The Delaware College baseball
team took advantage Of the mild
weather and held their first 1ut-of-
door practice yesterday afternoon.
Coach MacAvoy put the men through
a light batting and fielding practice
on the rear campus. Jolls. Houchin
and Geoghegan tossed the ball over
while the remainder of the pitchers
did not use any speed or curves and
the batters had little trouble in lining
out hits, which kept the fielders chas-
ing.
OF the pitchers, Jolls. the veteran,
showed up the best up caches" saws
that his shoulder which gave him so
much trouble last year, is in good
shape now and he is going TO show
the goods this year. This makes
Jolls' fourth year on the Varsity. He
has been the mainstay of the pitching
staff since his freshman year. when
he pitched fifteen staight games and
won the majority OF them. Houchin
and Geoghegan also showed up we'll.
The freshmen pitchers all seem
pretty good. Hoch, brother of Cap
tain Hoch, showed up the best. He
had better control and handled him
self better than most of the new men.
Bounds was another freshman who
seemed to have the stuff
Captain Hoch j. Taylor Lind,
Huston and Foster are the only mem
bers of last years team who returned
to college this fall. Hoch and Hus-
ton are the only two who can be
counted as heavy hi tiers. There is
some fine material among the new
men and every old man will have to
hustle to hold down his job. There
are several of last years scrub team
who reported for practice today and
all said that they we're out to secure
place on the big team. Grieves,
who played right filed on the scrubs
/ last season. should make the first
team if he can improve his batting
Gibney and Gravel are both good in
| felders ana showed up well on the
scrubs last year. Connellee and
Loomis can both play the outfield, but
neither are good stickers. 1t looks
as II new outfielder would have 10
be developed
Captain Hook was very much
pleased with the turn out today, and
said: "The fellows certainly showed
the proper spirit today. and if they
Just keep it up. we will have some
ball team here this year"
Coach MacAvoy. although he would
make no definite statement. said that
he was pleased with the prospects for
a good season. He said that he
thought most Of the candidates looked
good. Mac said that every man
would have a chance for the team
and the best men would land the
job.

all the flesh and fat producing elc-
ments in the food will be easily as
simulated and retained by the body
The large sale Dr. Howard has had
on Samose since he first introduced
IL in Wilmington and the wonderful
results following its use have made
him such an enthusiastic believer in
its great merits. that he gives his
personal guarantee 10 refund the
money If Samose does not make thin
people fat and restore strength and
health
When d gain in weight is noticed
after Samose has been used for a

MARLIN SPRINGS, Tex, March 5.
johnny McGraw declares he has the
most promising collection of young
baseball players in the country at the
training camp here In talking about
the new comers the other day the
Giants manager said: "The young
sters here who are trying for a berth
on the team are the most likely lot
I've had in years. Such being the
case, it is a difficult matter for me to
separate the chaff from the wheat.
Cooper, who is trying for an outfeld
berth, will be one of the biggest stars
in baseball in year of two All he
needs is experience He has every
thing else Jacobson in another. Jim
Thorpe, the Indian, is going to make
a big league player. He has just one
weak pOint-a failure to get ground
balls-but he will overcome this. He
will surely give the speed demons
run for their money this year on the
paths. Milton Stock is another star
who will make a name for himself.
In the pitching line Hanley and
Schupp have done fairly we'll, but
need more experience" McGraw
states that he is not sure whether he
will make any changes in last years
lineup or not but it is limited that he
is contemplating a change in the out
field positions. The older members
of the team here are in good shape.
Judging by the present state of affairs
the Giants should be off TO a good
start Rube Marquard and Fred
Snodgrass will join their comrades
here March 10.
