EIGHTEEN MEN on
GEORGETOWN SQUAD
Graduate Coach Apperious
Makes First Cut.
FIVE PITCHERS RETAINED
More Than One Candidate for Every
Position - First Game
Saturday.
FIVE PITCHERS RETAINED

The first cut of the season in the
Georgetown baseball squad was made
yesterday afternoon. when the number
OF men was reduced from thirty-hve to
eighteen picked players.
The candidates for the Blue and Gray
team have been at practice on Prep
field for two weeks, in which time Grad
uate Coach Apperious has obtained a
good idea of the men available, and he
is now ready to form the team which is
to meet the leading universities of the
; country during the coming two months.
Pitchers Improve.
When the men first reported it ap-
peared as though the pitching staff
would be very weak this season, but
Coach ApperiGus has picked five men
/ who have shown up especially well, and
from these he expects to find two who
! will bear the brunt of the twirling.
From last year Titus is the only vet
eran remaining, but White, Aver, Bren-
non. and Hanway have all shown up
well and should be able TO hold their
own in the big games which the Blue
and Gray will play during Easter week.
For first base Mudd and Larkin are
the principal candidates, while McGet-
tigan. Hanretty. Scheller. Curry, and
Fleming are the five men from among
whom a second baseman and shortstor
/ will be chosen.
Morgan at Third
Captain Morgan will again be seen al
third base, 1si1ile the catching will be
done by Hart or Martell
KeaEe, Burns, and Smith are the three
outfielders who have been retained, but
in case this trio is weak at hitting, some
of those who do not make good at tho
other positions will be given a show il
the outer gardens.
Georgetown will open the season or
next Saturday afternocNAt Georgetown

cultural College.

COMMENT s. BOWLING RACING s. ATHLETICS g BOXING
Students Want Peace
BetWeen Universities
Georgetown and Virginia Getting Together.
DR.. Lambeth Insists Upon Eligibility Code
Must Know Players in Advance.

Sentiment among the students Of both
institutions seems to be undoubtedly in
favor of a resumption of athletic rela-
lions between Georgetown and Virginia,
and the college men are earnestly hoping
that peace will result from the joint
committee now meeting in progress in
Charlottesville. Va.
The two schools have been at daggers'
points since the famous football game In
1901, when Georgetown beat Virginia in
the last half minute of play by a score
Of II to IT, After that game the Virginia
college paper remarked that between the
halves the Georgetown players We're
sprinkled with holy water, and this
facetious treatment of a religious sub
iect was given by Georgetown as a
reason for cutting away from its South
ern rival. Recently Virginia apologized
for the untimely remark, and steps were
at once taken to get together.
Want Breach Healed.
Last week a number of students al
Virginia were interviewed, among them
some of the most prominent In athletics,
and not one of them appeared averse TO
going against Georgetown again in all
branches of sport The same was true of
the Washington institution. and with
the undergra duates in this mood 1t Is
almost safe to predict that the breach
will be shortly healed. DR.. W. A. Lam

COMMISSION EVIL
MUST Be STOPPED
New Yo1kers Commend Action of
Washington Jockey Club in Bar
rins Grandstand Touts.

NEW YORK, March 20.-The fact that
the Washington Jockey Club has decided
to keep the betting commissioners out
of the grandstand has caused furry
among the individuals who have been
waiting all winter for chance at this
graft on the New York tracks again
this year
1t was a common practice last season
for the grandstand agents to openly
violate the law by recording wagers in
such a manner on the programs of their
patrons that they really handed over
what was equivalent to pool ticket
used in the old days Several OF the
best keown racing men, some Of them
officials of the Jockey Club. have repeat
edly denounced this evil, and have also
predicted that unless 1t is checked there
will be serious trouble for the race
tracks some of these days.
The betting ring is the place to make
bets. The grandstand is the place to
see the races. Why there should be

who come to the track day in and day
out, remains one of the problems that
are left to the turf governors to solve.
Somebody got a rake-off last year for
this privilege.
The racetracks professed to know
something of it, and even posted signs
in conspicuous places, prohibiting per.
sons from acting as commissioners. The
bookmakers were all kicking last fall
and so were the grandstand patrons
themselves, there being a general cry

eight men on US that we never heard OF
before. If we permitted that we would

the universities to be OF such nature
that If either becomes suspicious OF a
player belonging to the other, all II VIII
be necessary to do will be to telegraph
or write those suspicious. and be sure
that the mans faculty committee Will
make thorough investigation.
This thing of knowing who we are
TO play is the central point around
which the entire question revolves. and
unless that is definitely and decisively
settled, We may as well stop discussing
the matter About the other subjects In
the agreement Virginia will meet
be no trouble. Most anything reasonable
will suit US.
Virginia Liberal.
In regard to the four-year rule we
might take. say a list of 100 colleges in
the United States which might be called
really collegiate institutions from a
athletic standpoint, and man who has
played at any one of them would have
that time counted on his four years al
Virginia and Georgetown. This would
cut out small colleges like Washington
and Lee. Randolph-Macon and others
which certainly cannot be classed In
athletics with either of us.
If we do get together and play agar
l should think it would be a good idea
for Georgetown and Virginia to play
three games of baseball and two of foot

ELKTON, Md. March 00.-Oregon M.
Dennis, secretary of the Maryland State
Game and Fish Protective Association,
estimates that fully 30 per cent of the
cartridges and other kinds of game birds
In the State persisted the past three
months.
Reports from the various deputy game
wardens throughout the State show that
this winter has been the most severe
on the game in this State for thirty
years or more In speaking Of the birds.
Mr. Dennis said:
1T certainly has been the worst year
on birds for long time. and / am con-
fident that had It not been for the as
sistance given the birds by the farmers
and others interested in the protection
of game throughout the State the loss,
after such q severe winter. would De
much greater. Not alone have the birds
suffered, but the rabbits. too, have felt

indeed. where a debutante about
to give a dinner TO other debu-

DEAF; YET HEAR IN cLAMoR
Strange Physical Paradox Among
People Who Are Averss
in Quiet Places.

Persons who have worked
years in mills and shops develop
peculiarity Of hearing that is para
remarked the manager
of big manufacturing establish
ment TO Philadelphia Record
writer.
They are almost deaf at home
and wonderfully acute Of hearing
in the workroom. Ina quiet place,
where the ordinary tone Of voice
is distinct and sharply defined
above all other sounds, they have
TO be almost yelled at by others
conversing with them. and vet in
the din of mill they can carry on
a conversation where the average
person could mel hear shout.
Often visitor comes here to
see friend at work, and while the
visitor half the time is unable to
hear his own remarks above the
racket, the worker catches the
words without difficulty. Yet if
the two were in room away from
the mill it would be the mill en-
ploye who would have trouble in
going ahead with the converse
zion, unless loud speech was re
sorted to.
"Away from the clarter Of ma
chinery, to which his ears have
been accustomed for years, The
mill hand is more on less deaf but
In the midst of the rumble his sense
OF hearing is very keen It's odd
but it's a fact"
