VETERANS ARE OUT /
FOR WESTERN NINE.
Coach Bryan Morse Pleased
With Prospects for Base
Ball and Track.
BY H. C. BYRD.

Western High School has back for
base ball this spring practically its en-
tire nine of 1918. The Red and White
seems TO be in better shape to begin
the diamond season than at any previ-
Gus time since Bryan Morse has been
in charge of sports. Incidentally, the
coach has expressed himself as being
well pleased with the outlook for both
base ball and track.
From last years nine Western has
its battery, third baseman, shortstop
and first baseman and three outhelders,
leaving only second base to be nlied-
John Quinn, former Boston Latin
School pitcher, is due to do the hurting
again, and Mason Reed the catching.
LOCKER, a freshman catcher, also ap-
pears to be better than the ordinary
receiver. Cothran Graves. Walter
Nordlinger and Everett Burke are pret
ty sure to win their old positions at
third base, Shortstop and first base
Conard, Wight and Stevens are the out
fielders. The last mentioned IS a
brother of the Stevens who played
shortstop for Western three years ago.
Several new men are almost certain
to do fine work for the Georgetown
school, Harry Dawson, third baseman
at st. Adams last season, is q gooo
the Niagara High School. is a better de-
yeloped player than most members or
schoia site mines. Bill Collom, lett
hand twirler from Charlotte Hal! ochooi
last season, has shown consIderaoie
ability Myers, Smoot, Jeffress, Atkin-
son, members of last seasons freshman
aggregation, seem to be good enough
now to give the other players hafd
fight for positions.
athletics this spring at Western,
says Coach Morse, seem to have nnueh
better prospects than usual OF course,
we will be handicapped by having 10
use base ball men in track sports and
thus be prevented getting the maximum
development for either. However, we
actually have better and more material
for both sports than usual, and unless
something happens to upset plans, see
no reason why we should not look for-
ward to the track and base ball seasons
with considerable optimism
