1919 FACES MORRIS HEIGHTS

Freshman Nine Has Won Four Games and Lost Four.--Leighton in the Box for Yearlings.

The Freshman nine will line up against Morris Heights on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Leighton will probably go into the box for 1919 with Fuller behind the bat. Today's game is the last one for the Freshmen before the final conflict of the season with Yale at New Haven next Tuesday. The Morris Heights nine was defeated early in the season by the University second team 6 to 4, and was also beaten by Worcester Academy 8 to 6, so the first year team, which has been improving steadily, should be able to win this afternoon. The Freshmen have won four games and lost four this season. Captain Casey and Bond in the outfield are both playing good ball and are hitting extremely well. Kerr at shortstop, who has also been putting up a heady game, may not be able to play because of an injury to his finger. In this case, McLeod will probably take short and Hubbard second.

The team will line up as follows: McLeod, 2b.; Casey, c.f.; Bond. r.f.; Fuller, c.; Gross, l.f.; Sears, 1b.; Kerr, s.s.; Burrill, 3b.; Leighton, p.
