New Devices to Secure Control

Coach Sexton is using two devices this year to develop control among the pitchers, a new invention tried out for the first time yesterday, and a system of auto-hypnosis.

The new device is a large padded back-stop about six feet square, cut by a hole at a height which would represent a strike on an average batter. A record is kept every afternoon of the performance of each pitcher.

The second means of developing control--the auto-hypnotic--is to cover the walls of the baseball cage toward which the pitcher throws with placards reading in large letters "Control the ball."

The dummies used last fall for the football men to tackle are also being used as dummy batters.

Steve White, the former Princeton pitcher, now in professional baseball, is working out with the squad this week. A call for all baseball candidates will be made early next month.
