The Catholic University base ball team
made an exceptionally fine showing In its
game In Baltimore yesterday against the
International League team OF that city.
The Brooklanders lost, though only by a
margin of two runs, and yet they did
some mighty good work. especially when
1t is considered that they We're playing
against a class A professional club.
The really remarkable feature OF the
game yesterday was that the local boys
outhit their professional opponents. 1t
was rather a unique feature that they
were able to get out and surpass the
professionals I'm the one department in
which college teams are generally weak.
Also the team as a whole fielded well.
and showed much better Judgment than
the average college aggregation.
In speaking Of the work OF the c. u.
nine the Baltimore Sun had the follow
ing to say:
Catholic University has about the best
ball club that the Birds have seen among
to hit and are fast. They also field very
well, Zachary. Hayes and Pipp giving
several exhibitions OF quick thinking.
Their double play was very pretty. Pipp;
Hayes and Donnelly look like very good
material, while Balm, who played left
field. lived up to the reputation he made
while at Mount st. Josephs College"
A new swimming club has been organ
lied in this city. 1t will have the name
of the Washington Swimming Club. Sew
eral men have been entered In the South
Atlantic championship games to be held
in Baltimore April 1919. and as there Is
some very capable material In the club,
good showing Is expected. 1t was stated
last night that the probabilities are that
several events will be won.
The work Of Greene. the Catholic Uni
versity pitcher, yesterday Is worthy or
commentator. Not only did he hold the
professional club to minimum num-
Der of hits. but his twiriing In general
was better than anything any college
pitcher has shown in Baltimore this year.
according to the opinion of men who
watched the contest. Greene had a curve
ball working that was a puzzle as far as
connecting with 1t consistently for hits
was concerned.
One of the rules in intercollegiate has
ket ball for next year has been changed
considerably. It Is that regarding the
ball going out of bounds. Hereafter the
ball. when it has gone out of bounds, in
stead Of belonging to the team first re-
covering 1t, will 60 to the opposing five.
One OF the favorite plays OF several teams
last year was when 1t was tossed up near
the side lines. the ball would be batted

play a floor formation from the outside.
One OF the main faults to be found
with basket ball recently has been that
| there were SO many delays owing to
the fact that the ball was continually
knocked out OF bounds. The rules as
now adopted will do away with this
because of the penalty. The intent Of the
teams now will be to prevent the ball
going outside If possible, because it will
not be the desire to have 1t go into
the possession Of the opposing Quint.
Georgetown is not scheduled to play
tomorrow. 1t will not meet another col
lege team in a regularly scheduled con-
test until next week, when Harvard
is booked to appear here.
Gallaudet will go to College Park to
meet the Maryland Agricultural College
tomorrow. The Kendall Greeners. on
their showing at Georgetown. are banking
on winning from the Farmers.
Besides the game the base bali team
will play against the Gallaudet nine. the
Aggies' lacrosse twelve is scheduled to
meet the WalbrOok nine.
