The cage is not large enough to have first and third laid out, and so the men practise batting, base running and throwing from home to first and second principally without having a whole infield. Our great difficulty this year will be the lack of a catcher, and so every effort is being put forth to develop one from the material at hand, which is to say the least but poor.

Ford's catching is daily growing better but Brownlee throws better...
