The U. of P. baseball nine will begin regular training on Feb. 9, under the direction of Roy A. Thomas, an old 'varsity player. The team will be materially weakened by the operation of a new rule, which prohibits from candidacy for the team all men who played on summer nines. It is certain that in consequence of this rule fully 75 per cent of last year's players and substitutes will be cut off. Only three of last year's men will be left. These men are Captain Blakely and outfielders Grau and Gorman. Willson, Brown and Stokes of former 'varsity nines are also eligible. A professional coach will direct the candidates for pitcher, but the rest of the coaching will be done entirely by graduates.
