LOCAL COLLEGE TEAMS.
Program of GeOrgetown's Northern
Trim.


The two games with the University of
Virginia, the second of which was played
Saturday, are the last scheduled 20
be played by Georgetown University team
on the home grounds. Manager O'Brien
will take his young colleg!ans to a north
ern latitude, where they will try to sweep
everything before them. In the games in
the south Georgetown has acquired an
enviable record Out of the fifteen col
lege games played only two have been lost,
and these to Yale and Princeton. The lat
ter game was lost through hard luck The
blue and gray had the game virtually
won when they had to leave to catch the
beat for Old Point, where in a crippled
condition, Yale succeeded in pulling off a
hard-fought victory.
For this good record Capt. Harley de-
serves the lions share of credit. Hard and
faithful work on his part has brought the
team of good players down to the condition
OF harmonious team work. George Ma
honey has been the whole strength of the
nine. With this giant twrler in the box
the men have played a steady and clear
game, and for the most part have given him
gocd support Maloney, who has acted as
ms back stop, is young catcher, and new
10 such swift drives as Big Mike sends
over The plate, and to face which 1t takes
steady catcher. But he is a SANDY"
catcher and stands up behind the plate
like old Stager
WHO mas covered second bag,
comes from good cd New England, where
they grow ball players. His work has
been wonderful for clean ard quick field
ing He outshines any one in the inffeld
MS style reminding one of Capt Mahoney's
work of last year
Mccarthy in center field is an old
stand by whose ball playing grows better
the longer he plays. This season his stick
work has been especially good. McLaugh-
I'm, Tracy and Lamb fill the remaining
positions in satisfactory style. Lambert
the substitute pitcher, has been On the
bench for week past, but will be able to
go north all right. He has been seriously
III with throat trouble, and is just recov-
erlng. He has good speed excellent con-
troll and his abilities have been demon
strated in many games.
The first college game on the northern
trip will be played with Holy Cross at
Worcester, Mass, May &c. This team has
been beaten only by Brown University this
season and claims the Intercollegiate cham
plonship The rivalry is strong between
Georgetown and Holy Cross and this game
is looked upon with much Interest on both
sides.
The next game is with Brown University,
May y. Brown is acknowledged champion
up to this stage Of the game. The Provi-
dence boys have twice beaten Yale and
Harvard, while Holy Cross and University
OF pennsylvania have also succumbed to
them. Brown and Georgetown have not
met for two years, and the game will
prove interesting. Last year Brown Uni
versity gave the New York Giants the
hardest tussel of any college team in the
country.
May % Wesleyan will try conclusions
with Georgetown at Middletown, Conn
Wesleyan defeated Dartmouth and has put
UP strong games against Yale and Har-
ward. Cornell viii have its second whack
