SHOULD Be FAST

ing for Positions.
PITCHERS SEEM WEAKEST
Nine Will Be Picked to Meet Maryland
Aggies Saturday a Week.
The Squad.
PITCHERS SEEM WEAKEST

AT me emu OF the GTSJ week Oh pFdE-
tiee some estimate can be formed of the
rrota bic strength of the baseball team
which is to represent Georgetown during
the coming season.
Graduate Coach Apperious has had the
squad out on South field since WedneS-
day and, with the exception of last
Thursday, the weather has been such
that the men have been able to do con
siderable muscle iimbering work which
will fiji them for the harder training
which Is TO come.
Thirty-Five Candidates.
On the first day twenty-one men re-
ported, but that number has gradually
increased until at present there are
about thirtE-fiVe candidates enrolled and
from these tentative team must be
picked for the opening game with the
Maryland Agricultural College at
Georgetown field on next Saturday week.
While the general outlook for a strong
team Is rather encouragi ging, the greatest
weakness seems TO he in the pitching
staff There is only one experieaced
lwirler from last years team, and that
is Stanley Titus Titus did a good share
of the pitching last year, and he may
be relied uDon to work in many Of the
big games, but to find other pitchers to
help him out is one of the principal
problems that confronts Coach APP
perious.
Fay Veteran.
John Fay. who was member of the
varsity teams for three seasons up to
last year, is in the law school. but as
yet he has not reported. and it is hardly
thought that he will have time to try
for the team. Healy, Drennon, and
Simon, members of last springs Re
serves. are expected to make a strong
bid for the box. Aver, Hanway, and
White, freshmen. are pitchers of con-
siderable experience, as is Peter Mayock,
who comes to tize university from Holy
Cross.
Hub Hart. last years regular catcher,
is again candidate for backstop, to-
gether with Martell and Carroll, last
springs substitutes, and Mudd, who
rowed on the varsity crew last June.
Bowling Graduated.
The graduation of Dowling, who play
ed first base for four years, has caused
a gap at the initial corner, but there are
a number of candidates trying for the
position. Larkin, who entered George
town from Cornell. where he played On
the ball team; Farabough, law school
man who halls from Notre Dame. and
MahcneA. @x-captain of the football
team, arc being given tTyout at Dowl-
ing S old stand.
For second base. the most prominent
candidates are Kane. a new man. and
Scheiier, who played the position a part
of last season. Henretty. who alter
mated at second base In 1904. is now in
the Medical School. but as yet ha has
not reported as a cand1date Tor the
team
Dorman. the shortstop for two years,
received his degree last June. so there
will be a vacancy between second and
| third base. McGettigan, member OF
the team for two years, has been switch
ed over. and is being given work out
at shortstop together with Curry and
Fleming, two freshmen
Capt Jim Morgan. who is starting his
fourth year on the team, is expected to
make third base without much trouble
| but it Will be no easy matter to fill the
outfield with q hard hitting and good
fielding trio. Sanz Apperious, the best OF
last years outfieiders, is debarred by th4
four-year rule. but Keane, centerr field
.er. and Burns, right fielder. are agaia
available. Burke andNGeorge are among
/ the new candidates for the gardens
! The series of two or three games with
the Washington club have not been de
| finitely arranged. but they will probably
| be played Tuesday, April 4, and Thurs
| day, April 6.
