Trench has been elected general manager of base ball.

The, first real strenuous game was played last Sunday afternoon between the Religious and a'picked team of tryouts for the Varsity. It was a fast game as the Score of two to three would tell, and the would-be varsity was forced to claim the smaller number. Several grandstand throws lost for them the game which they should have captured by virtue of their number of hits, as they had three to their opponents’ one. Apparently we will be treated to some heavy slugging during the season. The endeavors of L. Nageleisen, our last year’s catcher, to make the Notre Dame team, are watched * with interest here, “Noggie” has the very best wishes of his' old mates for every success.
