...problem that faces Coach Duffy, that of developing a strong pitching staff. Of the pitching candidates, none have shown extraordinary ability; no one man standing out above the others. S. H. Johnson, who has been in the pitcher's box for Team A in the practice games in the cage is perhaps the best of the boxmen, but is a trifle wild, and G. H. Brecker, who has been showing plenty of speed, has also experienced the same difficulty. Of the other men, Robinson, Washburn and Newton have the edge and any of these may develop into a first-string...

Only three hits were secured from Garritt, Loring and Dingwell, who pitched for Team A. heavy hitting was the order for the first team, however, Captain Abbot, Bond and Harte each having a good day at the bat. Harte's home run was the first...
...University baseball squad started on its fifth week of practice in the cage yesterday. Coach Duffy put the men through a sharp 30-minute batting and fielding practice, and then the nets were taken away for the regular practice game. Team A secured its sixth straight victory from Team B in a close five-inning game by a 3 to 2 score, the work of the pitchers featuring the contest. Phinney, playing at third base for Team A, was the heavy-hitter of the afternoon, securing two nice singles in his three trips to the plate. McLeod...
