Amherst is getting its forces together to make a creditable showing on the diamond this year. There are eighteen candidates for the 'Varsity nine now in active training under Captain Phillips. The daily work includes batting practice in the old gym, and the usual course of exercise with chest weights, parallel and horizontal bars and running. Four batteries are also kept at regular work, giving the rest of the men good opportunities to bat as well as to keep themselves in trim. The work has thus far been steady, systematic and thorough, and well entered into by the candidates. The men in training are: '87, Alvord, c., Keating, p., Haskell, p.; '88, Davidson, 1b., Judson, 2b., Stearns, c., 2b., Oldham, c., l. f., Phillips, s. s., p., McLennan, 3b.; '89, Turner, p., Storrs, l. f., Belcher, r. f., 2b., Dicken, c.; '90. W. C. Burns, c. f., Houghton, p., r. f., Pope, c., Ewing, 2b., Delabarre, 1b, r. f. With energetic work there is no reason why the Amherst nine should not develop good players by the beginning of the season.
