Coach Jack Gallagher issued the first call for baseball candidates at the Vest erly High School Friday afternoon. About thirty aspirants met with the coach to talk over the possibilities for the coming season. The outlook is not especially bright, for. there seems to be no pitcher that can fiji the shoes of Bar Der. last years star twifler. Maine, with out doubt the best catcher in interschol- astic circles may be counted to ably hold down the receiving position. and Bosworth looks like the logical choice for the initial sack. Captain Grills will play his third year at the keystone cush- ion, and Lenihan. last years shortstop, will again fill that position. The hot corner will be a bone of contention, and the rookis5 will also have a good chance to supplant last years ouler gardeners, which trio was far from a finished set of outfelders. It is planned to have the first outdoor practice March [, ifnmedi- ately after the spring vacation.
