Work of Waldron, Martin, Wet

By KIRK C. MILLER.
Georgetown follow era are toda ex
pressing great satisfaction at having
finished the 191S basketball season -nit.lt
honors evened with Piinceton. the Hill
toppers having taken the second en
counter of the year from the Tigers by
23 -to 19. Early in the season. Prince

j games booked for its home flooi. Sus

row night, and Bucknell scheduled for
We -night or March 13. at tne .vxcaae.
In defeating Princeton, Georgetown
brings Itself up to the highest stand
nrd of basketball and proves that the
Blue and Gray, has indeed much su
perior athletic material. Much doubt
had been expressed as to the slncerety
and constancy with which the Blue and
Gray basketball quint has been train
ing, for its hardest games which come
at the end of the schedule and last
night's performance shows that the
team is capable, of bringing itself up
to any contingency, in the way of an
opponent.
Little Sough Tactics.
Probably no games participated in
, this year by the Georgetown quint has
disclosed so little rough tactics.
Although seventeen goals from fouls
were made, with several missed, the
fouls were of a nature that cannot be
attributed to roush work. The first
lialf of the game displayed much clever
passing of the ball and many long and
difficult shots. When the whistle sound
ed for the end of the half. Georgetown
had an advantage of two points over
Its guests, the soore being 8 to 6. '
Better co-operation among the men of
the home team was probably responsible
for the early lead taken by Georgetown.
Princeton seemed to be slightly at a
lots on the strange floor, and missed
many close goals on that account.
Foley and Wetzel took care of their
guard jobs In an almost perfect man
ner, seldom allowing their opponents to
.get the- Jump In tossing the ball over

iowns neavy jorwara. wno came in in
the second half in place of Campbell,
was the one big feature of the last
period. JTot that he tossed so many
goals, but he prevented so many from
baing scored. He "played all over the

Kelly Scores First
The first basket of the evening was
tossed over the wire frame by Kelly of
Georgetown. This Jump gae the flill
tepers heart, Waldron adding one point
to the score on a free toss and then
to more the next play. The rangy
center then committed a foul, and
Princeton got one Into the nettlnjr from
the fifteen-foot mark. Salmon made
tne throw. From this point on, George'
town gained By occasional scoring, and
fiot until six points were registered by
he home quint, did Princeton get

YOUNG TWIRLERS
HARD TO HANDLE
His Desire to Make an Impression on the Manager or Coach-
Often Causes Him
Sore Arms
Now that the major league baseball
teams are at work down South much
is read by the fans regarding the show
ing made by the young players as field'
ers. batsmen and base runners. The
lads who hit a straight ball over the
fence for a 'home run or -who pull down
a fly ball after a hard run will get their
names in the headlines.
The plays look good, and as no one
can tell whether the joungsters could
do the same things In championship
games they are given full credit by tiie
war correspondents for thetr feats.
Little, though, will be heard for a
time about another class of players.
These men axe the young twlrlers who
have been gathered from schools, col
leges, minor leagues and town lots.
While the lnflelders and outfielders will
be speeding up their playes In the hope
of catching the eyes of their manager,
the juvenile twlrlers will be "under
wraps."
They are just as anxious to "cut
loose as the candidates for other places
on the team, but the veteran catchers
who re looking aft'r their welfare will
not permit it. Occasionally a lad Is so
anxious to display his prowess that he
will disobey orders during the first week
or ten days of practice.
Uses All His Speed.
His ambition to strike out some star
slugger like a Cobb or a Crawford is
so keen that he will suddenly cut looe
with all of his speed or a curve ball
Such tactics aiwuye arouse the Ire
of the manager or hia coach, who has
the particular pitcher in tow. and a
sharp call-down usually follows.
The desire to show off, though, is
usually so keen among the Juveniles
that they cannot help cutting Ioohc.
Many of them, anxious to make cood
In the fast set," have worked outdoors
for some time before .going South. They
want their re.atlves and -friends -it
home to hear of their good work, and
they take chances of getting a call
down, too, in order to make an 1m
presslon. j
It is this habit which keeps the rei;-
ulars on a team on the anxious bench !
They have not had a chance of hav
ing their ces sharpened, and they are
just as wary of speed and curve"! at
the start rfs ary person could be. Ue
lig "plun'ted" on the arm, body, or
nead. 1 not a sensation that any ball
toit-er enjoys.
There is not a team In the country
that has so many first-cla pitcher i
that a manager Is nut constantly.- on
the watch for more of them. The pitch
ing staff is the keystone of a club Tor
this reason every team leader hopes
to dig up a "phenom" in the -prinp.

the Result.
M-Mz.h.UU:wJ
One year the Athletics took south a
very promising left-hander. He had
been much sought after by other clubs
and he was given the most careful' kind
of coaching. It was even -predicted by
some that he would turn out to be
another Waddell. The young man had
been "touted'; so strqnCihaV,he: really
BTthAnme?fclnlLXfl!7ld the situation from every
nau a naoit cununon wnu uia.ny wuui-
paws" of pitching a side-arm ball, and
efforts were made to get him to swing
his arm higher.
In the squad was "Matty" Kllroy, a
veteran of many campaign In the, ma
jor leagues, Matty Is UU .ranked ah
among the cleverest left-hand, pltphers
thn CQmA .vitr I'npir
the game ever knew.
Consider Himself Lucky.
A jouth who could have Kllroy give
him Instructions should consider him
self as lucky as if he were to find a
thousand-dollar bill. Not so this young
left-hander.
Kllroy took the lad under his wing
and urged him to get his arm over
his shoulder before pitching. Matty
tried time and again, and told Just why
the over-arm swing was better than
the side-arm motion.
All the advice fell upon deaf ears.
The fact that the man instructing him
had held a Job for two years in the
majors on his head work alone didn't
make any difference.
"I've been accustomd to pitching
this way." was the surly remark of
the youngster, and he kept on with his
side-arm motion.
That lad went back to the minors be
fore the championship season was a
month old, and he is still there.
All young twlrlers, though, do not
break Into the majors with a'consum
lng desire to show on in tho South.

any impression upon the fans. In con-sequ'-nce
there were few- press notices
about Alexander sent up from the train

After the Phillies got back from tl-s
South. Alexander began to get busy. In
