FOR OPEN PRACTICE
Six Positions Still to Be

Candidates for the Georgetown Prep
Scnooi baseball team had been ordered
to report for initial outdoor work today,

all possibilities of carrying cut the di.

Will be substituted.
With but three veterans left for the
Prep team there will be six positions
to be filled with new men, and this un-
doubtedly accounts for the great
amount of interest which exists among
the Blue and Gray youngsters. From
present indications 1t appears that ther3
will be at least three candidates for
every position, and, as many of the
men who have sisniEed their intention
or reporting come to the West End
School with enTiable diamond reputa-
tions, prospects of a banner year for
the embryo collegians are very bright.
Captain McCarty, who is expected to
be the teams mainstay in the box this
year, Is very optimistic, and expects his
team to be successful in winning the
scholastic championship, as they did
last year. Besides McCarty on the
mound the aggregation will probably
have Corbett and Phillips, two of the
most promising youngsters that have
years. Corbett pitched for Mt. ST.

spring, and held the strong A. and NJ.

OF the 1873 who figured in the National program of the
year, only Pasker Of Philadelphia; Hobtzel, of Gin

every fight.

The Effete Athlete.

The brca of balloon is getting to be too fragile
lifted its with the cotton padding pulled
away. The main task which confronts every mogul
day, upon the edge Of camp life. is that of perfectng
condition and toughenng up the sinews of battle For
contests lost through depleted ranks than in
any other way
Nursing the fragile athlete into condition without
the pink wearing off too is probably the toughest
problem in camp life the summed-up details will
