Tommy Thompson, the Washington
boy who has been showing good form
as a member of the Georgetown pitch
ing staff, probably will be the choice
to work against the Nationals in their
first home exhibition game tomorrow
at American League Park. No official
statement has been given out at
Georgetown as to the intention to pitch
Thompson, but it was learned from a
relia BILE source this morning that he
would be the selection.
Thompson has been pitching in the
local amateur leagues for some time.
His work has attracted considerable
attention, and he has had several offers
to join minor league clubs, but they
never appealed to him. 1t will be in
teresting to Thompson's many friends
to see how well he performs against
the professional club.
There probably will be no change III
the Georgetown team result of the
strenuous tryouts received in the
games with the teams in Georgia. In
fact, while there is the possibility of
one shift being made in the outfleld.

the work of the men. Here is what
q
letics, had to say on the teams return
yesterday:
Coach O'Reilly and are very well
satisfied with the play of the team in
the four games in Georgia. We were
against much better conditioned clubs,
and especially was this evident in the
team play; we outhit the other clubs,
and. except for some errors in fielding,
gave evidence of just as much poten-
t1al strength. With the exception of
GJIs.
lack of practice because of the late
ness of the basket ball season, there
was no fault to be found with the
pitchers, and generally we feel very
well satisfied with the team as it
stands"
