...customary work in the cage, consisting of batting, sliding to bases and hand-ball, has been kept up with regularity since Christmas. The men are unusually proficient in sliding, the patent apparatus of Captain Stagg being of especial benefit. Yale men place the greatest hope in their battery, for which they have several men in training in addition to Stagg and Dann.
