The University baseball squad was given batting practice, for the last time under Keeler's coaching, in the cage on Saturday afternoon. The work was disappointing--the men still showing a tendency to step away from the ball, to use their bodies too little in swinging, and to strike at wide balls. The outfielders practiced for a short while out of doors, and the infielders were given practice in stopping grounders in the cage. It is expected that today the ground will be in condition to permit practice for the whole squad, and hereafter, as far as possible, the regular work will be held out-of-doors.
The Freshman squad, now numbering 30 men, practiced batting and basesliding in the cage under the coaching of N. S. Bartlett '03, J. S. Lovering '03, and Keeler. Outdoor practice for the squad will be held this week.
Keeler has gone South to join the New York American League team; Chesbro is still with the University squad.
