BASEBALL AT ANNAPOLIS

Team Practiced in Rain, Making Fielding Difficult.--Games Next Week.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 12.--The University baseball team arrived her on the Federal Express this morning at 11 o'clock. A fine rain was falling in the afternoon; but the team dressed in the Naval Academy Gymnasium and had outdoor fielding and batting practice. The ground and ball were very slippery, which caused several errors; but the fielding on the whole was good and the batting hard. Brennan and Hartford did the pitching.

There will be a gun drill on the field tomorrow morning and consequently the team will have early practice. The Annapolis baseball team will play Lafayette tomorrow afternoon, and the men will watch the game, after which they will get in another hour's practice.
