Colby Squad Stages
Suggest in Stiff
Practice Saturday

Colby baseball tossels passed long
and cold Saturday afternoon on
Seayerns field in a drizzling rain
making a final try before the cut in
the squad that will come the first Of
the week. There were over so men
out and everyone of them except a
few of the pitchers had try out. 1t
was cold and the pitchers did not get
warmed up good SO the smuggling was
pretty free and two base hits were
common. The diamond was rather
sticky and the fielding was a bit I'M
certain and many Of the base hits
would have been easy catches under
good conditions. Fransen met one
and sent it over the track until it
rolled up against Shannon Observa-
tory. Jimmie Wilson lifted the
sphere over center field for three
bases which was the longest hit of
the afternoon. The first game is only
three days away and the practicing
will be pretty stiff for the men who
make the squad from now on. There
is quite little deadwood that has
got to be removed in order that Coach
Parent can get the real ball players
in good shape. 1t is possible that
Bob Thompson will start the game be-
hind the bat with Johnnie Lampher in
the field. They are both pretty good
hitters and may be worked in that
way. Johnnie did some good work
last year in the field and he has been
the star catcher for Colby for the past
two seasons. Nichols ha been forced
to give up the game for this season
so it is more than likely that Niles
will start in the shortfield. Franse,,
and Millett are both ocking good at
second and probably both will get a
chance in the Maine game. Arthur
Sullivan was first string third base
man two years ago and he will prob
ably do his share in holding down the
bag this spring.
