run at the n Y a. C. games last season,
has, much to the regret OF his classmates
and the running colony, returned TO his
home in Philadelphia, on account of a
throat throuble from which he has been
suffering for some time. The running team
viii be considerably weakened by his alb
sence He is a hard, fast and honest run
ner.
Wefers. the king of sprinters, is grad
ually recovering from the bad strain in
Cured in the last Boston a. c. games. In
the light exercise taken yesterday, jog
ging the quarter. lie showed that he was
recovering his great form.
Trainer Foley, whose judgment rarely
goes amiss. has picked Prince as phenom.
Heis atpresel6in in fine form andseemS likely
to come below 52 seconds for the quarter
mile. He is going well and has good
motion and stride and stays well.
Naele aud Kincaid are going in for the
''halr'' and quarter and promise to make
a good showing. Broderick has been laid
off for breaking training. Manager Walsh
will not tolerate trifling among the men in
training and should the most likely man
on the team tiSobey instructions he Will be

field meet.
The baseball team is making splendid
showing After three splendid victories
from the Gallaudet, Johns Hopkins, and
Vermont teams, 1t went up against the
Washington team and played the stiffest
games so far in the professionals prellml-
nary series. The latter speak in the most
complimentary terms OF the splendid in
dividuaI and team work of the Georgetown
boys.
The unfortunate accident to First Base
man Daw son came at a very bad time, as it
will undoubtedly prevent his playing in
the nearby scheduled games. He is ster-
ling player, and his excellent work en-
the initial bag and at the bat will be much
missed by the team Smith, who is one OF
the best utility men Georgetown has ever
had, is playing first in great shape, and
covering himself with glory. Mcintyre is
PLAYING third up to his usual high standard,
and in the same class is Home-run Reardon,
whois pla ying short in De Montreville style.
The whole team is playing excelenty
well and the trio of twirlers have so far
exceeded all expectations. Capt Nc
Carthy is TO be congratulated upon the
great work of his men, among whom he
is leading light.
The sight of Big Mike Mahony in the
catcher's position in Wednesdays game
with the Washingtons, reminded one OF
the great work done by the big one in the
'94 and '95 teams. He is still great
PLAYER and sticker. The varsity was
fortunate in having him here, just at
time when he was most needed, as little
Maloney, the nervy backstop, was laid
up with a badly split hand. The team
will be in regular playing form with all
men in their regular positions in the games
to be played the coming week
The next game scheduled Is Tor neS'
