Work I'm the Field.
In fielding Capt. Dick Harley stands
ahead of all members on the team. Ac-
cording to the official score Captain Har-
ley is credited with only two errors in
twenty-three games. while Flynn played in
only two games. Dugan is the only man
on the team who played in a game but
who failed to get either a put out, render
an assist or make an error. McLaugtlin
shows up the poorest of any member on the
team, his fielding average being .735 The
next two men are Lambert and Mcintyre
and they are each nearly ten points ahead
of Mclaughlin. While standing well in the
batting averages, McLaughlin's poor field
ing average was caused more by his wild
throws from third base to first than any,
thing else. Lamberts fielding average
would have been much better had he play
ed entirely in the box, but as he covered
first almost as many times as he PLAYED in
the box his errors at the bag bring him
down considerably. Maloney, the plucky
little catcher, stands third on the list, in
spite of the fact that a good many passed
balls are charged to him.

ular order follow:

HARLEY THE BEST FIELDER

The base ball season at Georgetown Uni
versity has closed for the season, and the
team has practically disbanded. Though
the work this year has been gratifying 1t
does not begin to equal the record Of last
year. when Georgetown's crack team came
near winning the intercollegiate cham
pionship pennant. Considering all in all
the base ball team this year has made q
good showing. though toward the last the
playing of the members was of q very
ragged order This was particularly no
dceable on the northern trip. which was
disastrous to the club. and which disap
pointed many OF the students. Up to the
time Of taking the northern trip the team
managed to play good ball. but of of the
nc me grounds the boys lost their nerve.
and while they batted the ball with their
accustomed vim, most Of the games were
lost through the costly errors made at
critical times during the game.
This season the schedule Of games as
prepared by Manager O'Bnen, embraced
comes out at the end with a record of six
teen victories and seven defeats. This
gives an average Of 100 which Is q good

The batting Of the team this year was
nearly equal to that of last year. and ac-
cording to the batting average as summed
up there are eight men who come above
the $50 mark. Big Mike" Mahoney leads
the batting with an average of .316. He
held this honor last year. He has a record

Next Years Team

Already the makeup of the team for next
year is being talked of, and it is hoped that
the university will be represented by a
strong aggregation. This is Harley's last
year. This will leave the varsity team
without a captain. 1t has practically been
decided to put Dan Mccarthy at the head
Of the team next year, and he will I'M
doubtedly fill the position efficiently. He is
a steady player, a sure hitter and is never
ratified, and has refused several offers from
professional teams. big Mike" Mahoney
will be back again next year, and unless
there are some new students, the same
pitchers will be used next year.
A new catcher will also be probability
Malcney is an excellent ball player and
has made splendid showing, but he is en-
tirely too light to stand the terrific delivery
Of Mahoney. The rector Of the university
has cautioned all of the members of the
base ball team about playing either pro-
fessional or semi-professional ball during
vacation time If any Of the members do
this and are found out, the faculty will
prevent their playing on the team next
year.

VIEWS OF LABOR MEN.
Opinions Expressed on the Action of
the St. Louis Convention


the st. Louis Convention.
One result of the excitement over the re-
publican national convention is that every
enc is talking politics. At labor headquar-
tiers the candidates nominated at ST. Louis
were freely discussed.
General Secretary-Treasurer John W
Hayes of the Knights of Labor said to a
Star reporter: I'm my opinion the knights
of Labor will make every effort in their
power to effect a combination Of all parties
in opposition to the present gold standard.
THE knights of Labor are unit on this
issue. and will man all meetings of all
parties during the present campaign, and
insist on a discussion of the financial ques-
ton in preference to the tariff.
organized labor generally will have
something very pointed to say in the very
near future on the past record of the re-
publican nominee for the vice presidency
Mr.. Hobart.
1--WE have discussed in our board meet
ings, officers meetings, assemblies, &C.,
plans for the coming campaign, by which
expect to make absolutely sure that
when The election is over the laboring
people of this country will have secured
beyond any question fuller recognition of
the rights. interests and needs Of labor
than has ever been conceded them before

Knights of Labor, covering as they do the
WIlOle CouHtiy, every Stdte ana congress

n decisive influence in the election"
MIR. Fl. B. Martin, a member of the ex-
ecutive board of the knights of Labor.
said: What the working people of the
country want is more work and more
wages. They cannot get this without an
increase in the volume of money in circula-
ton. No legislation proposed by any of the
existing parties will give the working peo-
lie of the country more work and more
wages unless there is coupled with it an in
crease in the volume of currency If Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Hobart will satisfy the
working people Of the country that their
election will secure an increase in the
volume of money, they will probably get
their votes. otherwise they will not
President Milford Spohn of the Central
Labor Union said:
Il don't think, from what know of the
sentiment of the working people, that the
ticket will be as popular with them as the
politicians desire. No man nominated upon
a single gold standard platform will Ie-
ceive the hearty support Of that class of
voters who are convinced hat the prevail
ing financial system is largely the cause
of our business depression. Without argu-
ment. many will oppose the ticket because
1t is favored by the money power As a
matter of principle. they will refuse to sup
port the representative Of any financial
principle which is maintained by the mon
ey dealers of Europe and their agents on
Wall street."
Mr.. James F. McHugh, president of the
Federation of Labor. declined to havesany-
thing to say in reference to tine nominees.
