yette goes to Georgia; Penn State and the
North Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical College are booked to try each

Next week several of the northern

| PennsylVania are scheduled to play al
American League Park Monday, and &C.
cording to the amount of notice the meet
ing is receiving there is certainly a great
| amount of interest attached. There is q
long-stanliag rivalry between the Quak
ers and OfdFEli and each team will prob

est powers In order to get away with 8
victory If possible.
Holden, who pitched for Western High
i and who is now with the Lafayette nine
won his first game of the season yester
day, when he defeated the University OF
South Carolina. The Washington DO,

very steadily and pitched ball that would
win almost any college contest. Holder
did not pitch the whole game, being re
moved in the last three innings. after thu
game had been made safe. He set sever
men down on strikes during the time III
was on the mound
It might be mentioned in this connec
| ton that there was another former West
! ern boy who did some mighty creditabls
work in the box yesterday. He is Loomis

Aggies. let the Richmond College nine
down with four scattered hits. T4oomi.

his work was that the was wild at times
giving five bases on balls, but that was

worked before.
Holden pitched at Western and carried

tic championship, then lost the last con.
| test, and it was remarkable coincidence
| that LOOMS came along the following
year and did the very same thing. Both
have made good with their college teams
1t is reported that Fienle will pitch fol
Georgetown today against Princeton
| Ffenle Is probably not in very good shape
but it is thought that, notwithstanding
that. he will prove more effective against
| the Tigers than anybody else who could
l Ee Used E1Qnla did excellent work
against Mount st. Joseph's when not il

| the best chance he has of accomplishing
| a victory is to start Fienle.
| In the game this afternoon. in which
the Maryland Agges are scheduled tC
meet the Catholic University. it is prob.
able that Ryan and HOffecker will be the
; opposing pitchers. Ryan has not vel
| worked for Catholic University. and he
has been counted on as one of the main
stays, which seems to indicate that he
will certainly be the choice. Hoffecker
who beat the Navy Wednesday for the
Farmers. will go against the Broolsland-
| ers. If Hoffecker can come back after
the two days rest he is liable to hold
| the Brooklanders more closely than they
are expecting.
| The Maryland Aggies' nine had an easy
| time getting away with the Richmond
team yesterday The Farmers played a
better fielding game. and also hit better
! than their rivals. The field was in very
poor condition, too, and the errors made
| by both teams were very excusable. The
main fault in the fielding Of the Rich
mond nine was in its throwing. The play
ers did not seem able to toss the heavy
| ball with any accuracy at ALL That and
the fact that the Virginians were unable
| to hit LOOMS, gave the Aggies an easy
victory.
