Although the other positions on the team are far from decided Coach Mitchell has his starting infield pretty well in mind. Barry Wood is likely to be converted into a first-sacker and take over the place left vacant by the graduation of Prior. Mays is already far ahead of the other contenders for second and he will have Captain Nugent over at short to help him guard the keystone sack. Nugent played second last year and had McGrath as running mate, but McGrath is moving to the outfield and Nugent has shifted over to the shortfield. At third...
Harvard's baseball squad came the closest it has all year to having a regular game yesterday when Coach Mitchell combined his batting and infield practices during the two-hour drill in the Briggs cage...
Combining the two drills the batters had to run out their hits against a regular infield and once on base the runners got plenty of coaching and practice in working the double steal. This made it a hard day for the catchers who gave their arms the stiffest test they have had all season. The main interest still centers on the infield, however, where a lively tussle is being staged for all positions. Yesterday's first quartet had G. A. Donaldson '31 at first, E. A. Mays '32, at second, Captain F. E. Nugent '30, at short...
...session was taken up for the most part by a batting drill with each one of the moundsmen taking his turn in the box against the hitters. With a half hour left the inside nets were drawn up, the pitchers were sent in and three combinations ran through an infield drill. The first of these had J. E. Sheldon '32 at first, J. J. Carver '30 at second, Captain F. E. Nugent '30 at short, and H. L. Huxtable '30 at third. In the second group G. A. Donaldson '31 was at first, E. A. Mays...
...knocked a wild pitch for a home-run, his second of the series, with two friends on base. In the fourth inning the Athletics scored three times more and Manager McCarthy of Chicago took out Malone, one of his best pitchers. With one out, the bases filled, and the infield playing close so as to be able to field a grounder home, Cub Short-stop English boneheaded to second. Pitcher Earnshaw of Philadelphia tired but his successor, muscular Robert Moses Grove, proved that a good left-handed pitcher can do better than tradition says against a team of right-handed...
