Capital City Park.
A severe setback was given the George
town base ball team yesterday, wheI
Outfelder Murphy announced that he
would not be able to play again thi:
year. No intimation was had by either
the team or the coach that Murphy would
not play until yesterday. He did not
show up for practice for several days,
and when he was looked up by Capt
Sitterding it was learned that he would
be unable to play again because of his
work in the medical school.
The examinations i'm the medical school
classes are at hand, and Murphy stated
that he is behind in whole lot OF
practical work that must be done before
he can pass. He said that it would be
the height of imprudencA for him to
jeopardize his standing in the school and
chance of graduating with his class Tor
the sake of playing a few more games
of ball.
There is no doubt that Murphy is right
in what he says, and. while he was
urged to continue playing, he stuck to
bis decision to quit the game in prefer
ence to losing out in his classes.
Murphy will certainly be missed from
the ball team. He has been the chief as
set of the team this year with the stick
and on the offensive generally, being the
pne looked to to come across with the
binEle at the right time. He is fast on
the bases beating out many hits to the
lnfeld. and running the circuit in most
approved manner.
It was announced last night tnat Con
nelly and Fienli would be used in MS
place in the field. While it Is probable
that neither of the mentioned pair VIII
come up to the mark set by Murphy so
far this season, it is thought that they
will be good substitutes. Ffenli has
shown his ability with the stick in every
vame In which he has twirled this season:
OF course 1t is not to be expected that
he will be able to do the work on the
bases or in the field that Murphy IS
Ia the field while Ffenli is pitching, is
,ne of the fastest fielders trying out Tor
the team and is not poor hitter Dy any
means Either of the two men 10 De
played in Murphy's place should be able
10 do good work.
In the game between Tech and Western
Tuesday Technical showed one OF the
best outfeads in the high scnools. - -
vas probably the best outfield In any OF
the schools. Schwegler. Eckendorf ana
Lynch looked to be about the best trlo
That has been seen representing any .oSaI
scholastic team in this city. Eacn OF Tue
three men gave the impression that they
IRE fast men and able to hit. Lyneh es-
nec,aiIv proved himself to be good man
sn the bases, being fast and showing
rood Judgment while on the SACKS.
Almost every club which has a team in
any Of the amateur leagues in the CITY IS
Ketting its men out for practice. Games
md each day every space which is large
onough to admit base ball practlce Is pc.
ing used for that purpose. Each OF the

snenfng of the season. A letter was reaa
1iich had been received from wee fresi-

Tho Georgetown Props had An easy
kfme Of 1t yesterday against the Gallau.
AT Reserves. winning from the Kendall
Green youngsters, IL to Z. The Gallaudet
second string men played a sort OF joke
Ia hn
prena cIouted the ball for thirteen hits.
TAbot, who worked for the Props, did
very well in the box. being steady and al
lowing but eight safeties off his delivery.
Roller, LAWYER and Mccarthy led their
teens In batting, each getting three hits.
Ioehrs work behind the bat for the
Props was Of the highest order.
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
rhanicai College took the measure OF the
catholic University nine yesterday by the
scoFe Of 8 to 4. Agricultural and Mechanical
outhit and outf1elded the Brookiand team
but II was the loose fielding on the part OF
the Red and Black that caused it's defeat
Ryan pitched good enough ball to win
With four runs, but the ragged work in
the field caused his undoing. his team
making six errors behind him at critical
stages of the contest.
FVeyen hits were gainered by the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical team against the
eight secured by the Catholic University
crowd.
Hayes, who was at short against the
southernerS for the fourth time this sea
son for Catholic University. looked good
and will add great deal or strength tc
the team. He showed his ability as a
fielder and hitter to he above that OF
the average college player, and his pres
ence makes the Brooklanders' infield looi
better than any of the local colleges.
