The University of Virginia base ball
team is here for two days, during which
time it will play two games with George
town. Virginia comes with a victory al
ready scored over the Blue and Gray, and
to win the series the local institution must
take the long end of the score in each OF
the two contests.
In the previous meeting Virginia showed
undoubted superiority. The Orange and
Blue men outplayed Georgetown. hitting
the pitchers hard and preventing the
hilltoppers from getting anywhere near
enough tallies to finish in front. That
was one of Georgetown's bad days.
though. and it did not get away nearly
as well as it might under other conditions.
While, on the previous comparison, it
would appear that Georgetown's chances
Of taking both games appear very slim,
there is, nevertheless possibility that the
Blue and Gray will do just that 1t all
depends on whether or not Chris Fienle
can win his contest today. Fienle is the
most likely choice today, and IL he can get
away with it there is not the least doubt
of McCarthy's being able to go well to-
morrow. The work of Mccarthy in the
Yale game was evidence enough that he
is very capable. Any man who can hold
Yale to four hits is certainly worthy Of
a chance in one of the most important
meetings of the year.
There is a possibility that switch will
be made and Mccarthy worked today
and Fienle tomorrow. as that would give
the latter an extra days rest, he having
worked Saturday and Mccarthy Friday.
Grant, the left-hander, who beat George
town last year on the hilltop after Rixey
had failed on the previous day, will be
the man who will be sent to the mound
for the Orange and Blue.
Intense interest always attaches to any
game that takes place between these two
institutions. and it is likely that this time
will be no exception. One of the largest
crowds Of the year will in all probability
watch the game today.
Two amateur leagues will start play
today. The Central and Federal circuits
will open their schedules. In the first
mentioned organization the Government
Printing Office will meet the Sherwood
nine. and in the latter Petworth will OPP
pose the Pension Office.
The grounds OF the Central League will
be at the old Independence League
grounds. at LIST and NJ streets northeast.
and the Federal League will play on the
old Suburban League field at Grant Cir
Gle and Upshur street.
The following Georgetown track men
were awarded letters yesterday at meet
ing of the athletic council; Eller Brewer,
bens, Weidmann, Robertson, Terwilliger
and Low.
These men have carried Georgetown
through the most successful indoor track
season 1t has ever had, and they will be-
gin their outdoor competition this week.
The Blue and Gray men will go to Balti-
more Saturday to compete In the South
Atlantic intercollegiate championships.
Whether or not they will stand a very
good chance to win is a question, but It Is
certain that they will secure more than
one first place. With an exceptionally
large team. Johns Hopkins will have
the best opportunity to score the most
points because of the seconds and thirds
1T Will have a chance to get. These Sec
onds and thirds, with the first places it
will probably annex. will give it an ad-
vantage over the others as regards the
team scores. Hopkins has a man who
the shotput one of it's competitors will
come near winning.
The Maryland Aggies will meet the
West Virginia University team this aft
ernoon. The game is down on the
to the fact that the West Virginians want
ed to take their trip through this section
little earlier. the game was moved up.
Just what kind of a team the visitors
no games in this section, but they are
generally represented by very capable
aggregation. The last time the two
schools met. two years ago. the score
resulted 10 in favor of the Farmers.
Hoffecker or White will probably work
in the box for the Farmers, with the
chances favoring the latter.
The majority of the entries for the
Maryland Agricultural College scholastic
meet have been received, and it seems
certain that the largest representation
that has ever taken part in one of the
games will be present. Each OF the local
high schools will be represented and two
Of the prep schools. Also a large repre-
sentation will be on hand from Balti-
more and the county high schools OF
Maryland.
Western Maryland and st. Johns have
entered the largest teams that have ever
represented them in the collegiate events.
Heretofore these schools have had about
six or seven men in competition. but
this spring there will be about twenty
eight or thirty men wearing their coiors.
On the reported performances it seems
that Western Maryland has an excellent
chance to win the point trophy in the in
tercollegiate meet. 1t has several men In
the field events, according to a state
ment Of one who is in q position to know,
who are going to take every first place.
That being the case. 1t will be necessary
