GEORGETOWN 70 MEET VERMONT Reorganizing Canoe YMpterests in the District) }: COMING GOLF TOURNAMENT —E All the members of the Washington club were on hand promptly at 10 o'clock thts morning at Nationel Park, aS usual, and irstead of practicing, they all congregated in the dressing room, and, under the guid- arce of Manager Schmelz, went over the gcod and bad plays that developed in. yes- terday’s game. In this afternoon's game with the Nor- folks, the patrons will be given their first epportunity of sizing up Pitcher Kimball, the only one of the new pitchers that has not been on the rubber this week against the Norfolks. ‘“‘Win” Mercer will start oft for the first three innings; Swaim will éol- low for three innings, and a will firish, - Next week's games will te full of inter- «st, embracing, as they do, two college games, an all-Washington game, and three games with a minor leaguer. ‘The all- Washington team will be captained by Harry O'Hagan, and this clever player will Right Fielder Lush. have the assistance of all the professional ers in the city not comprised in the orial aggregation, with the exception f Abbey.

This will be “Bill second year in the big league, and only the fourth one in_ professional clothes. Lush started off with a club in his native place, Bridgeport, Conn., a sort of semi- professional nine, for which Jim O'Rourke was catcher, in 1894, and His work was of such a character that the veteran catcher recommended him to the Rocheste: agement, who signed him’ for 18% continued his gcod work in the League and was singled out by several of Sie managers of the country as a coming r. rl Wagner drew2a bead on him Battce the season closed,’ $1,000 being the powder . and thus sur Wag. paid not- withstanding that Lush had wGréken finger. Last r “Billy’s" fielding was of the very best, but going agains, the foxy pitc ers of the big league kept his average down around the 2) mark, and malaria, the ter- ror of all new residents in this city, also played an important part in preventing him slugging the ball. This year Lush believes he has mastered the climate and has also en to batting from the left side with good effect. All things considered Mr Wagn investment has proved fairly good so far, and the indications are that the best part of the purchase is about to develop.

Senators Hit the Ball Hard and Often. The game of yesterday between the aghington and Norfolk clubs was a Iit- tle more interesting than the one the day previous, as the local men regained their batting eye and hit the ball out often and hard. Several sensational plays were put through by both sides, and the way the base runners took chances kept the spec- tators continually on the tiptoe of excite- ment. Whenever one of the Washington boys got on first it was a foregone con- clusion that a base steal would be tried, but owing to the extremely accurate throwing of aCtcher Nie i2w pilfers were recorded. “Billy” Lush secured two and Brown and Abbey one each. Several were na‘led as pretty as a picture. Norion was in the box for the Senators fer five innings, and his work of the best, but two hits being vegistered off his delivery and one was the rankest sort of accident, the batter trying for a sacri- fice. Norton has regained his old health and promises to be one of the standbys of the club. Ashe relieved Norton in the sixth inning and, of course, was desirous of making a good showing on his first time out. Instead of takirg it easy he started ia on his swift inghoot and as a result ‘soaked’ the first two batters that came to the plate. After the sixth inning he settled down, and bat two more hits went against him, resulting in no runs. Ashe is strictly, all right and tl prove it before the season is a month Sire the Norfolks, Pfanmiller went on the rubber first and pitched the irst; three in- nings, giving a good account of himself, but two hits, a single and_double, being made by the local boys. The pld league twirler, Clausen, followed ‘for three in- nings, and did only fairly ‘well, six hits being secured off his delivery, ohe a home run by Lush and the other a three-baser by Abbey. In the seventh inning Pitcher Wilson went into the box for the visitors ‘o finish out the game, but he lacked practice and failed to stay the inning out, being very wild, and five runs quickly came over the rubber for the Senators. Purner, a local man, finished out the game.and‘nis work was of the very best. This -boy will be heard from betore long. selbach’s ankle troubled him, and Ab- pnt into left field in his place, and the light-haired boy took care: of every- thing that came his way, and at the bat wielded the ash in a way that brought back pleasant memories of his ability in that line two seasons ago. Lush and Cart- wright were close up, the former having a home run and a single and the latter two singles. The pretty part about Lush is his knack in shifting from left to right on the different pitchers. When Pfanmiller came up Lush batted left handed and when Left- hander Clauser went in the box he shifted to right and plunked the ball every time. Nene of the Norfoiks made over one hit, McFerland reaching third base on his beautiful drive. In a fielting sense eve: body did well, Catcher Nie being the premier, while Leahy’s work’ short was above the ave! From the home side the fielding was al- most perfect, DeMoutreville's slip being a surprise to everbody, as the boy coppered $5,000 Given By The Victor Company.

Georgetown University Will Play the Green Mountain State Boys. The University of Vermont nine will try conclusions with the wearers of the blue and gray on Georgetown field this after- noon. The game will afford an excellent opportunity for a line to be gained on the relative strength of Virginia and George- town, as the University of Vermont comes direct from games with the former. The local team does not expect such an easy victory over the Vermonters, but feels as- sured that it will continue the dose ad- ministered by Virginia. The Vermont team will take the field as follows: Jonnson, short stop; Whelan, sec- ond base; Addinger, catcher; Dinsmore, pitcher; Miner, third base and pitcher; Emery, first base; Weaver, left field; Styles, right field, and Raymond, center field. The Georgetown team of Kelley, center field; Fleming, second base; McCarthy, left field; Reardon, short Lamb, right field; Sm , third base; Dawson, first base; Maloney, catcher; Walsh, Bach and Clancy, pitchers. The game will begin at 4 o'clock, and there is a prospect of a large attendance, as the Georgetown University great favorite in base ball circles in Wash- ington, and its work is watched with a great deal of interest and approval. ili be made up The universities of Vermont and Virginia played their second game of base bail yes- terday on the grounds of the latter institu- tion, the home team again winning by a score of 12 to 4. The game as a whole lacked interest because of the defeat ad- ministered to the Vermonters the day previous, and was devoid of brilliant plays, with the exception of a difficult catch by Bonney, captain of the Virginia team. The Vermont boys evinced the same weakness at the bat that characterized their work on the day previous and eleven fell victims to the wiles of Miner's pitching. The visitors also made disastrous errors in the field, al- though the home team put up a loose field- ing game. Virginia batted weil, while Dinsmore, third base for Vermont, secured three of the six hits credited to the visitors. NOEING.
