morrow with a contest against Prince
ton. and plays four games after that,
while Catholic University meets Penn
state tomorrow and two other strong
mines later in the week.
The Princeton game is sure to give
GEORGETOWN it's hands full. The Tigers
certainly have a very capable nine, else
they would not have defeated Virginia
so decisively. If the Hilltoppers get
the long end OF the score from the
Tigers they viii have to play mighty
good ball. Tuesday and Wednesday
the Blue and Gray is to go against the
team from Holy Cross. Holy Cross has
not been showing exceptionally good
form, but it is liloely to prove a dan
serous factor in either OF the two
battles.
Fordham and williams will be the
attractions Friday and Saturday. The
former has been great rival Of the
Blue and Gray for long time, and the
game is fairly certain to be wen con-
tested Williams has never played
much in this section. but generally has
capable combination. Three years

every base ball critic in the east.

ffcient evidence that it is not to be
looked upon as an easy proposition by
any means. As a matter Of fact, it Is
probable the Pennsylvanians are rep
resented by very strong aggregation.
Johns Hopkins will oppose c. u We'd
nesday, while the University of West
Virginia will be here Saturday. Johns
Hopkins is said not to have very good
pitchers. in which case c. U. should not
have much trouble. The Baitimoreans
MIA we'd a good
though. and may prove stronger than
is looked for. West Virginia generally
has a pretty good pitcher or two. but
seldom a very good nine as whole.
These games coming close to ONE an
other will cause the local teams to put
forth their greatest efforts in order TO
win. Any one of them, with the ex-
ception of the two tomorrow. might
not cause much concern, but with all
OF them scheduled in a bunch, as II
were. it becomes question Of a
manipulation of the pitchers to the
best advantage. If Georgetown can
play. and c. U. win two of its three,
little more could be asked.
The Maryland Aggies were scheduled
to play William and Mary tomorrow.
but the game was cancelled by that
school last week. This leaves the
Farmers without a game until they
meet Johns Hopkins next Saturday. in
the opening game for the state cham
pionship.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that Connolly. the Georgetown third
baseman. is one of the best college
players in this section. His work in
against Mount ST. Joseph's, tablished
him as being above the ordinary, and
he has since maintained that standard

While Business does not have a team
OF star players. it is apt to give the
ether school mines a stiff fight in the
big series this spring. The Stenox-
raphers appear to have something OF
an evenly balanced aggregation. and
with fair pitching will put up a biz
argument against any Of tho other
Teams. There are one or two young
sters in the lineup who are likely 10
hit the ball at any time, and the
work of tho squad in general seems 10
