Princeton Baseball Team.

The Princetonian has the following criticism of the Princeton baseball men: Trenchard has shown a marked improvement in batting, while his work behind the bat has been very encouraging. Williams the other candidate for catcher is a good back-stop, throws hard and accurately, but so far has been weak at the bat. The pitchers are Forsyth, Altman, Bradley and Hitzrot. They all have speed and fairly good control. Bradley has been playing well in the field, but has not pitched any owing to a lame arm. The showing made by the others has been about equal. Otto, the first baseman, has shown great improvement in batting, while his fielding is very sure. King at second is strong on thrown balls and covers a large amount of ground. Brooks and P. Ward are making a good fight for short-stop. Gunster at third is playing much the same as he did last year. W. D. Ward has been tried at first and third bases and in the field. He is very steady and is a good all round man. Payne is not batting as well as last year, but otherwise is playing a good game. Mackenzie is putting up a very good all round game, and coaches the team well. Small was given a trial in the outfield in the game with Columbia and did well.
