GEORGETOWN TAKES
ANHERST'S SCALP
Fielding of Westinghouse
Despite Difficulties, Dis
tinct Sensation.
Georgetown, Q; Amherst, 0.

In the first real test OF its ability,
GEORGETOWN University's baseball team
yesterday gave Amherst a sound trounc-
iLg by 10 0.
4 high wird made things uncomfcr-
table for the spectators, but only served
to make Georgetown's work in the field
appear more sensational. Chance after
chance was seized by the local helders'
and some of them We're after difti-
cult order, but they got away with the
performance without making a single
error. This feature ELECTED favorable
comment from the public and from the
visiting players themselves. who eX-
cused their own nniscues on the ground
that IL was early in the season. that the
wind was at times almost blowing gaze
and that the day was too cold TOR snap
py work. AZ these arguments applied
as forcibly TO Georgetown, but the
local men wers ON their toes every min
ute of tGe game, and put up as pfeIly
an exhibition OF baseball as Is gen
orally seen in the big closing games OF
the college season.
Devine on Firing Line.
Harry Devine was in the box for
Georgetown, and he deserved the SPLEEN
, did support rendered him. But six hits
were tailed, two Of these were scratches
and all were scattered except two,
punched in one inning.
Pierce was on the firing line for Am
herst. Although fewer errors might
have reduced the number OF runs, no
amount Of fielding could have discount
ed the clean hitting of the Georgetown
batters. And at thar Pierce was no
easy proposition Mess found him FOR
three singles, and Courtney and May
| cock tailed two apiece To the rest,
his delivery for the most part proved
a puzzler.
Like Old Times.
In game where the inneld and outer
garden worked so tremendously IL IS
hard to pick individual stars. But Cy
Mcdonald came as near that distinc-
ton as any Of his team mates His
handling of wide throws reminded one
OF the high school games in which he

The haddock fisheries of New England

mackere output each exceed a million
dollars in value annually. The menhadden
fisheries of the middle Atlantic states also
pass the million dollar mark, while the

the lake herring and trout of the great
lakes run into figures that approach the
million dollar marx. but there are no
other fisheries which show such large

Snubby vouchSafed no reply, but sat

the house.
"a letter for you, Miss Lucille" Snubby
heard him say.

so sweet that Snubby at once gave UP his
cigarette search and turned to look
through the open door.

The herring is fish that has never yet
shown any signs of diminishing in num-
bers and Prof. Huxley estimates that at
least three billion of them are taken from
the North sea and Atlantic ocean every
year. 4 single shoal of herring. however
contains enough fish for the total yearly
supply of the world. and many of the
shoals cover area of a half-dOZen
square miles. Scotland and Norway have
important herring fisheries. but Sweden.
Ireland, Germany, Belgium, France and
Austria also figure largely in herring pro-
duction and consumption. Many fishes
common off the Florida coast and along
the gulf states are also common in the
West Indies and in parts of South Amer
lea. and evidence of the International
interest in American fishes it may be
said that three of the papers to be read
at the congress will treat of American
fishes in foreign countries, one being by
an Italian on American fishes in Italy,
another by an Austrian on American
fishes in Austria and third by repre-
sentative of the Argentine Republic on
American fishes in Argentina.
America leads the world in oyster pro-
duction, but the various states having
oyster beds within or along their bound
aries have only been able to maintain the
supply of oysters through systematic cul-
tivaton of the bivalve. Private control of
beds is now the rule rather than the ex-
ception. In this New York and some of
the New England states were pioneers,
but the southern states have found 1t
necessary to resort to oyster culture in
recent years. and this industry is con-
stantly increasing. Maryland depended
for years on its natural supply, though

and patience, he had joled to his side

The butler was forced to tell him twice
that there was no answer, and even then
it is doubtful If he would have torn him
self away had it not been that the object
of his attentive admiration disappeared
into the darkness. leaving him gazing at
an indiStinct balustrade
And then he wandered off to the car
and back to the Office to tell his employer
that there was no answer. And the look
that came into his employers eyes caused
the strange feeling to come again, and so
strongly that he had to go out into the
corridor and tell the office boy next door
what he thought of him and what he'd
do to him next time he canght him alone;
all of which caused the office boy next
door neither Self-esteem nor mental tran
quillity.

 During the coming season the conflict ing dates have been reduced to 15.
 The conflicting dates are at Chicago, at St Louis, 3 at Philadelphia and 1 at Boston.

Montgomery, February 26.-(Special.) J. ball club will be here Monday or Tues day next to begin the work of getting the men in shape for the opening of the sea- son. The players have been ordered to report not later than March F for prac- tce.
 President Robert J. Chambers said to- day: T am very anxious for MT. Ryan to get here and get hold of the situation. He is to have charge and control all the de- tails of the club management leaving only the financial end to the president and directors. In other words, it is up to him. He must make the game a success this season, which I believe he will do.'
 MT. Chambers, who was at the meeting fin Little Rock, says that the impression among the magnates is that Montgomery has q great team, one that will get in the first division and stay there, and one that may in the end take the rag. Infield and outfield are going to be strong at the bat, which seems to have more effect than anything else in winning games.
 It is d matter of interest to the fans that Baxter may in the end be back at first. An effort is being made by his friends to have the best of relations re- stored with regard to the big player and f is not at all unlikely that he will crowd Wolloben off the initial sack for the sea son. The popularity of Baxter and the fact that he can hit the ball is going to make the pull in his behalf very strong

Athletic Club Appears
 Zn NashbiIZe 1Oniqhf

The men making the trip last night were Hanna, Mckinney, Riddle, Chairsell, Hilty, Cole, Parker and Shute.
 The Athletic club announces a game on the evening of March with Wabash Uni versity. Wabash has the same team that has represented that college for three years, and of some 50 games played with in that period but three have been lost. The Indanians are making a tour of the south and will visit Birmingham, Mont gomery and Mobile in this state One of the victims of wabash this season was the magnificent Columbia team
 There is interest, too, in the game to be played in Birmingham Friday evening between the Y. M. c. A. and the Marion Military institute. This game will be hard fought, although the chances to win favor the Y. M. c. A. Marion, during recent years, has shown remarkable development in an athletic way, and it would be no surprise if they played the local boys d magnificent game.
