meet the Princeton baseball contingent
on the varsity field at $50 o'clock.
Princeton has a remarkably strong
team this year and will be the hardest
proposition that the local collegians have
yet tackled, but the showing made by
Georgetown in the series with Pennsyl-

"Our chances are brighter this year

ment in speaking of the first game and
the general outlook for the season.
I'VE remember the great showing
made by Washington at the start of last
season, but we think We are in better
shape than they are this year, even
though they have got our old captain
and third baseman, Lave Cross.
We have picked Up a great lot OF
new men also who as utility men will
be hard to beat. Without rejecting
anything on Lave Cross. with Brouthers
on third. l think our team at present,
judging from the way il is playing. is

Batting Order.
The batting order for tomorrow's game

Brouthers, third base.

meat from Oystertown proved in the end
to be a stake horse instead OF a selling
platter
AS the game was fought out, with
Washington 2 and BaltimoreO o. it indicates
in itself that the locals need a bit of
tuning up. And had Jennings sent Ma

first inpdnS started off Lave Cross looked
like hole in balloon, and had the
Shanghaiers been in better form they
could have handed out a hot one then
and there. However. the veteran Cross
later redeemed himself. and it was his
enthusiasm, coupled with the eccentric
tiles of Adkins for Baltimore that gave
Washingt on its chance to win.

kindly to Starkell, who was saved only
BY splendid fielding behind him.
In the fateful eighth Stahl went in to
do or die. Adkins was the mark, and

were two runs to the credit of the Ma
