Candidates for the Junior Class Nine.

Yesterday afternoon the candidates for positions on the junior class nine appeared on Jarvis for the first time this year. The following men were out practising batting and fielding: Downer, MacPherson, Talbot, Magee, Anderson, W. D. Clark, Raymond, J. D. Merrill, Shattuck, Atkinson, Thayer, Odell, Bigelow, Hunneman, and J. Smith. There are now eight of the original freshman nine in college, of whom six will probably be able to play this spring. Downer or MacPherson will pitch, and if Litchfield can be prevailed upon to act as backstop, he will do most of the catching. The other candidates for catcher are Bigelow and Smith. For first base the candidates are Shattuck, Magee and Downer, if the latter does not pitch. It is as yet undecided who will fill the other positions on the team. Every one who intends to try should be on the field today at two o'clock.
