TWO GAMES OF
MUCH INTEREST
important Events Scheduled
for Local College Dia-
monds Tomorrow.
PRINCETON BOOKED
TO PLAY GEORGETOWN
Catholic University Will Meet
the Maryland Aggies in
BrookIand.
BY II. c. BYRD.

Two games are scheduled here tomor-
row. both Of which should be Of excep-
uonal interest Georgetown meets Prince
ton in the first contest in which one of
the big universities figures, and Catholic
University will go against the nine from
the Maryland Agricultural College.
Unless Georgetown works in better
form than in the two games already
played, 1t is very probable that it will
again meet defeat. The Blue and Gray
team has not yet shown form that would
entitle it to victory over the Tigers,
especially if the latter have a team of
the caliber that generally represents
them 1t is probable. though, that the
local men will be able to put up q whole
lot better game than against Mount st.
Joseph's or Lafayette, although whether
or not improvement enough to guarantee
victory will be shown is something that
cannot be foreseen.
Much interest will naturally attach to
the game between the Maryland Aggies
and Catholic University because both are
local teams. The advantage will be with
the Brooklanders as far as the winning
of the game is concerned, because of the
greater experience Of the men who COM
pose their team. also because Of the
greater length of time they have had for
practice.
Both games in which local schools were
scheduled to play yesterday were post
poned because of the poor condition OF
the fields. The Catholic University nine
notified the Ursinus team that 1t would be
useless for 1t to come down because 1t
would be impossible to play. The field
was in the poorest kind Of condition. The
Maryland Aggies went to Fredericksburg
to play the Fredericksburg college nine,
but the game had to be called of for
the same reason that was the one at
Catholic University. The diamond was
a complete sea Of mud, there not being a
single spot on 1t that was not ankle
deep.
The Maryland Agricultural College is
the only school from here that is sched-
uled to play today. The Farmers are
down In Richmond. where they will meet
the Richmond College nine.
While the Aggies did not play yesterday
in Fredericksburg, they spent two hours
In practice. The regular diamond was
not in condition to play on, and an i'm
provtsed one was fixed up on the campus.
A good workout was had. although the
men were not allowed to do more than
tap the ball in the batting practice, owing
to the nearness Of the buildings.
1t is more than probable that Loomis,
the former Western High boy, Will pitch
the game today for the Farmers It may
be that Hindman will be used instead and
Loomis kept to go against Catholic Uni
versity tomorrow, but the chances are
that he will 60 in today.
Georgetown will likely meet the strong
est team tomorrow that 1t has faced this
season. Princeton had one Of the best
college ball clubs in the country last fall
and it has the nucleus of that nine back
in harness again. Its team, when 1t ap-
peared here last spring, looked exception
ally strong, and there is little doubt that
it will be stronger than either of the two
aggregations the Blue and Gray has met.
The amateur base ball commission is
scheduled to meet tonight in order to de-
termine several matters that are under
discussion. The question of the rules that
are to govern the leagues this year is the
one OF most interest and which will be
most generally discussed.
The Princeton team will be an object of
interest tomorrow because of the fact
that Tol Pendleton, who has been much
sought by major league clubs and espe-
up. There will be chance to see just
what kind of material the former Epis-
copal High lad is
mat George washington Is sincere In
its intentions to have a foot ball team
next fall is made certain by the fact that
it already has arranged it's schedule,
though it has not yet been announced.
On the list of games scheduled by the
Naval Academy for next fall George
Washington is booked to play In Annapo-
lis October %.
The other Washington eleven to play in
Annapolis is Georgetown, October IL.
