ONLY TWO OUTDOOR
WORKOUTS AT G. c.
Kendall Greeners Discouraged
Over Prospects for Get
ting Nine in Shape.

The past week was discouraging one
to the captain and coach of the Gailau-
Diet base ball team. The weather has
been SO bad that only two outdoor work
o,,s were INDUCED in. The squad dis
hands Tuesday for the Easter vacation
and as this vacation at Kendall Green
lasts till the middle of next week there
is reason for the authorities in charge
of the team to feel uneasy. The first
game on the schedule will be play ed the
18th of this month with St Johns of
Annapolis. It had been planned to give
the players as much practice as possible
before Easter came in order that they
night not have to work very hard after
their vacation of nearly eight days. But,
on the contrary, it Is feared that the
team will be in no condition TO open the
season two weeks hence. no matter how
hard the captain works his charges the
few days before the first game. The
rainy weather has not, however. inter-
fered with indoor practice. There has
not been a single afternoon in which the
squad has not been put through good
workout. Much attention has been given
the battery candidates.
The last several days have revealed at
least three corking huriers. They are
the giant Rasmussen, Marshall and
Moore. the quarterback on last falls
eleven. The backstop work will be di-
v!ded between Capt. Kendall and Hell
mark. The former played on the nine
hast year and his brilliant playing stamp
ed him as one of the best receivers that
the college ever had. Heimark halls
from ST. Olaf College, Mimi. He had a
pretty good record and should give the
captain close race. Foltz or Treuke
will in all probability hold down third
base. Foltz's batting was one Of the
features of the closing days of last sea-
son. BY virtue of this the husky little
fellow will be watched closely and given
a chance. to show what he can do in the
way of fielding. AS stated before, Treuke

LYNCH WILL PITCH
FOR C. j. NINE AGAIN
Mainstay in 1911 Was Out
for Practice Work Yes
terday.

With the appearance OF Lynch at
Georgetown yesterday the prospects for a
fine pitching staff on the base ball team
this spring seem exceedingly bright.
Lynch was the Blue and Gray mainstay
in the box during the spring Of 1911 and
won all the games that he participated
in. He defeated Yale that spring by the
decisive score of to .. Yesterday in his
first workout of the year he clearly DEM
onstrated to Coach Harley that he is one
of his most reliable pitchers. 1t is safe
to say that Lynch will be primed for the
first game with Princeton next Satur-
day. Another pitcher to come out for
the team yesterday was Mccain, from
the Danbury High School, Hartford.
Conn He is tall. rangy lad. and looks
the part of a real pitcher. He will be
given plenty of work from now on in the
hope of developing him into a reliable
man.
Yesterday was the first day since last
THURSDAY that the men were able to
work outside. Rain has prevented the
team from getting in some real hard
work in prepare ton for the opening
game Of tine year. Yesterday all of the
players first started their work in the
gymnasium, the plICUcIS HOt even UCiA6
allowed to go out on the diamond. Every
man on the squad participated in the
gymnasium workout. and then the
catchers, inflelders ard outfelders were
sent outside for batting practice. At the
upper end of the field, where ii is great
deal dryer than any other part, three
batting boxes were arranged. That
the men We're kept busy BATH; the ball.
The coach certainly has hard task on
his hands; to pick his outfield from
the big bunch of material he has now on
hand. Every one of the men shows a
great deal of promise, and, of course,
will be given good chance. AS yet the
batters have faced nothing but straight
balls, no curves having been used up to
date
Georgetown has three games during the
present week. 1t opens the season to-
morrow against the Mount ST. Joseph's
team OF Baltimore, and it is expected
that Coach Harley will use Kelley and
Neubas as the battery. Neubas behind
the bat looks very good, but Joe Lawlor.
Eddie MulIaney. Lynch and Dunn will
most likely be used in the opening game,
as they are all exceptionally good men.
Wednesday Lafayette plays here. ana
as there are two local boys with the
Lafalette team, II is to be expected that
the game will prove to be interesting to
local enthusiasts. Meyers, who played
first base for the Western High School,
is playing first base for Lafayette.

STARTS CLASS GAMES.
~ ----------~----
Series Of Interclass Contests to Be
PLAYED At GEORGETOWN.

Class base ball has been started at
Georgetown and the four classes will
each place ON the field formidable teams.
This is something new at the hilltop and
is looked upon with much favor.
1t is practically certain that all Of the
men now trying out for the varsity base
ball team will not make good, and for
this reason it has been decided upon by
the executive beard that class teams
would prove Of every advantage in the
fact that good players will be developed
for the varsity team.
The hilltop diamond will be used by
the teams for their games and they
will be played every Sunday morning.
This will not interfere with the varsity
men, who use the diamond during the
afternoon. Any varsity player will be
eligible for his class team and any
PLAYER from any of the downtown de-
partments of the university will be per-
mitted to represent his class.

tests successfully. Some OF the best

Especially will the local men have to

they had in previous seasons on the
schools from the colder climate. This
spring the work of the Washington men
must be better in comparison than it was

COLLEGE TEAMS
TO START TODAY
Georgetown, N. A. c. and C. u.
Have Difficult List
of Games.
ELEVEN CONTESTS
BOOKED THIS WEEK
NJ. A. c. and C. U. Play Four
Each, and Georgetown Is
Scheduled for Three.
BY II. c. BYRD.

The college base ball season will begin
here this week. Three of the local insti-
tutions are scheduled to start play, and
they will all begin by meeting some ex-
ceptionally strong mines. The big north
ern teams will begin to come here, and
at least three exceptionally strong aggre-
cations will be seen against Catholic
University and Georgetown.
The first game in which one of the
Washington schools will figure takes
place today in Charlottesville. The Catho-
lie University nine is down there to meet
the University of Virginia. The Brook
landers will return this evening, lay of
tomorrow. then begin their schedule anew
Wednesday. They will play the Pennsyl-
vania State College nine that day; the
following day they will meet the team
from Ursinus. and Saturday the Mary
land Agricultural College will be the OPP
posing aggregation. This is quite a list
of contests for a team to start it's first
week with, and the BroOklanders will be
rather lucky If they are able to get away
with it successfully. despite the apparent
strength of their players.
Georgetown Opens Tomorrow.
Georgetown will open it's season tonfor-
row. The Mount ST. Joseph's nine will
be the first on the schedule. Wednesday
the Lafayette team will oppose the Blue
and Gray. players, and Friday Prince
ton will appear. The hilltoppers are
pretty apt to win their game with the
st. Joseph's team. but they will have to
go at their top gait to get the long end
of the score from either Lafayette or
Princeton. Princeton is always repre-
sented by fast aggregation and the La
fayette nine is seldom a mean opponent.
Particular interest attaches to the game
with Lafayette because of the two for
mer local high school boys who are men,
bers of the squad. One Of them, Meyers,
is fairly certain to play regularly at first,
and the other. Holden, will be a member
of the pitching corps.
The Maryland Angles also have a siren
nous week in front of them. The Farmers
have had little practice and game has
been arranged with the Eastern High
School nine for tomorrow. Wednesday the
T armers will go to Annapolis to meet the
Naval Academy. The Midshipmen are
probably in better shape than the Farmers
owing to the large indoor space they have
in which to practice. Thursday the team
goes to Fredericksburg to play Fredericks-
burg College, and that night 1t will jump
to Richmond, in which city 1t is scheduled
to meet Richmond College Friday after
noon,. Saturday Catholic University will
be played at BrOolSland.

THE WEBB LAW

Much publicity has been given to
Attorney General McReynold's opin'
ion that he could not prosecute vio-
lators of the Webb law in the federal
courts, the conclusion being that the
law was imperative, and cannot be
enforced
1t was never intended that the ma
tional government should prosecute.
1t is a states rights measure, and
delegates to the state the right to en-
force its liquor laws, and the Webb
law gives the state jurisdiction in
such matters, regardless of interstate
commerce measures. The Webb law
will accomplish all it was intended to
accomplish, whenever state legislation
shall make the same fully effective.

Whatever may be their general rep.
utation, the insurance companies in
the case of E. o. Painter have been
as meek and innocent as lambs.
Charged with being ghouls in stealing
the body, it turns out that they did
not steal it. After stealing it, it was
charged that they tore it to pieces
like vultures. 1t turns out that if torn
to pieces at ALL it was done at the in
stigation of the Painter Company and
with the full knowledge and approval
of the family of the deceased The
only crime so far pointed out thta the
insurance companies committed was
in over-insuring the deceased, and
this, it is claimed. was done innocent
ly and to the damage of the COM
panies. According to our ethics of
journalism, one should be fair, even
to a corporation.

We entirely agree with the Ocala
Banner that "a detective should not
be allowed to testify as a witness in
a case in which he has been employed
to work up the evidence. AS the Ban
ner aptly says at is his business to
secure the evidence, not to swear that
the evidence is true" 1t is invariably
the case that when a detective obtains
a clue or forms a theory pointing to
the guilt of certain person or per-
sons, he Immediately becomes a pros
ecutOr, and every little fact or cir
cumstance that would otherwise pos
sess no significance, is forged into a
link in the chain of evidence with
which he endeavors to bind his intend
ed victim. The only proper work of
the detective is to find the evidence
and the witnesses to establish it. Fur
Their than this, the courts should not
