Newark, March l&.--D.laware Col |
lege baseball candidates had their first |
workout of tho season on the diamond |
yesterday afternoon. Tho practice
last week was ON tho football field.
Captain Joe" Rothrock was in charge
OF the squad yesterday. Coach Ship
ley. who has n slight touch OF the grip
was on tho fiold for n short time. but
delegated Rothroclt to take charge of
practice. The diamond In still rather
soft, but clear weather for few days
will put u IN good shape.
The squad was divided into two
| teams and went through with ak or
seven innings of practice 10 give the
| pitchers workout. All tho pitching
candidates were given n short time In
the box on ono team or the other.
This included Hofrccker. Lund. Carl,
| Baynum. Mnaaw. Collins and Roth
rock. Magaw seemed TO be In better
shape than any of the others and Pot
| a little speed on the bali, but none of
the twirlors made an attempt 10 use
curves. Tho southpaws. Collins. Roth
rock and CARL took no chances of
using speed.
Dick" lloch. freshman from
| Woodside did the catching on the
Varsity team, while the pitchers on
this team were Baynum. Magaw and
Collins. Hoch looks fairly good back
of the bat and should make valuable
man with more experience. Two Of
the candidates for back OF the bat
were used In the outnold on the
Varsity. Nutter In right and Jack
son I'm left Ted" DANTE looked after
the centre garden. Both Nutter and
Jackson are good hitters and Il is
possible that Coach Shipley will give
them chance 10 make the outfield
for their hitting.
Mcdonald. last years Varsity FIRST
baseman was called home on account
OF illness I'm his family yesterday, and
was not out for practice. Manning
covered FIRST the first inning on the
Varsity, but after that zap the Chi
nese was moved from third TO first
ana Manning placed on the scrubs.
Mccormick. after this change was
moved from the scrubs 10 the Varsity
and covered short. while Challenger,
lwho played short the first inning, went
Ito third "Skept" Wilson was at ae,f-
lond None OF the players exerted
themselves. under instructions, hut #
looked like a pretty nifty infleld. zap
did not have much 60 do, but handles
himself well. Mccormick looks to
be about the best of the freshmen
feeders who has been out to date. Nc
! Cormick' comes from New Jersey and
handles himself like a veteran both
10
shows up strong In the field. and he
= and Mccormick promise to have an
interesting battle for shortstop until
Mike" Underwood. who In now III
gets in shape 10 play ball.

: was back OF the bat for the scrubs
T This is the first time In his thre,
I years at college that Jack" has com,
