GEORGETOWN NOT PLAYING
UP TO ITS REAL STANDARD
Team Is Not Working as 1t Did at Start
of Scason-Should Do Bet -
ter Today.

ever ball is hit in that direction O'Con-
nor leaves either the pitcher or second
baSeman to get 1t, while he covers
first. when he should do the fielding and
of the plays as O'Connor works them is
that many Of them at first are made ex-
ceptionally close, and sometimes go
against his team when they should be
easy outs
Catholic University found little trouble
winning from Trinity yesterday. The
Connecticut AGGREGATION put up about the
poorest article Of ball that any team has
done this year, with the exception of
Johns Hopkins. The pitching was not
up to standard and the support accorded
TO the mound workers was not all that it
might have been, by any means.
Although it had a lead of four runs
in the first inning, Trinity was unable to
hold the Brooklanders in check. The
Northern nine seemed to go all to pieces
in every department, leaving the game
walkaway for the local school.
Ryan. who started the game in the box
for Catholic University yesterday, is not
pitching in anything like the form he did
last season There were few times when
he started last spring that he was not
able to hold his own against any OF the
college aggregatiOns. He had a drop ball
then that seemed almost -unhittable. This
season Ryan does not seem nearly as
effective as he was last.
The Maryland Aggies again start their
schedule tomorrow afternoon. when they
face the William and Mary College nine.
The Virginians will come here today to
meet Catholic University, and will go out
to College Park tomorrow to play the
Farmers. Saturday the Aggies will come
in town to have an argument with Cath
Ollie University. 1t should be an inter-
esting one.
1t is probable that Smith will pitch
tomorrow for the Aggies and that Hof-
fecker will work against c. L. Saturday
When Georgetown plays Cornell today
II is certain that it will meet q much
improved team over that which faced the
local professional club last Saturday.
| the first time that it had been outdoors,
| while now it has played two or more
| games.
The fact that the Ithaca nine played
| Virginia to such a close score yesterday
Is indicative of just how much it has
| improved.
| 1t is practically certain that George
| town will pitch Fienle today. Heffernan
/ worked Monday. and both O'Connor and
| White took turn at ii yesterday That
leaves Fienle as the logical choice.
White. the Georgetown twirler, is the
only college pitcher appearing here who
has used the knuckle ball. 1t is a diffi-
| cult delivery to control, but White seems
to have mastered 1t to such an extent
that he can get 1t over about as we'll as
he does his fast one.
The fact that Technical High has such
an experienced pitcher as Austin should
give that team the advantage in the High
School series Austin demonstrated yes
terday that he Is in shape to start the
series tomorrow, II needs be-
| Tech looks to be even stronger than IL
was last year. when 1t ran away with the
High School championship.
The claim is already made that Central
and Tech will fight it out for the cham
pionship, and that may not be far from
right To date those two teams have
shown about twice as much strength as
has either of the others.
The game that Georgetown will play
this afternoon will be its last until il
, meets Harvard next Tuesday. Then
again next week three contests will be
PLAYED, Harvard. ST. Johns and NJ A C..
being scheduled to oppose the Blue and
Gray.
