The Yale Freshman Nine.

Candidates for the freshman nine at Yale are in training under the supervision of the members of the University nine. They are coached daily in base-running and sliding. No practice in batting is given on account of the poor light in the cage. At the rink, a building near the colleges, practice in passing and the work of the batteries is carried on. No men have been dropped as yet, but the number will be reduced in a few days. There is great interest displayed by the different candidates and some remarkable ability has been developed. The battery is supposed to be one of the best for several years past. Conscientious work is the order of the day, and a determination to win the two games with Harvard is displayed. Communications have been received from the managers of the Harvard freshman nine to arrange the dates of the games. It has been requested by Harvard that both games be played in May, as the games last year greatly interfered with the men's examinations. No reply to this request has yet been received here.
