"Home Run" Baker is back in his old
stride and beaning the ball with more
accuracy and power than ever before. In
recent game he secured three singles,
two Dagger and triple. Not very bad
for an opener.
Arthur Bues, the former Buffalo pitch
er, has a great opportunity to be reg
istered for a berth on the Boston Braves.
Bues is out for shortstop and is opposed
by Walter Meanwhile, the diminutige
sbortstop, who filled this position dur

Al Sharpe, the Cornell trainer, says
that to be considered factor in coll
Iegiate basketball, any college that as
pires for the intercollegiate champion
ship should enter the Intercollegiate
league and fight hard and strenuous
to achieve the honors. Union
