GEORGETOWN PLAYS TIGERS.
Heyniger win oppose Diamond in
Pitchers Box.

Pitchers Box.
Princeton and Georgetown will meet in
their annual game Of baseball this after
noon on Georgetown field. The FIRST con-
test arranged between the two teams
Saturday had to be called of on account
Of rain. much to the disappointment of
the rooters of both schools.
Both teams are out for blood to-day,
and everything points to one of the
greatest games Of the year. Princeton's
team has had an opportunity Of resting
up after its hard series with Virginia,
and as the Georgetown men have been
taking things easy for the last three
days there should be lots of life in the
struggle. Rumor has 1t Howard Smith
will be back in the game, thus strength
ening Georgetowns chances materially.
Prominent on the Tiger team are Dill
Ion. Sides. and Harlan, athletes famed
for their work on the football field as
well as on the baseball diamond.
Heyniger. considered the greatest col
lege pitcher in the country to-day, will
pitch for the visitors against Diamond
the freshman phenom at Georgetown.
Should Diamond get away with to-day's
game he will have added another scalp
TO his already noteworthy string Of vic
tories. The game will start at 4 o'clock.
The teams viii probably line up as fol-
lows:
Georgetown-Aiess second base Courtney. left field

Princeton at Georgetown Field this
afternoon.
Every game played thus far by Cleve-
land has gone into extra innings.
Don't attempt to count the 'I-told-you-
sos in the Hans Wagner case. They're
too numerous.
Union League umpires are Paul Stein
berg. Neil Harkins. James Cullen. and
Andrew Stanton.
In addition to the bottle of wine, Jim
Delehanty will get pair Of shoes for

Johnny Gilbert. the outhelder from the
Southern League. who is 10 play with
the Unions. reported to Manager Irwin
yesterday.
Arthur MeGovern, who caught for the
Boston Americans in 1906 is TO play with
Brockton. Of the New England League,
this season.
After a long hold-out, Outhelder Lefty
Davis. once with Pittsburg, has finally
come to terms with the ST. Paul club
and signed his contract.
An ordinance requiring women TO re-
move their hats during the ball games
at League Park has been introduced in
the Cincinnati city council.

The seating capacity at National Park
has been considerably increased by an
addition TO the left-held pavilion. The
stand now extends down 20 the hospital

McGraw IS on the coaching lines IN
every game this year, and that Is a sign
OF good times coming. He keeps Herzog
and Evans busy at the same job. They
are both players Of the aggressive type.
Ned Hanlon is anxious to get Herzog
for Baltimore. but as yet he has failed
TO induce McGTsw TO part with him.
Herzog. personally, says he would like
to go. he is afraid he will not get enough
work sitting On the Giants bench.
The new rough-coated ball they are
using this season seems the goods. The
pitchers control IL much better than the
cid glossy coat. There is no denying that
the game is shortened by its adoption
and the rule against soiling the horse
hide is not violated.
Chauncey. Dubuc. the star pitcher OF
Notre Dame. has received an offer 10 join
the Chicago White Sox. An agent OF
Comiskey conferred With him in an ef-

NEW BALL AIDS HITTING.
Lack of Glossy Finish Helps Bats
men Make Long Drives.

New York, April 19.-Umpires Tom Con-
molly and Bob Emslie think that the new
ball is faster than the ones used in
other seasons. They both declare that
the men are hitting harder, and that
there will be more long hits this year
than ever.
Neither of them knows the answer, but
they are willing TO place a small bet
that the new ball. because Of its lack
Of glossy finish, has less chance of Slip
ping off the at, but that the batsman
can get better hold on the rough sur
face with his bat, and is therefore able to
make the pill travel faster Perhaps that
is the correct solution, but it looks 10
some people as if the men were hitting
just q little harder in this series than
is usual.

Tossed about from one position to an
other since his coming into the big
league, Delehanty has finally found his
proper place. and this year promises to
be a banner enc for the younger brother
of the great Ed. Not only is he fielding
in most approved order, but Delehanty
has been clouting the ball in a way that
would indicate that he should lie up
among the leaders before the end of the
campaign.
Two Great InfeIders.
In Bill shipke and George Mcbride. The
Nationals have two of the grandest in
nelders in baseball. Neither has much of
a reputation as a slugger. hut the manner
in which they work together in killing
drives toward the left side of the dia-
mond will be one Of the most spectacular
features of the games in which the Ma
the team toward The close of last season
he became a great favorite with the fans.
Mcbride is the same sort OF a player. and
should become equally as popular.
Capt. Ganley. Pickering. and Clymer
present a most formidable outfield, with
Milan a competent substitute, When
Charley Jones was traded for Pickering
last winter there were many who doubted
the wisdom of the deal, but the ex-BT0wn
has thoroughly justified Cantilion's move,
FOR he has been among the leaders ia
hitting. and has done satisfactory work
IL the field. Pickering got one or more
hits in each Of the sixteen exhibition
games, and since the opening Of the Tegu-
lar season has batted with most en-
couraging regularity. Neither Ganley nor
Clymer has as yet struck his proper
stride at the bat. but their ability in this
department is we'll known.
After playing in New York to-day and
tomorrow. the Nationals will come here
