...members of the University who wish to get healthy outdoor exercise are urged to join the Weld Boat Club. So few men have joined this spring that no one need feel that he will not be able at any hour of the day to get a single, a wherry or a canoe. The membership fee of $5 is very low indeed as compared with the fee of other clubs. For example, the Union Boat Club, whose equipment is greatly inferior to the Weld, charges $25 a year. Men may join and obtain shingles of the janitor between the hours...

Although having had practically no outdoor practice the team made an excellent showing against the strong southern clubs which always have the advantage of an earlier season. The work of the new men was very gratifying and gives promise that the places left vacant by the graduation of so many of last year's players will be capably filled during the present season. Bartlett '99, a candidate for the position of catcher, was tried at shortstop throughout...

The first game will be played with the Hampton School at Hampton, Va., next Friday, April 3. The remaining games are: On Saturday and Monday, the University of Virginia; Tuesday, University of North Carolina; Wednesday, Georgetown University...
Yesterday the freshman baseball candidates practiced stopping grounders, sliding, and starting in the cage as usual. The outfielders were also given a little practice at catching flies outside. Weather permitting the squad will take their first outdoor practice either today or tomorrow, on Soldiers Field. The squad has not been much diminished as yet, but will probably be cut down soon after the out-door practice begins, when a temporary captain will be elected...
