BASE BALL COMMENTS FOR THE WEEK. The team continues to improve and the work of the past week, Saturday excepted, was a marked improvement over that of the week preceding. The batting was harder and safer and the base running better, yet there is still room for much improvement in the latter. We have noticed a lack of coaching of the runner. This should be remedied at once, for it is due to carelessness and negligence and without it, good base running is impossible. There should always be a coach er at first and third and it is to be hoped that this important work will not be neglected. Several times the past week a runner has been on sec ond or third, yet no one to run him in. Moyehas improved very much the past week in his hit ting and it has been among the best. We have noted this with pleasure and trust that he will continue to improve, for his fielding is fine and his base run ning good. Stanley's batting has been very superior. After hitting the ball he gets off quickly and his speed is very telling. We would caution the batters against watching the ball after it is hit, for the loss of a fraction of a sec ! ond often means the loss of a run. 'Little Ben' ' covers short well, and picks up a grounder cleanly, but he is still slow in his throw ing: and should meet slow ground- ers sooner. Devin, at first base, i does yet go down for grounders J as he shoujd. 'He is very safe on , a thrown ball, and his batting is good. Gray and Ellis at second ;j . are both first-class players. Gray is quicker and a little surer in the field but Ellis is the better batter. Mason at third is playing good ball but as we said previously is not safe always. His throwing continues very fine. "He is a hard hitter but in our opinion strikes "too hard' ' to be a sure batter. Busbee is playing very good ball in right field since his finger has gotten well and as was noted in the last issue, his batting continues sure. In regard to the other men there are no changes to be noted. Every one sees and appreciates the good results of Lanier's valuable coaching. To him we are great , ly indebted for the progress the team has made and we desire to place on record this testimonial of our high appreciation of his services and the great benefits re sulting therefrom. His patience with the players and indefatiga ble efforts for the strengthening of the team are appreciated. PERSONAL. J.'T. Pugh, '93, is at home on a visit.
