A bomb was hurled into the local col
leglate baseball arena yesterday when
Mana,-er w. S Harris. Of Gallaudet Col
lege, made an unsuccessful attempt 20
arrange another game with Georgetown
Manager Harris claims that the Hilltop
pers are afraid 20 give MS team another
chance. and points out that the Gallaudet
nine has trimmed Catholic University,
and that the Brooklauders have In turn
defeated the HilItoppeTs twice, which, he
thinks. entities the Kendall Green lads 10
another chance with the Blue and Gray
Never before have the Washington col
lege teams been 50 evenly matched. and
never has the situation here been so
muddled as this spring Catholic Uni
versity forged 20 the front as a contender
for the District title when, after winning
a long streak Of victories. II easily took
the Hultoppers into camp. Even then
there were some who doubted the real
class Of the Br00klauders, and confidently
expected 20 see Georgetown clean up the
field with the university aggregation IN
the next contest But the shoe was on
the wrong foot. and Catholic University
won the second game, 9 TO !, and for the
( first time a local college had beaten
! Georgetown IN a series OF baseball games.
! GallauCet has played an annual game
with Georgetown for years, and. rs usual
was beaten when the game rolled around
\ this season. When the Kendall Green
tribe banlshed the Catholic University
outfit Manager Harris ar once decided %
tackle the Blue and Gray and make them
play or claim the District collegiate
championship by default
Manager Harry Brown. OF George
town. said yesterday that be had re-
ceived a call from the manager Of the
! GaIlaudet team and had talked the mat
ter over for an hour. but could not see
any way In which a game could be ar
ranged. as the law and medical schools
are holding examinations every day this
week and it is impossible 20 play after
