...candidates for the college and freshman nines at Amherst are doing regular work in pitching and catching in the cage, batting in the old gymnasium, and general exercises in the new gymnasium. The men who are training for the New England Intercollegiate meeting at Hartford are also working steadily, and are feeling pretty confident of bringing the championship to Amherst this year. Last year Amherst men took four first and ten second prizes, a larger total than was made by Dartmouth in getting the championship. Six first prizes made Dartmouth win.

Henshaw, Linn, Willard, Campbell and Boyden were all of them heavy batters last year, and Quackenboss and Knowlton have the reputation of doing good work with the stick. The number of candidates is large and practice regularly every day in the cage at handball and sliding bases; also in battery work. The prospects are not very encouraging. Captain Henshaw will do all in his power to make a winning team out of the material that he has, but he is hampered by the regulations against professionals, which the faculty persist in enforcing...
