SHAY, FORMER CHICAGO SHORTSTOP, 1922 COACH

DUFFY WILL SUPERVISE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Marty J. Shay's appointment as Freshman baseball coach was announced by the H. A. A. last night. He will have charge of the 1922 team during the coming season, but will be under the supervision of Coach Hugh Duffy.

Shay has had two years' experience with major and minor league clubs. He went from Goddard Seminary in 1916 to join the Chicago "Cubs" as short-stop and worked with them throughout the season. The following winter he went to the St. Joseph club of the Western League. In that year, his batting average was .274, the highest of any short-stop in the league. He acted as captain of the team during part of the season. Shay joined the navy in December, 1917, and played with the Charlestown Navy Yard team during the following spring.

During the vacation the University baseball squad had two sessions of outdoor practice under very favorable weather conditions. All three fields are in good condition now, and the batting cage has been put up, so that everything is in readiness for practice.

At the beginning of a practice game yesterday morning Teams A and B lined up as follows, but many substitutions were made throughout the contest: TEAM A.  TEAM B. Evans, c.f.  c.f., Baldwin, J. McCleod, 2b.  1b., Holmes Jones, r.f.  2b., Frothingham Gammack, c.  s.s., Kerr Emmons, s.s.  3b., Phinney Meehan, 3b.  l.f., Davis Gross, l.f.  r.f., Coolidge King, 1b.  c., Stillman, C. W. Rice '22, p.  p., Felton
