Base Ball on Jarvis.

About twenty candidates for the university nine came out on Jarvis yesterday afternoon, in response to Captain Frothingham's notice. The men were nearly all new and most of them have played on some of the interscholastic teams. The work was almost entirely confined to fielding and batting from the nets, and was not very satisfactory owing to the bad weather. The men will continue to practice on Jarvis whenever the weather permits. In addition the men will spend part of the time in the cage, sliding bases, etc.

Very little idea can be gotten, of the candidates as yet, very few of the old men being out. In the course of two or three weeks the work will be harder and about all of the old men will be at work.
