C. l, At the close of indoor practice season, early in April, Coach Karlson called out the candidates for the entire team. Durf ing the first week, between fifty and sixty men were on the athletic field each after' noon. There was an abundance of matef rial for both the infield and outneld and also for the backstop berth. The number of candidates reporting for the pitcherls position was a bit disappointing to the coach. However, by the second week in April, after the first cut had been made, it began to look like a prosperous season. The preliminary practice sessions proved very beneficial, due to the fact that twice a week the Wentworth boys were lined up against the Boston University varsity team, which used our field for daily pracf tice. THE TEAM At the present writing, the team makef up is as follows: As backstop, Drummond of the E. C. 2nd, has played ine baseball throughout the season. He seems to have a good whip and watches his game with the alertness of an old leaguer. In the box, Salstrom of the A. C. 2nd, has done most of the twirling, having pitched a fine game at Andover. Cn the pitching staff we also have Banagan of the A. C. 2, Skinner of Fay of the PatternfMaking course, Wal' dron of the Foundry group, and Perkins of the M. W. class. English High star, is first sack in splendid fashion. Lord, the captain of next year's basketball team, is playing at second base. The positions at shortstop and third have given the coach more or less worry, and to date no stable combination has been settled upon. At short, he has tried McLean of the A. C. 2, Adams of the S. E3 E. 2, Beach of the E. C. 2, and nnally White of the E. C. 1. The most of this combination who have played at short stop, have played at least one gameat third, but the position seems to be Hlled now by Pierce of the E. C. 1. Captain joe Cdlum is taking care of the right iield, while McLean, Beach and Adams have all played in the center posif tion. Left field has been taken care of by Pierce, Salstrom and Skinner. We have enjoyed watching the splendid, business' like manner in which the manager, Wil' liam Watson of the M. C. 2, has handled the team and credit is due to Cashman of the S. E3 E., and Dodge of the C. Er? B. for their splendid spirit of cofoperation as assistants to Mr. Watson. Barry, the Lynn taking care of the lS jm-

BECKER Collecting autographs is a fascinating hobby, if only for the reason that it gives us anew standard for judging our fellow men. Without doubt, an autograph does carry with it something of the personality . BETTY BRONSON of its author, and in collecting them we gather around us an interesting group of men and women. There is a popular misconception about autograph collecting which considers it to be the infantile practice of taking a blank book marked L'Autographs and asking people to write their names in it. Such is the way of the high school girl, but not of the collector of autographs. Nor is it autograph collecting to take a letter and clip the signature. This is destroying rather than collecting. It is the aim of the collector if possible to secure an entire letter, note, or piece of writing, in the handwriting of the author, signed with his or her name. This is then known as an A. S. L. fautograph signed letterl or an A. S, N. Qautograph signed notej. Usually typewritten letters are of little value, as they may be only the thoughts of the secretary put on paper and then handed to the signer fora signature. Une very important thing in autograph collecting, and there are many, is to make your letter of request carry a distinct appealg make it a personal letter, to that person you are writing to. Never use a form letter, for it is soon recognized as such by the persons addressed, with the result that they feel their letters and signatures are being commercialized rather than being MAE MURRAY placed in some collectiong and as a consef quence, such requests are either ignored or refused. There are many ways of making a letter personal and appealing. It all . .M 20 yt.
