The Georgetown base ball team left
, last night on its northern trip. Two
games will be played, the first with Yale
today and the second with Trinity Col
, lege
!. Georgetown will have hard job getting
away with either of the two contests
Yale proved itself much stronger ag-
gregatfon than the Blue and Gray when
it was here this spring, and Trinity is
generally represented to be very capable
The Hilltoppers have been playing an
improved article of ball recently, though
and should make creditable showing.
even though they do not win.
1t is very probable that Mccarthy will
be used in the box in todays game
against Yale. The former Prep lad has
been doing some very clever work when
used in that position. and he will most
likely show we'll against the Dark Blue.
Kelly is the man who is mentioned to do
the pitching against Trinity. 1t is not
probable that Fienle will be sent into
either of the two contests, because of
the hard game in which he worked We'd

| Catholic University and the Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College of North
Carolina engaged in one of the most Pc
culiar games that has ever been played
in this city, especially between college
teams. The Brooklanders got away with
the contest after scoring more runs. than
in any other contest this season. They
tailed nine times in the last two innings.
summary of the game shows the two
teams to have made twenty-nine hits,
twenty-eight runs and twelve errors. No
+, game that has taken place here this year
can evidence such record as that. In
! the first place there have not been that
! many runs scored and certainly that
many hits have not been registered. In
! one game there were. that many errors
committed but, on the whole, the con-
test was remarkable one for the many
varieties of base ball shown.
Farmer and Pipp of Carolina and Cath
Ollie University. respectively. led their
teams in hitting Each man got four safe
wallops out of five trips to the plate. 1t
is rather remarkable, too. that only one
of the eight hits secured by these two
men went for more than one base The
extra hit was secured by Farmer when
he hit long drive that netted him two
bases.
Catholic University had three pitchers
in the game. and so did the visitors. AND
they weresall hit hard. Not one of the
men sent into the box was unable to stem
the tide and all were hit hard. Ryar
Of Catholic University was able to d.
better than any of the other men used
Besides the two men who connected
with the ball for four hits, there wer.
three others who got three safeties. Bali
and Zachary of Catholic University an;
Patton of A. and NJ were the men VIII
drove the ball into safe territory thre
times. Balm and Zachary were at tn
bat three times and Patton was up five
Technical High won from the Alexan
dria High School yesterday by scor

The best scholastic bill that has beef
furnished in base ball in this city in
long while will be seen tomorrow a
be played. The first will take place be
tween Technical and Western and tn
other will find Eastern and Central bat
Ting for honors
There will be great deal of interes
conferred in both games, but the create
amount will be in that between Western
and Technical. The greatest kind o
rivalry between these two schools ha
sprung up during the last two seasons
and the game will be one in which Tel
will endeavor to continue it's victorie
and in which Western will put forth it
greatest effort to break the hoodoo tina
has seemed to exist in its games will

Western apparently has th4 stronge
team this year. and what has beer
shown in the practice games should win
But II must be remembered that West

The chances are that Western viii! ge

The Cenrral-Eastern game will also b,

be the case had it not won from thu

The Maryland Aggies go to Annapolis
this afternoon to meet the st. Johns
College nine. The Farmers are figuring
that they are in for one Of the hardest
1 games they have played this year. II
was not figured that st. Johns was sc
livery strong until after the easy manner
lin which il won from the Navy last Sat
urday. The Collegians handed the Sail
OrS a . 10 DeatlnS. the most decisive
defeat the latter have received. 1t Is
mighty seldom that Naval Academy
base ball team meets with loss of tina,
kind. and it is a decided testimonial tc
the strength of the st. Johns aggrega-
ton.
One factor that may stand in the way
OF the Aggies winning is that they viii
be against left-handed pitcher. and
they have been especially weak against
that kind of a delivery. For some rea-
son or other the College Park lads have
been unable to connect with any pitcher
they have faced If he worked from his
left side. no matter how little stuff he
may have had. 1t may be, though. tina,
today will be an exception. as in batting
practice yesterday better form was
shown against a left-hander than ha:
been evidenced at any time this season.
Loomis or Hoffecker will do the pitch
: ing for the NJ. A. c.. with Wilson doing
the duty for st. Johns.
Catholic University is scheduled to play
the Trinity College nine tomorrow after
noon at Brookland. 1t is said that tine
Trinity team is one of the strongest in
