...invite all students who are in any degree moved to this kind of interest, to meet informally at my house on Wednesday evening next, March 20, at 7.30 P. M. We shall then talk over a plan which seems to promise usefulness both to the college and to the poor, without demanding from any one more time than he can easily give.

His throwing to bases is rather poor, but he is a good catcher, and has played in the in-field on the Exeter nine for two years. Hoyt and Day are the most promising candidates for pitcher. Hoyt pitched a good game against Andover last year, and Day also proved himself competent to fill the box. Heffelfinger stands a good chance for first base, and Trafford for second. The candidates for the team are playing hand-ball a great deal, but they...
