Scheduled, Thursday.
SEVERAL HARD GAMES
BOOKED THIS WEEK
Georgetown Has Three, Cath
Ollie U. Three and Maryland
Aggies Two.
By H. c. BYRD.

Catholic University will play the La
fayette nine this afternoon instead OF
Thursday. The Brooklanders were sched-
uled to meet the Pennsylvanians Thurs
day, but owing to an interruption in the
list Of games the latter were to play in
the south the contest was put on for
today.
The Lafayette team was supposed to
meet Virginia Wednesday, but the rain
interfered with the game. Then 1t was
found that the team would be unable to
get to Lexington for the games sched-
uled for today and tomorrow on account
Of the floods. after which the c. Z. man.
agement was communicated with in
order to get the game for today If pos
sible. Manager Lambert Of the local
school agreed to the change. and conse-
quentH it will be played this afternoon.
The Lafayette team will bend all its
efforts to Break the winning streak OF
have a fast team, but the fact that they
will probably not be able to work their
| best pitcher will mean that they will
not have the same chance Of winning as
sibility that Holden. the former Western
pitcher. will do the twirlins. He has
| done some good work In several Of the
contests and he should be able to make
a good showing. 1t Is certain that Meyers,
| who played on the same Western nine
Meyers has been hitting the ball well
| and doing even better work than he did
! on the local scholastic team last sea-
son.
There are several games scheduled for
| this week In which the local college
! teams will be extended to the limit e
| finish in front. Georgetown has q sched-
ule ahead Of 1t that will not prove easy
/ by any means.
| ThesBlue and Gray nine is booked to
meet Johns Hopkins Wednesday. the
Maryland Aggies Thursday and Cornell
Saturday. Catholic University will also
play three games In which 1t IL not no
without some hard work. Today Lafa-
yette will be met, tomorrow the Ma
tlenals will be played. and Friday AM
herst will be here to do battle with
are scheduled to go against George
town Thursday and will play Rock
Hill Saturday. Just what Georgetown
will accomplish against the mines 1t II
booked to play is questionable. The
Blue and Gray will meet Hopkins Wed
nesday, and. it. should be able to win
from the Baltimore nine. GEORGETOWN
has always been able to win from the
Maryland Aggies, nor matter what the
conditions and the tradition WIN favo,
/
pitchers are in good shape, though
they will make trouble for the Blue
and Gray bunch. Cornell has never
proved an easy proposition, and 1t il
not likely to be that this spring, es-
| pecially when it Is considered that II
is coming south in q great deal bette
shape than it has previously.
Catholic University will be fayorite
over the Lafayette nine today. although
It may be that it will lose for the first
time this season. Tomorrow the Brook
landers are certain to lose to the Ma
tionals. Greene will probably be pitched
against the big league club, although he
might as well be saved to go against
college teams in an emergency. Amherst
will be here Friday to meet the c. u.
bunch. and it viii probably come with q
better club than 1t had last spring.
/ The Maryland Aggies will tackle
Georgetown with the best team they
have had in a long while. Much will de-
pend on whether or not their pitchers are
In good shape az to whether or not they
will show well. On what they have shown
l SO far, the Farmers should win from
Rock Hill Saturday. the Ellicott City
team having already lost to two state
| college teams,
