Contrary to the usual custom, the candidates for the Freshman baseball team will not remain in Cambridge during the vacation. Last year about 20 men were kept, and practice was held daily, a scrub game being played on the last day of the vacation. This year it has been found advisable not to keep the candidates, but all men have been urged to keep good training, and to play ball if possible. It is probable that a small cut will be made before the return of the candidates, and that about 30 men will be retained to form are squad for the harder training of the season.
