Yesterday's game was marked by some fast fielding, very few misplays being made. Wyche was the star at bat, knocking out a single and a double, and Bond and Henderson continued their good hitting, each driving out a single. Coach Duffy gave the men an extra half-hours practice in batting after the game, emphasizing the importance of a quick swing and took his turn at the bat to illustrate his points. During the batting practice, Ellis, who has been playing in left field for Team A, was hit on the head by a ball thrown by Murray...

H. Gammach and W. G. Swigert have also been playing well...
With good men competing for every position, Coach Ball should easily turn out a fast infield. W. F. Manley is the leading candidate for first base, and has been covering this sack in fine form in the cage. T. S. Woods, although inexperienced, has been hitting the ball hard in practice, and G. E. Ladd has also been showing up well. At second base J. R. Wolverton appears to be the best man, and is a hard hitter. H. D.
