GEORGETOWN AND VIRGINIA.
Special Preparations for the south
eru Championship Games.

From all indications the two baseball
games between Georgetown and the Uni
versity of Virginia on Georgetown Field
Friday and Saturday, April 26 and p, will
evoke more enthusiasm than is usually
seen at such games. Georgetown and
Virginia are old rivals and the Blue and
Grey would rather lose any game of the
college series than be beaten by the
sons of the Old Dominion
Several hundred rooters viii come from
Charlottesville to cheer the virginia team
Extensive preparations for the game
are being perfected at Georgetown
The Georgetown players will be STord-
ed a final opportunity for practice when
they cross bats with the Washington
League team Saturday and again Monday
at Georgetown Field.

BROOKLYN scores an Easy victory
Over the Qunkers Early Games
Develop Weakness of National
Cabs Agents After Star Players.
Although four games were scheduled
for the opening Of the National League
season yesterday. bad weather prevent
ed the contests in New York, Cincin-
natl, and st. Louis. The game at Phil
adeiphia developed the fact that in so
far as two teams Of the National
League are concerned, the detection OF
many of the star players to the AmeTi-
can League has left vacancies that
will be extremely difficult to fill, and as
soon as the managers of the different
clubs realize their Weaknesses whole
sale raid VIII undoubtedly be attempt
ed to induce the best men Of the new
league to come back into the fold. That
this endeavor will be futile is almost
certain. as was discovered by emissaries
of the National magnates when they
tried to get players TO jump their con-
tracts during the past week. 1t is be
Heved that all the contract violatOrs
have left the American ranks and the
remaining players win remain loyal TO
their respective clubs. An agent of the
New York team - reported TO have
made an unsuccessful effort 10 steal
Win Mercer from Washington during
the early part of the week.
That the National League clubs are
by no means as strong as in former
years has been fully demonstrated by
the games with the college and minor
league teams, number of whom have
defeated the wearers Of National uni
forms. This falling off in playing
strength is naturally a disappointment
To the club owners. but confirms the
predictions of the American League
promoters, and there is but little doubt
that the new clubs will put UP a better
article of bali than their older rivals.
The National schedule for today
places Boston at New York, Brooklyn
al Philadelphia. Pittsburg at Cincin-
natl, and Chicago at st. Louis.
