does, which was due more than anything
else to the extent that he has been
overworked and still be seen at hts best
in the box. and such is undoubtedly the
case with Rixey at present. He has been
pitching about three times every week
this spring. and that is too much as
steady diet for any finger. Not only is
1t liable to put Rixey out of the running
for the rest of this season as far as
showing at his best is concerned. but II
may ruin his career forever. When an
arm starts going wrong once, then IL
, might as well be allowed to go. because
there is little likelihood Of the old ef-
fectiveness being attained again.
Put Rixey in a game against any col
lege team when he is at his best and he
would show to a whole lot better advan-
tage than he did yesterday.
The series between Georgetown and
Virginia will be decided today, and by
taking the second game from the Char
lottesville team yesterday the Blue and
Gray nine has placed itself on even terms
with it. The first game OF the series went
to Virginia in Charlottesville, while the
second went to Georgetown here. The
supremacy between the two schools will
be decided this afternoon and 1t Is need
less to say that each will not allow any
grass to grow under it's feet in Is efforts
both Georgetown and Virginia than does
any other game on the schedules.
sitterding was the heavy hitter of both
teams yesterday. The Blue and Gray out
fielder slammed the ball for two home
runs out of three times at bat.
Derrick again pitched pretty good ball
for Business yesterday, but he did not
get the kind of support that would enti-

behind Derrick.
Trinity College this afternoon. The
North Carolina school is generally repre-
scented by fast team, and it is likely
that the contest will be we'll played.
and that would seem to insure close
game. provided the southerners play as
we'll as they are expected.
Fury of Georgetown. who has not been
hitting this spring as he did last, broke
into the game in reality yesterday with
three safe cracks. From now on he will
probably hit az well or better than any
other man on the team.
The Maryland Aggies play Johns Hop
kins this afternoon at College Park. Hon.
ecker. who pitched the twelve-inning
game last Tuesday against Mount st. Jo-
seph's, will likely go back on the mound
again, While Piper is sure to work for
Hopkins.
The work Of Fienle was the feature Of
the Georgetown Virginia game yesterday
The Blue and Gray HEAVIER pitched won
derful ball against the Charlottesville
nine, and always had the game just
where he wanted it. From the first in
ming on Fienle was never hit effectively
and had apparently no trouble winning.
He had everything working to perfection.
Mixing fast and curve ball with SnIen
did judgment. Fienle had the opposing
batters worried to such an extent that
they got but two hits.
Douglas and Nef were the only two
men to connect safely with the twisters
served up by the Georgetown man.
