Yesterday afternoon the candidates for the baseball team were divided into two nines and played a regular game until it became too dark to see. This was the last practice of the year unless the weather should prove particularly favorable next week.

During the game the playing of both sides was rather loose, but was on the whole as good as could be expected. None of the pitchers have done much work this fall, and consequently did not exert themselves much. The batting of the first nien was very heavy, while that of the second was decidedly weak.

The two teams were made up as follows:

FIRST NINE. SECOND NINE.

Fitz, p. p., Jenney, Daly.

Morton, c. c., Slade.

Stearns, 1b. 1b, Nowell.

Dean, 2b. 2b., Kernan.

Hayes, 3b. 3b., Foster, Gergory.

McVey, s. s., Chandler.

Rand, l. f. l. f., McCall.

Lynch, c. f. c. f., Kimball, Nichols.

Burgess, r. f. r. f, Sears.
