worth seeing.
Catholic University will put forth
great efforts to win from Harvard,
Fahey, the pitching star of the team,
being scheduled to take the mound.
The Brooklanders hope to take the
measure of the Crimson. though they
realize that the task will be very DIFF
f1cult. Harvard Is nearly always rep
resented by strong nine, and this
spring it's aggregation seems to be
much better than usual:
Boston College has a stronger team
than 1t showed against c. u, accord
ing to definite report, and it may be
that it will give the Georgetown nine a
hard time. Princeton, of course, IS the
favorite in the game with the Mary
land Aggies, as the pitching of the last
mentioned institution OF late has not
proved good enough to beat team OF
generally turns out.
GEORGETOWN had an easy time defeat
ing Washington College yesterday. me
Blue and Gray's game was featured by
the pitching of Cantwell, who did some
remarkable work. CantweH allowed
five hits and caused thirteen men to
fan the air on strikes He was almost
invincible, holding his game well in
hand all the time. Enright. who is a
splendid college hur:er, was on the
mound for the visitors and his work
was good, but he got very poor sup
port, The general play of the Blue and
Gray nine was much better than that
of the losers.
,, Catholic University had one bad in
ming against Lehigh and that was
sufficient to lose the contest. The
| Brooklanders got away in the third
Inning with four runs, and i'll the fifth
got another. With lead of three runs
lit looked like the local nine would win
without great deal of trouble. Poor
support for johnson allowed the Penn
lsyiyanians to get four men across in
the sixth, though, and as they had al
ready scored two in previous inning,
| they captured the game by 6 to 5.
Neither team was able to get man
| to the plate in the seventh, eighth or
ninth inning.
There was a lot of hitting on the part
1 of both teams. Catholic University get
ting nine safe uTlNeS ana LenlSn tnlf-
! teen. Had Johnson been given effective
support Lehigh might not have won.
White of Catholic University and Yap
of Lehigh led in the batting, each man
connecting for three bingies out OF
| four attempts.
