Baseball Candidates Preparing For Season By Indoor Work-Outs
Ten Varsity Battery Men Appear Daily To Get In Condition
Pitching Worries Coaches
Practice Will Begin In Earnest When Candidates Go Outdoors April 1
Varsity baseball candidates are working hard to get into condition for the opening of the outdoor practice season about April 1. Ten Varsity battery men have been limbering their arms at the gymnasium for over two weeks under the direction of Dutch Wedell, freshman coach, and the remainder of the Varsity squad is engaged in spring football practice on McCook Field with Coach Bond as their instructor. Baseball practice will begin in earnest as soon as the spring football season is over and with the pre-season training, pitches, catchers, infielders and outfielders alike should be in the best of condition by April 1.
Although Coach Bond has only two letter men around whom to build his nine this year, there is a wealth of material from the ranks of the 1917 freshmen, besides Foster, short-stop, and Stephenson, outfielder, who played several games last year and showed real form the latter part of the season. Wardie Weltmier, right fielder on the 1916 nines, has been working out in the gymnasium almost every day and his presence in the outfield has become an essential strength of the team, both on the offense and defense. Duck Scheinfeld; the other "K" man, won his letter at second base on Coach McCarty's nine last year and will probably hold down the same position this year.
STRONG BIDS FOR INFIELD
Among the sophomores who will make strong bids for infield positions are Isenberger, Lonborg and Machamer from Poty Clark's last year's frost team. Isenberger plays either second base or shortstop and is an excellent fielder. Lonborg is a third baseman and a hard hitter, while Machamer, a first baseman, was one of the most dangerous hitters among the big squad of freshmen last year.
Besides Weltmer and Stephenson Smith, Oyster and Wilhelmny are graduates from the fresh nine who are likely to show up well in the outfield. It will be necessary to pick an entirely new squad of battery men this year, as there is not a pitcher or catcher with Varsity experience in school. The catching problem is not causing the coaches much worry, however, as Bunn from the 1917 fresh will be on hand and Cooper and Kitchen, two of the best pitchers in league, cled brd of receiving in the indoor workouts. Warren Woody, guard on the football team during the past two seasons, is another aspirant for the backstop position who has shown good form in the workouts.
PITCHING A PROBLEM
The pitching situation is likely to cause the coaches some trouble, as the arrangement which will be in use this year will necessitate the playing of four series of three games each with Valley teams, and this will mean that a larger pitching staff than usual will be needed.
Caler, Scheppel and Slawson, members of last year's fresh staff and Goodwin, a new man, are the Varsity candidates limbering their arms in the heat. The team has been ordered to report for football until time for outdoor practice
A large number of freshmen have turned out for the first year team and Coach Dutch Wedell will likely put a team on the field that will make the Varsity fight for every game. Marxen, Harms, Palmer, Shields, Aach, Pierce, Linaki have good high school records on the mound and have batted like Dr. Chestnut and a number of other catchers have turned out in response to the call for freshmen battery men in the gym.
