Catholic U. Quint Loses to St. Johns
PRNNSY MAY NOT
PLAY GEORGETOWN
Teams Cannot Agree Upon Date
and Baseball Schedule Is
Held Up.

It was learned from Manager Hsg-
gerty, OF the Georgetown baseball team.
yesterday that Pennsylvania might be
missing from the Hilltop schedule this
year because Of conflict in the dates.
This Is the main reason why the
schedule is not completed, as the Pennsy
date is the only one not settled upon,
and the hustling manager is working
overtime to land this team for even one
game on his schedule.
It will be remembered that last year
Georgetown had two games with this
team on the Friday and Saturday after
Easter week, and only one game was
played, Georgetown winning. The sec.
ond game was never played. as the field
was in a poor condition after a heavy
rainfall Manager Haggerty has offered
these two same dates to Penn this year
but they are not acceptable.
AS Penn plays Johns Hopkins at Bal
dmore April l9. II Is barely possible that
they might be induced to come here on
the 18th, and every effort is being made
TO get them here on this date. Manager
Haggerty has written the management
and Is now awaiting a reply.
Fordham may be absent from the Hill
top schedule on Patriots Day, the ac-
customed date which the two big Catho-
lie universities meet In New York. For
number Of years these teams have
met on this annual date. No reason was
given by Manager Haggerty why these
two teams will not meet.
II is hoped that Georgetown and Cat
ole University will meet this year be-
cause of the intense baseball rivalry
which exists between these two local
universities.
1t seems that the Blue and Gray man
agement Is desirous Of having all the
games played on the Hilltop diamond.
because the belief is that the attendance
would be greater. and that more money
would be made on the series. The series
between two universities has always at
tracted a big crowd, and It Is thought
that the crowd can be better accom-
modated on the Hilltop grounds than in
Brookland.
The best OF feeling prevails between
these schools, and Il is hoped by all
that the series will be arranged. II is
also thought that such a minor trouble
will not stand in the way Of arranging
the games.
