BASEBALL PRACTICE OUTDOORS

The University baseball team will practice outdoors today for the first time, if weather permits. Practice will be held on the second team diamond until the University field can be put into condition. The team has already made progress in its development, for the battery men have been working in the Cage since the middle of February, and the fielding candidates, who were called out about a week ago, have been practicing batting, running bases, and stopping ground balls.

Coach H. E. Reeves '12, of the Freshman baseball team, has issued a call for fielders from the class of 1918. All Freshman candidates, both fielding and battery, will report at Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. The squad will probably be taken outdoors on the regular Freshman diamond.
