Baseball Practice Yesterday.

The general squad of candidates for the nine started work at the Cage yesterday afternoon. Some twenty five men reported, and more candidates will probably come out next week. The practice consisted mainly of easy throwing to get the men's arms limber, and a short run.

The practice of the University squad was conducted as usual. P. D. Haughton '99 was present and assisted in the coaching.

The battery candidates were started on light exercises with wooden dumbbells in preparation for the heavier work of the coming weeks. They were also given general directions as to their diet. The pitchers are still using straight balls entirely, the greatest attention being given to ensuring good control of the ball.
