The Need of a Good Ball Diamond.
Work is soon to begin on the atli-
ietie field. We should not forget that
the base ball diamond is needing some
improvements. The condition of the
field as it is now will cost two dollars
and fifty cents per day to practice.
The gravel on the surface of the infield
will ruin a ball in a short while. The
infield is unsafe for a player. We may
get in a close play some time, say a
force run, a fumble would probably cost
Poly the game. A man can be a line in-
ficldcr, and if you put him on a rough j
diamond, where the ball is just, as
likely to iiit him on the nose as in his
bands, such a field will soon cause him
to lose eonficlence in himself. Any man
that has played ball knows that half
a man’s strength is in self-confidence,
We want our boys to believe they are
the swiftest players in the State, and
can handle any kind of infield bull.
When Wo get our team to believing
this, and lull of ginger and confidence,
it h going to take a strong team to de-
feat them. We have the best pros-
pects for a winning team that we have
bad in five years. Let us give them a
chance to display their skill, and I will
assure you that Ibis team will make
you fee) proud of tbuir record.
Let me say a word to those that!
come out to watch the practice games.
Do not guy any boy trying-out for a
position. Some of the boys are young
and inexperienced in base hall. You
can easily make these boys shaky and
feel bad over missing a ball. No hoy
with the spirit of an athlete in him
will guy a player practicing on anyj
team. An athlete is very sensitive; a
word of cheer makes him feel good,
while a jeer is the opposite. Do not
come out on the field to hiss or jeer.
Come out and encourage the boys.
When they make a good play, let them
know it by saying something good to
the player. If you want to guy a
little, come around and turn loose on
the catcher; the other players are in-
fants compared with his age.
(let busy and work the diamond
over, and we will show you the swift-
est college team in the State.
MANAGER.
The track meet between the Univer-
sity of Missouri and Illinois to be held
in the local gymnasium next Friday
evening will undoubtedly be one of the
best indoor duel meets of the West Ibis
year. Missouri lias been the leader in
track athletics in the Missouri Valley
Conference for three consecutive years,
and the records made at the Missouri
Valley Conference meet last June com-
pare very favorably with the Intercol-
legiate Conference records at Chicago,!
and in some instances they are hotter, i
The coming meet promises to be ex-
citing from start to finish and in all1
probability will decide the champion-;
ship of non-conference schools.
