on the athletic field for the first
time this season and Coach Freddie
Parent sent his charges through a

men reported to the Blue and Gray
mentor and all were given some work
to do in the field with squads prac-
ticing batting. pitching and neiolng.
The ground was too damp 10 90

Parent kept the candidates ousy lor
two hours with little letup.
One Of the surprises of the after
noon was the appearance of Everett

dents of the college to see the relay
man working out in a baseball uni

would be one of the leadins relay
men who would enter the University

Dan Shanahan started the season
off in great style by sending nara

Bobby Fransen, MCGOWAN, Eager

Providing that the AK of inellg1bll-

in the season, the prospects for the
Blue and Gray team looks very
bright. Last season ineli5ibility rules
hit the Cobb team hard and took
two of the best candidates, Haines
and Peabody. Both of these men are
still ineligible for the team but may
be able to play with the seconds.
Coach Parent has decided TO rush
the work along and if Thursday IS
a good day with a little drier ground,
he will send his charges through
their second days workout in an ef-
fort to weed out some of the mater

of the better part of the squad. The
first cut is expected to come about

Waterville, April 10-Today the
entire squad of candidates for the
Waterville High school basebali
team will be out on the athletic field
for the second time this year. This
means very much work for Coach
Hendricks as he has only a short
time in which to round his men into
shape for the opening game. AS yet
the infield is all mud but there are
few dry spots in back of the catch-
er's box which will serve as a tenn
porary infield. There are SO many
candidates for the various POSITIONS
that it seems as II the nrst, cut WouIo

The coach has no worries over his

pink of condition. These men nave
been working out in the sym Tor
about three weeks. Just as soon as
the call. comes for them to get into
the box and steam them over they
will be able to do this without any
extra effort. So far the mentor has
not allowed the men, to throw any
hooks as the weather is such that
sore arm would be the result. There
are one or two cases of sore arms

BRENNAN HURlS
ONE HOT GAME FOR
GEORGETOWN TEAM

Washington. D. c., paper had the
following on recent date:
Don Brennan took the mound for the
Georgetown varsity against the Yam
nigans yesterday and turned in per-
Torrance that was as good as some
major leaguers. For seven frames
Brennan toiled, his twiSters battling
the Yannigan batters the entire route.
Plenty of curves, a change of pace, alb
solute control and a world of speed
was what the former Augusta, Maine,
high school player displayed.
When the seven innings had been
completed and O'Reilly called halt to
the activities. Brennan and the varsity
had beaten the Yannigans to 0. 1t
was not the particular showing of the
varsity that won the game but the su-
perb hurting of Mr.. Brennan. He gave
but one hit, and this was of scratch
variety. He walked two and forced al
most dozen to wifi the ozone.
While Brennan was showing the
Hilltop students with witnessed the
practice affair how to pitch. his team
mates were lamba sting Mccarthy on
the mound for the Yannisans all over
the lot. The four tallies they scored
could easily have been doubled, but in
structions from Coach O'Reilly on par
ticular plays prevented this.
Mccarthy. however. did not perform
so badly. taking all things in consider
alton. Several errors seemed to un-
steady him at times, and it was fol-
lowing these miscues that the varsity
started polling out number of hits,
singles, doubles and triples. Meow
an, the Yannigan receiver, perhaps was
partially responsible for Mccarthy
| unsteadiness. He seemed unable to
work him to advantage. and on numer-
Gus occasions gave him the wrong
signals.
Coach O'Reilly made his first cut in
his squad Yesterday. Twenty players
failed to make the grade. O'Reilly now
las % players out, the number he will
carry all season.
Federico and Murray were the only
two regulars not olt yesterday. They
will, however, be on tap today.

years." declared the Chinese visitor.
rem years ago the Chinese players
would finish tar down on the lists in
