to revive the sport this spring. Little has
matters are being adjusted now so that
the organization may be represented in
the several tournaments in this section
by a very capable team The annual
tournament which will be held by the
club will also take place some time in
September.
a meeting of the members of the club
was held last night and there was a good
ly representation. The meeting was held
specifically for the election of officers and
to discuss plans whereby the club could
be placed in the forefront of tennis or
CARNATIONS again. The club is the oldest
tennis organization in the south, and
some of the best players in the sections
are members OF it. a strong aggregation
of players will be entered in the middle
Atlantic tourney. which is to be held by
the Columbia club this spring.
Two new members were elected to the
board of governors at the meeting. They
were Joshua Evans and Al r. Howard,
who held the championship of the Dis
trict at one time. Harold Doyle, brother
of Connie DOYLE, was chosen as presi-
dent of the club, DIR. l.. E. Fisher as vice
president and Arthur Helen as secretary
and treasurer.
Trayers of Catholic University distin-
guished himself yesterday by securing
what was probably the first no-hit game
that has ever been pitched against one of
the big universities in this section. The
Brooklander got away to good start and
held his own during the entire Contest.
1t seemed that the Cornell players could
only hit the ball into the ground. as the
number Of assists for the infielders and
the put-outs for the first baseman of the
local nine would seem to indicate. Tray
ers must have pitched about the best ball
that he has shown this season. He
worked well. was not Wild and fieded his
position in better form than usual. He
made one error out of seven chances,
and, strange to say, that was one which
caused run to be scored against him.
1t has been said that the Catholic Uni
versity would be lacking in pitching
talent next year. That may be, but it
would seem from present indications that
there will be one or two men who will not
be poor performers by any means. Tray
ers and Carter have both shown excellent
form on more than one occasion this
spring, the former having won games
from big schools, and the latter showing
wen on the occasions when he has been
used to finish contests. Carter Is left
handler. in the sophomore class, while
Trayers is a Highlander and has three
more years at the Brookland school.
The report that Hennessy has been bar
red from base ball at Georgetown comes
rather as a surprise. 1t has been gen.
orally understood that the Blue and Gray
institution did not consider the five-month
agreement 1t has with Virginia as applying
to any other school. 1t was hardly likely
that he would have been used against
Virginia anyway, but that should be
kept from all the games this spring was
entirely unexpected. Georgetown Is In
competition with big universities, and 1t
has too small a student body in compari-
son to place restrictions on the number
Of men II may use.
In the two games in which he played
Hennessy showed himself to be a fine
performer. That makes his loss to the
team an exceptional one, especially when
good hitters, as he proved himself to be.
are very much needed. A brilliant per-
former in three branches Of sports. Hen
messy will prove himself Of the greatest
value to Georgetown teams in the next
two years.
Zachary of the Catholic University nine
was the only man on the team who got
more than one hit yesterday. The Sec
ond baseman connected with the ball for
two safeties out of three trips to the
plate.
Incidentally it might be mentioned that
the Brookland team did less hitting yes
terday than in any contest this year. 1T
is probably the first contest of the sea-
son in which it has secured no more
than six hits.
Washington College is the only college
i'm the state of Maryland that will not be
played by the Maryland AgEies this year.
The Farmers have one or two contests
with every other institution The lack
of a game. with the Chestertown team,
though, is not apt to affect the result
of the state championship. Washing
ton College has already been defeated
by Hopkins by decisive margin and is
not liable to figure to any extent here
after in the championship race. Hopkins.

excellent chance for the title. and 1T will
probably not finish worse than in sec
