The base ball out look here is unusually bright, there being some very fast players among the new men. The acting manager has already listed games with Racine, Kenosha, Waukegan, Northwestern University, Lake Forest University, De Pau University and the Quaker Oats Company in Chicago. There are about eight pitchers all of which are in good condition and better back stops than Sounelly would be hard to find. To say it in a few words, the Fort Sheridan Base Ball team will be hard to beat during the coming season.

Towns with tail-end base ball teams will this year have a chance to appear more interested in the race for the presidency than in that for the pennant.

The new game of Roco has been placed on the parade ground for the use of the men and it seems to be quite a success. The game resembles hand ball to a great extent, but when played, it causes more and quick action.
