TOMORROW Williamsburg Men Yesterday Checked Long Win- ning Streak of Marines—Georgetown Track Team Goes to West Point for Big Meet. BY JOHN B. KELLER. IAMOND athletes of historic D William and Mary College are the wecek-end guests of Washington varsity base ball teams, being scheduled to play here today and tomorrow. The Indians were !r? invade the Hilltop this afternoon to tackle the formidable Georgetown nine, while their Saturday date is with Catholic University at Brookland. X These men of Williamsburg have been doing very well at base ball this season, and ought to make matters interesting for both of the local teams to be encountered. The may be the long struggle. The Indians have in their line-u several first-class college players, The brightest star of the lot probably is Hicks, who takes care of the short- field. He generally covers a deal of territory, handles difficult chances Well, throws strongly, and at bat has been a consistently good hitter. Den- ton at second base and Parsons of the outfield also are varsity players above the average. William and Mary triumphed yes- terday in a weird game that was pro- ductive of almost every play possible in base ball. Both teams batted vig- orously and pitchers were changed frequently. The Indians held a com- manding lead at the outset of the sixth inning, then the Marines began accumulating runs in bunches, finally deadlocking the battle with three tallies in the ninth. In the extra ses- sion Denton’'s doubl and Parsons’ single gave the Indians the decisive marker. f Maryland's nine has n t tomorrow with Vir- Rinia at Charlottesville. 1t will be the only game of the Season hatgicen these nines.
