The establishment Of a "unioa" athletic
grounds. where all amateur sports ian be played,
and in such place that the public can reach
with ease, can hardly be anything but success.
It il to be hoped that this matter will at least
receive consideration.

cross bats for the third time this season with
the Washingtons. The game is expected to
draw large crowd.

spring sports on the 18th Of May and have hired
the grounds Of the Y. NJ c. A. for that occa-

contests.
The Georgetown boys are making big effort
to have the provincials rescind their order re-
fusing to allow any Of the academies TO leave
the city on the base ball trips which the team
have arranged. They claim that without the
services OF the men whom this rule affects that
the team will be 80 weakened that it would be
useless for the team to ill their dates. 1t is to

making big endeavor to get a base ball game

between the two teams would make a fine con-
test.
