Yesterday afternoon a change was made in the recent make-up of the infield. Clark, who has been playing first base, was put on third and McCornick, last year's Freshman pitcher, was tried at first. McCornick did some good throwing and proved to be a fair man on receiving thrown balls, although he is clearly inexperienced in playing the position. Clark seems to be improving in his throw, getting it off in better style than he did some time ago. His fielding was clean and fast...
...ground floor of the cage will be large enough to permit the regular throw from the home plate to second and base running. Needless to say, it is a great improvement over the old cage, which was so small that the men were greatly hampered in base running and batting and even in fielding grounders.

...cage will be large enough to permit of throw from home plate to second and to give practice in base running. It will be 150 feet long by 60 wide and 30 hight in the centre. The frame will be entirely of steel filled in with bricks to a distance of five feet above the ground, the remainder being plastered on the outside and sheathed within. Netting will be hung at a distance of eighteen inches from the wall on the inside. In winter the cage will not only accommodate the baseball candidates but will also serve for the cricket...
...strong and aggressive game, but one not entirely safe on the defensive. Doucette has his own way of playing and does much to vindicate it. He is steady, knows the game, and plays it for all it is worth. He is always on the ball and helps to throw his opponent for a loss. He will have a good man against him in Cadwalader. Burden plays aggressively, but not always safely, and needs steadying in good passing of the ball...
...hammer throw was postponed to this afternoon...
