OF Their Training at Home.

The Williams baseball squad will
have no Easter trip this year, but
there Is a possibility of the members
who live in New York city and vici-
nifty playing a game with the South
Orange field club or Stevens institute
during the recess. For two years
the squad has been taken to New
York for the recess and has spent
most of the vacation working on one

year the members will spend the re-
cess at home. The indications at

it's return from the vacation, as the
mild weather has already removed
what frost there was in the ground
and a few warm days will make pos
sible outdoor play.
