EaS1 EhN "A ~ tiAS D.
The mana cement of the ball team cf
the Eastern Athletic Club is making
changes for the good of the team as fast
as they appear necessary. Harry Cauli-
flower, the crack local outficlder, has
joiucd the club, and Will play his old pO-
sition and will materially strengthen the
team.
Thomas Ellis, jr., the crack infie!dcr,
is fast rounding 10, and Will shortly he
able to play his usual strong game.
p. Quglcy has tcen permanently placed
OH first, which position he is playing TO
the managers satisfaction.
The exhibition given by the gymnastic
team on the parallel bar at the benefit of
the Vigilant Athletic Club was undoubted-
ly the hit OF tie evening, and Fred Wies-
bader, the tcams instructor. was frequent
ly complimcntcd on his good work. He
will probably give an exhibition OF bis
teams work In the near future in on ne OF the
downtown halls.
The excursion TO be given on June Is
promises 10 be successful financially as
well as a brilliant social event.
The bicyciists continue 10 give frequent
runs. On Wednesday evening the clu,
had ,he pleasure of a visit from Il dele
cation OF fifty of the United Wheelmen of
this city.

morning di -OU u tiOth
GEORGETOWN ATHLETICS.
The absence OF the bah team and OF the
track and field men n Berkeley Oval served
during the past week to make matters in the
athletic line at Georgetown Varsity very
quiet.
The baseball team was not as success
ful on its northern trip as its admirers
had hoped for. It's defeat at the hands
of Brown and Holy Cross was especially
CALLING to the students here, andSad ness and
gloom pervaded all the halls and corri-
dorS OF the big gray building.
The loss of these games putS the blue and
gray out of the race for the championship,
and then the fact that George Mahoney was
in the box when Holy Cross won was tie
most disCnmforting. as it was the first
game III which the great pitcher lost. But
then he is not hlamcd
He has done So much excellent work this
aud last season that many good excuses are
made for him. These should not be neces-
sary as one man cannot win game: the
team should be blamed for the defeat. That
he was hit hard there is no doubt, but
| every man has an off day, and George had
lis Tuesday This is no joke!

| popular one and seems TO have been the

4 getic and is quite a business man, and III
