The outlook for the Cony High base
ball team this year depends in great
, part upon the showing Of the battery
| candidates. according to present ind-
cations. The remainder of the field
seems to be covered in fine style, and
with good battery men Cony High
should come through strong this sea-
son.
Decide" Mcdonald. Haskell and
Fletcher are after the catchers berth
and they are all showing up well.
Fletcher. although light for the posi-
ton, seems to have good arm and
to be able to work fast in a pinch.
The others, however. are giving him
plenty of competition and Mcdonald
should show plenty of quick thinking,
judging from his work as hockey
goalie the past winter.
Babe Lapidus shows up we'll in the
box, and Plummer, who is a southpaw,
Burns and Bob Hayden are also being
watched by Coach Morrell, as they
give promise of developing well.
The infield locks particularly good

fine and is practically assured of a
position on the first sack. Tiny over.
lock it hitting we'll and is a good pos
sibility for second, while Stiles and
Nickless are fighting hard for posi-
ton at the hot corner. In the short
garden Capt. "Honl1" Webb is working
especially well and he is expected to
make a name for himself in that po-
sition.
There is plenty of good material for
the outfit and who will make the po-
sitions is yet a matter of conjecture.
In any case they will be coed. as
Coach Morrell Is taking his time about
choosing and all are getting chance
to show their wares.
Practice has been held for two or
three weeks now, and Coach Morrell
has been particular to work them IN
slowly so that there would be no loss
from bad arms. The battery men have
been taken one day, then the infielders
and finally the outfielders, SO that they
have all had some good coaching In

Of this week or the first Of next.
