BE
14 GAMES ON KANSAS SHCEDULE
Numborof Men Out for Positions
Good Material In 8lght Tentative
Freshman Team Picked Dia
mond In Poor 8hape.
Beginning this "afternoon baseball
practice will be held from 3 until 5
every afternoon. A great many men
who are anxious to try-out for posi
tions on the 'baseball team have been
unable to attend practlco at the hours
It -has 'been held up to this tlmo.
Coach Carroll is expecting some prom
ising new material to appear at prac
tice today. He Is hoping that some
new candidates for pitcher and for the
outfield positions will show up.
Pitchers 8carce.
Since outdoor practlco has begun
the coach has been enabled to got a
better line-up on the men who are
practicing." Ho hns found that there
is a shortage of material for the posi
tion or pitcher and for the outfield
positions.
The following men are thoso that
the coach has picked as the most
promising candidates for the 1910
varsity: For catcher there are three
Minriftlntoi. Radcliffe. Greonslit and
Boylea. . RiMlcllffe.has been a star In
practice. He catches well, throws
well, and is one of the best batters on
the Bnuad. Radcliffe will probably bo
the regular catcher and this arrange
ment will allow, Captain Groonslit to
hold down one of the sackB. Boyles
has also been showing up well in prac
tlco and the catcher's position will be
well filled.
Although thero are six men trying
but for the position of pitcher, only
one- of thorn has shown promising
form. That-Is-Mathersr-Mathcrs-was-one
of the regular slab artiBts last
year, nnd will probably bo tho main
stay this year. The other-men who
are trying out are Hyde, Storms, Olm
stead, Decatur and Frank.
Clarke at First.
Clarke la tho only man trying. out
for first base. He hold down tho
initial sack in great style laBt year,
and it looks ns though ho will have no
T
baseball, and it is thought that the
freshman team will be a strong one.
Tho baseball diamond at tho present
time Is In vory poor condition. The
Infield Is rough and makes it difficult
to handle grounders. Manager Eager
has a forco of men at work and hopes
to get tho diamond In good shapo be
fore tho end of the weolc.
The Knnsas baseball schedule for
this season has been announced. At
the present tlmo fourteen games have
been arranged and Manager Dandsdon
has announced that a half dozen more
are practically assured.
Following Is tho schedule:
April 1P-1G Nebraska at Lawrence.
April 22-23, Nebraska at Lincoln.
April 29-30 Missouri at Lawrence.
May 10 St. Mary's at Lawrence

Tho success of this year's hop Is al
