Building for Future.
With the idea of building for the
future, Orrel Mitchell, Gonzaga coach,
recently has been giving his sophomore
and freshman players as much work
as possible. Only one regular, Eddie
Donohoe, left fielder, who has not been
playing recently, will be lost by grad
uation and Mitchell expects much bet
ter things for the Gonzaga diamonders
in 1882. Three reserves also will be
missing in George Gingras, first base
man; Tom Lynch, infielder and out
fielder, and Lawrence Hartnett, out
fielder, but little difficulty is foreseen
In filling their shoes.
Prominent among those listed to re-
turn to school are Francis Clary, lead
ing pitcher this season; Raymond
Grace, clever third sacker, and Garlic
Mills, hard-hitting catcher.
Others upon whom Mitchell will be
counting include Ed Quigley, catcher;
Davey James and Gessford, the latter
freshman. pitchers; Tommy Nolan,
first baseman, who also can pitch:
Dickie Fitzgerald, second baseman; Joe
Miller, shortstop: Joe Mulcare, left
fielder; Ed Benjamin, center fielder,
and Dick Hall, right fielder.
