FIRST CALL ISSUED.
Georgetown Base Ball Candidates
Will Be Enrolled February 2.

The first important move in the forma-
tion of the Blue and Gray base ball
team for the coming season was made
yesterday when Manager Harry Brown
posted notice at the college requesting
all the candidates for the nine to report
to Capt. Harry Murphy on Wednesday
evening. February .. The purpose of
this gathering will be to introduce the
men to the coach and to lay the final
plans for the initiating of practice work,
which will no doubt begin indoors before
the end of that week.
From all previous dope Is is believed
that no less than thirty-ive men will be
on hand for the first gathering of players,
and this number will probably be in
creased as the practice work goes on.
Since the announcement of the schedule
last Sunday, Capt. Murphy has been re-
connoitering for available material, and
his efforts are said to have met with
unexpected success.
He has discovered a find in a youngster
by the name Of Flynn, who is a student
in the law school This lad is brother
TO Jack Flynn, who has been signed by
Fttsburg for the coming season. He
Will try out for first base, and he is
counted on to give the most likely candi-
date at present, Feenan, run for his
money.
Tom Smith, the hurdler, is another one
who has acquired diamond ambitions
Last spring Smith caught for the fresh
man nine in the class league, and his
work so impressed his friends that they
have persuaded him to try out for the
varsity. Smith will be in line for either
first base catcher.
Gibson, the basket ball star is said to
be an infielder of no little ability, while
Barricello, the foot ball end, is reputed to
have had great experience behind the bat
Both of these men have of late expressed
their intention OF joining the candidates

ed with a little extra coaching, should
easily develope into an excellent short.
stop. With these new men added to the
list of veterans and older candidates
which was published recently, it will
readily be seen that the squad Is sure
to be record breaker both in point Of
size and quality.

cision. Matty Baldwin of Charlestown de-
feated Owen Moran. the English feather

pretty even contest. but when the decision
was announced by Moftitt Flaherty, the
former pugilist, who officiated in the alb

there was howl of JOY, for Matty is
very popular here.
The decision was fair. for Matty had
much the better of the milling for the

Tor the sixth round also. Moran showed
up strongly In the seventh, eighth and

rounds Matty held his own. at least.
1T was a rugged contest, with good
punching on both sides. Matty blocked

Pittsburg Led in Protest.

The Pittsburg club led in the protest
against charging wild pitches and passed
balls against the pitchers or the catchers
as errors. taking the ground that while
the battery handles on an average 40
pitched balls per game there is no system
of giving the battery credit marks for
balls thrown or caught cleanly, and there
should be no system of demerit for mis-
takes. In other words, there cannot
rightly be demerit system where there
is no merit credited.

the American pitching line, was signed
for next season by Comiskey after brief
but breezy conference.
How much money do you want for
next season. said Comiskey to the big
fellow, who had been kicking.
Five hundred dollars advance over last
year. said Smith.
I'm give you s7OO more if you'll quit
kicking"

some advance money was leaving the
