The baseball season at the University took a forward step yesterday when both University and Freshman teams lined up for the first time this season in two three-inning games. Each nine played its respective second team. In spite of the difficulties which the cage presents, both engagements were fast, and the batting ability which the majority of the men displayed was unusual for so early a date.

Team A in both cases defeated Team B, the University winning 2 to 1, and the 1921 aggregation 3 to 1. T. H. Gammack '20 and C. F. Havemeyer '21 both showed up well behind the bat, while R. E. Gross '19 and J. B. Wolverton '20 at shortstop and second base for the University nine fielded in good style.

The teams lined up in the following order:

University A.--Newton, Peterson, p.; Zach, c.; Jones, 1b.; Wolverton, 2b.; Hallowell, 3b.; Gross, s.s.; McCouch, c.f.; Warren, l.f.; Coolidge, r.f. University B.--Erb, Mosely, p.; Gammack, c.; McLeod, 1b.; Dixon, 2b.; Fischer, Lee, 3b.; Fechheimer, Thorndike, s.s.; Morse, l.f.; Hill, Robinson, c.f.; Stoyer, r.f.

Freshman A.--Butterfield, p.; Havemeyer, c.; Holmes, 1b.; Frothingham, 2b.; Lee, 3b.; Dorr, s.s.; Cathcart, l.f.; Pratt, c.f.; Taggard, l.f. Freshman B.--Hardell, p.; Blair, c.; Baldwin, 1b.; Ryan, 2b.; Meehan, 3b.; Lowell, s.s.; Davis, l.f.; Chambers, c.f.; Morse, r.f.

As Captain W. W. McLeod '19 of the University nine has been ordered to report at the Army Aviation Camp at Princeton on March 16, the University team will be without the services of its most experienced player in the coming season. McLeod played second base on his Freshman nine two years ago, and last fall caught for the informal University team. McLeod prepared at Malden High School, where he played for several seasons on the school team.
