GEORGETOWN PLAYERS STAGE
SEASONS FIRST BALL GAME

Yes, friend fans. old spring time
Is here.
The old box scores has again bust
ed into type and 1t sure feels good to
once more slants the figures of hits
and runs even If it is only practice
scrimmage between the varsity and
reserves teams of Georgetown Uni
versity baseball candidates.
Although Coach John O'Reilly was
not among those present to witness
his athletes in action on the Hilltop
campus, he nevertheless, had had
his squad so far advanced that he
promised competition for them yester-
day afternoon and acting Captain
Freddy Fees put the boys over the
jumps. Coach O'Reiliy is UP Boston
way for a short visit, as John just
cannot miss that annual Boston A. A.
meet.
Thirty-fiye candidates responded for
the workout yesterday and after
driving the athletes through a field
ing and batting practice Little
Freddy gave the fans present a real
treat. The varsity easily landed the
verdict in this five-inning battle by
a 4-to-0 count, due to the fact that
both Bill Dudack and Count" Zaz-
zelli, pitching for the varsity. held the
reserves in check.
Two hits were obtained of Zazzelli's $
delivery, while Lonchack, the first
batter to face Dudack, was the only
one to obtain n safe blow. Sammy
Hyman, a soutpaw hurler. faced the
varsity for the first three innings, his
wildness in the third session proving
costly. Framenheim, who finished the
route, was touched for three blows in
the two sessions.
Base on balls to Kenyon, Walsh and
Lynch followed by timely bingles by
Fees and Flavin paved the way for
the trio of tallies scored by the
varsity in the third, while Flavins
doubled and Dudsck's single gave the
varsity another score in the fourth.

sunshine yesterday and engaged in
the first workout in the open this

gether with some fielding and bat

what can be expected from the can

diamond before YESTERDAY.
