BASE-BALL AT BROWN.

"We have been so late in putting our men to work that there has been nothing of news to write. However this week has seen the first move, and I give below all that has taken place and our outlook for a nine next year. All the men of last year's nine are here except Greene. Gunderson will be pitcher, Bassett catcher, Durfee 3d and Wadsworth short-stop, Seagraves center, with 1st and 2d bases and right and left fields unfilled. Murphy will be change pitcher. There are ten men under the captain's training now in one of the city private gymnasiums (we have no gymnasium at college) and three or four more will be selected this week. They will not go into the batting practice until February.

In regard to a professional trainer nothing has been decided as yet, but both Matthews of the Athletics and Hines of Providence have been taken of. Base-ball interest is very quiet; no very great interest is felt because, probably, of the poor showing last year."
