MOUNT ST. MARY'S SCHEDULE
Mountaineers Have Good Prospects
for Coming Season.
NJ Tho S<er

special correspondence OF The Star.
EMM1TSBURG. Md. April 1, 1912
The Mount st. Mary's College base ball
schedule, as arranged by Mr.. John H. J.
Quigley, ~. has been ratified by the
faculty. The list embraces twenty-four
contests and includes many well known
colleges, and is about the most pre-
tentious ever undertaken by any nine
representing the local institution. The
new games on the schedule this year in
clude Colgate, Dean Academy, Holy
Cross, A. & M. College Of North Carolina,
Georgetown and Notre Dame. Another
feature is the games with Gettysburg.
These games in former years were al
ways closely contested and no doubt the
same will be manifested this year.
Every indication points to a very sue
cessful season. The opening game with
Colgate University resulted in tie. The
Mountaineers entered this game with but
two days Of outdoor practice, and taking
this into consideration played an excel
lent article Of base ball.
From the work so far, If the young
pitchers can be developed, there is every
reason to feel that the Mount will be
represented by as fast an aggregation

made runs of 1876 and 112 respectively,
and seemed to have perfect command of

Poggenburg. With his big lead he made

NOW ROWING INTEREST.
Sport Has Been Suffered to Lag in
This Country.

NEW YORK, April 1T looks as If
rowing, a sport which has been sadly ne
elected in the past, will come into
its own again this summer. Where
a decade ago the sport thrived all over
the country, today there are only three
or four cities where there is the least
interest in competitive rowing.
There is no athletic sport that can be
compared with boating when 1t comes
down to the actual benefit derived from
the exercise, and yet there is not one
tenth the amount of interest shown in It
that is displayed in amateur track and
field contests.
