the interest in the work, and the hope OF
having open competitions must be deferred
till next fall.
Prof. hUran is on hand TO meet his classes
seIni-weekly, and has a fair attendance.
Baseball has the call at present, and all
interest is being ceHtered in that feature.
There is lots of good material from
which TO draw a team. The work OF the
players in the game on Thursday against
the Washingtons was not satisfactory to
those who played, and the very cold
weather had much TO do with that. as
the team has had no practice on account
OF the state of weather.
II seems 10 be quite q settled matter
that s. P. House, the efficient manager
OF last years team, will not serve again
in that capacity. His business engage
ments are such that it would be impossible
for him to give the team the necessary
time and attention.
WASHINGTON OUTING CLUB.
The athletic committee OF the Washing
ton Outing Club is having the baseball
diamond at its grounds near lexington
put i'll first-clasS order for the season.
The club viii not become o member
OF either OF the lea CUES, as it prefers to
play match games with such teams as 1t
ma Y select.
Capt. Harry King is selecting a team

II ReiZenstein, Scrivner, Searle, Dam

ance being white clothes ami red stock
ings. Practice will begin next week.
Field and track athletics viii receive
considerable attention during this sea
son, and the club has several athletes
who Will appear in nearby events.
Several members OF the club have
expressed satisfaction at the prospect OF
there being pool League, and there is
no doubt that the club will be represented.
New tables have been secured, and are
quite a drawing card. The club has q
| number OF very strong pool players, who
would make il interesting for all cCmers.
Among these are Abe and Harry King, s.
! Franc, Farlee, Stony We'll, and B. Nord-
iinger.
The club held a meeting during the
past week and transacted large amount
OF important business The reports of
Officers showed the club to be in flour
ishng condition. Six new members were
elected.
A series OF Ladies Days will begin as
soon as the warm season opens
The club will celebrate its second ami
versary early i'll May, andit is proposed by
the Officers to make it u brilliant affair.
The celebration will take the form OF q
big smoker which il is promised will
outdo all previous efforts i'll this line.
Immediately preceding the smoker the
annual election OF officers and govern ors
will be held. As the present staff of
officers has served the Cldb well and
| faithfully, it is quite probable that they
will succeed themselves
The club has extended the use OF its
hallfield 10 the Catholic University team
| for its daily practice.
GEORGETOWN COLLEGE.
The work of the baseball team of George
| town College, while it has not been up TO the
standard its admirers hoped for, has been
| by no means discouraging. ON the con-
| trary, the team has had ample excuse for
| its losing streak.
4 The game with Princeton was brilliant
| contest, the fr;GhtfuI condition of the
| weather considered. The team played
! against big odds, especially in the last game,
| in which was set limit upon its time for
| playing the game. The men were under a
! great strain to do all they could in the short
| time allowed, having the fact before them
| all the time that q certain boat would leave
| at a certain time, and that to miss it meant
| the loss OF a chance against Old Els team,
which it completely laid in the dust OF defeat
/ last season.
| Notwithstanding all this the team played
| magnificent uphill game, and at the emf of
/ its half of the seventh and last inning had
/ made six runs and came within one of tieiDS
| score which seemed impossible ever to
| reach. With another inning TO play, the
| blue and gray would have Won As it was
| it quit with the score OF IL to o gainst it,
| and shouid have full credit for its excellent
! work and score.
| The mistake made, and which Undoubt-
] edly was unavoidable, was the attempt to
| play two such important games so close to-
| gether. 1t did not give the men enough
chance to recuperate between the strug-
! giles, ,anditcertainly weakened big Aahoney,
| the inyincible pitcher, for whatever chance
he might have had against Yale. No
| pitcher can officiatc in two such important
| games two days i'll succession and 10 him
| self justice.
| Reardon has covered himself with glory
| He has done all that was hoped fer him
| and is playing a stron game at short and
| hitting like fiend. Flcmn is playing a
! good game and Lambert like wise.
| Capt. Harley can have no regrets over the
