Forty-two men reported on Tuesday of last week in response to the call issued by Captain Bowman for candidates for battery positions on the university baseball team, and at the same time fifty-seven candidates reported for infield and outfield positions on the freshman nine. Indoor practice for all candidates is now being held in the cage and will continue until the weather permits outdoor work...
...prospects for a successful nine at Princeton this year are darkened by the loss through graduation of the heavy bating outfield of last years team. Of the 1904 championship team Captain Wells, Byram and Reid are still in the university. All three are excellent fielders, but with the exception of Wells, are only medicore batsmen.

The position of catcher and second baseman had to be filled, and practically the whole outfield developed. Every man who intends to come out for the nine next year must see to it that his conduct this summer is irreproachable in regard to the breaking of eligibility rules. If this is done, much trouble which was caused this year will be prevented. Promising material had to be dropped on account of ineligibility several times during the season...
...Smith '06, fielder, of Chicago, Ill., prepared at the Hill school, where he played in the outfield. Last year he played on the freshman team and was taken on the university squad during the latter part of the season. Age 18 years, weight 167 pounds, height 5 feet 11 inches...
