meet Cornell this afternoon 1t will be
the first Of a ttlree-ga.re series in which
Cornell will appear here within the next
four days. Georgetown will be played
twice and Catholic University once.
The Blue. and Gray supporters are ex-
pecting their team to show better form
than in any contest since Princeton was
beaten two weeks ago The players
seem to have been getting more of a
hold on themselves and have generally
done better work. Better fielding and
harder hitting has been in evidence in
the last few days than since the season
began.
IT is certain that Fienle will do the
pitching for the Blue and Gray nine. He
is the steadiest and most capable man
on the staff at present, and he should
be able to get by with his game with
the right kind of support
Cornell has not shown any great
amount Of ability In its two games with
Virginia The Ithaca nine has dropped
two games in succession to the Char
lottesville aggregation, being beaten yes
terday when Virginia had to resort to
the use of an infelder to do its pitching.
That Cornell only made four hits off the
delivery of Neff, the regular shortstop,
seems to indicate that the hitting strength
of the ability of Fienle should be able
to do exceptionally good work against
them.
Catholic University is not scheduled to
play this afternoon The Brooklanders
have no contest booked until next Tues
day. when Cornell is to be played.
today to meet the Rock Hill College
nine. The Farmers figure they will stand
better than an even chance to win. Rock
Hill has been playing some fair ball this
eral ability that has the Maryland Agri-
cultural College bunch. The Aggies Will
start Loomis in the box. and if he goes
as well as on the occasions Of his other
starts there is every reason to think that
he will get away with his game.
Catholic University had the easiest
kind of a time getting away with the
Amherst nine yesterday. The Brookland-
ers showed much the superior form in
every department of the game Their
hitting was way above the average of
that of college team and the fielding
and pitching was up to the same stand
ard.
The Brookland team landed on the de-
l.veries Of the two men who did the
twiring for Amherst without the least
trouble. and registered total of fifteen
hits. Donnelly, Horan and Pipp led in
the fusillade. The first got a single. a
double and triple. Horan had home
run and two singles to his credit, and
Pipp clouted out a homer and triple.
the last two or three games the Cath
Ollie University has played has been the
ability shown by Carter to pitch. Carter
Is left-hander, who has shown quite a
little ability in the two or three games
he has finished. That is quite gratifying
to the Brooklanders, because they lose
the mainstays of their twirling corps
this season. Carter is a sophomore. and
with the development he will get this
year should be able to do some very
creditable work when next spring comes
around.
Gallaudet played another practice game
yesterday and won by a margin Of five
runs from the Georgetown Props. The
Blue and Gray youngsters were unable to
do anything much with the college team,
losing by a score of to 2. Rasmussen
did the pitching for Galladuet and he got
ing the Props only four hits and striking
out fifteen. Rockwell again led the Gal
laudet team in f1efding and hitting.
Neff, the University. Of Virginia short
stop, showed yesterday that he is pos
sessed of lot of ability as an all-round
performer on the diamond While an in
fielder. as a regular thing, he went In
yesterday and pitched against Cornell
He got away with his game much better
than one would have expected. his work
really being superior to that of the regu-
lar hurlers. The Ithaca nine could only
connect with his curves for four safe hits
and he sent eight of them back to the
bench by the strike-out route
st. Johns and the Virginia Military In
stitute engaged in an eleven-inning game
yesterday that partook of all kinds of
base ball. Both teams fielded poorly and
both hit the ball hard. The work of the
pitchers was hardly up to the standard
and total of twenty-four hits were
made. st. Johns getting thirteen and the
Virginia Military Institute eleven.
Wilson, Mellon and Noble led in the hit
ting for st. Johns, the three men getting
eight hits between them. OF the eight
safeties. Wilson connected with the bali
for four safe wallops.
Shorty Hughes has been selected to
do the umpiring in the Departmental
League. There is not the least doubt but
that Hughes will give very capable sery-
