Good news comes from Brown Universi- 

 ty in regard to baseball. Although several 

 of the strongest players of last year's nine 

 are gone there is a large amount of good 

 material on hand, including substitutes of 

 former teams and new men. Brown's chief 

 losses are Captain Lander, third base; 

 David Fultz, second base; Frank Croker, 

 first base; Richard Croker, right field; E. 

 Gammans, left field, and D. Cook, substi- 

 tute right fielder. Captain Sedgwick re- 

 mains at the head of the pitchers, and with 

 him and several new men who have unusual 

 ability, Brown should be exceedingly 

 strong in the box this year. Bacon, short- 

 stop; Le Stage, catcher, and Clarke, center 

 fielder, are still in college. 



Captain Sedgwick's call for candidates 

 was answered by 37 new men who have 

 been put to work. 



Captain Lander has been engaged to 

 coach the squad until April 1st. It is ex- 

 pected that the nine will be made up of hard 

 hitters. The schedule includes games with 

 Yale, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, 

 Princeton and Cornell. 



Cornell is making extensive preparations 

 to develop a strong nine, and it is expected 

 that with the old men from last season, and 

 with some exceedingly promising new ma- 

 terial in the Freshman class, a high grade 

 team will be put on the diamond. The 

 Ithacans have lost only Blair and Hastell 

 of the '98 team. Young, Bole, White, Mur- 

 taugh, Newton, Geuger, Wood, Smith, 

 Stratton and Miller will answer the call for 

 candidates. 



Reports from Pennsylvania tell, a tale of 

 woe, and from that it can be judged that the 

 baseball prospects do not look particularly 

 bright to the Quaker Collegians. The 

 team has lost 4 of its best players on last 

 year's 9, in the ex-captain and second base- 

 man, Jackson^ short-stop, Wilhelm; third- 

 baseman, Robinson, and pitcher, Dickson. 



Of last year's team Gillinder, first base; 

 Sherril, catcher; Brown, pitcher; Layton, 

 pitcher; Frazier, right field; Houston, cen- 

 ter field, and Coombs and Thompson, left 

 field, will in all probability try for places 

 on this year's nine. 



No games with Princeton or Yale will be 

 played. Harvard will be met twice as usu- 

 al, and in case of a tie the third game will 

 be played in Boston. The season will end 



for Pennsylvania with a New England trip 

 closing about June 13th. 



The teams of all the colleges are now 

 practicing daily, for the greater part in- 

 doors, and the schedules show that the sea- 

 son will open on or about April 1st for all 

 the colleges.
