TWENTY-NINE REPORT FOR FIRST NINE DRILL

Headed by lettermen hurlers, Ed Ingalls, Slim Curtiss, Dave Shean, and Don Prouty and the veteran reserve catcher, Paul Doyle 29 ball players reported to Coach Fred Mitchell at Briggs Cage yesterday afternoon for the first official practice of the season. Activities consisted of running and ten minutes of throwing.

Other pitchers were: Bruce Hamlin, Eliott Bresurck, Charles Ruche, William Pinkos, Phil Lackey, John Mahoney, Jim Robinson, Tom Healy, Bill Lee, Bill Mulcahy, Lefty Edinberg, John Woodward, and Frank Foley.

In addition to Doyle, John Kelly, Peter Pratt, Bob Malone, Tony Galluccio, Chief Boston and Bob Fulton reported as catchers. With neither of last season's regular backstops returning, this position is wide open, with Fulton, Yardling captain a year ago, having a slight pre-season edge.

Sam Merrill, Frank Leary, Ulysses Lupien, Art Johns, and Henry Thompson were infield candidates who reported early.
