.SEITZ UNLUCKY
IN HIS SUPPORT
Pitching Grand Ball, But
Fielders Are Weak.
GEORGETOWN STILL HOPES
Expects to Beat Harvard Today-Um-
Pire Forced to Reverse Decision
at Yale.

BOSTON. May 25.-Georgetown's ball
players are now in Boston. where today
they will face Harvard. They feel deep
ly chagrined over their defeat by Yale,
as it was unquestionably the easiest
chance thrown away that any club ever
experienced. 1t is a case where the
team does not support Seitz. not inten-
tionally, of course, but just one Of those
peculiar things that take place in base
ball. Seitz has pitched grand ball in
the two games he has pitched those
against Fordham and Yale, and with
any sort of support would have turned
the trick without any trouble. He is
now considered a better pitcher than
Crowley and has more speed. curves,
and styles than the big fellow exhibited
at Georgetown, but unfortunately for
Seitz the team would have it appear
that he lacks nerve and coolness, hence
goes TO pieces at critical times
This alleged failing has not been
shown on the trip. for in the face of the
worst sort of fielding by such good play
ers as Morgan, Dorman. Burns, and
McGettigan he has kept his nerve and
displayed wonderful GOODNESS. and the
games were lost by the players named.
Coach Linehan says as much. and today
he will pitch him again. and will see If
the team gives him the support II
should. il it does, then Harvard viii
be defea ted.

for the Losers.

Sheckles. the crack pitcher for the
Mount Pleasant Congregational Church.

pleasant grounds yesterday for six in
nings. Then. on account Of his sore
hand he was replaced by Harley. who.
in the remaining three innings. allowed
the Mount Vernon boys to get eight
runs. BY punching hits the Orioles
crossed the pan twelve times.
The boys from the Shamrock Isle
seemed to be lost yesterday. and played

Yellow Umpiring.

The trip has been very pleasant up to
this date, excepting the dose of yellow
umpiring received at the hands Of the
umpire at Yates game This party says
his name is Gaffney, but Il is not the old
King OF EMPIRES" John Gaffney. but
man who. IL is alleged. assumes the
name for prestige sake.
He was rank that once he called
Captain Morgan out on a foul ball. the
ball going behind the foul line three
feet. when Catcher Winslow threw il TO
first He persisted in his decision. the
crowd hooted. and Captain Winslow,
seeing the barefacedness Of the act,
made him change, and Morgan was al
lowed 10 take his place as batsman
again. That was but a sample OF the
decisions rendered on Yale field.
The men are all in good condition ana
hope 20 win TIE remainder OF the games
against Harvard today. Holy Cross to-
morrow. Brown on Saturday, and
Princeton on Monday, which, If they do,
will make up for the disgraceful defeat

Hair experts say that If women keep
on wearing pompadours it is only a
question of time before they become
bald. To be sure, it will not be quite
so far reaching as mans, but bad
enough to destroy their good looks. As
a forehead reaching 10 the middle of
the crown is not considered mark OF
beauty, it behooves women to watch
a lectle OUT for the receding hair line.
One way of preventing its becoming
noticeable is when arranging the hair
for the night to brush 1t in the oppo-
site direction from which it has been
worn all day. This rests the hair and
keeps 1t from becoming warped in one
direction.
