Game Today.


Catholic University VS.. Gallaudet. at Kendall
Green.
Rumor after rumor has been started
this spring as to the teams with which
Cy Mcdonald will play during the COM
ing season. but the only one that has an
authentic look, excepting the one that he
would represent the Cornell company, is
that which was going the rounds at the
interstate commerce commission yester-
day to the effect that his, promise had
been obtained to hold down the first
cushion on that nine in the Departmental
League. There is every reason to be-
leye that the rumor Is true and that he
will represent that club in the race for
the pennant in the clerks league this
season
If Mcdonald does finally cast his lot
with the mentioned organization. there is
not a particle of doubt that the Inter-
state will get one OF the best ball players
in the city. How 'Cy'' used to hammer
them out for Georgetown. and Winches
ter, semi-professiOnal club in Virginia.
10 old history, and besides being fielder
far above the average, he is an excep-
tionally fast man on the bases for one OF
his weight.
When the former Georgetown man
threw up the managership of the Colds
boro club. in the Carolina Association, he
stated that he would not play this sea-
son at all, but influence has been brought
TO bear which has caused him to change
his decision. and II is practically certain
that he will represent two clubs in the
amateur leagues this summer: that is.
provided the professional clause fails to
pass: and ii seems now there is very
little chance of its getting by. Cornell
Company and the Interstate teams are
the two with which it is almost certain
he will play.
1t might be mentioned, also, that while
the Interstate team was not in the league
last year, ii Is by no means a newcomer
in the Department circuit. two years
ago IL was tied with Commerce and La
Dor for first place, and extra games had
to be played TO decide the champion
ship. With the old men who have been
rustled up and the new material that
der the new rule allowing outside men
to represent the department mines. the
commission should be able to place q
club in the field which will certainly give
a mighty good account of itself before the
season is over. And il Mcdonald is a
sample of the men who will be signed
for the team from the outside the other
organizations in the league had better
look TO their laurels.
All the games scheduled for yesterday
afternoon had to be called off on account
Of the rainstorm. One or two of the
scholastic contests which were baked
by the wet weather were postponed until
today. while the Georgetown-M. A. c.
game win come off tomorrow If present
plans are carried out. The Farmers made
arrangements with the Hilltoppers to
ss sye scoo
students at the state college are under
strict military discipline, and it is NOT
easy for the team to get away on an!
day except Saturday.
Those who were skepticai about the
Capital City and District leagues hold
ing forth on the same lot this season
ought to go out to the grounds and take
look at what is going on About five
days ago the District circuit started WORK
on its fence and now has all the posts
up. and lumber Is on the ground ready
for putting up the main body. Day be-
fore yesterday the Capital City organiza.
Yesterday the frst posts were settled in
the ground for its fence. There Is not a
particle of doubt that two up-to-date
in opposite corners of the same lot a:
soon as the season opens. 1t Will be q
merry battle between the two leagues
during the summsr with ,hs npsTs,,i new
There il no truth in the recent rumol
that McArdle. who is holding down tn,
center Geld position on the Western Hisi
school team at present. will play with
Old Point Comfort in the Tidewafel
League in Virginia this year. The Rex
and White outnelder received an one
from that club, but the salaries beini
paid in the outlaw organization are 81
small that any fellow who has his colleg'
career in front Of him would be foolisf
to cast his lot with II. And at any rat
the chances are that the jeTkwater circui
will not last longer than the Fourth o
July.
Catholic University and Gallaudet ar
scheduled to meet this afternoon In tn
first game to decide the championship o
the city. On the form displayed SO IA
by the two mines II would seem that tn
Srooklardiecs should be easy winners
A resent rumor has IL that the Nav,
C~p4Ttmeut team. in the Departments
LEAGUE Will not be without the services
