BOISE BASEBALL TEAM
HOLDS FIRST PRACTICE

Boise, March 7.-Boise high
schools chances for a fast baseball
team appear to be picking up as the
pitching squad is already showing a
little speed and as there is a world
of material the boys will probably be
whipped into fast team. The first
out of doors practice for this year
was held yesterday afternoon.
The practice up to this time has
been confined to the pitching and
catching squads and the work has all
been done in the school gymnasium
but Coach Mitchell VIII take his hus-
kies out in the open and endeavor to
get line on their class. Several of
the pitching aspirants show that they
have some knowledge of the game
and one or two show exceptional abil-
ity for this early in the season.
