take results as a matter OF fact. Compli-
ments and congratulations are again in Or
der and Captain Mccarthy and Coach Phil
King are being overwhelmed with them.
Next Saturday will see the last home
game except the possible one scheduled for
May 2 with Virginia on the return of that
team from its Northern trip.
Hafford had slight off day last Thurs
day, but he has played such brilliant ball
right along that his errors of omission and
commission were easily forgiven long be-
fore the next day. Bache's homer with
two on bases would have brought him glory
enough for the day. but he was not salts
fed until he had rendered his full days
work and that of the most profitable kind.
for he easily outwitted and outpitched the
much -heralded Mr.. Fitz, of Harvard.
Young White increased his already great
popularity last week by winning from
Pennsylvania and Virginia. shutting the
former great team out and allowing its
usual great hitters but five hits.
Kenna is another of the stars who de-
serves special mention. He has developed
into a clever fielder and as hitter he can
always be depended on to hit when it is
most needed.
Walsh. well what q pity it was there
was one out, But for that deplorable cir
cumstance he would have had the honor of
starting the first triple play ever accom-
plished on these grounds and one of the
few the city has ever witnessed.
Between times the track men take prac
tice and Trainer Foley has large string
of candidates, new and old, out on the Gin
derpath daily. Mulligan and his team will
leave here on next Friday evening for
Philadelphia where on the following even
ing will be held the great indoor track
meet Of the University of 'Pennsy." and
of which relay races. originated by Pennsy.
will be prominent feature. Mulligan will
appear in two of the short sprint events
and is in shape even now to make a great
showing. He ought to win the sixty-yard
event. 1t has not been decided who will
be sent as running mates to ''Mul'' in the
relay event.
AS yet there has been nothing definite
learned as to the prospects of the Column
bian- Virginia Georgetown open track and
! field meet, spoken of last Sunday as pos
| sibility for May.
Columbia Athletic Club.
In view of the fact that the High School
boys showed such marked improvement in
their rowing from the Columbia Club
boathouse last summer, the management
will more than likely extend to those will
ing youngsters the privileges. under certain
conditions. of the boathouse this summer.
Lieutenant Hecox will promptly get to
work with the material at hand and work II
into shape for early club regattss, as well
as for later matches. II is scarcely prob

of town this summer.
Stitt finished with an average of 153 in

among the leaders.
