| There is hardly a doubt that taking
| it as an average the local college ball
| teams have about the best bunch or
twirlers that has ever represented
them While there may at some
| time in the past have been one man
| who excelled any Of those now doing
the box honors for the local schools,
taking them a whole. it certainly
seems that the present aggregation or
hurlers is above any of former years
Up at Georgetown there seems to be
d weakness, IN that department at pres
ent, but it is almost certainty that
in the course of a week or two some
of the men who are now gracins the
bench will be out taking their regular
turn in the box and doing good work
Up to the present time Fienli seems
good form, but it must be remembered
that Balzer. Dwinnell. Mitchell and
Lynch compose quartet that when
it is in condition will be able to
hold it's own against any of the other
teams. Especially is this true OF
Lynch, who as soon as he gets going
right will beat any college team in
the country If he pitches up TO the
form displayed last summer. When
Cantwell and Dimond were the stel
lar lights on the Blue and Gray twirl
ing staff three years ago it looked bet
ter than 1t does at present. but If those
who are doing the pitching this spring
come up to expectations they will form
a better combination than the old one.
Out at Catholic University there never
has been any two. or any one man for
that matter, who could hold candle to
either Ryan or Green. Both of the men
are in good shape and are pitching good
ball. and there is little to choose between
the two Of them. Last year Green did
Practically all the twrlins and showed
good form in nearly every game. and this
year. with capable assistant in Ryan, he
should do even better work. This pair is
pretty sure to win the majority Of games
played by the Brooklanders this season.
In Brick. Battiste and Moore Gallaudet
has the best trio which has ever repre-
scented it in the box. Brick has been do
ing his share of the pitching for the
Kendall Greeners for some time, but he
has never been in as good shape as he is
at present. and has never done as good
work. Battiste pitched in big league
day and should have won his game. The
wildness which characterized his work
was due in the main to lack of practice
this spring. as he has been playing the
outf1eld in the preliminary games. Moore
is a youngster who has plenty of stuff
and gives promise of developing into a
good pitcher in a year or SO.
Out at the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege the Farmers have had hard time
in previous years to get one good man to
do the twirling. but this spring there are
three men who are taking their regular
turn in the box, and are winning their
games with a regularity not looked for
Hoffecker Smith and Duckett have all
o. ct % iC fh0Ir ~iCt1t fIafr. i<.I,e
regulars. Hofecker SO far has pitched in
but one game. and while he did not win
that it was hardly his fault, as the Navy
was held to a 1-to-1 score in fifteen in
nings. Duckett pitched a no-hit contest
Saturday. 1t seems from the way they
have started out that any one of the
three is as good as any pitcher who has
done the pitching in the last three years
The makeup of the Bankers League
has not yet been decided. 1t developed at
the meeting held yesterday that no team
could be given the franchise, as the
committee appointed to look into the mat
ter had done very little toward getting
together a nine because of lack of time
A new constitution was adopted and
several changes were made, the most i'm
portant Of which was the making of the
eligibility code more elastic The teams
Of the banks Of the city. and they are
also provided with reserve list from
which they may choose in case of neces-
sity.
Mr.. Herrell was elected to the position
Of second vice president.
Technical High trimmed the United
States Senate team yesterday afternoon
high school team, pitched good ball, WIN
ming his game with ease. Schwegler led
with the stick getting two hits out OF
four times up.
The Corcoran Stars have organized a
team for the coming season and desire
to arrange games with all teams in the
city averaging sixteen years. For games
address Capt. G. Keane 2S07 Olive ave-
nue. northwest.
The lineup of the team will be as fol-
| lows: Davis. first base; King, third base :;
Cross, center field; Reynolds, shOrtstop:
Keane. catcher: Leonburger, second base:
Bowman. right field: HiIlery, pitcher
/ Miller. left field.
| The absence of Billy Marceron in the
| outfield for Ninth in the Sunday School
League will be more felt than any other
| loss sustained by the Churchmen from
! last season. The little center gardener,
| besides being Of the best fielders
+, in the league. was the hardest and most
| consistent hitter Many a run was driven
| in by his long walops and it was often
| that hits were cut off by his fast work
| in getting in front Of line drives. Mar
, ceron. besides being the most conSiSten [
clouter in the Sunday school circuit. was
| tied for the leadership of the Capital
City League with ''Skeets' Hayes with
a percentage of over 400.
Marceron is at present trying out with
the Liverpool team in the OhiO-Pennsyl-
Vania League, and if he can hit any
where near as well az he did in the Capt.
tai City he should have no trouble in
| making his job good. The pitching in
the O.-P. circuit is not very far above
that in the Capital City League, and he
should be able TO hit nearly as we'll in
his present berth as he did here.
Georgetown Journeys to Baltimore to-
day TO meet the Eastern League club of
that city. While it is not very likely
that the Hilltoppers will win, it is GER
tain that they should make q creditable
showing against the Orioles. The Bal
timore club is not any too good this year
| anyway. il the wallopings it has received
from the Yanisan teams of the big
leagues are TO be considered a criterion
and the Cornell nine held il to to >
score and that team hardly stands a
chance to win from Georgetown in its
present condition.
Dutch Hessler may join the professional
ranks before long. He has had offers
from Virginia League clubs and IL is
possible that he may accept one of them.
There is not a question but that the
Catholic University star could make good
in the Virginia State when he is GO
ing right he has little trouble hitting the
best of them. Besides being one of the
best hitters in the District. he is good
