PLAY DOUBLE-HEADER TO-DAY
Georgetown Interclass Games Should
Prove Interesting.
Freshmen and SophOmOres VIII
Lineup at 10 O'CiOclx-JuniOrs
VIII Tackle Seniors.

To-day the Georgetown interclass series
Will start among the students of the col
lege department. and from TIE interest
which has been shown by the men in re-
porting for practice and from the way
they have been handling themselves. some
close and snappy games should be pulled
off.
The captains OF the several clas es have
had their candidates cut for some time
past. excepting the junior class. which,
nevertheless, has been practicing without
a leader. 1t a class election held yester-
day. Harry Brown. manager Of the
varsity baseball team. was elected cap
tain over Eckenrode after a spirited bal
loting. Besides his ability to look after
the business interests of a ball team.
Brown is a frst-class first sacker. and
played on a New York prep nine before
coming to Georgetown.
The series will open this morning at 10
o'clock, when the Freshmen and Sophie
mOres come together. Last year the pres
ent Freshmen took championship honOTs
and did net lose a game. As the Juniors
and Seniors will be made up Of about
the same material as last year. the cham
pions should find the Freshmen class
their strongest rival. and. consequently,
this mornings game should have more IN
terest attached TO It than the other
games. The probable batteries will be
fOr the SophOmOres Sitterding and COgan
and the Freshies O'Connor and Nolan.
Contrary 10 the ruling in the other inter
class sports, varsity men will be allowed
to play but not in their regular positions.
In the afternoon at O'Clock. the Sc
ni0rs and Juniors will take a turn at IT,
and as they fought pretty hard last year
great deal Of rivalry exists between
the two classes. The probable batteries
viii be, for the Seniors. bikes and Car
lin. and for the Juniors. Martin and
Fcenan
The series were TO have started last
Sunday morning. but because many OF
the students had not returned from their
Easter vacation Manager Brown had to
cancel the game last Sunday and call for
a double-header to-day.

JEFF NOT IN ACTION
POstpOnes Boxing with His
Sparring Partners.
FIGHT FANS DISAPPOINTED
Several Theories Advanced by Ell
perts-Some Claim ola Age, Others
that He Has an Excess of Fat.
Coed Judge of Fighters Makes y
Statement About BOiIermnker.

ROWardennan. Cal, April 9.-Jehries
postponed boxing again to-day. although
several score Of san Francisco and Santa
cruz fight fans had come here in full
expectation of seeing the big fellow
stripped and in action. This disappoint-
ment created a bad impression, and led
sportsmen to declare that JEFF must have
some good reason for eoncealing his body
Some think he has an undue amount of
fat, but that isn't the reason. 1t simply
seems to be that JEFF IS too stiE and sore
about the shoulders and arms TO box, al
though he can find enjoyment in hand
ball and baseball.
This soreness Of his shoulder muscles
isn't good sign, and taken with the
fact that he doesn't show the expected
excess OF flesh at this early stage Of
training. it is argued by experts that
age is telling on him far more than he
or his trainers are willing to admit.
One of the best judges of fighters has
just returned after four days spent at
Rowardcnnan. where he had an excellent
chance Of observing JEFF. Here is what
he says:
'Jeffries looks old, much older than
forty years. although he lays claim to be
but thirty-fve. Perhaps as his friends
say, the fact that he has lost much of
his hair has a great deal to do with that
Perhaps pictures taken have exaggerated
that TO certain degrees. But when all is
said. Jeffries looks older.
