THREENORE HOME GAMES
FOR BLUE AND GRAY
To Meet Eastern A. c., Gallaudet,
and Columbian.

The Georgetown University baseball
team, which met defeat for the fourth
time in succession Saturday in Balti-
more at the hands, OF the Maryland
Athletic Club players. has three home
games to play before leaving Washing
ton to go on its Northern trip. The
three games will be seen this week
The first one is with the strong
Eastern Athletic Club team of Wash
ington. Graduate Manager Thompson
arranged the contest more for practice
The loss of Saturdays game is attribut-
ed TO lack of practice.
The Fasteners played a nip and tuck
game with the Bureau Athletic Club
nine on the American League Park
grounds few days ago, and as the team
is fast and shifty one good game
is looked for by the large number of
followers of both teams. The lineup
of the teams will In all probability be
like this:
Ceorgetown-Hart, catcher; Bowling,
first base; Scheller, second base; Nor
gan. third base; Dorman. shortstop:
Thompson, left field; Keane, center field;
Apperius. right field; Fay, Drill. and
Seitz, pitchers.
Eastern Athletic Club-Gates. catcher;
King, first base; Hughes, second base;
WEIGH, third base: Hook. shortstop;
Glutzbach. left field: Collifiower. center
field; Bradley. right field; Wahler and
Beckett, pitchers.
On Wednesday Georgetown locks horns
with the Gallaudet nine, which won from
the st. johns lads at Annapolis yester-
day 4 great deal of interest is always
manifested in the contests between the
wearers of the Blue and Gray and the
Mutes, and as the Mutes have a faster
team than ever this season 1t is believed
that a larger crowd VIII turn out 10

will send in one OF his best slabmen to
do the hard work, while Escrich will in
all probability look after the silent
players interests in the box.

cipal games on the Georgetown schedule
will be played Thursday and a record

Records for a Week.

The Senator'S work for the past week
was decided improvement over that OF
the one previous. Their batting was
weak. This may account for their bad
showing. They won two games and lost
four. Their fielding. however. was gilt

of .s54
Robinson probably showed more i'm
proyement in the field than any other
Statesman. He accepted 80 out OF the
81 chances that came his way.
Martin surprised everyone. even Loft
tus, by his excellent work at second
base. This youngster easily led Wash

CLOSE, EXCITING CONTEST

tomac to See Sturdy Oarsmen
Battle for Supremacy.

In mile race with the Potomac
Boat Club crew, on the Potomac River
yesterday, the Georgetown varsity eight
showed that it would undoubtedly be a
factor in the Poughkeepsie race, on
June Is, and that the Middies' crew Will
have to do some tall rowing in order to
keep from tasting defeat at the hands
of the Blue and Gray lads Saturday. The
Georgetown boys finished four liberal
lengths in front of the Potomacs, beat
ing the second Georgetown crew by a
little more than half a length. The
Georgetown Preparatory School crew
was also entered In the regatta, and had
a generous handicap. but the killing pace
was too great for them and they finished
back of the Potomacs.
The race was rowed from the Three
Sisters" trio of massive rocks stand
ing in the center of the Potomac just
above the Aqueduct Bridge. The course
extended down the river to point oppo-
site the Potomac boat house. A large and
distinguished assemblage saw the race
and waxed enthusiastic over the spirited

tomac boat houses were well filled by the
followers OF the crews and the AQueduct

The Georgetown launch Tyro, with
Coach Dempsey aboard, and a number
of outriggers, tours, and other craft,
were on the water and occupied posi-
lions on the side of the course. All OF
the members of the Georgetown faculty,
including the rector and the athletic
representative, occupied seats either on
the porch of the boatheuse or on the
launch.
The regatta was arranged by Capt.
Murray Russell and Coach Dempsey, of
the Blue and Gray crew. in order that
they might get line on the varsity and

Saturday. Hitherto the Georgetown

other. The Potomac crew Is strong

close race with the famous Vesper crew
last year. One or two of its members
have rowed on Georgetown crew at va

tice this spring to speak of.
