Gallaudet is scheduled to play the
first game of it's base ball season to-
morrow, when it is to line up against
the Catholic University team at Brook
land. The Kendall Greeners feel much
encouraged over the prospects for
very capable combination, and figure
they will give the Maroon and Black
| organization all it is looking for in
the way of a hard contest.
The Gallaudet squad has been show.
ing better form in practice this spring
than in a long while. The inf1eld has
been working with better judgment
and superior generalship as whole
and the players have shown a greater
tendency to hit better than usual. or
| course. the Kendall Greeners are 60
ing up against good team when they
| meet Catholic University. but they
think they have fair chance to win.
1t is very probable that Rasmussen
will do the pitching for Gallaudet, the
| big fellow having proved the main
stay of the team for the last two
years.
While Gallaudet is not likely to win
from Catholic University, there is little
doubt that it will play higher grade
OF ball than usual this early in the
year. The men have shown better
form than in former years in their
practice games with the high school
mines. and they should consequently do
better work against the college teams
they will face
Much of the credit for the improve

be gwen Johnny Priest, who has been

Georgetown lost another game to the

The Blue and Gray was unable to cope

Georgetown's defeats in the south

its adherents. because the players and

The climate in Georgia is such that
base ball squads get out for practice
much earlier than they do here. which

, sidered. A weeks practice in the
early part OF the year is Of great
moment and worth much more than
