Training for baseball has already begun in many quarters, especially at the large schools in the country. As soon as space permits, this Department will offer some suggestions for training and preparation which may prove of assistance to captains and players.
The Long Island League has already arranged its baseball schedule for this spring as follows:
| April 18—Brooklyn Latin School vs. St. Paul School. |
| April 22—High-School vs. Adelphi Academy. |
| April 25—Pratt Institute vs. Polytechnic Preparatory. |
| April 29—Brooklyn High-School vs. Brooklyn Latin School. |
| May 2—Pratt Institute vs. Brooklyn Latin School. |
| May 6—Brooklyn High-School vs. St. Paul. |
| May 6—Polytechnic Preparatory vs. Brooklyn Latin School. |
| May 9—Pratt Institute vs. Adelphi Academy. |
| May 16—Pratt Institute vs. Brooklyn High-School. |
| May 16—Adelphi Academy vs. Brooklyn Latin School. |
| May 16—Polytechnic Preparatory vs. St. Paul. |
| May 23—Polytechnic Preparatory vs. Brooklyn High-School. |
| May 23—Pratt Institute vs. St. Paul. |
| May 27—Adelphi Academy vs. Polytechnic Preparatory. |
| June 3—Adelphi Academy vs. St. Paul. |
It will be seen that their season begins early, this being necessitated by the number of teams in the League. I hope the schedule will be carried out completely, and that the unfortunate system of forfeiting games—usually through fear of defeat—will not be carried on this spring as it was last fall in football.
