NATIONALS IN SPRING
Blue and Gray Management
Trying to Arrange a Game
With Griffith'S Team.

According to a report given out by
Manager Haggerty of the Georgetown
University base bali team last night ar
rangements are under way for d game
between the Nationals and HilltoppeTs
for the opening date of the coming sea
son. The Blue and Gray manager has
been trying TO arrange this game for
some time. and according to the report
given out last night il looks as though
the West Enders would be seen in action
for the first time next spring at the
American League Park. a few years ago
annual games were played between the
Washington professional lcaguers and the
boys from over Rock creek, which re-
suited in very close scores. Georgetown
coming out on the long end on several
SccaSions.
\ game was arranged between the Ma
tiOndlS and the Blue and Gray nine for
the opening date last spring. but owing
TO the destruction OF the American
League Park seating facilities. the con-
test had To he called of. Had Manager
McAieer remained in Washington the
local college management would have had
little trouble i'll arranging ii game for
this season. but with a new man TO direct
the work of the Nationals all the formali-
ties have TO be gone through before the
game can he formally booked However
arrangements are already well advanced
toward the hooking of this game. and
everything VIII be nnai!y settled in all
probabi ity before Manager Griffith leaves
town Sunday.
Base ball for the past few years has
been heavy drain on the treasury of
the Blue and Gray athletic association
but if the West End ball tossers finally
succeed in booking the game with the
Nationals base ball would most likely be
d financial success at the hilltop next
spring Besides adding considerably u
the financial standing this game would
arouse the interest of the fans in the
hilltop team and increase the attendance
at the collegiate contests which will be
held on the hill next spring.
