Team.
CATHOLIC u. TO MEET
WEST VIRGINIA NINE
BrookIanders Should Prove
Victorious Over Visitors.
Virginia and M. A. C. Win.
BY II. C. BYRD.

The University of Virginia will APP
pear at Georgetown today for the third
game i'm the series with that school.
and the University of West Virginia
will play Catholic University at Brook
land. Virginia will work mighty hard
to make it three straight from George
town. and the West Virginia nine has
made special preparations to make the
best showing possible against Catholic
University.
After the victory of yesterday it does
not matter. as far as the series is con-
cerned. whether or not Virginia beats
Georgetown today. The Orange and
Blue has won the series by taking the
first contest down in Charlottesville
and winning yesterday on the hilltop
1t will not suffer a defeat at the hands
Of the Blue and Gray nine if it can help
IT though. that is certain. 1t is prob
able that Grant, the big left-hander.
will be used against the local school
today. Mccarthy is booked to work for
Georgetown.
Coach Hickman has saved his best
pitcher to use for the West Virginia team
against Catholic University. He realizes
that he will have a hard time getting
away with the Brooklanders and he has
man who. he says. will come near
doing the trick. Hickman said yester-
day that he is one of the best college
pitchers he has seen in a long while
and that If he fails to show lot of
stuff today he will be greatly surprised.
1t is not known whom Catholic University
will have in the box.
Neff played a brilliant game of ball
yesterday in the Virgi1ia-Georgetown
contest. Besides pitching his team to a
victory and winning In rather fash
ion. he got three safe cracks out of four
trips to the plate.
Neff has done consistently fine work
| since the beginning of the season and
he has shown versatility that few col
lege performers have. He started to play
the inf1eld.
At that time Virginia was making a
| lot of runs. but was failing to hold the
Cornell went to Charlottesville, and. as
there was no man on whom the Vir-
| ginians could depend in the second con-
test. Neff was pressed into service. He
Since that time he has been used as a
hurler instead of as regular performer
| in the infield, and he has been an abso-
lutte success.
The first three men in the Virginia
! lineup yesterday got three hits each.
1 Finlay, Phillips and Nen are the three
who connected with the ball that many
times with drives which netted them

/ Mccarthy, who will do the pitching for
| Georgetown today. is something on the
| order of Neff. He has been used regu-
| larly in the outfield, but he has really

F! that In every game in which he has been
| started he has managed to hold the op-
posing nine very well. having prevented
Yale from securing more than four hits
| off him, something that few other col

| Carthy manages to get away with his
/ game today he will have to be rated as
being about the best pitcher on the hill

| Mccarthy is somewhat of hitter. too.
| He has been driving the ball into safe
| territory with consistency since he was
/ first used. Yesterday he got three hits
| out of four trips to the plate. something
| none of his teammates was able to do.
! The University of West Virginia has a
better ball club than one would think. to
| judge solely by the score by which the
Marynad Aggies defeated 1t yesterday.
Charles Hickman has a well-drilled bunch
of players. who can play good defensive
game. There are no good hitters on the
| team, though. and few of the players
show much form at the bat
! The real lack of the team seems to be
| in its pitching staff. There is one man.
a left-hander who Is. according to Coach
| Hickman a very Clever performer. but
! tie others are below tie standard. The
/ two men who were used against the
| Maryland .Aggies YESTERDAY were hit very
! hard. For the first two or three innings
! Brown got away with il very well, but
4 after that he was easy.

under way yesterday-the Federal and
Central. The Sherwoods beat the Gov
