Freshman Nine.

About 25 men are in regular training for the freshman nine now. The practice consists in stopping grounders and sliding bases in the cage, then light dumbbell exercise and a short run. Many of the men are very good on grounders, but few seem to know anything about sliding. The ground in the cage has been softened and evened and is in much better condition than it was at first. The candidates for the battery are doing work under C. Downer, L. S., and are fully equal to the average freshman batteries. On the whole there is a prospect for a very good nine.
