BASEBALL PLAYERS HAVE FIRST OUTDOOR PRACTICE

Taking advantage of the warm weather yesterday Team A and Team B of the University baseball squad, outdoors for the first time, engaged in an abbreviated game on the Soldiers Field diamond, in which team. A outplayed its rivals and won 7 to 4.

Team A went ahead in the first frame of the five and one half inning set to scoring as a result of a triple by F. E. Nugent '29. In the third inning, singles by B. H. Bassett '31, E. H. McGrath '31 and E. R. Todd '29 combined with an error and two bases on balls gave Team A four runs and practically cinched the game. Over this three inning stretch P. M. Sidel '31, Team A pitcher, allowed only two hits and struck out five while holding Team B scoreless. In the fourth and fifth innings, however Team B. largely because of long hits by H. L. Huxtable '30 and J. J. Carver '30 scored two runs in each inning.

Captain G. E. Donaghy '29, and Howard Whitmore '29 were not in uniform yesterday. Donaghy was taking a day of rest while Whitmore is out for a few days with a sore arm.

The lineups of the teams follow:

Team A: Bassett, c.f.: Nugent 2b.: Mc-
