Since the men were called out in February, practice has been held in the Cage regularly, until about two weeks ago, when the squad went out doors for the first time. The men have shown steady improvement, and play a good game in the field for so early in the season, although the batting still continues rather weak. The pitches are developing, but with warmer weather should advance more rapidly...
...past week has been too cold for good practice, except on Wednesday, when a nine-inning game was played. Both teams were fast in the field and played errorless ball, but at bat only secured nine hits. The coming games should operate in strengthening the team in the latter department...

No such book should appear without a good...
