Coach Slattery has decided to use Brown in the box with Cheek behind the bat. The erratic southpaw was a big disappointment in the Dartmouth game, Wednesday, but Coach Slattery still banks upon him heavily for service in the Yale series and he believes that a hard workout today will put him in first class condition. Cheek's throwing to bases and all around aggressive play Wednesday have given him the call to start today, but it is still a problem who will don the mask and protector against Yale.

The Second team was represented yesterday by Captain Rice who played at third base, Field...
Brown is slated to be Coach Slattery's starting pitcher. The erratic southpaw has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Spalding and Toulmin for the past three weeks, but it is a matter of common knowledge that he has a better assortment of pitching tricks than any other man on the squad. At his best, he is almost invincible. Wildness was his early season drawback, and. Coach Slattery has been concentrating on this weakness with the result that Brown's control was excellent in a practice set to with the Freshmen last week...
