the coliegians. who will have had an ad-
vantage of three weeks training before
the former arrive at the camp. Two
more games will be played in the follow
ing week before the regular college sea-
son starts, and the final one of the series
will come just before the Washington
team leaves for its exhibition games The
leaguers should be in pretty fair condi-
ton by this later date. and an idea of
how well the team is going and the prob
able lineup can be obtained.
Three games have been arranged with
Georgetown and a similar series with
Carolina, arording an opportunity to de-
the SOOtNern intercOIlegtate
championship. while one or more games

In nineteen leagues the leaders in fifteen
last season played the gardens. two were
first basemen, one played second and one
was a catcher
Although minor leaguers eXcelled the
big guns in doing most everything. this is
one branch of the sport in which the ma
jors were not left behind. That was be-
cause Owen Wilson, the Pirate outfielder,
had a great year in the smuggling line.
Wilson last season ran a dead heat with

the Maps from the Denver Western

bases for extra-sack swats.
This great total of the Pirate slugger
was compiled by landing on the pill for
many triples. He banged out thirty-six
hits that were good for three sacks. there
by establishing a record for the majors,
if not for all leagues.
But Wilson did not have much success

cracked out nineteen doubles, while his

DETROIT, February 2S-The tallest
pitcher in the major leagues. Weilman OF
the ST Louis Browns, is expected to be a
sensation this year. This little fellow is
only Il feet 81. inches tall, instead of be-
ing the seven feet he looks He is only
fairly heavy for his height, weighing 195
pounds.
This formidable looking southpaw got
his first taste Of fast company in Detroit
last year. The last st. Louis series at
Detroit was one Of the best of the year.
Hamilton opened 1t with no-hit game.
Then came Allison with a three-hit affair,
and next day Hamilton was sent back.
He grew wild and was rescued by ALI
son, but four hits were all the Tigers got.
But when the Bengals slammed Allison
and Baumgardner for a lopsided victory
in the fourth affair. Stovall came through
with Weilman for his last shot.
Weilman Makes Good.
Weilman was beaten, but he made a
fine showing On the mound he looked
like a skyscraper. He had lots Of stuff.
But for a passed ball by Alexander and
an error by Stovall, he would have shut
out Detroit. AS it was he lost, to !.
Weilman's rise to fame has been sud

G. j. BASE BALL MEN
REPORT FOR PRACTICE
Blue and Gray Should Have
Good Team, According
to Prospects.

Base ball at Georgetown for the en-
suing year started yesterday, when
Capt. Fury called all Of his candidates
together About twenty men responded
for the first call, and some of the men
look to be very promising. On account
of the dampness of the field the men
only INDUCED in batting practice and
in passing the ball around. No at
tempt was made to do any fielding. be-
cause of the wretched condition of the
field after Thursdays rain.
None of the pitchers as allowed to
do any loosening up because it is too
early. That there are several very
clever men out for the pitchers posi-
ton seems certain. Yesterday Herman
and Kelley handled themselves in a
very impressive manner. Kelley is the
foot ball player. and comes here with
big reputation. 1t is hoped that he
will come through with all the good
things that are being said about him.
Joe Newton. the youngster who caught
for the Mount st. Joseph's team of Phila-
delphia, last spring. impressed the on
lockers by his actions. He handles HIM
self like real ball player, and Capt.
Fury stated that he was particularly
pleased with this young mans actions in
the practice yesterday.
That the outfeld positions will be we'll
taken care of seems certain because
there are about a dozen capable men out
for these three positions OF course. If
Capt. Fury decides to play in the outtield
only two of the places will be left open.
The men to report for the Outfield yes
terday were Loichot. Donnelly, Frank
Mulcahy, Heiskell. Mclean, Barron,
Foley. Marum, Walsh and Driscoll.
Young Mulcahy, brother of last year s
first sacker. shapes up well. Every time
he hit the ball in the practice yesterday
he impressed everybody as being a good
hitter. AT the Worcester South High
School last year he led the team in bat
ting
Jim Dunn and Taylor were also out.
Both of these men are catchers of ability.
Dunn caught for Holy Cross during the
spring of 1910 and put up superb game
1t is predicted by his friends that if he
can reduce his weight he will catch the
opening game Of the year for Georgetown.
Taylor halls from Williston Seminary,
E.asthampton. Mass, and looks the part
Of a good catcher.
Other men out for the team We're Billy
Martin. the clever shortstop of the Props
last year: ShuErue. OBoyle, Hollander
and Curry. Curry played second base on
the St. Johns team of Dover, Mass, and
is regarded as a good player.

DONLIN GOING TO MINORS.
Former Great Player Will Be Mate
of Rube Waddell at Minneapolis.

NEW YORK. March mike Donlin is
going to the minors. What a storm OF
tattle such an announcement would have
caused a few years ago. Yet such is the
fact from Donlin's own pen despite the
press agent yarns sent broadcast from
Philadelphia a few weeks ago, while Mike
was playing q vaudeville engagement
there to the effect that the once great
player had made up his mind to quit
the game.
Donlin is booked for Minneapolis in the
American Association. where he will find
Rube Waddell and other eX-shining lights
awaiting his coming. And the wonderful
Mike has lost nothing but a trifie of his
old speed OF foot. which every big league
manager must develop if he would win
games.

The George Washington University
basket ball team played its best game
OF the year last night when IL went
against the Catholic University quint.
The Hatchetites did their most capable
playing of the season. and surprised
even their best supporters with the
manner in which they worked. The
start to finish and had it been able to
shoot goals with a little more accuracy
it would have made even a better
record.
The work of Noonan and Koran was
the best of the evening. Noonan played
the best basket ball OF all the men on his
| team. and probably made a better show
ing in comparison than has any other
member of the George Washington
Quint this season. The play Of Koran
was the one factor which seemed to he
up to the standard in the c. L. Quint.
His work kept his five in the lead. and
really caused it to win from the
Hatchetites as easily as it did.
