Games Today.

GEORGETOWN vs.. Cornell, at Georgetown. West
| Eastern High VS.. Gallaudet. at Kendall Green
The real college base ball season opens
today. So far there has not been sin
gle big game played, with the exception
| Of that between Georgetown and Cornell
| last Friday, but beginning with this
afternoon the teams will be kept busy for
the rest of the season, meeting clubs
which are recognized as being the best
college teams in the country. And es-
pecially will this be true for the next
ten days. after the Easter holidays begin,
Wednesday.
For the next fourteen days Georgetown
will play the hardest schedule under
taken by any southern institution. Every
one of the big college teams will be met
in succession. with the exception of Har-
ward. Today Cornell is on the card, We'd
nesday the Baltimore Eastern League
club will be played, Thursday F'ordham
will be the attraction and Saturday
Princeton. Then in succession will come
Princeton again. Yale. Holy Cross, Penn
sylvania for two games, Virginia, North
Carolina and the North Carolina A. &
NJ. Just how the Hilltoppers will stand
up under the list of contests is hard to
tell, although 1t would seem that 1t will
mainly be due to the work Of the pitch
ers whether or not a good record is to be
made. From the way they played against
Cornell last week the other men give
every evidence Of being able to hold up
their end Of it. and If the twirlers are
able to do their share in holding the Oppo-
sition to a few hits there is little doubt
that the Blue and Gray will have good
record at the end of the Easter con-
tests.
Catholic University, while it does not
have nearly as classy a list Of games as
Georgetown, will meet some mighty good
teams. It's schedule will begin Wednes-
day with the Fordham team, and will be
followed by Bucknell. Columbia, Ran
dolph- Macon. Manhattan. Johns Hopkins,
Delaware, North Carolina, North Caro-
lima A. and NJ. and Rock Hill. The
Brooklanders do not play every day as
does Georgetown, and this in itself will
be a big help to the teams percentage
are doing good work can be used in all
the games, and the twirlers who are not
up to standard will not have to be de-
pended on, as will be the case with
Georgetown in some Of it's contests.
Neither the Maryland Aggies nor CAL
laudet has as extensive an Easter sched-
ule as have Georgetown and Catholic
University. The Farmers will meet the
University Of Maryland tomorrow after
noon at College Park and then will not
play again until the last Of next week.
when the Staunton Military Academy.
Washington and Lee, Virginia Military
Institute and West Virginia University
will be played one after the other. Gal
laudet has never played much during
Easter week. and this year will be no
departure from the former policy. We'd
nesday Eastern College will be played
and Saturday the team will journey to
Baltimore for the annual contest with
Mount Washington. There will be a
lay-off then until the following Satur-
day, when ST. Johns College will be the
visiting team on the home grounds.
Taking everything into consideration,
there is likely to be some classy base ball
shown on the local college diamonds dur
ing the next ten or twelve days, with
the home teams winning goodly per-
centage Of them. While Georgetown, ow-
ing to a scarcity Of good twirlers, will
likely drop one or two, it is sure that
nearly all will be we'll played Catholic
University is sure to make good show
ing against the teams 1t meets, and so
are Gallaudet and NJ. A. c.
About all that is now necessary for the
District League to be in shape to start
bylaws to conform to those of the anna
teur commission, as 1t seems that the
league will come under the jurisdiction
of that body. At the meeting yesterday
another club was admitted to the league
to take the sixth franchise, thus complet-
ing the circuit Of six clubs.
1t was announced by the GROUNDS COM
mittee that the field will be In condition
by the beginning of the season. and
would be one of the most up-to-date
parks in the city.
No schedule was adopted. but the open
ing dates were awarded to the Aloysius
club and the Commissioners.
The Capital City League did not trans
| act anything other than the routine busl-
ness at its meeting yesterday. Nothing
was done regarding the 1our-ciub Or
ganization, only four clubs being rep
resented at its meeting AS the other two
| clubs have evidenced no intention to
support teams in the league, there Is lit
| tie reason to believe that 1t Will be any
\ peciaily since it has been given out by
| the managers of the teams that they do
not want poor base ball. and do not see
any place where they can get together
| another club to take the franchises left
vacant, which would be able TO hold up
| its head in the class OF ball to De played
| in the league this season.
| GEORGETOWN and Cornell will again try
| conclusions on the diamond this after

1 morning after having played the Balti-
