GAME TOMORROW
Important Contest fOl
Washington Institution.
CAMPBELL TO PLAY SHORT
All-Southern Star Valuable Addition.
Hutchinson Slated to
Pitch.

Tomorrow afternoon the George Wash
inSton University baseball team will
play one OF its most important games
of the season. OF all the new athletic
relations OF the Buff and Blue none is
more highly regarded than those with
the University of Virginia. The base
ball managements of these two institu-
tions have arranged for two games. one
20 be played IN Washington and one at
Charlottesville
The first OF these two games will be
played at University Field tomorrow
afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. Although
George Washington started the season
poorly at Annapolis, the players have
fast rounded into shape. and Will prob
ably line up against the lads from Char
lottesville in their best condition.
Campbell Valuable Find.
A strong addition to the team this
week is Campbell. la years shortstop
on the Vanderbilt University team. and
the all-SOuthern shortstop. Campbell
will play that position for George Wash
ington tomorrow. With Morrissey, the
Holy Cross player, operating at third
base, the Buff and Blue have two unus-
ually fast men or the left side of the
diamond.
Hutchinson, the star OF the Sunday
School League, will probably pitch to-
morrOWS 8 game. He has been working
hard all week 10 get into condition, and
Coach Weber believes he will be all
right for the Virginia game In case
Hutchinson is not in condition Thomas

Weber Will probably do the catching.
