Game Saturday.

George Washington's next baseball
game will be Saturday with Johns Hop
kins University, ard to get ready for
this game Coach White WIZ give the
players hard practice games today and
tomorrow
More attention will be given to bat
ting, as it is believed that with a little
more practice the Buff and Blue men
viii round into one of the strongest hit
ting teams in Southern college ranks.
In the game with Pennsylvania State
College Saturday the local batters Sc
cured ten hits, several more than either
Virginia or Annapolis made.
Weak InfeId Spots.
So far, the trouble with the Buff and
Blue team has been the infield. In each
game at least one infielder would play
poor ball, while the others played well.
This weak spot has practically lost two
games. Before DR.. White leaves for
Chicago he will endeavor to get the in
field working together in perfect har-
mony. The infielders are all good ball
players. but SO far they have failed to
work together.
Johns Hopkins University has strong
team this year. and as there is greaE
deal OF rivalry between them the game
should attract much attention. In the
football game between the two instf-
tutions neither side scored, but the
George Washington baseball tossers
promise to break the tie, and win their
first college game Saturday.
Asquith at Third.
Coach White will send practically the
same team against Johns Hopkins that
played against Penn State, with the
exception that Hutchinson will pitch
and Asquith may play third base.
Hutchinson is in fine form now, and the
Buff and Blue players think he will
shut the Baltimore boys out. In the
two innings which he pitched against
Pennsylvania not a hit was made.
The lineup Of the locals will be:
Price, center field; Bradley, catcher;
Stevenson, right field: Bieiaski. short
stop; Weber, first base. McMahon. left
field, Orrison or Asquith, third base
Van Welt, second base; Hutchinson
