From the very first, the number of men that turned out for the 1901 nine was smaller than that of recent years, as at no time was the number more than 40. Nevertheless, with the exception of the outfield, the material could hardly have been better. For the infield a number of men have shown up most promisingly, having displayed unusual capabilities both in fielding and batting. Of these, Robinson at third, Fincke at second, and Kendall at first seem to be the best. All are good fielders and strong hitters...

Sears is a fine fielder but is rather weak at the bat. He is the most promising candidate for a field position next to the three men above mentioned. In the infield Foster, Haughton and Lewis are doing...
