pitching and Kenyon and Cunning
ham the catching. However, George
town has one new slab artist who Is
said to have all the requisites of
collegiate star. His name is Jenkins,
and last year he made splendid
record for Dean Academy. Jenkins,
like Hyman. is lefthander.
Has Veteran Inhelders.
Sheedy at first and Flavin at third
are the veterans around whom the
Blue and Gray infleld is to be built.
The best Of the material out for the
keystone positions are WEIGH and
Sheridan at second and John Murphy
and Malley at short. Sheridan and
Malley are from the team Of 1921.
The three leading players for out
field positions are Jimmy Murphy.
Schmidt and Mccarthy are two more
pitchers who are showing much more
than the average collegiate hurler.
John .OReilly. coach of the team,
said last night that, his team was
way back in it's training and that he
had been unable. because of weather
conditions, to work his men together
and build up anything much in the
way of teamwork. O'Reilly expressed
the opinion that teams coming here
from the north would have much the
advantage of local mines, because of
the cages in which the northerners
practice during inclement weather.

base is doubtful. as three men are
working out around that corner and
not one seems up to the standard of
the other inffeld men. Mccarthy,
Lawler and Connell are trying for the
job.

the catching for the Brooklanders, al

Maryland's Outlook Bright.
University of Maryland has had so
many men at practice that little ad-
vance has been made. The squad
it is down to twenty men, and to-
morrow work will begin in welding

member of last years pitching staff

Hagerstown High School. The Mary
landers have left-hand hurler for
the first time in years in the person
of Schrider. who toed the slab last
summer for Silver Spring.
Bailey. captain; Wallace and Wat
kins. catchers in 1921 are back, as
is the entire infield of last season,
Pollock at first. Paganucci at second,
short. Moran and Sem1er are the out
f1elders of the 1921 team on the
squad. Best of the new players try
ing for positions on the infield are
Simmons. former University of Min
hesata freshman first baseman; Bes-
ago; Garder, from Mount Airy High
School, and Litchfield, former East
(rn High first-sacker. Heine, who
used to play in the outfield for Tech
High, and Mace. outfielder at Cam
