The best looking squad OF. candidates
for positions on the Whitcomh high
school baseball team which has yet as
sembled this season was out for prac-
tice under the direction OF Coach Ray
mond Elmer yesterday afternoon. High
hopes are entertained that creditable
team can be developed. The lack of
reliable pitcher, which seemed to
threaten the prospective team. may be
overcome before the season opens Eu-
gene Fisher now looks good for first
string position in the box and very
likely others will show up. Kenneth
Hickey, whose work last year behind
the bat was so much admired. is ex-
pected to repeat. He also is the best
hitter of the team. Gordon Batchelder
looked good at first base. The boys
fumbled somewhat in the other infeld
positions, as was to be expected so
early in the practice season.
