...Captain Stagg has twenty-three men in training for the University nine, six of whom were members of the '87 championship nine, and those who were substituted last year. The old men are Dann, Stagg, Spencer, McConkey, Noyes and Hunt, and McClintock, '90, Hayworth, '88, and Osborne, '88, S. Heyworth has pitched three years for his class team and played in the field in several 'Varsity games last year. He is a careful fielder and a hard but not very sure hitter. Osborne played behind the bat on his class nine and is probably the only man in college...
...hands. He is a fair pitcher, but not at all the phenomenal player he has been described. It is possible that he and Day will constitute a change battery for practice games, but he has much to learn before he will be able to equal the reliable Stagg. Phelps, P. G., has played more or less during the course, but never on the University nine. He is a very good fielder, a fast and skill-full runner and a good batsman. He played third base on last year's "Yale Reserves...
...nothing new need be said. Stagg and Dann are without doubt the best college battery in the country. The Princeton trainer when seen at the foot-ball game and asked about base-ball prospects, replied: "We have a cage now and will put out as good a nine as possible, but we will never be able to best Yale as long as Stagg and Dann are in college." Harvard's principal anxiety seems to be that she hasn't a pitcher to equal Stagg. Spencer at first and McConkey at second base gained a reputation for their excellent work last...
...Captain Stagg has arranged a schedule of hours for his men and every one has to work regularly every day. They practice batting and throwing in the cage and do systematic work in the gymnasium. The gymnasium work consists principally of Indian club swinging and chest weights. The men also run a few miles every day. Three pitchers and three catchers are training, and from these it is hoped that a good change battery can be developed. The nine are arranging for an eastern trip. They will leave New Haven Thursday afternoon, March 29, and go direct to Philadelphia, where...
...prospects for a nine this year would be good if we had a pitcher who could compete with Stagg. There remain three months to develop such a man. Our article this moring on the candidates says that a number of men are anxious for the position and mean to work for it. This must be done or we shall lose another championship which although not so near our grasp as was the foot-ball, is still within the range of possibility. Harvard does not wish to add another series of defeats to the performances of the last two years...
