VS.. Seton Hall Again.

All the local college base ball teams
are scheduled to play today. Two will
meet cubs on their home diamonds and
two will go to other fields
What is probably the most important
contest is that in which Georgetown is
scheduled to meet Virginia at Charlottes-
vile. The Blue and Gray nine has been
playing good ball in it's recent contests,
and 1t should show we'll against it's old
rival. Fienle will be in the box for
Georgetown. and he will be opposed by
Grant. Grant is the big left-hander who
beat Georgetown last year in the second
game on the hilltop, after Rixey had lost
by score of 5 to 0. The chances are
that Grant will not get away as easily
this spring as he did last, it being the
general opinion that he was lucky to win
the game in 1912. Even while he. got the
credit for the victory, it will be remem-
'bered that RiXey was sent in to finish the
contest. Fienle, if he works in the form
he has shown recently, will be effective,
although 1t is fact that Virginia has a
hard-hitting team, having scored many
runs in almost every contest in which it
has appeared.
Catholic University will play the Seton
Hall team the second of the two-game
series. The Brooklanders lost yesterday
in a decidedly surprising manner. They
were completely outclassed, but it is likely
There is reason for thinking that the Red
and Black will not continue in such a
slump as it has been affected by during
the last two days. Two successive de-
feats hardly sets well with a previously
unblemished record, and there will be no
lack of effort to get back into the winning
stride today
The Maryland Aggies are scheduled to
meet Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. The
Farmers and Hopkins should engage in a
for of neither Hopkins has shown a
greater scoring power during the pre-
Niolis part of the season, but it has been
less strong on the defensive. The game
is one in the series for the state cham
pionship and is undoubtedly one of the
most important. Hopkins and NJ. A. 6.
appear to be strong as any other state
teams. and, If anything. little stronger.
Neither has yet suffered defeat at the
hands of another nine in the state.
Galladuet is scheduled to meet the
Mount Washington nine at KeAdall
Green. The Buff and Blue boys, after
their showing against Georgetown, figure
that they will have a good chance to
show we'll against any of the mines in this
section. Moore or Rasmussen will do the
pitching for the local nine.
The greatest surprise that has been
handed out in base ball in this city in a
long while was given the Business High
bunch yesterday in it's game against East
ern. That Eastern should be able to win
from the Stenographers after the manner
in which the latter have gone after all
the teams they have met in the practice
season, was to say the least, not expected
Business has been tOuted as having one
OF the best teams in the series. and even
after losing yesterday 1t was the gen.
orally expressed opinion that it was SUI
perior to the nine that defeated it.
Kelly, who has been making a great
reputation in scholastic circles recently
by the manner In which he has been
pitching, failed to do better work than
Johnson, the Eastern lad who won his
game. Kelly was not as effective as the
light blue and white twirler, and the lat
ter deserved to get away with his game
"a total of nine hits was registered
against Kelly by the Eastern aggrega-
ton, while Business could connect with
Johnson's delivery for only six safeties.
Coupled with that, Johnson struck ont
ten men,
Hunt and Wood led the Business team
in hitting, getting two hits each. and
Thornett and Dyer did the best work for
Eastern with the stick. Thornett drove
the ball safely three successive times and
Dyer landed on it twice for singles.
Catholic University received its second
successive defeat yesterday, when it went
down before the nine from Seton Hall.
The Brooklanders We're unable to hit the
delivery of the opposing twirler at any
stage of the contest and only three times
We're they able to get the ball into safe
territory Peploski. the Seton Hall
pitcher, had everything he needed, and
there was never a time when the Brook
landers threatened to win. The lads from
New Jersey simply played the better ball.
Zachary. Hayes and Donnelly are the
three men who managed to hit safely for
Catholic University.
Green: who did the pitching for Cath
Ollie University yesterday, was not i'm his
usual form. He did not have the same
speed and curves and failed to work as
easily as he Is used to doing. Green gen
