victory for the Farmers as the Balti-

Blodsett pitching for the Naval Acad-
envy nine. is probably one of the best ath-
letc prospects that ever entered the
service institution. His work this year,
though his first has been of high cali
Der. While he showed a lack of knowl-
edge of those fine points of play which go
to make the great foot ball player. there
is not the least doubt that he evidenced
exceptional natural ability: he could hard
~ be termed a great player now. but has
in him the making of one. and if he does
not prove one of the stars of the foot
ball world before he graduates 1t will be
great surprise to those who have
watched his work.
Blodgett is also a pitcher of ability. He
has been working pretty regularly on the
mound this spring, and his performances,
in the main, have been very creditable.
Blodgett is also very capable man in
the field events. being able TO put the
that event and proved himself an all
round performer in the interclass games.
Blodgett is a big fellow. possessed of
very pleasing personality. and is d
graduate of the New York High School
of Commerce. While in the scholastic
ranks he was given a position on the
Greater New York All-Scholastic eleven,
one of exceptional honor.
'Skeetz'' Hayes playing with the
Bankers last year. received a request re-
Gently to wire his terms to the Ports
mouth club of the Virginia State League.
The salary limit i'll that circuit is $50
per month. The figure Hayes wired was
nearly twice that amount. which prob
ably caused the owners Of the team to
wonder if he wanted them to make him
present of the franchise.
