fair to get flying start The majority
or the teams will start practice next
week on the White Lot, and by the time
the opening game rolls around, the man.
| ayers will have selected the combina-
lions. The games. as in the past. are
booked to start at 5:15 o'clock.
Manager Litchfield, of the Southland
ball club, would like to have members
OF that team report to him not later
| than 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at
the Arsenal, as a game has been ar
ranged with United States Engineers.
The Southland club will enter fast
league, just which one is not known at
the present time. Manager Litchfield is
waiting for Manager Cornell, of the
Tigers. to make a move. 1t is under
stood that a conference was held yes
terday in regard to the formation Of
the Capital City League. and that an
invitation was extended to the Bankers
to put a team in the circuit. Should
the American Security and Trust team
enter the Capital City League, and Cor
nell and the Southland tribe take franz
chises, the nucleus of a fast league
would be on hand.
Nativity, of the Sunday School League
has also been spoken of as q candidate
for the berth in the Capital City League.
Should the Southeast boys get together
and organize again. the Tigers and
Bankers would find a stif proposition
against them in the Nativity team.
In the game with the Georgetown
Props yesterday. Rockwell. the Gallau-
Diet short fielder put up one of the best
games Of his career. While he only had
three chances, two of them were of the
hair-raising kind, and made him look
like big Lacquer, Rockwell also connect
ed safely three times. The work of this
young man has been the sensation OF
the practice games, and should he hit
and field against the college mines as
he does against the high schools Gallau-
Diet has a fighting chance to come out
at the big end OF the scores.
Lefty Cleveland, the well known local
indicator handler. is again in the field. |
He has been mentioned as the arbiter of
the newly formed Central League and |
also as the official of the Federal cir |
cult
. Although the statement has been made |
several times this season, that the 1
Georgetown team had at last struck its
stride and would clean things UP, these
ball at Georgetown. Considering these
facts, II is the consensus of opinion
among those who are in close touch with |
the team that 1t has at last rounded
into form. That the Blue and Gray has
the material for one of the best teams
the local college has ever had is con-
,eded by all, and ii has been impossible
C figure out just what has been the
rouble. In the practice yesterday after
noon, the Blue and Gray team looked
ike a different aggregation than 1t cid
week ago. Connolly has been taken
rom second base. Hennessy taking his
place at the midway sack; while Cam
,azzi will in all probability finish the
season in Mulchey's position at the in
tial corner. With these two substitu-
ions, taken together with Hollander on
short and Davis at third, the Hilltop
,ers have undoubtedly made their final
and 1t is the opinion of those
n charge that Georgetown will have
more than its share of victories from
low on.
