The Maryland Aggies will open their
home season in two branches of sport
Saturday The first games of the Ia
crosse and the base ball schedules on the
College Park field will be played. The
lacrosse will begin at o'clock and the
base ball contest will start Immediately
after. about :5;1J.
The lacrosse team will meet the Wal
brook twelve. The Baltimore club is gen.
orally represented by a fast aggregation.
and the contest should be we'll worth see
ing because the Farmers have the strong
est bunch of players that has ever rep
resented them. Lacrosse is a game that
is not PLAYED much in this section, NJ. A.

one foot ball player at NJ A, c. who
had never before seen lacrosse played
after watching two teams in a practice
scrimmage awhile. expressed his version
of the sport follows: Gee. give two
foot ball teams clubs to bang one another
over the heads with. then give them
leave to use their elbows and feet as
much as they wanted and you'd have a
fine game of lacrosse. BE that as it
may. and it undoubtedly is little ex-
aggerated, it is an interesting. though

score has shown that it ought to be able
TO play on even terms with the Farmers.
1t is probable that Rasmussen will be
pitched. and. Judging by what he did
against the Blue and Gray. he shou. q
make an excellent showing. Ii is proba-
BILE that the Farmers will oppose Ras-
mussen with Hoffecker or Loomis. al
though there is chance that White or
Hfndman may be sent to the mound.
Both games i'm which the Farmers will
take part in their opening should be
close, as the teams appear to be very
we'll matched.
Gallaudet's showing against Georgetown
yesterday was surprising. Nobody ever
thought that the Kendall Greeners would
be able to get away with as good a game
as they did. Their work in all depart
mentS of play was much better than any
shown by them in their previous con-
tests The pitching was superior. the
fielding much improved. The hitting of
the team was rather light, though. 1t is
said that the Gallaudet really outplayed
the Blue and Gray in the last few. in
nings.
The work of Rasmussen was the best
that any Gallaudet pitcher has shown
this year. The wearers of the Blue and
Gray were able to register only five
clean hits off the delivery of the big fell
low, and had it not been for the fact
that his teammates made six errors be-
hind him there would proba bly, have
been less runs scored by his opponents.
Kelley pitched remarkable ball for
Georgetown against Galiaudet for the
first seven innings yesterday. and was
able to get away with it SO we'll that he
probably found himself getting careless.
with the natural result that the opposing
aggregation began to clout the ball. For
Gallaudet man TO get TO first base. and
he was not able TO go any farther round.
Catholic University goes to Baltimore
today TO meet the International League
team of that city. The Brook landers
are planning to make the best showing
possible, they will start Greene i'm the
box. Greene is about the best man on
the staff of the local school, and that he
is to be started is evidence that the in
tention is TO come near Winning as
possible.
If Greene is in shape there j. a good
chance that the team will make better
showing than would ordinarily be ex-
pected. The Baltimore leaguers' have not

tome factor in the high school series. He
worked d tweive-inning game against the
GEORGETOWN Props Yesterday. ard his
pitching was excellent. The Props were
sble TO secure only four hits off him in
the twelve periods.
Two factors about the work OF Kelly
make il very apparent that he will tie the
hardest kind of a problem for the other
high school mines. The main one is that
during the twelve innings he had excel
cent control. giving only two bases on
balls and the other is that he must
have had a lot of stuff on the ball else he
would not have struck out sixteen men.
Eastern High lost to the Cathe dral

runs scored was almost accomplished. \
