BASEBALL Close upon the break in the sharp, wintry weather came the crack,of bat upon horsehide, the snap of ball into big glove, and the creak and groan of athletes who endeavored to limber up stiEened muscles. A fine looking diamond squad responded to Coach Meyerhs call, everyone more than anxious to aid his Alma Mater and confident of his ability to do it. Energy, speed, and quick manipula- tion of gray matter are the watchwords of our Coach in training his men, and consequently results have been forthcoming. Tom Hart, the peppy little catcher and captain of the last yearhs mine, so impressed therhigher powers in the professional ring of baseball as to earn for him- self a tryout with the National League champs, the New York Giants. Manager john j. McGraw of the senior league champions, after watching the work of the sorrei-topped'recciver, predicted for Hart a bright future. Congratulations are certainly in order, as Tommy has reflected much honor upon his College and richly deserves his good fortune. May his be the uluck 0f the Irish? Page One Hundred Seventy
