Which to Select 1921
Team
SQUAD A WINS
TRY-OUT GAME

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Mar. 14.-Coach Ship !
ley got a good slant on his new base
ball material Saturday afternoon
when the Squad A, team made up
largely OF last years varsity defeat
ed Squad y, in a seven inning game
by the score OF Z to Q. The fea-
ture Of the game was the pitching OF
"Joe" Rothrock, shipley's Ace.
The star southpaw was sent IN the
box for Squad b, for the first three
innings and held last years vets"
soreless and did not allow a hit
Magaw and Brandt followed Roth
rock and the Squad A boys man
aged TO collect seven runs of the
next four innings. Ramsey. Col
Inns and CARL worked for Squad A.
Coach shipley has been taken the
pitching candidates along slow tol
date and this is especially true OF
Rothrock and CARL, Rothrock looks
better than ever when he lets out
but he will not be worked hard un-
IN a little later Magaw a former
Wilmington high hoy looks better
than last year in the few times that
he has been in the box There are
three new pitching candidates on the
team who are showing up fairly
we'll This is especially true OF
Collins a southpaw who halls from
Milford. Collins was IN college last
year but was not eligible TO play.
Ramsey a right handler who former
~ pitched good ball for Newark
high and Grubb formerly with VIII
mington high are the other two can
: didates
Il is the intention Of Coach Ship
ley to not start wedding out until
q during the Easter holidays. A
game between teams made up from
the two squads vii be part of the
. practice each afternoon this week
and by that time Shipley expects TO
be able to pick the squad from
which the varsity will come and this
squad will have TO remain here dur
ing the Easter holidays TO get in
shape for the opening game on
April /, with Holy Cross here. The
Coach Saturday afternoon also spent
half an hour instructing the candi-
dates in base running.
One OF the hardest propositions
facing the coach ls the picking OF a
varsity catcher. owing to the fact
that Gray Carter the star OF the past
two seasons will not likely be able
TO get in the game because Of an in
jury to his back. "phil" Marvel,
who captained and played right
field on last years team has donned
the mask this year and To date looks
fairly goo0. Marvel caught in some
games down the state last summer
ana came out for that position this
spring. spaid and Nutter OF last
years squad are also out for catcher
All three OF these boys look to be
above the average but Il is no renec-
tion on their ability to say they are
not in Carriers class who last year
was probably the best catcher ir
college ranks.
First base is another position that
will have to be filled this year owing
TO the graduation OF "Bees" Cartel
last year. Mcdonald formerly ol
Wenonah Military Academy W h ,
was a sensation Ia the hackheld on
the football team for several Eamel
last fan looks like the most likel,
candidate. Mcdonald has cunHid
orable to learn az 10 fielding thu
noeition but he can whale the bal
some and II he succeeds In doini
that i'm games other faults can bi
overlooked until corrected. Nc
Donald is a left-hand hitter and hai
been slugging them In practice. Th'
other two candidates FOR first basl
are walsh and Terrill who are als'
both freshmen.
10 looks fairly certain that "Skeet
Wilson who understudied McCarde
last year will cover second ana Tn
der,yood one OF the best shortstop
that any college has been fortunate
enough to land will no doubt b'
found IN that position.
Jimmy Robbins will have to hus
tie some TO hold down third base
Jimmy played a good fielding gam
last wear but his hitting was weak
challenger a junior who is out TO
baseball for the first time look
good around the third base cornei
Ieamy a Philadelphia boy and lvor
Of Camden, ~ j., are also trying 70
third.
There seems to be considerabl
material for the outfeld this yea
and some offensive strength In 4
Captain Donoho will again mol
down left field Madden who ma
played centre FOR several years be
cause of sickness has not been ot
but will likely report this Afternoon
George viii have 20 hustle some mo-
TO land his old berth. Dantz' sui
stitute outhelder for two year
Deppe, Murray formerly Of Win
ington high, Mendenhall OF Geore
| school and Banum. Of Milford ar
other outfeld candidates who an
looking good and an Of them seei
fairly good stickers.
Last years graduating class mao

DAYS ago the 1921 class held NEE
ing and decided to give sufhciel
money for another dug-out whie
