Jomes, repre senting a husky looking athlete with a C on his breast, regarding tacked up on a nail an "Invitation to be in Field Day with Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Chicago." Under neath was the label, "North Caro lina Attracting Outside Attention." The idea was a good one and the drawing first-rate Virginia is to have three coaches at work on her team this Spung. Mr. Walter Curley, head coach, was 2nd baseman on Virginia's '97 98 team. He has also played with Springfield, Mass., and Chicago Orth, the Washington League pitcher, will coach the pitchers for two weeks, beginning on March 7th. Mr. A. H. Hopkins, "a Southpaw," will be the third coach and will also devote considerable attention to the pitchers.
