ORTIZ TO COACH VIRGINIA
Manager Somerville Announces Seized
ule-Council, Star Pitcher and
Football Player, Leaves College.

Manager Jack" Somerville. Of the
University OF Virginia baseball team.
has announced his schedule for the sea-
son Of 1894. and Washington lovers of
college baseball viii be glad 10 see
that the Virginians and the BAH tossers
OF old Harvard will cross bats in Wash
ington this year, the teams being sched-
ulcd to meet here on Monday April Is
Both colleges have many followers
here. and, as they always put up a good
game, large attendance will mark
their appearance in the city. They have
not met in Washington in two years.
and II is curious TO note that while Nir-
glnia has more than once beaten Yale,
Princeton. and Pennsylvania in base
ball. not only on her own grounds. but
on the home grounds Of each of the
other teams as well. she has never been
able to down Harvard. Upon one oc-
casion. at Charlottesville. Harvard and
Virginia played eleven innings to a tie
the game being called on account OF
9arkness. with the score standing to 1;
but that Is as near 10 victory as Nir-
ginia ever came when facing Harvard
players.
Twenty eight Games
The Virginia schedule calls for twen-
ty-eight games. most OF which will he
played on the home grounds Brown.
Lafayette Harvard. Yale. Isehigh Penn
sylvania. and Cornell are the big teams
she viii play. The Southern teams on
lliE SNItuult are AllndNNltc. university
OF Maryland. Johns Hopkins St. Johns.
Hampden-Sidney. Virginia Polytechnic,
and last. but not least, the University
of North Carolina. with whom there are
three games arranged for the champion
ship of the South.
Last year Carolina took two straight
games from Virginia without any
trouble. and followed il I'D in the
autumn by taking the football cham
pionship Of the South. Virginia cares
more for her Carolina games than she
does for all the rest put together. and
viii bend every effort to wipe out the
defeat she sustained at the hands of
her rival last year. To this end the
bali player. have been engaged as
coach to the teNn. The departure from
college of Council, the crack tackle and
pitcher, who left few days ago. has
crippled Virginia materially. Council
had trouble with his studies. and the
first thing his fellow-students knew he
WAS packed up and making for the
train.
Pitchers Needed
With Council gone the pitching de-
partment of Nirginia's team will be
weakened. and Orth will be asked to
give his special attention to the pitchers
There is some good material for him to
work on. but most Of the men are lack
ing In experience. With such a good
man as Orth over them. however. the
Virginia twirlers should develop to
point OF safety by the time the big
games are played. The following is the
