Baseball The major league ball clubs may have ad- vantage of the smaller clubs by reason of their southern training trips, but they are not much ahead of C. H. S. Although our base- ball club did not take a southern trip to get into condition, yet along in the middle of win- ter certain members could be seen getting their batting eye into condition on the Y. M. C. A. billiard table. QVV'ithout a doubt, it is ad- vantageous to read newspaper dope. j The disappointment which was our lot last season must have inspired the candidates with a determination to show every one that Can- ton High really did possess the kind of peo- ple who can do things and do them well, and certainly the manner in which practice started and progressed made this point clear. A great portion of credit is due to the energetic cap- tain who was elected by the members of last year's team. It is always the best policy to practice what you preach and in this respect it can not be said that the leader of the team Five men of last year's team returned this season, while the remainder of the team was made up of men who had some experience in athletics before. A good foundation has been laid for next year's team which should make a still more enviable record. Only three men graduate in 1911. The management should be commended for obtaining a good schedule, but more prompt- ness in getting out the season tickets would have helped to better the financial returns which are never as good as in other depart- ments of athletics.
