Forty-five men came out for fall baseball practice on Soldiers Field yesterday. The squad was divided into four teams, two of which played a four-inning game during the first part of the afternoon. The other two nines were then put in for the remainder of the practice period. As most of the players have had little experience, the play was naturally ragged. The batteries of the teams were,-Clarkson and Thayer, Dudley and Manning, Frothingham and Jaques, Reid and Marean.
For practice the squad has been divided into two sections, which will play regularly on the following days:
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays: Foster, Frothingham, Murphy, Thayer, Leonard, R. Rivers, Vose, Somers, Stewart, Lewis, Rich, Dudley, Lancy, Carr, Putnam, Pieper, Ware, Manning, Fox, Gilky, Greely, H. Rivers, Blatterman.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: Nye, Fischel, Purdy, Marean, Gillis, Fitzpatrick, Pierce, Souther, Stevens, Peacock, Jackson, Adler, Chase, Jaques, Field, Wise, Batten, Coonley, Dana, Cutter, Haigh, Campbell.
Just before the fall work terminates two teams will be picked, one from each squad, and a series of five games played between them. This, it is hoped, will keep up individual effort.
