Much already has been said about
the strength of the pitching depart
ment at Georgetown. reynolds. ny
man and Bissonette standing out as
exceptional performers. SO much has
been said. in fact, that an elaboration
of words concerning their capabilities
would be SuperfiuouS-
Has Two Good Southpnws.
1t is Catholic University which de-
serves special mention in regard to
the superiority of its pitching staff
over the last two years. The Brook
Ianders have jackson and Dollard
and both not only have been pitching
fine ball, but have the natural advan-
tage of being. left-handers. College
ball teams. for one reason or another
do not hit very we'll against left
handlers and possession of two men
who fling from the port side is fac
tor which is making much of the sue
cess of the Brooklanders. And there
is not much doubt that Charley
Moran's outfit is having one of its
best seasons
University of Maryland's nine'is bet
ter supplied with slab material than
usual. IN keene it has hurler who
will hold his own with the best in col
legiate ranks, and Nlsbef' keene
running mate last year. is showing
about so per cent better form TINS
spring. Resides these two men. the
college Park school has Wilson and.
Monk, both freshmen. who should IN
another season become very effective.
And both can pitch fairly good bail
now. Monk is southpaw-
\. c. state Well Fixed.
All the games being played by
North Carolina State are being well
pitched. mainly because of the excel
lent slabwork of Murray ad Curtis.
Something of Murray's ability may be
realized when it is stated that last
week on Monday he beat Wake For
eS-. to /. in twelve innings. and
allowed only four hits and with only
one days rest pitched on Wednes-
ady a tcn-inning tie against Mary
land. Curtis also has performed well.
one of his accomplishments having
been an elevcn-inning game with
Wake Forest. And. incidentally. it
might be mentioned here that Wake
Forest has a nine which need not
take back seat in competition with
any other in the section.
North Carolina Universitys pitching
an is not so strong. comparatively
speaking. as the remainder If the
team. but is not weak by any means
In Wilson. Llewellyn, Abernathy and
another whose name is not remem-
bored. but who defeated the Uni
versity of Florida in 3-to-1 game
last Friday, the Chanel Hill school
has enough material to give it bet
ter than an even chance in any COL
legiate contest Trinity College.
while it does not have a hurler of
the ability of Joe Cavenas. its star
or last season, possesses a left-hander
in Joe Simpson and right -hander in
Carroll who have been winning
practically all their games.
Virginia. Washington and Lee, and
Virginia Polytechnic Institute are
not so strong this spring and much
OF their weakness may be found in
TACK OF competent pitching material
Virginia especially has a strong nine
when it places Harrison on the slab.
but without him it has not been able
to accomplish much.
Washington College Has Two,
In speaking of pitchers it is not
amiss to mention two who hurl for
Washington College, although that
institution is too small to figure much
IN comparison with the larger institu-
tions. These are Gordy and Wright.
Gordy Is due to become a member of
Grinths club Immediately after the
close OF the college year. Wright
also is a capable hurler, having much
better speed and curves than usually
are seen.
Discussion of pitchers naturally
brings about question of the CATCH
ers. In the south Atlantic states it,
seems that four men stand out IS the
best. They are Kenyon of George
town. Bailey of Maryland. Morris of
North Carolina and Carson of Trim
ity. 1t would require too much space
TO talk about the comparative capa-
bilities of these men. and sufficient to
say that they all are good receivers
of the ball. throw pretty we'll and
hold up their teams as good catchers
should. Probably Carson of Trinity
is the quickest and most accurate
thrower to bases.
