Several important changes will be made in the Harvard Freshman batting order. Nash, who has not played since the game with the Stone's School on May 5, will be tried again at pitcher. Briggs will be moved to shortstop and Rogers will take his place at second base. Kelley, who was tried in the game with the second nine on Monday, will catch instead of Cate, and Flinn will play right field in Frye's place...
...position at first base McCarty played a steady game, and seldom missed a difficult catch. At second McCall played with confidence. Simons at shortstop was nervous and unreliable, but gained in this respect toward the end of the game. Stephenson and Leonard were in their old positions at catcher and third base, and both played steady games. Castle, who took Taylor's place as pitcher in the sixth inning, kept the hits fairly well scattered, and struck out five men. Taylor who preceded him was batted hard. The inexperience of the outfield was very evident at times by their inability...
...ground. In fielding grounders and passing to first base the squad is now well trained, the throwing to first having developed special accuracy during the week. Second base work has shown some improvement, but the infielders are still uncertain on short throws to the second baseman and shortstop. There is a tendency to stand squarely on the bag in executing the double play, instead of on the near corner. Practice was held for the first time last week on a complete diamond, for the purpose of better instruction in stealing bases. The work in this direction is still rather crude...
...principal problems before the captain and coaches this year will be to fill the pitcher's and left fielder's position, and to develop the rest of the outfield, which was very weak last year. Other positions to be filled are those of first and second bases and shortstop. As fewer men have been retained from the upper classes than in previous years, Freshmen having any baseball ability should come out on February...
...this year's Freshman team, and J. W. Wendell '08, catcher on the same team. F. W. Kemble '08, who has played in a good many games this spring, W. D. Dexter '07, regular centre fielder this year, and G. Ware '08, will be competitors for the positions, of shortstop and second base. The outfield positions, apparently, are uncertain, as there are comparatively few candidates for the places. J. H. Giles '07 and L. Fischel '08, captain of the Freshman nine, should prove useful as candidates for these positions...
