Georgetown Team Tackles Strong
Fordham Aggregation Tomorrow.

The Georgetown University base ball
team will leave this evening for New
York city, where tomorrow afternoon
the locals will clash with the crack
Fordham aggregation in the second
game of series of three arranged for
this season. AS the New Workers. easily
won out in the first contest, the Blue
and Gray lads are extremely anxious
to retaliate, and with this end in view
have been working hard preparing
themselves during the past week
1t is likely that O'COnnor will start
the twirlinG, as it his regular turn.
Feenan will again hold down the re-
ceiving end, with NJ. O'Connor playing
first. On account Of illness. Gibson will
not be able to ACCOMPANY the team, and
his place t. the keystone corner will be
covered by Gaynor, the old prep leader.
Duggan will also play in left field in
place Of Connolly. The rest of the line
up remains unchanged.
The FOrdham team is aid to be much
stronger now than it was when it was
here, so that the chances for a George
town victory seem slim. However, if
the HilltOppers put up the article of
ball that they have done on few-Oc-
caSiOns this season. they should be
able to make hard scrap for the
hOnors of the day, especially if O'Con-
nor is in form. The squad will return
Sunday.

entitled McGovern to an even break.
Terry McGovern, who sat in a box in
