The candi Fatcsforthct eamhave pTactiCed
hard wien the weather allowed. ald il is
quite probable from thr showing made hy
them ulat the final makeup OF the team will
be as follows Maloney. catcher with
C9nacH as substitute; Mahoney. Lambert
and Tracey. pitchers; Lambert is par
ticuIaFiy promising. and has wonderful!
speed AMI cxeeI!eat control He and Ma
honey will also alternate mt first base as
both are strong batters. and will he needed.
Fleming Will probably I'll! second and Rear
don will fin McGrath's place at short. Nc
LaUghiin, a clever fielder, will no doubt
cover thir!.
In the 0utfieid the team will be espe
cially strong, with Capt. Harley in left;
Mccarthy center and either Lambe or Elem
ing 1T right field.
The substitutes viii probably be Daw-
son I'D CuEWcH, catehers; Dugan at third,
and MeIntire. Keane and Dillon in the field.
The first game viii be in the nature of Il
practice game with GaIlaudet College On
the 25th instant.
The season will open with University
of Vermont, on March Is.
Mahoaey has put IN plenty of hard prac-
tice indoors and will no doubt prove as
iRvincible as last year; his arm Is IN excel
lent condition. and he can be relied upon
to pitch in all important games.
The election of Robert Dick Douglass,
the mana ger of field and track athletics, to
the vice presidency of the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association, in New York last week,
was very gratifying 10 all the students.
Invitations have been received To at
tend the Holy Cross indoor meet, TO be
held al Worcester on the 18th instant, and
to the annual field and track games OF
Harvard for May s. ct which latter there
viii be open relay races. As Georgetown
VIII be represented in the "Pennsy'' games
or March 20, it is not probable that the
invitations win be accepted.

NEW SUMMER RESORT.
Riverside Park to BE Made Attractive
for Warm Weather Outings.

There is to be another amusement resort
opened this coming summer for the enter
tainment of Washington pleasure seekers.
The situation is Il beautiful spot near Mount
Vernon, heretofore known as Riverside
Park. As soon as the weather moderateS
large force of workmen are to be put TO
work making an entire renovation of the
premises. A twenty-siX room hotel has
recently been erected there with large
cafe, and there will, in addition to this, be
a dancing pavilion, ying horses. bowling
alleys and every conceivable device for
the amusement of patrons.
A feature of the new pleasure ground
will be a SO eco oTchestrion, already CON
tracted for ana Is now being constructed
To furnish musefor the grounds and dancing
pavilion. Another novelty will be an
Open air stage, equipped with scenery and
accessories upon which the best vaudeville
talent procurable willperform every evening.
The entire place will be lighted by electric
ity and the resort will he reached by the
new electric road, after a twenty five
minute ride.
Wibert K. Melville, last season with The
Burglar" has been enga ged as assistant
manager and speaks hopefully of the out
! look. Il believe" said Mr.. h1>tville, that
