Jimmy Donnelly will not play on the
base ball team at Georgetown this year.
1t has been given out that the crack Man
haitian Club player will not be found on
the Blue and Gray nine this year, and
the report is well founded. No particu-
lar reason is given as to why Donnelly
will not be q member of the team, and no
conjecture can be given. unless 1t be that
he cannot find the time to devote to prac-
tice.
Georgetown will undoubtedly lose one
of it's most valuable men in Donnelly.
Last season, while he did not play an In
field position and was used In q place
strange to him, he did some mighty cred
table work, and showed to advantage IN
almost every game he played. With an
other years development he would prob
ably put up much better article OF ball
even than he did last spring, and that
was good enough for any college aggre-
CATION
The Hilltoppers ought to make some
kind of effort to get Donnelly out for
the team this spring. as he would un-
doubleday be OF great value to 1t In either
an infield or an outfeld position 1t Is
questionable If there is another man on
the Hilltop who is a better all-round
player than is the Manhattan leader.
