In appearance he is very much Itke famous Jack Carter of Yale and has Jack’s pecullar delivery, which proved so puzzling to batsmen. He 1s not con- sidered a heavy batter, but taps out a safe one when he does hit, and is a heady base runner. Harry Dawson, the first baseman, is a resident of Rockville, Md., and is twenty- two years old. His height is five feet eight inches and he weighs 160 pounds. This is his -first year on the Georgetown team, but the reputation he made at Rockville last season is well known. He is an es- pecially vicious hitter, plays first in a man- ner that would make Uncle Anson happy to see, and ts a speedy base runner. Paul Fleming of Cambridge, Mass., is one of the last season’s team, and will gvard the seccnd bag again this year. He is twenty-one years of age, five feet seven Inches in height and weighs 165 pounds. His fielding at second 1s probably the best done on the team, and his batting average last year was second only to that of Caot. McCarthy, who led the list. His hits are usually long and close down to the ground, and he ts a good sprinter on bases. James Reardon of Holyoke, Mass., will play at shortstop again this season. His height fs five feet six inches, his age twen- ty years, and he weighs 156 pounds. He has from his heavy and regular hitting gained for himself the sobriquet of ““Home- tun Reardon,” end his stick work {fs al- ways a feature of Georgetown's games. He fields his position well, and {fs a good runner. Also plays on the foot ball team, and is considered one of the standbys of both foot ball and base ball. Charles Green of the District, captain of the Reserves, will play substitute short stop when occasion requires. He is a good player and has been highly complimented by Coach Kelly on the way he handles his team. “Bud” Smith of Bardstown, Ky., is an- other of the new men who will be used on the team when occasion requires. He is twenty-two years of age, five feet nine ep years: welghs 185 pounds. s well known and the knack of hit- A rare thing for | harmoniously inches in height, and weighs 170 pounds. He was captain of Mt. St. Mary’s team last season, and played on that nine for three years. He is a good shortstop and an excellent all-round player; a good batter and a very fast runner. James McIntyre of Savannah, Ga., who was substitute third baseman last season, will be played in that position this year. He ts only eighteen years old, weighs 150 pounds and is five feet eight inches in height. His batting is above the average, and he is probably the most accurate thrower on the team. Jack Hazel of Montpelier, Vt., is a sub- stitute player on first base. He is a new man at Georgetown, and little is known of him, as he has played little ball, but from the showing he has made in practice he gives promise of being a strong player. His batting has been good, and his throw- ing is of the fast kind. His weight is only 135 pounds, and his age is nineteen years. W. E. Fox of Cincinnati, Ohio, whose reputation as a _ sprinter has spread throughout the college world, has been forced to leave the track on account of his health, and has returned to ball playing. He is twenty-one years of age. five fee eleven inches in height, and weighs 17 pounds. He is a substitute infielder, and knows how to hit the ball and run bases. Joseph Tobin of San Francisco, Cal., is five feet eleven inches in height and weighs 150 pounds. He is the youngest man on the sublist, being only seventeen years old, but is a good fielder, fair batter and base runner. Ed Lamb of New York will be in right fleld this season. He has been a prominent figure on the team in past seasons, and his work will compare favorably with that of much older ball players. His fielding has always been of the star order, and hig batting is good. Lamb has been accused of being the ladies’ man of the team. He is a student in the medical department and stands high in his classe: James Smith of Maryland played on the second team last year in right field, but as beer put on the substitute outfielders’ ist of the ‘varsity this season. His rec- ord last year was good, and he will cer- tainly show up well when he plays on the big team. “Buck” Kelley of Pennsvivania is an- other outfielder on the substitute list, and the showing he has meade in practice war- rants the belief that he will put up a strong game. He is a good runner and a careful, steady man at bat, seldom hitting hard, but managing to usually touch up a pitch- er for a single. Ed. Kelly of Massachusetts will be the guardian of left field. He is a fast run- ner and fields brilliantly. His batting, while not strong, is regular and reliable, round players on the team.

When the short time this institution has been established, and the therefore neces- sarily limited number of students in at tendance from which material for a team may be drawn, $s considered, cne would scarcely expect to find much interest or enthusiasm in this direction, but every man in the school is taking a deep interest in making a strong nine, and all are working to that end. Not only are the students interested, but a number of the officers of the school and many of the professors are genuine fans, and will give the! rnest support to the Athletic Asso- ciation. Capt. Tom Brown of the V League t and eve weeks, able, has had the men on the field getting in shape for the opening of the season. A curious thing concerning the makeup of the nine ts that six of the players have previously captained college nines at other fistitutions where they have attended school. ‘These men are W. T. Cas! second base: J. M. Hannan, catcher; W. P: Burns, shortsiop; Thos. McTighe, pitche ©. A. Collins, first base, and James Igo center field. ‘The other players on the team are nearly all mer. who have had one or more season's experience on the diamond, and who are expected to make a good showing. Manager John F. Duane has arranged a schedule of games which ts given below, and It will be seen that some of the crack been engaged z on during the past tw teams of the big eastern univers! are to be met. A game has also be ranged with the Senators, to he played at National Park just prior to the opening of league season, and an opportunity then be given to see what they can do. The team is somewhat handicapped in the matter of suitable grounds near the university on which to play, for although a good and smooth diamond has been laid out, the outfield is rough and slopes down teward the center too much. Some work has been done toward leveling this, and it will be made Into as nice and smooth a fleld as the city affords during the com!ng sum- mer, but it {s not expected that this work can be accomplished in time for the pres- ent season. By fall, however, it will have been completed, and the foot ball team will use the grounds, and next spring there will be no difficulties in the way, so far as grounds are concerned. In the schedule given below there are twenty-two games and four open dates. the will Two of these are expected to be filled soon, tne by Yale and the other by the Carlisle Indians, and both games will be played in this city. All games scheduled to be played here will be played at National Park unless the dates should interfere with the regular league schedule. The opening geme will be played on March 81, and the season will close on June 5. The schedule: March 81—Johns Hopkins University at Wasbing- ton. April 8 Rock Hill College at Rock Hill, Ma.

From the short sketch of the men who will Go the work as given below a fairjidea of the weight and ability of the team may be gained, and will undoubtedly be of interest to all base ball fans and more csp3cially to the college men. » John F. Duane, who. hassbeen elected manager of the team, was dorm in Brook- lyn, N. Y., twenty-three years ago. He attended Manhattan College for four years and graduated in 1895, stand?ng-well up in his class. He was manager of; the Man- hattan foot ball team during the season of i8)4, and was so successful that he was elected to manage the Jaspers, a crack base ball team of Manhattan, during the season of 1895. While he was at the head of the Jaspers they met and defeated many of the strorgest college nines in the east, and much of the credit for their success was due to Duane. During his manage- ment of the affairs of the Athletic Asso- ciation at Manhattan the high water mark F. A, Bolton. J. J. Kennealy. of prosperity was reached. He has hereto- fore shown executive ability af a high or- der and has a wonderful faculty for pre- venting friction among the players and M- ducing a steady, willing, all-together team work which is one secret of his success. The men who will play on this year’s team express great confidence In him and each and every one of them ts ready to co-op- erate with him in his plans for the suc- cess of the ty team. He is a stu dent in the law department of the unive' sity, a candidate for the degree of bach lor of laws, which he will probably attain this year. William T. Cashman, who will captain the ra} M.

Y., while being one of the youngest men on the m, is by no means the smallest. He is six feet and one inch tall and weighs 19% pounds. He is a pitcher of considera- ble reputation, having been in the box two seasons at Mount St. Mar. one season with the Carnegie Athletic Club and last season on the varsity team.

Richmond Col- lege, Johns Hopkins University and Uni- versity of Maryland. Several other teams are being negotiated with, and altogether he expects to have about eighten or twen- ty _gamcs before the season closes. The difficulty of securing grounds has been overcome and games will be played at the c. A. C. grounds, 17th and C streets. A brief outline of the regular and substi- tute players, as given below, will prove an interesting Index to point out what may be expected of the team. Quite a number of as McTighe, he has a puzzling delivery and one which proved very effective in the two seasons he played on the Rock Hill team.

His height is five fect eleven inches; weight, 164 pounds: and his age twenty-one, He has captained the team for three seasons past and is much liked by those who have played under him. He 1s a pole vaulter of considerable reputation and a general all-around athlete.

Dalzell has played three years on the Capt. Greene. has been practicing there daily when the weather permitted. Quite a list of pitchers has been secured, among them six-foot-four Cummings and W. L.

Undoubtedly the Colum- pian ‘varsity nine is better prepared for fast company than in any season before, and some surprises may be expected after the season opens. More interest is manifest among the students this season than for several years past, and the men who have been selected to manage the affairs of the ‘base ball team are energetic, hustling fel- lows, who will leave no stone unturned to make the team what it should be. A. A. F. Sellhausen, who has been elected ‘manager of the team, is a native Wash- ingtonian and is twenty-three years old.
