permit outdoor games. The intervening
time, however, will be spent in organizing
the base ball team, and in arranging dates
| for the coming season, and In both of these
The managers are busy.
Unlike the case in other years, the COM
position of the base ball team is an unde-
| cided thing, and the students who secure
| place on the varsity nine will get 1t
only through good playing and superior
! ability. Never before was there 30 much
competition for a team, and there will be
some trouble in picking out a representa-
| tive team. leaving plenty of available SUBJ
| stitutes, who will be ready and willing on
| all occaGions to play. The coming nine will
| be picked from the following players:
Catchers. Maloney. .Connell and Dugal:
| pitchers, Mahoney. Lambert and Tracy;
| second base, Dillon, Fleming. Lamb and
third base. H McLauehiin. The outield
Kelly, Mcintyre and Smith. The FIRST base
will be covered by one of the pitchers
New Men at Georgetown.
One surprising fact is that most of the
| candidates for positions are new men, Ma
loney is from Lewiston, Me, and is a It
built young man, but a good catcher. Con-
nell is from Corning. n. Y, and is a good
player. Dugal has been at the university
| for some time and his playing ability is
| well known. big Mike" Mahoney will

stump" Mclaughlin is the only man for
third base. He played with the Engie-
| wood On. J) Field Club last year, and the
year before was with the Fordham team.
| The work of Harley and Mccarthy in the

er's box. He is a new man, and last year
occupied the place for the team of an Ala

games is now being arranged with the Uni

Pacific coast, who last year attended the
University Of California. p. Mcmahon Of
