PROGRESS OF BASEBALL

Yesterday afternoon and Thursday the outfielders on the University baseball squad were given out-door practice catching files on the scrub football field. The pitchers commenced throwing curves on Wednesday, and since then have shown poor control, although some of them have good speed. The batting has been fair, but has fallen off since the middle of the week, due largely to the use of curves.

The work of the infielders has continued in the Cage practicing base-sliding and double plays. Yesterday, practice was given in catching men between bases. The fielding has improved some what, especially the throwing. A cut was made in the squad yesterday from which the following men were retained, and should report in their usual squads. Any Freshman battery candidates whose names do not appear in the following list, should report with the regular Freshman squad at 4 o'clock.
