Behind the plate the team will be much better off, however, with a number of experienced men competing for this battery position. R. A. Lancaster, who has been showing great form in the early practice, is the leading candidate for catcher. He is a hard hitter, a steady man behind the plate, and possesses a good throwing arm. A. Aspinwall is also a good catcher and, while not as fast as Lancaster, may push him hard for his position. T. H. Gammach and W. G. Swigert have also been playing well...
...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. Ward has been playing regularly on Team B at second and will be a strong contender for this position. R. W. Emmons at shortstop has been fielding brilliantly and should make sure of his place on the team by a slight improvement in batting. S. Osgood is another...
...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 hit out a double for Team B and singles were made by Casey, Knowles, Harte, Abbot, and Bothfeld for the first team, and Fraser, Bond, Ames and Gross for the second team. The lineup follows...
...fast and heady infield. The latter two men, however, will be forced to work hard to retain their old positions, as J. H. Enwright '19 is now in good standing with the Office, and will make a great bid for an infield position as he is a heavy hitter although apt to slip up occasionally in his fielding. C. S. Reed '17 will continue his last year's contest with Bothfeld over the shortstop position, with little to choose between the two men. The big gap in the infield is at first base, left vacant by the graduation of former...
...condition in the outfield is much the same as it is in the infield in that one regular has been lost. By the graduation of F. P. Coolidge '16 the team lost a fast fielder and a hard hitter and it will not be easy to fill his place. G. A. Percy '18, who broke up more than one game last year by his timely extra-base hits, and J. Knowles '18, regulars on last year's team, can fill any position in the outfield. E. L. Casey '19, captain of last year's Freshman team, and C. Wyche...
