FOR ALL POSITIONS
Georgetown Base Ball Prac-
tiCe Starts in Earnest
Wednesday.

After experimenting with a few players
yesterday and Saturday the captain and
coach Of the Georgetown base ball team
decided that the presen, weather IS sur
ticienty warm to allow of outdoor prac-
tice for all positions from now on. Ac-
cordingly notice was posted in the diff
ferent departments of the university this
morning informing all aspirants for the
team to report for regular work on
Georgetown Field next Wednesday after
noon and every day thereafter that
weather permits.
OF course there will ye. be few aft
crnoons on which ball tossing will be inn
possible on account Of cool weather.
Whenever these days occur only the
pitchers and catchers will be expected
TO appear. indoor work being in order for
will be excused after Wednesday. and
absence from practice will go seriously
against the chances of these to make
good who are trying for the team.
Over thirty were on hand in suits yes
terday afternoon. All Of these went
through light stunts on the varsity field
The delay in moving the bleachers kept
the men pretty well cramped for room,
but this difficulty will be remedied in the
future. until the field is cleared, by d.
viding the squad. Such course must be
followed, as it is believed that Is many
as fifty will be out when the regular
practice gets we'll under way.
Under the new plan all the outfeld
candidates are to work on the varsity
field under the supervision of Capt. Sit
lerding. For the first couple Of weeks
the program for these will be simply to
field flies and to handle the bat little:
All of the infield candidates, pitchers and
catchers during the same time Will be
handled on the prep field by Coach Sprlg-
man, who will bring them up to form as
quickly as possible.
Because of the fact that the opening
game is but four weeks off no time can
be lost getting together some kind OF an
aggregation to open the season with. IT
is believed that the veterans Will form
the nucleus for the first regular lineup,
with the different places open being filled
in with the best looking material from
among the green youngsters. Then as
fast as any man shows sufficient ability
he will be promoted TO the varsity, taxing
the place Of whoever may not be deliver
ing the class of goods expected.
The presence of d second team will
make such e system easy, as. it Will be
possible to keep three squads always at
worl,-the varsity. reserves and scrubs.
In this way everybody will have plenty
of opportunity for getting into condition
and there will be little chance of any good
men being lost sight of by reason OF not
having enough time to prove their play
ing ability.

That limited round bouts in which the

There are different ways of looking at
a boxing match. Some will insist that
the individual who lands the most blows
should be given the decision. while the
other will want the honors TO go TO the
Fighter who does the most damage. Blows
which have no effect should really not
lie counted against the man receiving
them. \ lighters goal naturally must be

other words, when fighters are on the
square they will Try TO score knock

he accompt.N Is nothing. while the fighter

but when ne does there is conclusive evil

There was "A great difference Of opinion
after the Brown-Hogan fight in New
York tn, other day. Some insisted that
Hogan had won. others gave II 10 Brown

accounts of the fight would make it ap-
pear that Hogan did the NEST damage
and if there had been a dec.s on he should
have had it.
Don't enthuse 100 much about these re-
maTkabc batting feats that reports from
the training camps bring. The pitching

for the batsmen. There are no curves or

Though there * nothing connected with

than make base hits. nor does he give at

players who were naturally weak hitters

ECZEMA GONE, B0ILs CURED

cheeks, from which Vatery sub

our family physician, who at once pro-

for about three months BY the end
Of that time, he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as l had
read the advertisements Of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace Of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
hoils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been great sufferer During the
time of teething and from the time
dropped the doctors treatment, I used
