The outstanding weakness appears to be in the pitching staff, on which there are no veterans. With the graduation of Mackey, who did almost all of the pitching last season, the team has only Bohrer and Com- fort, who have not had any experience at all. However, these candidates have been joined by Clark, Stannard, and Wright, and it is upon these three that the main burden of hurling will be placed. Clark seems to be the best all-around candi- date at the present moment, but Stannard, and Wright, when he is not catching, will no doubt improve a great deal inthe weeks remaining before the opening game. At the opposite end of the battery the team is slightly more fortunate in having Wright, last year's first substi- tute. He will undoubtedly prove valuable to the team for both his field work and batting. As substitutes there are Davies and Farber, both of whom have had two sea- sons' experience. pp The infield seems pretty well determined even at this early date, with Orsenigo at first, Plews at second, Yan- T kauer at short, and Henes at third. Good substitutes seem rather scarce w'ith Nichols, Mansfield, Davies, Urie and Knap being the other candidates for the various positions. With practice, however, the Hrst string men should develop into a fairly strong combination, both at bat and in the field. The outfield is as yet undetermined as Ump Tewhill will in all probability use those men whose hitting ability merits their presence in the lineup. The only person who is sure of a position is Freeman, who will again H11 the center field position. With Clark on the pitching , squad, Henes out for third, and Mallett unavailable, the other positions are still open. In the case of Ump not using the plan just mentioned either Wykoff, Darling, or Mayo may fill the other berths. On the whole the squad is mediocre and is well able to make use of the extra two weeks of practice that the weather has permitted. The new diamond, the ability of the pitching staff to develop quickly, and an ordlinary , schedule are all factors which play some part in the out- come of the season. The squad has shown excellent spirit and a One hundred fifty-fix es f 1. - i, ,.. --l ws -... 'L 1.9.- K if it ref 'llll T l 1 -va 1 I , 1 I gal Ji 111 if ill i HE m ll,
