respects. He hit one batsman. issued
two free passes and made one wild

Middies to collect six runs in the inning.
On the whole Lehigh played listless

bases Good work came only in flashes.
Lees, the visiting backstop. had good
day with the stick. He made a long
drive for three sacks and also tore OFF
two singles out of four trips to the plate
but his drives were not at opportune
times. Rodgers led in the batting for the
Middies with four clean singles out OF
five chances. The hitting of Hicks was
a big factor in the run getting. Twom-

The base ball teams now representing
the local colleges are stronger than those
turned out by them a year ago. Catholic
University, Georgetown and the Mary

mines than those of 1913, while it is being
reported that Gallaudet will also show
Improvement. More capable play has
been noted among these clubs than was
evident last season.
Previous to yesterday, Georgetown has
had little success, and YET there IS not
