GREAT TEAMS TO
CROSS BATS HERE.
Georgetown University and Car
Dina Play Here Next
Saturday.
BOTH TEAMS ARE POWERFUL
It Will be Nip and Tuck
From First to
Last.

The greatest college baseball game OF
the year and probably the greatest game
of any Kind in point of public interest VIII
be that between the rival teams OF George
I town University, Washington, and the
University Of North Carolina at Broad
Street Park next Saturday afternoon.
While Georgetown is not strictly regard
Y ed as a Southern university, the rivalry
between this school and the University
of North Carolina both IN baseball ana
foot ball. is grent always. This yenr
both Universities have brilliant baseball
3 teams, and they are so well matched 1t
is Impossible to pick the winner. Both
teams are nearly or quite up TO the pro-
fessional standard, Georgetown has won
+ one game from the men from Chapel Iilli
by a close score, but the Carolinians are
coming here determined to even up mat
ters by winning from the conqueror of
Yale and nearly all thel greater Eastern
college teams. 1t will he Georgetown
first appearance IN Richmond IN a NUM-
her of years They will play their ANNUAL
foot hall game with North Carolina here
in the fall also, and the wcarers of the
Elue and Gray have many friends here
All Getting Interested.
This base ball game is creating no lit.
tile excitement among the enthusiasts OF
the leading college sport From present
indications the enthusiasm aroused prom
Uses to bring together one of the largest
crowds ever present at a college game In
this city.
Judging from the records of both teams
! Georgetown seems to be the favoritc. al
though the Bite and Gray athletes have
been taught a lesson of wisdom, even on
their own grounds by the sluggers from
Chapel Hill. North Carolina has the
reputation at Washington of being slug
ging team, and two years ago the Tar
Heels kept the Georgetown men jumping
over the bank for the home runs that
brought them a handsome victory This
year by close score the Blue and Gray
boys succeeded in landing victory OF
s to 0 after hard fought and anxious
game.
4 The North Carolina men are determined
to break even with the boys from the
we'll known Washington university. No
less determined are the Georgetown boys
to administer another defeat, and add
one more victory to their long list of
triumphs
So far they have won eleven games
out of thirteen played They have met
and defeated some Of the strongest col
lese teams OF the North, prominent among
them being Yale, that defeated Virginia at
Norfolk.
Strong Lineup.
The lineup Of the Georgetown team Is
especially strong, and their strongest will
be here next Saturday. Doing the back
stop work for Georgetown, they have
perhaps one of the best players III the
college world to-day in the person OF
.Hub" Hart. AS a catcher he has no
equal in the college ranks. This is Harris
fourth year in college baseball circles
and he is better to-day than ever. Few
are the players who can be accredited
with stolen base on the ever-alert
Hub" and, although he is strong on
this point Of the game, his batting is his
leading feature He has had more long
safe hits to his credit than any man on
the Georgetowns team which is no small
honor for any player. In the pitching de-
partment, Georgetown is particularly
strong. Aver. who has lost only one
game this season, pitches remarkable
ball. He has not allowed any team,
which he has faced, more than six hits
In a game. and many Of the teams were
fortunate to secure even fewer.
North Carolina also has team of base
ball stars. and n great hitting aggrega-
J on. In the pitching department the Cal
olinians are also strong, and altogether
they will give Georgttown hard game.
