chances in the high school games.
With world of material to pick from
Coach White will be sure to have a rst-
class team. Manager Shore has arranged
a good practice schedule so the Steno-
graphers will have plenty of time to get
in condition for the high school games.
Fifty men reported for the first day OF
practice and with the veterans now in
school the Business boys are sure to be

of the other pitchers has anything on
him. Hunter. a new man in school, Is
showing up well behind the bat. but as
Coach White has a large number of bat
terry candidates the positions will not be
given until after the practice games
Schrider and E,iker are also doing well
with the big mitt, so the backstop job is
in doubt.
Rathbone seems to have the call on the
first base job, as he is a fast man and a
good sticker. Phillips is a good man.
but owing TO his extreme Hghtness, a
heavier player gets the place. Capt
Dodge will play the short field and there
is no better fielder in the high schools
than Jack" Third base is a source Of
worry to the coach and the material on
hand will be weeded out until the right
man is found.

I think that We have a good chance to
bring home the bacon"
The feeling at Capitol Hill school all
points to a successful season on the dia-
mond and with the material on hand a
good nine is assured
Coach Donnely is fortunate in having
eight of last years team back in school.
and with these men to start with, the
development of a fast nine will not be
