The college base ball teams are near
ing the end OF their schedules. Though
the northern schools have yet many
important contests to play, the schools
in this section are about ready to quit
for the year.
Two of the largest institutions in the
south ended their schedules some time
ago-Georgetown and Virginia. Vir-
ginia had fairly successful season.
winning it's series from Georgetown
and doing very creditable work against
the big northern mines. Georgetown
had one Of the poorest seasons that it
has gone through in quite while. 1t
was not able to show anything like the
consistent form of previous years, and
played in and out ball through it's en-
tire list of games
Catholic University and Gallaudet
have few more games to play. Gal
laudet is scheduled to play twice. Catholic
University has four games remain
ing and the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege will appear in FIVE more contests.
The NJ A. {. schedule will run over a
week longer than the other two
schools. it being down to play it's last
game against Dickinson in Carlisle,
June Z. The other Maryland colleges
have gone through the most important
parts Of their schedules, but still have
games to play. Nearly all will end
their seasons before the first of June.
though.
Only two more really important games
are to be played. Catholic University is
to meet Notre Dame. which is the largest
Catholic school in the west athleticalIy
considered. at any rate. For this reason
the Brooklanders will be especially pleas
ed to get away with the contest. The
other game that looms up as being above
the average. is that to take place between
NJ. A. c. and st. Johns at College Park
Saturday. One other game that has
always been Of much interest IS that be-
tween Johns Hopkins and st. Johns. It
was booked for last Saturday, but was
not played because Of poor weather con-
ditions. Whether or not it will take
place later is not known.
Catholic University is scheduled to meet
the following teams during the remainder
of its schedule: NOtre Dame. Gallaudet,
Maryland Agricultural College and Seton
Hall: NJ. A. c. has yet to play st. Johns.
Mount st. Mary's, Dickinson, Mount st.
Joseph's and Catholic University.
Catholic University has had fine sea-
son. and had it done better on its trip
through the north would probably have
established a record far above any made
by a college nine in the south in many
years. The NJ A. c. nine has gone
through very successful season SO far.
1t has won twelve out of fourteen games,
and has taken the last nine straight.
While a majority of the most important
games in the southern section have al
ready been played, teams north OF the
get into the really big games of their
schedules Brown and Yale appear to be
leading in the race for the intercollegiate
championship, and they have to meet
again. Yale defeated Brown in the first
contest between the two schools in an
eleven-inning game. Harvard has yet
to play Princeton: Yale and Princeton
have not played either of the games they
are scheduled for. and several of the
other big schools are to be seen against
one another. notably the game in which
Cornell will meet Yale. That will proba-
bly, not count for any great DEAL though.
as Cornell seems to be much weaker
than usual this season
Williams, the team that was given the
intercollegiate championship last year, is
hardly in the running this season. 1t
can do no better than hope to secure a
rating as high as possible. Incidentally.
it might be mentioned in this connection
that the Williams nine lost to Princeton
this spring for the first time in five years.
Williams undoubtedly misses the services
of a pitcher such as it had last year.
Davis, who went to the New York High
landers, was the man who held up the
team in the big games it played in 1912.
1t is likely that the, game scheduled
in the school series between Eastern and
Western for tomorrow will be put off till
Saturday or some other day this week.
The competitive drill is to take place to-
day and tomorrow and there Will be no
time to hold o base ball game while that
is going on. Many OF the players on the
several teams drill. and even il they did
not the conflict would not be allowed.
The Eastern Western contest is going
to be one OF the most interesting Of the
whole series. Not only is the champion
ship at stake. but. it has been SO long
since an Eastern team was up that high
fighting for the honor that exceptional
in .erest will be manifested on that ac-
count. 1t Is rather remarkable that the
two teams that have heretofore been
fighting 1t out for the title are not even
in the running. Central and Tech, which
have nearly always been prominent fac

have not even had look-in this spring.
