There is a possibility that Pipp, the
Catholic University first baseman, will
become a member of the Boston National
League club. scout was sent out by
Manager Stallings of the Boston team
to watch Pipp in the game against Am
herst last Friday. Just what his report
was has not been divulged. but that Pipp
has attracted enough attention to war
rant the sending of man to pass on
his merits is sufficient to attest to his
abilities
While Pipp would probably not be able
to make good in the big league, there
is not the least doubt in the world but
that he is much too capable a player
to be performing a college nine. lie
could make good in the majority OF
minor leagues with ease. and, Judging
by his work in the games here TINS
spring, he seems deserving of trial
in one of the class y organizations.
man associated with one of the class A
leagues made statement to the effect
that in his opinion Pipp would be worth
a mighty good trial in any one of the
class A circuits.
Men go from the college ranks every
year and make good in the different
leagues and Pipp has had something
on every man who has played first base
positions here this season. He has proved
himself more capable hitter. more
accurate fielder and has shown more
advanced knowledge Of the game. He
should be star in class B or class
c league
GEORGETOWN seems to have struck

success. The Blue and Gray players
have shown much superior form during
the last few contests to that exhioited
In the early games. and there is every
reason to believe that the same kind of
game will be played during the remainder
of the season. OF course much depends
on whether or not the pitchers will be
able to hold their own. There Is not
another man on the squad who can real

be that Lynch can hold his own. The

and field, Georgetown's chances of fin
ishing a successful season will be greatly
enhanced. The Blue and Gray has need
ed just such a player to give 1t the
needed strength. and ii seems to have
found him in Hennessy.
GaIlaudet has undertaken what is, per-
haps, one of the most difficult schedules
Il has ever attempted in foot ball for
next season. The Buff and Blue has ar
ranged to meet stronger teams than in
years and as a whole it's list of contests
will be much more difficult than in
quite a while. The first game of the
year VIII be with Washington and Lee
In Lexington on October T. 1t has al
ways been the policy of the Kendall
Greeners not to play games against such
strong teams In the early part of the
season, and ii will be very interesting to
note what will be the result of the de-
parture George Washington is sched-
uled to appear against the Buff and Blue
