prominent baseball events OF the local

town Field on Tuesday next, Cornell is
looked upon as the strongest college team
OF the year. 1t has captured nearly all
the games it has pla yed in this season.
Tt has defeated Princeton. but fell twice
before Pennsy. AS Georgetown was de-
feated by Princeton and won twice from
| Pennsy, Tuesdays game will give a strong
pointer as to which is the stronger Of the
two teams.
Though Capt. Harley's men have had no
games at home for two weeks they have
had hard daily practice and show re-
markable improvement in team work. Ma
honey is in prime shape and is deter
mined to give the Ithacan slusgers but
few hits. Lambert will share the work
with Mahoney.
Georgetown hopes to win. 1t has lost
but two games this season, certainly an en-
viable record. considering the strong teams
the nine has met and Capt. Harley feels
confident that his men will suffer no more
defeats this season. &.
Cornell has a large following 10 this
city and manager O'Brieu expects an i'm
mense attendance to witness the game
between the giant teams.

ond base; Mccarthy, center field: Mahoney,
pitcher; Lambert first base; Mclaughlin,
third base; Reardon, shortstop; Lamb,

it defeated by score of 27 to 49,
J. D. Delaney, the crack miller of the
Varsity has gone away. During his stay
he made many friends and his departure
is much felt by the students, both on ac-
count of his excellent character aud his
athletic abilities.
The Rev. DIR. Stafford will deliver a
lecture on May 2S, under the auspices of
the athletic association His subject
will be one that will interest all, as this
lecturers choice is always a happy and
appropriate one, and he will undoubt-
cdly draw out large audience.
