The team this year will be led by two
stars, ]. NJ Dooley, captain. and Earl
III. Collister, coach. Capt. DOoley has
played shortstop on the team for the
past three years, and has the distinction
OF holding the highest batting average
each year during this period. He was
captain of last years team, and on ac-
count Of his ability as a leader and his
brilliant work as player was reelected
to the captaincy this year. Coach Col
lister is man of we'll known all-around
athletic ability. He played quarterback
on the Collegiate foot ball team last year
and second base on the base ball team
Several Of last years box artists returned
to the college this year. These men are
Levigg, COe and Hill.
Levigg is a spitball artist, and last
year proved terror to all corners. He
played during the past summer and
damp ball. His curves are fast-break-
ing and his control is superb. Last
year he pitched a game against Dick
erson College, the latter team losing
the game by the score Of to 3. COe
is southpaw artist, steady and relia-
BILE. His work has been responsible for
much OF the success attained by West
ern Maryland in base ball. He is eX-
ing year. and much dependence Is be-
ing placed in his strong left arm. Hill
has twirled for the second team for
| two years, and is about ripe to break
| into fast company" He has always
| done good work. and is willing and
| ambitious. There are also several new
men who are expected to make good in
the box. The work of Treisler, who
has pitched fine ball for HagerStoWn,
will be watched with interest by Coach
Collister and Capt. Dooley.
The infield this year will be exactly
as it was last season. every man hav-
ing returned to the college. Stultz, at
| first; Gibbons. at second: Dooley. at
shortstop. and Sprague. at third. The
| first three OF these men have played
these positions for the past three years.
| 1t has not been definitely determined
| who will do the backstop work, nor
has the outffeld been selected. The
men who played these positions last
year did not return. This situation is
causing no uneasiness, however. as
there are a number of new students at
| the institution this year from which
these positions can be filled.
Interest in base ball was never keen
er at Western Maryland than 1t Is this
year. The team will begin practice in
the gymnasium the last week in Feb
ruary and will get outside as soon as
| possible. The first game will be played
at Emmitsburg, Md, April /, with
Mount st. Mary's College.
