HAS GOOD SCHEDULE
Only % Games for George
town, But They Are Classy.
OPEN WITH MT. ST. JOSEPH
Washington's First Game at Home
Will Be With the
Hilltoppers.

The Georgetown base ball schedule
which was given out by Manager Har-
rington contains twenty-five games. 1t
is by far one of the smallest base ball
schedules ever made up at Georgetown.
Manager Harrington accounted for this
when he stated that he could have OBJ
tanned games with several minor teams
had he so desired. but that there was
no gain in meeting teams that were not
the leading teams of the country. Be
sides this it is necessary to pay ball
teams a good guarantee in order to get
them on the schedule. and as the team
last year lost $1,000 ii is by no means
advisable to play small teams and pay
them a large guarantee
This year Georgetown will open the
season March Is against Mount St
Joseph's College of Baltimore. This team
gave GEORGETOWN good battle last year
and not until the latter part of the game
was the Blue and Gray nine able to- win
out For this reason Manager Tom Har-
rngton decided that this team would be
a good one to play on the opening date
as il would give Coach Harley a good line
on the men he intends to use in the big
games which follow directly after this
contest
The Lafayette game is an annual affair
and will be played March 10.
Princeton comes here for two games,
one TO be played Easter SaturdaE. March
%. and the other game to be played on
the following Monday. March ~. Usually
these two games are the best on the
hilltop schedule Last season they DIRE"
a larger crowd than any other team
played by GEORGETOWN. The Princeton
alumni in Washington were very strong
for these two games, and Manager Tom
Harrington put them on his schedule for
the two best dates he had 20 offer.
The following Tuesday, Marcn %. Yale
will appear here. Last year George town
had but very little trouble in defeating
Yale They always furnish the Blue and
Gray nine with an excellent game. ana
IL can he said that Georgetown usually
makes money on this particular contest
Tackle the Nationals.
Following the Yale game here Wednes-
day. March %. comes the game with the
Washington club of the American
League, That the Blue and Gray man.
acer was able to obtain such a fine date
for this contest speaks we'll for Harring
ton Last year Manager Hasserty of the
GEORGETOWN team was able to make 500
this particular game. 1t was great
help to the team, as il served to place
the financial end of the team on good
basis. Georgetown gave the Nationals
n fine game last year. The score was
to 3. With the showing made by the
team in the opening game last year
there is bound TO be a much larger crowd
on hand. Besides this it will be, the
first appearance of the Nationals at home.
and as all of the enthusiastic fans will
hc more than anxious TO see how some
ot the new men on the Washington team
shape up Georgetown will come pretty
near to making 81 900 on this contest.
Something that no other Georgetown
base ball manacer has been able to do
.Lanager Harrington has accomplished.
and that is booking the Navy team of
Annapolis in two games Directly after
the game with the Nationals Georgetown
will play at Annapolis March 20. They
will also meet the Navy in the closing
game of the year-May q. For the last
four years the Naval Academy nine has
been unable to win game from George
town This year Georgetown was Ter-
suaded to play at Annapolis. The mid
shipmen gave them one of their very best
dates.
Georgetown has never played Johns
Hopkins in base ball. This year the Bal
timore nine will journey to Washington
Tor a game April = Usually the Johns
Hopkins team is a formidable aggrega-
tion, and might prove TO be a hard
game for the hilltoppers.
