NORTHERN TRIP IS
DOUBTFUL FOR G. ..
BrookIanders May Decide to
Call OFF Jaunt, as But Two
Can Be Met.

Catholic University may call off its
Northern baseball trip due to start
April 20. The fact that so many of
the colleges scheduled by the Brook
landens have cancelled their dates may
lead the c. U. authorities to postpone
their jaunt until another year.
C. u. is scheduled to play Harvard,
Tufts. Boston College, Holy Cross, and
West Point OF these teams Holy
Cross and the Army are the only ones
now playing, and it's doubtful IL the
trip will be taken, although the Army
may be encountered.
Tomorrow Catholic University Is
due to play Gallaudet at American
League Park. The Brooklanders have
a benefit game with the Gallaudet
lads, and the game will be called at
$3.50, p. m, providing weather condi-
tions are right.

PHILADELPHIA, April 13.-It has
long been the idea Of Washington
fans that, IL Eddie Foster could only
begin hitting again, the Griffmen
would win more games than they'd
lose. Well, judging from the midget's
deeds against Myers and Noyes,, he
has begun to hit.
Coming up against Myers in the
opening frame, Foster hammered such
a slam toward "whitey" Witt that,
taking a bad hop and hitting the
Mackman in the eye, 1t almost knock
ed him off his feet.
In the second inning, against Noyes,
once with the Braves, Foster slammed
one of his old-timers right over sec
ond base to center. 1t was a clean
bingle.
Ping Bodie was playing well over
behind shortstop when Foster came
up in the sixth with Leonard on first
and SO Fateem pulled a double along
the left field line, 1t was great place
hitting.
Myers Beaten Early.
Elmer Myers was beaten early, five
hits and an error giving the Griffmen
three tallies in the very first frame.
Then came Noyes, who had his trou-
bles and gave way to a pinch hitter
in the seventh. Nabors closed ip good
style.
Leonard opened the game with a
single and stole. Fosters wicked
bounder hoped UP into Wits eye,
scoring Leonard. Milan forced Foster
and Rice singled over second. Then
both runners worked a double steal.

pearance in the nostrils, throat and
air passages, the disease becomes
more and more aggravated and finally
reaches down into the lungs. and
everyone recognizes the alarming con-
dition that results when the lungs are
affected. Thus Catarrh may be the
torerunner OF that most dreaded and
hopeless Of all diseases, consumption.
No local treatment affords perma-
nent relief. Experience has taught
that s. s. S. is the one remedy which
attacks the disease at its source, the
blood, and produces satisfactory re-

.CHENEY'S SUCCESS
DUE TO WILDNESS
Batters Never Know What Is
Coming and Get Few Hits.
Baseball Notes.

Larry Cheney, the Brooklyn pitcher,
does not deny that he is wild; on the
contrary, he Acknowledges 1t. The
great spitballer has been in the
league for five years and makes cap
ital Of the fact that in that time he
has pitched two games, wherein he
gave no bases on balls. One was with
Chicago in 1912, the other last year
with the Superbas.
Larry Is at his best when he is wild,
for he then has the stuff on the ball.
and while he keeps the fans guessing
with his many passes, the opposing
team rarely gets the timely hits.
Larry gave los bases on balls in forty
one games last year, made fifteen wild
pitches, and hit ten batsmen. but he
allowed only IFS hits and ninety-one
runs.
He won eighteen out Of thirty
games. Figuring on. his early season
form, Larry ought to better this rec
ord in 1917. He is in fine shape and IL
quite as wild as ever.
