ent practice ought to be able to turn
out a good team. The football team
lost to Hotchkiss "a to 0 at the begin
ming Of their season, but by steady
practice won the interscholastic foot
ball championship of Connecticut. The
basketball team also started poorly,
but they followed the example Of the
players on the gridiron and also end
ed splendidly, now having claim on
the interscholastic basketball cham
pionship. If the nine will follow these
good examples, they also ought to be
able to make a good showing and trim
their opponents. They have one great
advantage over the other two teams,
ard that is that they have a coach, and
one that Is competent coach, In Mr..
'Hackett, who has generously offered
his time and services to the candidates
and has been coming out to practice
daily.
