Ren Kelly, the young pitcher and a brother to George Kelly, was the hero of the pastime, In the fourth inning, with Jimmy McQuade, the Fordham lad pitching, Kelly slammed the ball far over Ross Young's head for the first home run of the training season, In the same inning stay.

Johnston, Ward and Olsen delivered a fine brand of inflelding yesterday and picked up im their hitting. John- ston and Olsen got two hits each, and Ward splashed one against the fence for a three-bagger. Nevertheless, the Regulars were beaten 3 to 2 by wast- ing most of their nine hits.

Huggins has a very formidable first team, even though Duffy Lewis and Frank Baker of last year's cast arc still missing, but in the first practice game of the geason it was beaten yes- terday at Southside Park by the | youngsters. Indeed, the cotts outplayed the reg- ulars clearly, and but for an infield error, would have administered a shutout. The kids sdored all three of their runs off Carl Maya's puzzling underhand shoots. It is true that the two runs of the third inning were un- earned, but it is equally true that the freshmen hopped the Mays person for an earned run right off the reel. Four of these colts, Meusel, Ward, Gleich and O'Doul, looked quite as well in comparison as any of their rivals. They fielded quite as well and perbape hit @ little better, and there was nothing to choose between the pitching of the rival teams, Gleich looks like a real outfield find, He takes a beautiful cut at the ball and has the knack of placing his bits to all fields.
