Martin Collins, a junior, was
elected captain of the 1919 Angus
tana baseball team at meeting OF
the baseball candidates at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. The choice was
made on the first ballot.
Collins is a baseball letter man
and played a clever and heady game
for Augie at Sd base last year. He
is an all around athlete, winning a
letter in football last fall, but
shows his best form on the diamond.
Clarence Bloomberg, veteran
Augie ball player and pitcher of
the team for many years was
chosen baseball coach by the ath-
Ietic board of control. He will start
team training Immediately and has
already put the candidates for the
pitchers berth through a hard
grilling.
Two Other Candidates.
Clarence Samuelson and Ralph
Bengston were other candidates for
the captaincy of the nine. Both men
are experienced in collegiate base
ball. Collins will aid and cooperate
with Coach Blomberg in training
and picking the Augustana nine.
The condition of the diamond does
not as yet permit practice and work
has been confined to the college
gymnasium.
