Coach Doak is doing the umpiring and
primarily getting a limo on his pitch

pitching for the regular nine. Will
iiams's offerings exhibit speed. but
the younSStcr has u tendency toward
wildncSs at times. Ills strongest com
pciitor, Leon Shields. of NObgood, has
been occupying the mound for the, see.
ond- string aggregation. Shields played
short last season. but the mound Is his
accustomed post.
The lineup OF the second team con-
Shtuted the following players Julian

The outfield department of the rcEu-
lars seems 10 be uncertain in its make
up for the early season games. Julius
Johnston, letter man of 1914, has praC-
tically Squandcrcd his chances by irrcg-
ular training. Coach Doak is calling
him TO his knitting. by transferring him
Tor the time being TO the scrub team.

placed Johnston in the regular lineup

lar training of Johnston. Coach boa X
is up against Il knotty problem in the
makeup of his outiicld.
The player from the Suffolk Collcg-
rams. Johnnie llonig, is sticking with
leach like irmncss TO his job in left
field. lie has routed the raft Of compe-
in February. IlOnig is an invctcrate
worker, and Is chockful OF enthusiasm.
HUBERT kailey, Of Wake COUNTY. center
helder, has returned to training qua
ties. He is the lightweight fielder OF
the bunch. His helding was tip-top
in 1919, and his slupring in the con
tests with the University OF Virginia
was the rcdecming feature OF the con
test Bailey is the Quaker of the ag-
Eregation-hc talks little and reserves
ms chats for on-duty occasions.
The excess baggage which the inncld
players labors under is t4lc topic for
discussion from observers. Bill Pope,
football player. is regularly on the job
at the initial station. He is a hitter
from away back yondcr. Paul Bruce
shortstop. Is laborinE Zcalously to adapt
himself TO the new post. His regular
position at Elon College was second
base. Bruce was a whale OF 4 sluggcr
ut Elon College. and he has 4 reputa-
ton to live up to.
The third sacker. Kimbrough Sheek.
from Weaver College, has not been In
I training for Il week. He Is on the
| sick list. Sheeks job will be held in

training camp. lie is one OF the best
