Georgetown here today. The southerners
are reported as having one of the most
capable teams in the section.

erratically. land may or may not make

None of the Blue and Gray performers
has been any too consistent this season,
and even Fienle has failed to go the
route on at least two occasions.
Just who will work against A. & NJ is
a question. 1t is probable that Mccarthy
will be sent in. The outfelder has shown
creditably in the box on more than one
occasion this spring, and the chances are
that he will be used.
A. NJ. will not be an easy nine to beat,
by any means. Yesterday 1t won from
Washington and Lee by A to . and it will

Georgetown got away with its game
yesterday against the Lebanon Valley
nine rather easily. Even the Blue and
Gray did not figure that 1t would win
without extending itself somewhat The
visiting nine did not prove to be nearly
as strong as was expected, and 1t only
showed real ability in one department.,
fielding and that at infrequent intervals.
There were two very pleasing features

the form Of the pitchers. Both OF the
twirlers used-Kelly and F1enle-alloWed

with it three times.

players about as capable as are gener-
ally seen on a college team. and the con-
test was one Of the cleanest played or all

field this year.
Ryan probably had more stun and
really worked better than in any of his
previous appearances on the rubber lie

curve ball was breaking well. Only one
free pass to first was given. Ryan seemed
to be more sure of himself, and appeared
to take the game as though he had him:

Four Catholic University men con-
nected with the ball yesterday for two
hits each Zachary. Donnelly. Mcdonnell
and Lynch hit the ball into safe territory
on those occasions.
1t is said that Percy Haughton has
signed another three-year contract to
