TIME yellow Jackets are taking
advantage of this fine base
L ball weather, getting in some
valuable practice. The whole squad,
composed of 90 men, turns out each
day.
Coach Heisman is enforcing a more
systematic style of practice this year,
and as a result ne thinks there will
not be so many sore arms in the
squad
When a man reports for practice,
his first duty is to run around the
track once. Then he gets little
hunting practice, then throws for
some one else to bunt. and by that
time he is warmed UP sufficiently for
q good workout at the position he
is trying to make.
Baseball Lectures.
In addition to the practice every
day. Coach Heisman is giving a lee
lure each afternoon at 5 o'clock, on
the scientific parts of baseball. He
diagrams a baseball field on the
blackboard and names men for each
of runners on bases and so many out.
The batter knocks the ball to par
t!cular player and coach will ask
him:
Now that you have it, what are
YOU going to do with it?"
This manner of drilling is valuable
to a young player, obviating bone
head" plays,
The catchers are showing up extra
good this season. Attridge and With
erington, of last years team, are
working hard to see which is the
best while Lillard and Bird, two new
men, are showing them that they
have a little competition. Fitzgerald,
Pierce Vandiver and Stephenson are
also trying for that position.
1t is too early to pick the best
pitchers, as none of them have turned
loose anything, and will not for sew
eral weeks. But the pitching staff
promises to be very good, as Eu-
banks, Fielder, Clark, r. c.. Jordan
c. L. Jordan, Camp and myself are
left over from last year and host
of new material, with good prep
school records, is out.
Those with best records are Shaw
Bryant, Carpenter, Fetner, Blunt
Fox, Farago, Suggs, Burdick, CARING
ton, Bick, Morton and Thomas None
Of the pitchers will be cut from the
squad until about the first Of March
Rivalry for First.
At first Amason and Burk are the
only veterans, but there are several
new men that will make them hustle
for the job. Newson is showing up
best of the new men, the others are
Hammond Reister, Casey, Seawell
and Aubry.
For second, short and third there
are number of candidates, and it Is
here that Coach Heisman is going to
have trouble.
Jack Donaldson and Edgar Mon
tague are the only "T" men for these
positions, but there are some sub
sttutes from last year that will have
iook-in for berth. They are Mer-
rill Holland, brother to Harry and
Sid Holland, and Clay, who has
scrubbed for three years. He will
stand good chance of making a

The Outer Gardens.

montague, four "T" men, are on their

TO drop out.
Also some places must be made for
one or two new men. Burr, Malone
