Rockville, II; Eastern High School, 4.
The Rockville Academy boys, on their
own grounds, Saturday, gave the Eastern
High School team warm reception, the
latter being defeated by the score of IA to
T. The Rockville boys had on their batting
clothes and drove two of the visiting pitch-
ers to the tall timber In addition they
also flelded well. The Easterns. on the
other hand, could do nothing with their
bats. thirteen Of them striking out and but
SIX safeties were placed to their credit.
Base Ball Notes.
If Georgetown can defeat Brown on the
coming trip it is more than probable that
the blue and gray will claim the college
championship again this season.
A special from this city says that Man.
ager Shetzline of the Philadelphia club has
made Shortstop Moran of Georgetown a
fiattering offer to Join the Quakers. Moran
is undoubtedly due for major league ranks,
and if he can couple-up with a first-class
team SO much the better for him.
Buck" Freeman secured two doubles and
triple Saturday. while Barry, who played
short instead of Herman Long, was ex-
ceedingly spry both on the bases and in
the field.
Next Saturday the Georgetowns play their
first game away from home, facing the
formidable Tigers at Princeton and a battle
royal should follow.
A majority of the wiseacres of the east
ern press claim that the Cincinnati team is
playing ahead of its gait losing sight of
the fact that Manager Aliens men are vim
ming games with their bats. The Reds
pitching staff is one of the best in 1he
league and they have not been working
up to their right gait. When the entire out
| fit begins to work together it will be we'll
for the other seven clubs to watch then,
very closely, as they are playing heady ball
Comiskey says that ne will keep Tommy
Dowd on first base regularly. The young
gentleman of the lurid garment the pink
coated darling of the Tim Hurst tea party,
is not hitting as he should in the American
League.
At Chicago Tebeau got after Childs the
first day. but Cupid handed him a hot one
and Patsy shut up. Go back to your
bench says Childs. Its a good thing for
you Muggsy McGraw didn't slide out here,
or you'd be twisting brakes on some rail-
| road" Tebeau didn't know how to take it
and closed the josh.
Donlin is a wax baby in the mitt of a
left-handed pitcher. That Mike secured one
hit off Waddell does not speak well for
Rube. For good hitter, Donlin is the
worst that ever happened when he stacks
up against the left-handers. But he was a
| mascot. His team won the first game he
played in.
Wise Willie Joyce. the omniscient sage, is
about with a chip on the shoulder where his
good wing once hung. ans gritty roll in
his pocket, which he yearns to bet upon his
partner Tebeaus ability to land his band
| in premier position. The wisdomful William
wants to l for his ''cush.' Considering
that poor Charley Nichols has about passed
in his pitching checks. that Hughes will not
join Brooklyn; that Pittsburg looks like a
very bogus band, and that none of the
other clubs have got much to show it does
| not look like a bad wager for Bill, though
one week ago it was $50 to 80 cents that
Tebeau would do well to land in the first
four. With McGraw doing the stunt around
