Bradford For First.


Bradford bradford caught a few
Games last wear, but was taken SICK
and was forced to leave college until
the baseball season was nearly over.
Bradford played the initial sack at
Kents Hill. where he prepared ior
Bowdoin. He has good arm, when
was his chief asset behind the bat last
year.
Among the candidates for catcher,
two are prominent. One IS arthur
Chapman, a junior, who did the bulk
Of the work last spring. The other Is
Orett F. Robinson, freshman, who
caught for his team in the class series.
In spite of the fact that Robinson Is
hut a freshman, he is older than most
college men. He seems to have had ex-
perience behind the bat, although ne
has never played in fast company.
Two veterans Of last years outfield
are left-Frank E. Phillips and
Karl A. Phillips and Kari A.
Woodman. Phillips played left field
and Woodman right. Alec Goodskey,
who played nearly half the season IN
center field, but who did not make his
letter, is senior this year. He seems
to be the man for center field. Another
outfielder is Jacob B. Ham, a Hebron
bow. who has the earmarks of a ball
player, although he may not make the
team thiss year. Mcpherson, former
Brunswick High star, played In the
inf1eld in high school. but there is some
talk of using him in the outfield. in
view of the unusual amount OF other
inf1eld material.
Bowdoin has more pitchers than she
has had for many a day. Tho chief
veteran is Samuel Fraser, a senior. who
last year was the mainstay in the box.
Other men who pitched last year are
Pendleton and Stanley, both sopho-
mores. Three freshmen swell the list
of box artists. Clifford Butterneld
was last year captain Of Andover's
nine and Is an experienced player. An
other is John White. former Maine Gen.
trail Institute pitcher. White has all
kinds Of steam and good assortment
Of shoots. The third freshman Is Arno
C. Savage, Bangor Highs pitcher last
spring. Savage is a big man, but lacks
the experience the other men have.
Coach Ben Houser was expected to
come to Brunswick sometime this last
week to work out with the squad but
was unavoidably kept away. The orig
inal plan was for Houser to come down
from his home in Litchfleld at regular
intervals during the winter. but he
was unable to get away at all. Houser
has had big league experience and last
spring coached Colby's championship
nine. Those who have seen Houser
work with q team say that he Is an
good coach. Bowdoin men
have confidence in him.
