Princeton and Georgetown viii line up
again to-day on Georgetown Field TO
decide which team viii win the series
this year. and a good battle IS antiei-
pated Balzer will probably oppose White
on tho slab, and a pitchers battle should
result The Hilltoppers showed that they
could wallop the ball Saturday. and If
Smoke" shows the same good form he
exhibited against Ursinus. Georgetown
men are confident that victory will come
to the Blue and Gray.
Princeton Is by far the most seasoned
team that has been here this year, full
Of pepper and fight, and overrunnlng with
confidence. The Tigers are a hard bunch
to kid, and had the Georgetown coach
on the third-base line up in the air
throughout the game Saturday.
The Princeton boys are wearing last
years uniforms They buy their suits
later in the season. so that they will
look spick and span for the big games
at the close Of the year
Menefee's work has been OF a high
order in the five games Georgetown has
played. and his batting has been a big
help to the Hilltoppers. He and Dugan
are a pair that will break UP a game If
they happen TO have their batting eye
peeled. The Princeton players comment
ed on the youthful appearance Of the
Georgetown squad. and early in the DAY
were really plying the home team. but
after Dugan and Menefee had clouted
in three runs apiece the sons Of old
Nassau changed their tune,
Dugan. although we'll known about
Washington as a heavy-hitting amateur.
really made the team by making good in
pinch. Seldom does a player go into
game 10 bat for another with two out,
man on base. and two runs needed TO
win, and then knock a home run, but
that was Dugans feat.
The game with Georgetown was the first
one for Urslnus this year.
Ursinus could not steal on Menefee, he
catching several in the attempt 10 purloin
second. and it was not long before the
Ursinus players were of the unanimous
opinion that Gould was ringer. hired for
the occasion. To any one who has
watched the Georgetown backstop develop
in the sandlot games about town. the talk
Of the Pennsylvantans was exceedingly
funny.
The Independence League held a meet
ing at the residence of H f Worley
Friday night, and ratified and adopted
the rules of the amateur commission.
The secretary was instructed TO get into
communication at once with the Agricul-
ture and Advent teams and find out II
they were going TO be in the league again
this year
In case either of these clubs drops out,

a club of eX-high school boys. under the
management Of A. II. SheIIenberger.
The president appointed q committee on
grounds, consisting of Messrs. J. Don
nelly, J. L. Dilsaver. and J. II. Bangs,
and a committee on the constitution. COM

at the next meeting.
A warm meeting Of the amateur COM
mission is expected tonight, when the
Capital City League will attend and make
plain their position. The question is,
Shall we have amateur baseball or shall

listed In the past continue?" Let every
friend of clean baseball stand up for the
strict eligibility code and its proper en-
forcement.
