The University baseball team will play its second game with Georgetown on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The team played Georgetown at Washington on April 16 in its first game of the season and was defeated by the score of 6 to 0. Unsteadiness in the box combined with weak fielding on the part of the team was responsible for the defeat.
The Georgetown team this year has shown its usual strength, particularly in the first part of the season. In the Princeton series the team won both games, by scores of 1 to 0 and 5 to 4 respectively. The victories were due chiefly to good pitching by Seitz and Crumley and to bunching of hits at critical moments. In the two games with Yale, Georgetown was victorious in the first, winning by a score of 9 to 0, but was defeated in the second at New Haven on Monday, 7 to 3 in a game characterized by loose fielding on both sides. On May 4 the team was defeated by Pennsylvania in a game in which Pennsylvania made eight hits against Crumley while Georgetown made but three against Devlin. Since that time Crumley has left Georgetown and is now playing professional ball in Indianapolis.
The University team which at the beginning of the season was weak at the bat, has improved materially, making twelve hits in the game with Pennsylvania and thirteen against Colby. The outfield which was new in the Pennsylvania game has improved since that time in both speed and steadiness and now covers ground well.
In the game this afternoon, Coburn will pitch and Quigley will catch. Stephenson, who has been out of the game for some days on account of an injured knee took part in the practice yesterday and Monday, and will catch in the Princeton game on Saturday.
The batting order this afternoon will be as follows:
