years old, who was substitute on last

The prospects for highly successful
base ball season at the Catholic University
are exceptionally bright. one of the pc
culiar advantages possessed being that
most of the students here are graduates
of other institutiops, and have been promi-

their respective schools. and therefore, the
material atqhanRl consists of seasoned and
reliable players and athletes. 1t may safe
ly be predicted that the team of '97 at this
university will make very creditable
showing. OF those who played on last sea-
sons varsity team T. .l.McTighe, w. CASH

the university. and while some of them

on the regular team, their presence serves
to give confidence to the management. OF

most promising.
