Catholic University has two pitcher.
who are likely to do some splendid
work this season. They are FaheY and
johnson. both OF whom worked in th"
game yesterday against the Maryland
Aggies. Neither is a novice. as was
shown by the manner In which they
won for the BrookIanders from tire
Farmers.
johnson worked the first seven in
nings against the Marylanders and
pitched airtight ball. with the eNcep-
tion OF one period. He got the ball
over the plate all the time. and NJ. A. G.
like most college mines. was not able
to do enough hitting to get a lot OF
runs. Fahey pitched tho last two. did
not appear to exert himself and seemed
| to know exactly what he was doins
all the time. Fahey is a former Holy
Cross star and johnson used to pitch
for a college out In Nevada

II college pitchers had judgment
enough to work solely to make oppos-

to strike out all the batters that face
them they would be twice as success
full. Control ought to be the sole aim

college teams which can hit enough
to score sufficient runs to win. In yes
