Following are the names of the candidates with the position for which each is trying: For catcher Wallridge, last year's regular catcher. and Allen...
Though Wallridge will without doubt be the regular catcher again this year, Allen should at least be retained as change catcher, for he is remarkably quick and is a good batter. Here and Sexton are candidates for pitcher, of which the former will probably be the successful man. Pope is the only candidate for first base and is a good man there, though it was hoped that he would occupy his old position as shortstop, but owing to an injured knee the captain thought it safer to place him where there is less chance for a renewal of the injury...
...McClintock, '90, McBride, '90, S., and Calhoun, '91. These men will probably hold their same positions and Dalzell, '91, substitute on last year's team, will undoubtedly pitch. The other candidates have had more or less experiance upon their class nines and those of preparatory schools. For catcher Poole, '91, is the most promising candidate; McClung, '92, and Heffelfinger, '91, S., for pitcher; Traver, '89, S., Graves, '91, Cushing, '91, Harvey, and Day, '89, S. for short-stop; for the out-field, N. McClintock, '91, W. McClintock, '91, Stokes, '89, and Parker...
...bright. Her main stay will be in Stearns who played such a magnificent game all last season and who can be depended on to do work as good, if not better, this spring. Uptown will in all probability catch him. He was short-stop and change catcher on the nine last year, and is a good all around player. Mowry who was in the field last year will probably cover first base, Anderson second, and Brown, third. Owsley, who captained the Princeton preparatory school team, is trying for short-stop, while there are a number of candidates for the field...
...Exeter, there are about three batteries in training. Flagg, the captain of the team, will probably be catcher. His throwing to bases is rather poor, but he is a good catcher, and has played in the in-field on the Exeter nine for two years. Hoyt and Day are the most promising candidates for pitcher. Hoyt pitched a good game against Andover last year, and Day also proved himself competent to fill the box. Heffelfinger stands a good chance for first base, and Trafford for second. The candidates for the team are playing hand-ball a great deal, but they...
