base ball squad in shape for the wash
ington College game here Saturday
The team has not only been In slump,
but injuries have placed the men In a
very poor Condition. The loss OF Schick
was keeniy felt, now Costello is laid up
with a sore hand, and Malloy Is In the
infirmary With severe cold. Although
the Washington College team is not look
ed upon as being strong aggregations
owing to the weakness of the locals the
outcome of Saturdays contest is being
anxiously awaited. With prospects OF a

KEEP COACH HARLEY,
ISGEORCETOWN'S PLAN
Base Ball Nine Members I'm.
pressed With Value of Serv-
ices He Rendered.

That Georgetown will endeavor to
secure the services of Coach Harley,
who handled the base ball team during
the past spring. to look after the nine
for next year seems certain from the
information received yesterday. Chris
Fienle. who was recently elected cap
tain of the team. stated that Coach
Harley had impressed him during the
past spring and that he would do all
he could to secure the services of this
man for next year. Fienle stated that
Harley's valuable base ball experience
is worth considerable to the youngsters
who are trying out for the team. This
past season he developed one man that
will surely be OF valuable assistance
young mans name is Mccarthy. Har-
ley took this lad in charge early in
the year because he looked very prom
Using. Mccarthy Is nothing but mere
boy, but possesses great speed and
fine underhand curve ball.
Before Harley left for his home In
Philadelphia 1T is understood he was
offered the job for next season, but de-
clined to sign a contract then, prefer
ring to wait until later on. Since
then. however. he has been giving the
matter careful consideration, because,
considering the fact that Georgetown
usually plays all her games in about
a month, the money paid a coach is
easily earned. While. Coach Harley
had to put up with great many set
backs which the team encountered
during the year. still the showing was
not so bad. because his team was made
up mostly of youngsters. Then again
at the beginning of the season the bad
weather gave the team poor start
With all these things taken into con-
sideration the showing made by the
team was not SO poor.
With Coach Harley on hand next
year it is safe to say that the Blue
and Gray will be represented by a
very strong team. He will have prac-
tically the whole team back. and with
any kind of a good start he should
give Georgetown a strong nine.

Calvary lost a good chance to win a
game through good fielding and the in
ability of kohr to stop the Congrega-
tionalists from purloining bases. They
were lucky to tie the score at three
points, which they did in the fifth.
The Mount Pleasant boys deserved to
win, for they played good game all the
WV. and took advantage OF every mis-
play by Calvary. They found that kohr' s
arm was weak and stole bases on him
time and again.
GalIeher, who was on the mound for
Calvary. should have won his game, as
he only allowed three hits and struck out
five. Pfeffer also pitched good game
and was backed by some very excep-
tional fielding.
Henry. the lead-off man for Calvary.
