of the season to vermont on saturday april 4 on lehigh field how ever we need not feel at all dis couraged the wind was strong and very cold and our team had had but a few days practice upon the diamond the new men who were given a trial showed up well altogether fifteen men were tried out of the three pitchers flippen seemed to have a little the best of it he was cool and vermont was not able to place their hits safely serfass had steam but grew a lit tle wild tressler had quite a few strike-outs to his credit sterner had a shade the better of mcmurtrie in his catching but allowance must be made for mac's knee being injured in the early part of the game at first morsack was not in the game long enough to permit a fair estimate of his ability vela seems to be troubled with stage fright miller put up the best game at that position and was as cool as a veteran rose at short seems to be a find and it is not hard to predict that he will make good fleming at third had little work to do but judging from his playing of last year he should be all right law rence in left field showed up well and his stick work was a decided surprise anderson in right seems able to put up a good game the lineup : lehigh vermont continued on page four death of former chaplain the reverend frederic mayer bird authority on hyrnnology and numismatics died at his home in south bethlehem penna on
