THE STATE COLLEGIAN
The baseball squad under the di
rection of Coach "Lefty" Mcllveen
and Captain "Burdie" Cree put in
its second indoor practice last Satur
day afternoon. It will be only a
matter of a few weeks until the
work can be pushed forward rapidly
by daily practice, and the prospects
for a successful season are very
promising just now.
The squad presents a very good
appearance from the fact that most
of the old men are in uniform and
the new men are showing up well.
Two infield vacancies caused by the
absence of ex-Capt. "Joe" Mason
and Crutchley will present the
hardest propositions, as both of
these men were stars. But with the
material on hand at least good sub
stitutes will be in place for the' first
R I I game.
The pitching staff will be com
posed of men picked from "Bob"
Vorhis, Mitinger, McCleary, Lynch,
Bray, Skemp, and Leidich.
"Larry" Vorhis and Pearl Thomas
will be behind the bat, while Hirsh
man, one of the veterans, and Bubb,
who played with Mercersbu- g last
year, are working for first. No
better man can be had than "Bur
due" at short and just who will fill
the other sacks is yet to be deter
mined. Haverstick, who has been
out of college a year is doing good
work at third. Workman of Har
risburg High is showing up well and
will undoubtedly be seriously con
sidered before any final decisions
are made. Ferguson, and Mason,
brother of "Joe," who has had ex
perience with Allegheny High, are
both in the fight foi the infield jobs.
Coulson will be the main worker out
of the diamond and his two running
mates will be either alternate pitch
ers or men whom it will be advisable
to pike there for other reasons.
Taken as a whole, the material
from which the team will be selected
is certainly as good as any that has
