Ninety-One Nine.

The '91 nine practiced against the 'varsity yesterday, though they did not have a regular game. The team was made up as follows: Cummings, p.; Guerin, c.; McKeao, 1b.; Luce, 2b; Austrian, 3b.; Simons, s. s.; Bowman, l.f.; Babbitt, c. f.; Washburn, r. f. This is hardly the strongest team Ninety-one can put in the field. Corning, who has been playing well at third base was not out yesterday; and Wood is laid up with a swollen face.

Cummings and Guerin are probably the best battery, though Bowman has had the benefit of Clarkson's coaching all winter and can change places with Cummings, who once played left field on the 'varsity. McKean used to play a good first base but his illness last year has apparently weakened him, for he is not playing his game yet. Weld is a candidate for the position, but it is not unlikely that Babbitt would make the best man for the place. Luce was weak on thrown balls yesterday; if Wood plays it will be at second, while Luce may go into the outfield, or, some say, to first. He was originally the pitcher for the class.

Austrian has been at short in practice and will presumably play there in the class games, Corning taking third. Simons has been doing very good work in the outfield and will probably be in right field when the team is finally made up. It is possible that Crosby will complete the list of the outfielders.

The senior team as a whole will have the advantage of experience. Cummings, McKean, Corning and Wood have been regulars or substitutes on past 'varsity teams. Cummings, Luce, Bowman, Corning and Crosby were on the ninety-one freshman nine, as was Parker, who may be induced to play this year.
