The Harvard base ball team is here
for a series of games with the Catholic
University and Georgetown mines. The
first of the contests is scheduled for to-
day at American League Park with
Catholic University, while two others are
to take place Thursday and Friday with
Georgetown. Harvard is said to have
an unusually strong club. and with it
are two of its foot ball stars-Hardwick
and Mahan, both outfielders.
There is no doubt that the Crimson
will have to go at its top speed if it is
to win two of the three games 1t is
more than likely that Georgetown will
be able to split even with the Northern
ers. and the visitors would have to win
from Catholic University this afternoon
in order to make the break in their
favor. That it is not going to be an
easy matter for Harvard to take the
long ends of the scores in two of the
contests is certain Catholic University
and are strong especially in their pitch
ing departments-the most important
ball club, especially one representing
college.
Trayers or Croker will do the work on
the mound for Catholic University.
while it is reported that Hitchcock will
be depended upon by the visitors to hold
the Brookland team in check. All these
men are capable hurers. and it is very
probable that well pitched game will be

Poughkeepsie will be the main point of

will depend on the showing made there.
If Pennsylvania were to win, it would
indeed be a great triumph for the new

be rather surprising.

There seems to be little doubt now
that the result of the race among the
Maryland colleges for the state cham
pionship will be decided in that con-
