...same general practice in rudimentary work has been given the University baseball squad during the past week as formerly. In addition to the regular batting and fielding work, practice has been given in bunting and base-slidding. The batting has continued promising in spite of an increase of speed by the pitchers, but the bunting is crude. Next week the pitchers will begin to use curves, and it is hoped that with the reduced squad simple pivot plays and catching men between bases can be commenced...
...country other than New England. This article is admirably supplemented by an account of the Associated Harvard Clubs, the great Harvard organization of the West, by their president, R. G. Brown '84. Both writers point out the need and possibilities of work for Harvard in the West; both base their statements on the fact that Harvard's influence is in danger of becoming localized...

Jones and Wylie, catchers; Camp, second base; Madden, left field; Meyer, Parsons, and Pratt, pitchers. Four men have been lost by graduation: Obrien, shortstop; Jackson, first base; Smith and Huiskamp, fielders. These positions can be satisfactorily filled by last year's substitutes. The burden of the pitching will probably fall upon Meyer and Parsons, who should be very effective this year with the added experience of last season. An unusually hard schedule...
