Catholic University and

!. Teams in Next Two Weeks.
BY n. C. BYRD.

49, College and school base ball teams
springs practice. Unless the winter
weather takes up the most of March
instead of the period of the year it
usually occupies, the various squads
are likely to be on the fields much
earlier than for a long time past.
About FIVE years ago. during an ex-
oeptionally warm February. several of
the colleges got their men out for
workouts about the middle of Febru-
arg, and some are planning to do the
same thing this year.
Charley Moran, athletic director at
Catholic University, stated yesterday
that he expected to call out some OF
his players within the next two weeks
unless the weather gets much colder.
According to the C. L. man. many
Rrookland teams have encountered
much worse weather for base ball in
March and at times in April than
would have to be overcome right now.
Up at Georgetown, where the diamond
is especially well situated for early
Spring practice, the players probably
Will get an even earlier start than
those at the other schools.
Base ball prospects at all the col
leges are said to be good. Catholic
University has exceptionally good ma
sterial, except that it may be little
weak in pitching. Georgetown is said
to possess better mea than for several
springs, and Maryland State has back
the best men that have worn its colors
lin the last two years.
