The cold wave has kept the ball teams
inside for the past few days, but as soon
as the snow leaves us baseball will begin
in earnest.
Carl Lipp, the southpaw that is out for
the box job at Business, is showing mid
summer form. and If he keeps up thI
good work, he is sure of place on the
Stenographers' nine.
Eiker, the big candidate for catcher
at Business, is pegging the ball in mid
summer form. If the big boy can sting
the oalI he will be a big help to the
Stenographers on the diamond.
''Mooch' Peacke, last years star center
| fielder of the crack Olympia A. c., is a
candidate for the Technical ball team
and will be certain to give the other out
ergardeners tough fight for the position.
Big Burley and Hunter will in all
probability be the battery at Business
| in the practice games, and with Capt
Dodge in command the Stenographers
will be sure to give a good account Of
themselves.
Flynn, Garland, and Tew are showing
up we'll in the box for Tech AS Tew is
veteran of last year, and Garland and
Flynn are experienced slab artists, the
Machinists are well fortified in regards
to pitchers.
Big CHER Meyers, at Western. is
some hitter. The big leader of the Red
and White nine is stinging the ball as
he did last season, and with Coach Byrd
in command the boys from across the
creek are sure to have corl1ing good
team.
Another battery candidate that is show
ing up well in practice is Hutchinson, the
youngster that made a favorable i'm
preston last season in amateur circles in
the District. Hutchinson has a world of
speed and all the benders that are neces-
sary to a first-class twirler.
Over at Eastern the boys are very en-
thusiastic over the prospects of the base
ball teams chances in the high school
series. with eight u last years play
ers back in school and a host of new ma
terial. Coach Donnelly will have a cork
ing good team.

PLAN TO FINANCE G. W. o.
Alumni to Raise Money for Athletic
Association.


If present plans mature, George
Washington University may be repre-
sented in the different branches Of inter
collegiate sport before long.
Prominent members of the alumni and
students of the university are promoting
a scheme to tax each student an athletic
fee upon entering the college. No fee
is now paid by the students, and the
athletic branch Of the university has
been supported solely from the proceeds
taken in at the different games in the
past
With nearly 100 students enrolled, and
with a small assessment fee Of about
s., it is claimed nearly 1900 can be
raised.
1t was thought that the disbanding
of the football team last fail sounded
the death kneu of athletics at the
Hatchetite camp, but there were hun
dreds of supporters, of the school who
collegiate competition, and the present
movement is the result of their efforts.
The money which was made on the
track meet held recently has been ap-
piled to the outstanding debts of George
Washington, and it is hoped to soon wipe
out the deficit, with the cooperation of
friends of the institution.
1t is putting 1t mildly TO say that the
return of the Hatchetites to the athletic
arena would delight hundreds of their
followers, and 1t is hoped the present
plans materialize.
