NEOPHYTES VS. JOURNALISTS

The CRIMSON Baseball Club will open its schedule on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 2 o'clock with the Candidates Association as their opponents. Several brainy ball-tossers will don the CRIMSON uniform for the first time, surrounding a nucleus of veterans. Acting-Captain McIntosh will hold down his old berth at the pivot sack, with Edgerton cavorting in the short field. These two with Stiles, a raw recruit, at third, will make up a stonewall infield; and Osborne, though inexperienced, is a demon with the willow, and will cover the initial bag in Daubert fashion. Veterans Smith, Brown, and Morris will form the slugging outfield trio. "Steamship" Hall, the peerless arterial twirler, will appear on the slab with Reynolds, another old timer, at the receiving end. Manager Henderson intends to try out all his new material, and substitutions will be made almost at win.

The candidates have gone through the season so far without a defeat; and although their strength is unknown a sharp tussle is expected. They will be captained by P. C. Lewis '17, (better known to Hoosier fans as "Duffy" Lewis) who was elected at 12.45 last night, the candidates laying off early for the purpose. The C. C. A. will line up as follows: c.f., Seymour; 2b., Canaday, W. D.; c., Dixon; 3b., Meeker; 1b., Crane; r.f., Reed; s.s., Cook; l.f., Curtis; p., Lewis.
