played this week. The remaining
contests go over TO next week for

Granted that Maryland State has
succeeded IN linking the Hilltop nine

have a better all-around team,
stronger on attack and defense and
steadier throughout the season. State

Gothsn Looks EN- Over.
New York scribes In looking all of
the Eastern title Nontenders over
singled out Holy Cross, the Navy,
Lehigh, and Georgetown as having
the best college teams In the East.
IL was pointed out that Georgetown's
claim would be good IL the Navy was
beaten.
The Hilltoppers have decisiveIy de-
feated Navy, Holy Cross. and Lehigh.
and on the basis OF elimination could
be awarded the palm. In substanti-
alton OF our claim for title honors
town lads have woH sixteen battles
against the best college teams In
the country and have lost but three.
Georgetown has been beaten by 5
10 by Vermont in extra innings, has
been beaten by Cornell 8 to 4 in extra
innings and lost a 3-to-2 game to
Maryland State.

as well as those OF Cornell have

high, Delaware, South Carolina, Wash

On defense the team has shown,
with but one or two exceptions

usual praise bestowed by John Henry,

aggregation in every department that
he has seen in many a year. Plank,
who is brother of the famous Eddie
Plank, vouchsafed that Georgetown
J had a great college baseball team:
Burkett opined that Georgetown's
defense as well as its offense was re-
markable, and that he considered it
as well-balanced a college team as he
had ever seen.
Has Had Good Pitching.
It is proverbial that college base
ball generally consists OF teams
whose batteries are much better than
their batters. Ordinarily in college
baseball the defense is all out Of pro-
portion to the offense, for the reason
that the pitchers are usually much
better than the batters.
This is not the case with George
