Will Turn Out Strongest In
History of College
GRAYSoN COACHING FARMERS
Four Star Slab Artists to Twfrl for
Orange and Blnck-Capt. Shfpiey
BeIair College Backstop VIII Do
the Receiving This Year.
By CHARLES w. SWAN.


From the present outlook, Maryland
Agriculture College will have the strong
est baseball team in the history of that
institution.
Under the able coaching Of 'Sus" Gray
son. the former star catcher and third
sacker of the Farmers, and Prof. Rich
ardson. the Aggies will be able to give
them all a run for their money.
Coach Grayson has two good box artists
IN Hoficker, former star twlrler on the
Raising Sun team, in the Charles County
League, and Smith, who halls from the
wilds of Tennessee. Smith has wonderful
speed, and under the able coaching or
Grayson will develop into a classy oo1
artist Duckett, the twirler of the fast
Bladensburg independent team. is also a
candidate for the box job. Besides having
speed, Duckett has a good assortment
of benders, and should be good man for
the Orange and Black. The only south
paw in college is Lepper, who shows signs
of making a frst-class twirler. With this
strong quartet of slab artists to do the
twirling. the Maryland Aggies should
have a banner year on the diamond.
Munnikheysen, who caught on the Bel
air College team last year, is the most
promising man that is out for the back
stop position.
''Munie" is a fast man on the bases,
{ hard hitter and true pegser. and viii
be q big help to the Farmers. Turner.
whu caught for the VillanoVa College
team for the past three years, Will be
rHc sub catcher, unless present plans mis-
carry.
Mudd on First Base.
Mudd. a substitute OF last years team
will take care of the first station this
season Mudd is hitting the ball on the
nose and fielding his position in mid
summer form, so Coach Grayson will not
have TO worry about the first base propo-
sition
Second base will be n charge of Rit-
te-. the star second sacker OF the La
Plata team, in the Charles County
League. Ritter is a fast fielder and
hard hitter and will be able to give
good account OF himself when the inter
collegiate season opens.
Shortstop will be ably taken care of
BY Reubert, who created quite a furor
last season in amateur circles in New
York State. Reubert is very fast man
and a good sticker
Shpley. who played the third sack last
year, will again do the honors at the
EIberfeld station. Capt. Shipley is with
ont a doubt the premier third baseman
in Maryland intercollegiate circles. Be
sides being q corking good fielder Shipley
IS a fast man on the bases and a hard
hitter. Shipley will be the cleanup man
or the AEgies nine this season.
J. Lednum will in all probability be the
general utility man this season.
The Cutfield will be in charge OF three
OF the fastest men who have ever played
the outer gardens for the Farmers.
Goeltz. of last years team, will again
be seen in left field. AS Goeltz is fast
man and a good sticker, the AggieS will
have a star outfelder for the sun field.
r. Lednum, of last years team, will
gather them in out in center, and Fur
Miss will take care of right field All of
the outfeIders are veterans of last years
team, and, besides being fast men, are
good stick wielders. This trio of outer
gardeners will be the best in college cir
cles in Maryland
The Aggies could not have secured a
better man TO coach the team than "Sus"
GraysOn, four times captain of the Farm
erS. Grayson is one of the leading re-
ceivers in Maryland intercollegiate cir
Cl6S anu UNDERSTANDS IlS game GnOr-
oughly. The late Simon Nichols was
Graysons first instructor in baseball and
predicted a bright future on the diamond
for the Eastern Shore lad, which he has
more than fulfilled
Prof. Charles S. Richardson, faculty
athletic director, has always done the
utmost in his power for the Aggies team.
and this year is confident that the
Farmers will have the strongest nine that
has ever represented them on the dia-
