Catholic University has the best col
lege team in the South. and one of the
best in the country. That has been
demonstrated time and again this sea-
son when the Brooklanders have beaten
>Q,e best Of the collegiate aggregations
nbsve. toured the South on their
victories over aAhnan,araherst, Penn
State, Lafayette. SwartnS nRR6 Holy
Cross stamps the Red and Bfa~ -
as the premier outfit of this section.
Coach Moran played Virginia without
having had the team on the diamond
more than twice. and that he was able
to get away with a win over the
Charlottesville aggregation speaks well
for the individual ability of the members
of the team.
Moran is an able coach--in fact, about
as good a mentor ball club could Sc
cure. Moran has the material to work
with, and 1t would not be surprising to
see the Brookfanders go through the en-
tire season without a defeat at the hands
OF college team.
Playing thirtytwo games, the Brook
landers are up against a hard schedule.
Thirty of the games are with the college
teams and two with professional outfits.
IL to 4, and will battle the Baltimore
Eastern League club in Baltimore next
Thursday in Baltimore. This will wind
up the games with the leaguers.
Catholic University will stack up
against Cornell next Tuesday at Brook
land, and il will be interesting to note
the scores of the Georgetown and Cath
olic University games There is but lit
tie doubt but that Catholic University
could defeat Georgetown with ease just
at present. the way the Brooklanders are
going, but in the past the Georgetown
team always puts up a great game
against Catholic University team. and
should a game be arranged battle royal
would result.
In Cy Pipp, the big first sacker, Coach
Moran has the most promising ball play
er who has been seen in college ranks
in this section for some little time.
Pipp is without a doubt the best looking
first sacker in college ranks in this Sec
ton of the country. A big, rangy chap,
he covers a world of ground around
the initial sack, and is wonder al
pickingio low throws out of the dirt. When
it comes to smacking out the singles
which won the old ball games, Cy is
there with both feet. Pipp is rated as
the premier first sacker of the South,
and he deserves the title.
Coach Moran has another star i'm Chief
Greene, the Indian hurler. Greene has been
the Red and Black mainstay in the box
for the past three years, and has always
delivered the goods. Chief Is about the
best college pitcher in the District, and
with a hitting team, like the G. U.
crowd behind him, would trim any college
club in the country. Greene is a pitcher
nf vryhn r,tt oh
ball under almost any. conditions, and
that c. U. is lucky in having him
around is putting it mildly.
One man who has always put up a
good game in every branch of the
sport at the Brookland institution is
Red" Mcdonnell, the scrappy catcher
Of the ball club. Mac is one of the
most popular students at Catholic Uni
versity, and Is always full OF pep"
A rafting good catcher, Coach Moran
is using Mac" in the cleanup posi-
ton, which shows that the receiver
also is some pumpkins with the willow.
On second base Coach Moran is US
ing Pep Zachary. the youngster who
caught few games last season. Zach"
is a nifty little fielder and a great man
to lead the batting order. A good
waiter, Zach" gets on regularly. and
is always there with the speed around
the bases
"Skeets' Hayes, the Brooklanders'
short fielder, needs no introduction to
local fans. As a member OF the Cor
nell and Bankers teams the past three
years. "Skeets" has always been in the
lead of the shortstops,. and, In fact, Is
about the best short fielder In town. A
clever fieider. Hayes is good hitter.
and can wait them out. He Is an In
valuable man to Coach Moran
