N BRISK TRAINING

4 ~
Coach Billy Hay. OF the John Mar
shall high school baseball team has
had his squad out for practice every
now beginning 10 round into such
shape that he il able to get q pretty
fair line on the prospects. The en-
tire squad has shown from the be-
ginning that they were able to hit
the pill and Coach Hay has been de-
veloping the field work of the men.
The wedding out process has been
begun and the squad has narrowed
down until only few men are left for
each position.
From present indications the bat
terry work will be one of the main
stays Of the team. Harreilson, cap

al choice for the box because of his
experience. Hudson and Crouch
have also been showing up well and
the team will not lack for boxmen.
Behind the bat are Dudley. Dur
rett and BIankenship. All three OF
these have had experience and 1t ID
hard to choose between them.
Captain "Buii' Tod ~Nas not been
out to practice yet as basketball has
been taking up his time. He is also
o catcher and strong hitter.
There Is also wealth OF material
from which to choose the infleld. and
as all OF the men are showing UP
well In fielding the one with the best
stickwork probably will land the po-
sitior.
Ryder and Sharp are the most like
~ candidates for the initial sack.
Both are fast men and good hitters.
It is possible that sharp win be
changed to the outf1eld.

hood hold down a position this year.
