BASE M L ' ' , HE base-ball problem which presented itself for solution ' in the early part of the season was one full of anxiety '1.- r 3' Q and solicitude. To make up a team which should be in -T -,A ff. no degree inferior to those of the past was thought to be impossible. A substantial portion of the 1899 team was gradu- ated last year, and it was believed, at first, that the respective positions of these men could not be Hlled again creditably. XVhen the call for candidates was made, some twenty men responded. After several trips to the cage the 1' weeding process l' reduced the number to a possible twelve. The customary in-door practice of batting, fielding, and throwing was indulged in, which proved of inestimable value as the season advanced. The out-of-door work of the men, pursued with earnest- ness and assiduity of purpose, soon began to instill into their sup- porters coniidence and hope. The old men fell into their respective positions with ease and celerity, while the new men, by their indi- vidual and team work, proved themselves capable of filling the doubtful places with greater lustre than they have been illed in several years. The essential points which win base-ball games have been urged with more persistency than heretofore, in fact, from a scientific consideration, this year's team has acquired greater proficiency, shown greater knowledge, and gained greater results than Friends School has hitherto attained.
