Coach Mahan put his baseball candidates through their most rigorous practice of the season thus far with a six inning practice game between Teams A and B of the first squad yesterday afternoon. The division of the squad into two teams was evidently made with no preference to merit as Team B shut out the A Team by a 4-0 score. Hitting was scattered by both nines, all the scoring being limited to two innings.
In spite of the rumor that Captain Hammond's shift to first base in the last practice encounter with the seconds would be a permanent change, he was back at his old position at second yesterday and from all appearances will probably stay there through the season.
R. W. Puffer '26 and A. D. Hoffman '25 made up the battery for the losing Team A. while J. E. Toulmin '25 and J. J. Maher '26 did the honors for the victorious nine. Toulmin was in fine form allowing only a few sprinkled hits and never filling the bases, while Puffer gave way to the opposing batters only in the first inning, when he let in one run, and in the third when Allen's hit brought in a full house.
