TURNOUT OF 50 BREAKS FALL BASEBALL RECORDS

The largest turnout in years for fall baseball at Harvard greeted Coach Mitchell yesterday afternoon when the CRIMSON mentor arrived to take charge of the off-season drill over 50 candidates reporting for the first meeting. With most of last year's championship squad engaged in other sports, the bulk of the new-comers were Freshmen.

Among the members of last year's "Big Three" championship team to report were F. B. Cutts '28, a practically unknown twirler last spring whose relief work in the Yale series carried the CRIMSON to victory in two of eight games, J. E. Tobin '27, regular first sacker, and W. B. Jones '28, star outfielder. R. R. Ketchum '29, and E. L. Molloy '29, mainstays of the Freshman hurling corps of a year ago were also in uniform.

During the balance of the week Coach Mitchell intends to spend most of the time limbering up with long hitting sessions featuring the daily workouts. Beginning next week seven inning games will be played each afternoon, weather permitting.

Two new diamonds have been constructed on Soldiers Field during the summer, and another will probably be built for use in the spring. Tentative plans have also been made for the construction of dugouts on the University diamond, and these will probably be ready for the opening contest against Boston University, April 9. With a veteran team intact except for the garduation of last yar's leader. C. L. Todd Jr. '26, prospects are bright for a strong nine next spring.
