All the candidates for the University baseball team were given batting practice yesterday in the cage, and afterwards the outfielders were practiced in catching fly balls on the field and the infielders in stopping grounders and in running bases in the cage. B. Wendell '02 generally supervised the work, and Chesbro coached the pitchers. In the batting no marked improvement was noticeable, and the high wind blowing across the field made the outfielders uncertain of their catches. The play of the infielders was very fast, though at times inaccurate.
The Freshman squad practiced in the cage. Following batting practice, the men were drilled in fielding grounders and in running men down between bases. The batting work was better than usual, but the rest of the practice showed little improvement. N. S. Bartlett '03, coached the squad.
