O'Donnell and Stack seem to be the best of those trying for outfield berths, but it may ba that Peloski, if he continues his wood batting, may be shifted to fill one of them. Du Four is certain to do the bulk of the catching. He held down the job lust_year and did it very credit- ebly. Kane and McMahon are out for the place, but have not the ex perience of Du Four. It is said that Mayer. captain of next yeur's foot bull team and star of the boxing team, is a catcher mo W to try make the squad. | The pitching staff seems to be about the rs.

The next best | hurler is Foley, basket ball luminary | and freshman piicher seuson. Moran thinks that Foley is impro ing rapidly and should he of con: erable value by the middle of the son. Other pitchers who are workin some of whom hurled in g 1925, are Bonomo, Sheffield, and Kozak. “I am well pleased with the prog- ress the team has made so far,” said Moran, “and we ought to come through with a pretty good outfi We should have good fielding, fair hitting and better battery work thas usual, and that is about all there to' college base hull. The weather béen bad. but the squad is in surpri: ingly good shape, We have no kic coming right now about our pro pects.” | This kind of a comment is so dif. ferent from Moran’s usual variety | that one cannot help feel that C. U. has unusual chances of developin fine ball team. Certain it is, too, that Moran will get the most possible out of the squad. There are no better college diamond coaches than the man who handles the Brookland team. West Virginia ersity, which has phayed here almost annually, has an- nounced that it will eliminate long basket ball trips. It claims that it is impossible for a team to play eight days consecutively and stay in good shape for all the games. For years West Virginia has been taking trips of that kind, but after the disastrous one of this vear feels that the fatigue sustained by the play and the consequent long time recover- | ing makes the jaunt not worth the | recognize d- | ia's experience | long basket ball trips can be taken | and games won. Two years ago North | Carolina. sent its team North and on it way it trimmed Virginia, Washing- ton and Lee, Virginia Military Insti- tute, Catholic University, Harvard, Maryland and a couple of other schools without the loss of a contest. This year, without as good a team as it had at that time, North Carolina played seven games, and won four ol them, on & trip that took the team to Harvard, and the biggest score by which it was defeated in any of the three losses was 3 points. And it took the Naval Academy two extra periods to heat the Tarheels and Harvard one. WASHINGTON AND LEE HAS TO REBUILD NINE LEXINGTON, Va., March 22 Washington and Lee's base ball team for the coming season will only be a zhost of the 1925 championship ag- | gregation. Loss of seven veterans, two of whom were from the inner s, an- other pair from the outerzardens and | a trio from the stellar battery com- bination, will be keenly felt when Coach Dick Smith starts his assign- ) ment of the men. An entire corps of pitchers will have to be assembled by the Blue and | White's leader, as the failure of Lind- berg, Perry and Woolwine to return bas left a huge gap.

In putting your foot in the hole to start, the tip of the toe only is at the bottom of the hole while, the sole of the foot rests against the back wall.

Its distance behind the forward foot should be such that when kneel- ing down with both feet in the holes our back knee is on the ground even h the ball of the forward foot. The usual command for starting I8, “On’ your mark.” At this signal take the kneeling position, wit both feet in the holes and the hands on the ground at the starting line. The next signal will be, “Get set.” At this raise the rear knee until it is a little higher than the ankle of the xame log. In this position your hands should be on the starting line, forefinger and thumb to the front, with the hand spread forming a kind of bridge. The elbows should be straight and the hands about 18 inches apart. The weight of the body is slightl, forward, mostly on the front foot and the_hands.

Seaton, editor of the Bureau of Solls of the Department of Agriculture, will come as a shock to_the old-time bowlers of the city. His death means the loss of a royal supporter of the duckpin game, and the departure of one of the finest sportsmen who ever took his stand on the local runways. “Cap” Seaton (his ghost would haunt any one calllug him “Dr.” Seaton) was a fine fllust tion of the high-class men attracted to the duckpin_game. He was dean of the editors of the Department of Agri- culture, a man of liberal culture and astonishing versatility Aside from his remarkable knowl- edge of agriculture and law he was a connofsseur in several branches of the fine arts; a landscape painter of ability, and for many years a mem- ber of a prominent sympheny or- chestra. His failing eyesight led him to abandon league bowling some years ago, but he never lost his love for the game. He had been il for a month or _more, but his death, on February 28, was unexpected.
