With a squad OF. twenty-five candidates
out for places on the team. and with
seven veteran players to fill the regular
positions they held last year. the Galiau-
Diet College baseball candidates are prac-
ticlng every afternoon on their diamond
under the instruction OF Capt ]. T.
Hover. The men are hustling TO get into
form as soon as possible, and are run
ming a merry race among themselves in
their individual endeavors TO win a place
on the nine which will represent the Ken
dali Green institute in the first practice
game OF the season. to be played with
the Central High School in q short time.
With Birck and Battiste on the mound
for the college, both Of whom displayed
their ability by the excellent article of
BAH they put up last year, the coach need
fear nothing In the pitching department.
Morris, another veteran Of last year will
undoubtedly pitch a good share Of this
seasons games. as he is doing most OK
cellent work as far as seen yet this
spring. The team has been out for only
a few days. and very little opportunity
has been given to get line on the differ

accessible TO the team at present. It is
probable that he will be put in the out

at third base for the team, and holds
down the sack with ease. very few Of
the "hot ones" ever getting by his sta

With no practice games as vet. there
Is no basis on which to figure the ability
of the team in batting. but the men will
set a thorough workout in that branch
