Heavy Hitting Big Feature of First Outdoor Practice on Hamilton Field
SMITH DISLOCATES ARM

May be Kept Off Pitching Staff for Rest of Spring
Thirty candidates for the 1917 Jayhawk baseball nine turned out for the first outside practice which was held on Hamilton Field yesterday afternoon from two o'clock until five. Although this is a good number of candidates Captain Smoot said that experienced to come out as part of the prospective players did not know that the squad was going to play outside yesterday.
The first serious accident to a play occurred Tuesday night in Robinson Gymnasium when Wint Smith, a K man on the football team and one of the strong candidates for the pitching staff this year, threw his shoulder out of place in a basketball practice after he had worked out at twirling the ball. He said last night that he would probably not get to play any ball this season unless his shoulder took an unexpected sprint in healing.
PRACTICE SLUCKING THE BALL
The feature of the outstretched practice yesterday afternoon was the batting workout. He spent about an hour and a half in limbing up, and upon of the squad lined up at the ball while others shagged the ball. After each candidate had hit the ball several times, their squad would field the ball while another section took their turn at the bat.
Several promising sluggers stepped into the limelight but Adrian Lindsey, famous football player, probably hit the ball harder and farther than any of the other candidates. If the practice last night is any indication of the sort of sluggers the Jayhawkers will have this season, it will take some long winded fielders on the opposing teams to chase the balls down when the season is opened with the Kansas Normals, on McCook Field, April 5.
The spirit which the players put into the practice was fine and everyone seemed to get a good workout. Potty Clark, popular as a football, basketball, and track coach, was out to liven things up for the players. The Jayhawker fans are beginning in the athletic line that Pobston can demand. He will soon call his candidates out for their first practice, which will probably be hold sometime this week if the weather stays wram.
The grass on the McCook Field, diamond has been skinned off, and the low places have been filled with clay so that the diamond should be ready for use just as soon as it is rolled down. The diamond care-crane of McCook Field, said that he would probably have it ready for use some time today.

"Send a boy after this one" or "Gee on your horse out there," is the way Adrian Lindsey, famous football player and a "K" man on the baseball nine in 1915, addressed the fielders when he stepped up to the plate with one of the new bats, in the practice yesterday afternoon. And may it suffice to say the opposing teams which will meet K. U. this year, will need about six fielders to chase the ball after he gets limbered up a bit.
From early indications, 'the Jayhawkers are going to have one of the hardest hitting bunch of sluggers for many seasons. A candidate for the team and several other persons were kept busy chasing the balls which went over the fence yesterday afternoon.
More than one hundred Jayhawker fans were out to the first outside baseball practice yesterday afternoon. This is the kind of spirit that will make a winning team for K. U. and everyone should take time to step down to McCook Field a few minutes and see how the candidates for the team are playing. It will make the players feel they really have something to play for and will therefore do their best.
"If we chase all the foul balls until the first game we can get in free" is part of a conversation between Jack Pedroja and some friends at the practice yesterday afternoon. To the good woodman, to the team would be to carry water for the team. Everyone seemed to be having a jubilee yesterday.
Honey, the jovial colored caretaker of McCook Field, has again become the center of attraction for the students who visit McCook Field to see the baseball and track practice. "Hi thar sugar-lump" is only one of his many characteristic expressions. He says that "Honey" is only a nickname, and was given to him by the women students.
Pi, the big white bulldog of the Pi Upsilon fraternity, was the center of attraction of the spectators for about twenty minutes yesterday afternoon. Pi chased a "cotton-tail" into one of the drainage pipes at the cast end of Hamilton Field, and then barked and tore up the ground at the ends of the pipe so much that several of the spectators decided to smoke the rubble. And when it finally came out Pi nailed it and trotted off triumphantly.
The tennis fans have also started to play on the outside courts. Yesterday afternoon, several appeared on the courts east of Hamilton. The players, Cecilia, and batted the ball back and forth, although the nets have not been put up.
Coach Schultz has explained the presence of the Tiger quarter milers in long black gloves in the Kansas-Missouri meet at Kansas City Friday night with the statement that the men wore the gloves to keep them from becoming confused when running a race, and the situations were unnecessary, however, as O'Leary drew the pole and was never headed by the Tiger runners.
