Hatchettites at work veterans in the line up

Hart expect a stronger team, with Alston possibly the only missing veteran. New talent from Virginia Tech and North Carolina A and M shows promise as Coach Magoffin’s Hatchettites proceed daily through the baseball season. Georgetown also held a stiff practice under Coach Neilson with 22 men, including Fitzgerald and Sitterding. Wynard the punter is due, Feenan may arrive later.

Virginia opens football practice under Coach Crawford at UVA
Virginia's new football era begins with the opening practice under Head Coach Crawford in Charlottesville on Sept 14. Most of last year's V men are absent as only a few linemen remain, and backfield is largely rebuilt amid expectations of a safer game under the new rules. Meanwhile, baseball notices report Brandom of Kansas City owes Pittsburg 103.50 with three days to pay, and Paul Sentell is denied back salary claims by Atlanta and Brooklyn clubs. Oakley Fisher sets a new motorcycle record in Milwaukee, clocking 4 minutes 36 1 2 seconds for 3 miles on a circular track.
