...Captain Stagg has twenty-three men in training for the University nine, six of whom were members of the '87 championship nine, and those who were substituted last year. The old men are Dann, Stagg, Spencer, McConkey, Noyes and Hunt, and McClintock, '90, Hayworth, '88, and Osborne, '88, S. Heyworth has pitched three years for his class team and played in the field in several 'Varsity games last year. He is a careful fielder and a hard but not very sure hitter. Osborne played behind the bat on his class nine and is probably the only man in college...

...base-ball captain has had the freshmen come out and practice, and what is the result? A pitcher has been found that promises to be superior to Stagg. Yale does not need a pitcher, Harvard does, but Harvard is waiting for the pitcher to come all developed. Yale is bringing out the raw material and developing it. In the Mott Haven team, Yale has been bringing out the strength of the freshman class and has already some good athletes who promise to help bring the cup if Harvard does not arise and work. Nothing comes without work, so either...
