...that the batting can be as hard as out of doors. A rope netting separates an alley for extra battery work. Ferguson of the Philadelphias is coaching the men, and a very heavy batting nine is looked for. King, '89, is pitching in fine form, as is also Mercur, '88; probably Ames, '90, or Young, '90, will catch. The nine will go on a trip during the Easter vacation, playing the Washingtons, Baltimores, Athletics and Cuban Giants, and will open the championship season by playing Yale on April...

Mercur, '88, will probably pitch, with King, '89, as change pitcher, though some think King will show up in better form than Mercur. Who will catch it is impossible to say, and Harvard is greatly envied in having two catchers such as Campbell and Henshaw. But of course it is much...
