TO make catcher out of one of the
four following men: Curran HealY

sitions also have played very little
bass ball. For first base. there are
Lawler and Moore: for second. Mulve-
hill and Rock, and for third. Ignace
and Cummings. Right now there
seems to be no choice between the
two men trying out for either of the
three positions.

Roddy is likely to get one of the

Cannon and Riley.
Moran is about as blue over the
prospects of his team this year as he
has ever been in all the years he has
been coaching base ball at Catholic
University. However it must not be for
gotten that Moran before the season
opens. usually has no infield or no
outfield. and no pitchers and no
catchers, but, after he once gets un-
der way with his team, nearly always
wins more than his share of vic
tories. This may be another such
seasons for him.
Maryland Has Veterans.
University of Maryland has available
for its team only the members of the
squad left from 1922. 1t was fortunate
in that it lost only three men. though.
and consequently will be able to start
with nearly the same lineup that
represented it last season. Bailey
catcher: Paganucci second base, and
Beachley, left field. are the players who
will not be with the squad this spring.
Bailey, who will be missed more than
working out with the other players. but
is not eligible. Anderson. another man
who was depended on for pitching. is
working out but is not eligible.

mons, Litchfield and Mace, and Out
fielder, Remsberg. Several other play,
ers who were not out for the squad
q year ago are practicing. but in all
probability the regular team Will be
picked from those mentioned.
Maryland is likely to be at consid-
cradle disadvantage during its early
season, as it goes south to play nine
games right at the opening of it's
schedule. On that trip it undoubtedly
will stack up against some of the best
