CORNELL PLAYS
ITS LAST GAME
will Meet Catholic University
Team This Afternoon at
Brook!and.
GREENE WILL DO THE
PITCHING FOR LOCALS
Hennessy Plays Brilliant Game
for Georgetown Against the
IthacanS-Other Games.
BY n. c. BYRD.

Cornell will play the last of its series Of
games here today. The Ithacans are
scheduled to meet Catholic University
nine at Brool1land.
Catholic University will send Greene
in to do the twirling for it. and upon his
work will depend whether or not the
string of victories the Brool1landers have
to their credit will be interrupted. If
Greene is in form there is not much
probability that he will lose his game.
The work of the star hIrler so far thi:
season has been such that few college
mines could have beaten him. and Cor
nell will have its hands full to accom-
plish what no educate institution has
been able to do
Cornelrs trip south has not been very
siccessful-in fact, it has probably been
the most unsuccessful ever taken by It,
Two games were dropped to the Cniver-
sity of Virginia, and two more were lost
to Georgetown. The last chance of the

possible for it to do SO.
Catholic University has two other games
on this week that it will not be easy to
show wei in by any means. Tomorrow it
will go to Baltimore to meet the Interna-
tional League club of that place. and
Saturday it will play Eastern College.
The Brooklanders have a'chance to show
we'll against the Baltimore nine, but it
will not be likely to win. The Eastern
College nine comes here for a game Sat
urday, and that school generally is rep
resented by very capable team.
Hennessy, the new second baseman at
Georgetown. played a game yesterday
that practically won for his team over

ticle of college ball as has been seen here
in long while His play in every de-
partment of the game was exceptionally
clever. A glance at the box score gives
d fair idea as to what was done by the
new man. Out of six times at bat he con-
nected with the ball for two safe hits.
and besides had nine assists and four
If Hennessy keeps up that kind of work
he will be able to accomplish a great
deal before the end of the year, and he
has already proved himself an invaluable
acquisition to the Blue and Gray forces.
If he comes through in foot ball and
basket ball. as there is every reason to
believe that he will in the same way, he
will be one of the most prominent ath-
letes in the section.
Eastern High School won practice
game yesterday from the Pension Office.
The high school youngsters got away
with their game in good style. outplaying
their older opponents rather easily.
Eastern has developed two or three
fairly capable pitchers in Greer. Leonard
and johnson. All these men have done
some creditable work and should show
we'll in the high school series. Their
pitching in some of the games has been
much above the average Of former East
ern twirlers. and it may be that they will
show exceptional form once they get
started in the series. 1t is more than
probable that Greer will do the majority
OF the pitching. 1t is said that he is the
most dependable and also knows most
about pitching.
The game the Maryland Aggies had
scheduled tomorrow with the Baltimore
College of Physicians and Surgeons has
been Cancelled by the latter team. 1t was
stated In a letter from the Baltimore
that only class team could
be sent down and the Farmers figured
that they could get more out of prac-
tice than In such a contest.
There would be chance for Greene
Of Catholic University to go through a
season without defeat If 1t were not for
the trip the team is to take through the
north near the end of the year. The
must meet several of the
strongest college mines in the country on
i've successive days and 1t will be diff
icult matter to manipulate the pitchers
SD InaI tNey can De eHeCtlNe IN all the
contests. Greene will probably be some
what overworked in those games with
the result that he will not show to best
advantage at all times.
Incidentally. it is probable that the
Catholic University team will find itself
harder pressed to win games on that trip
than during the entire other part of the
season. With only two pitchers on whom
It can really depend, it will not have an
easy time of it getting through those five
contests in the north against the big
college mines. If ii comes ont of those
games with three wins. it can consider
that it has accomplished much.
Kelly, who has not been in the box
for Georgetown for over a week, went in
against Cornell, and worked
well. His ability was more apparent than
in any other contest in which he has
taken part. and had it not been for the
fact that he was taken out to allow an
other man to bat for him, it is likely that
he would have finished the game. allow
