NEWARK, March 14.-Deiaware
College baseball candidates had their
first workout Of the season on the
diamond yesterday afternoon The
practice last week was on the foot
ball field. Captain zoe Rothrook
was IN charge OF the squad yester-
day. Coach Shipley who has a slight
touch OF the grip was on the Geld for
a short time but delegated Rothrook
20 take charge OF practice. The dis-
mond is still rather soft bus clear
weather for few days will put Il IN
good shape.
The squad was divided into two
teams and went through with six or
seven innings OF practice 20 give the
pitchers a workout. All the pitch
ing candidates we're given a short
time in the box on one team or the
other. This included Hoffecker.
Lund. CARL. Baynunn, Magaw, Col
lins and Rothrock. Magaw seemed
TO be IN better shape than any Of
the others and put a little speed on
the ball but none OF the twirlers
made an attempt 20 use curves. The
southpaws, Collins. Rothrock and
Caril took no chances Of using speed.
'Dick" Hoch, a Freshman from
Woodside did the catching on the
varsity team while the pitchers on
this team were Baynum, Magaw and
Collins. Hooh looks fairly good back
OF the bat and should make a valu-
able man with more experience. Two
Of the candidates for back OF the bat
were used in the outfield on the var
sity, Nutter IN right and Jackson in
left. Ted" Dantz looked after the
centre garden. Both Nutter and
Jackson are good hitters and Il is
possible that Coach shipley will give
them a chance to make the outheld
for their hitting.
Mcdonald. last years varsity
first baseman was called home on ac-
count OF illness IN his family yester-
day and was not out for .practc'
Manning covered first the first IN
ming on the varsity but after thai
zap, the Chinese, was moved from
third to hrst and Manning placed OF
the scrubs. Mccormick after thi
change was moved from the scrub
10 the varsity and covered shor
while Challenger who played shor
the first inning went to third. 'Skeet'
Wilson was at second. None OF tn
players exerted themselves under in
structions but It looked like a prett
nifty infeld. Yap did not have mucl
TO do but handles himself well.
Mccormick looks 10 be about tn
best Of the Freshmen felders VIII

himself like a veteran both in tn
field and at tho bat. Challenge

interesting battle for shortstop unit
