Georgetown has to do is set a tear?
70 play through IL. And that IS not
likely to be en- easy task. consider
ing that little more than few
pitchers remain at the Hilltop. The
hold-overs from the 1923 nine are 4
shortstop,- an outfelder one first
string and two second-strin CatCA
eTS and four hurlers.
This mound staff, though, with any
kind of support, will make matters
interesting for all of Georgetown's
opponents. II includes Homer Jen-
kins. clever southpaw that gave
clark Griflth'S Nationals a great bat
| tie at American League Park Iasr
spring; Ken Jones. very apt right
handler; Tabor and Mccarthy.
To handle these slabmen. George
town has jim Cunningham, who did q
deal of catching last season: Eddie
Smell and Puggy DuFour. Tram a.

also are at hand. For the remaindc-
OF the team, the Georgetown coaci.

tain reserve material Of 1923 and the
untried candidates due 10 report mex,
