Hustle Themselves.
POOR BATTING AND FIELDING
Errors on the Part of the Local Team Gave
Princeton Hollow victory-Harley Made
Poor Exhibition at Short Field-Profes-
sionals Took a Rest.

A skurry OF snow did not stop the ball game
Mt Capitol park yesterday afternoon between
Georgetown and Princeton, the latter again
coming of victorious. Bad fielding and poor
batting proved losing combination for the
local boys, who if anything played worse
than on Saturday. Dick Harley seemed out
of place at short field and his errors were
many and costly. Ed. Dowd marred his
otherwise good record by an unfortunate
muffed fly. which was directly responsible for
the first five runs scored by the Tigers. His
batting was the redeeming feature of George
towns game. but his comrades were unable
to live up to the pace set.
An illustration o. how hungry the people
are for baseball was the large attendance with
the thermometer away down and the wind
cutting and cold. There were at least
seventy-flve ladies present, and many of them
kept warm by joining in the stamping which
was pretty general among the males. One
enthusiastic iema.c admirer OF Georgetown
displayed the college colors of blue and gray
and also encased one small hand in huge
catcher's nit. She became tired alter Prince
ton had taken the lead and busted herself in
the effort TO keep warm.
1t was not Carmodys fault the game was
lost, as he pitched good ball. and. with decent
support, would have won the contest. George
and Ed. Mahoney played a good fielding
game. as did Cotter and McGrath. Sullivan
was next to useless in right field. while Pat
Carbon lost chance to make a fine play.
Harley hai four errors, and was very unior-
tunate in each costing run. For the Tigers
both Htzrot and Altman pitched well,
the latter coming into the game in
tf.l, ala, ala -
game at second. while both the Wards showed
to advantage. Gunter looked after third
base In fine style and also batted well.
'Doggien Trenchard was lucky in twice get
ing to first on errors of Harley.
Georgetown would have scored in the open
ing inning if either Cotter or Carmodv could
have hit the ball outside the diamond, as
Princeton made two fielding errors which
did not prove costly. In the second inning
Dowd lost golden chance for run when
he tried TO get home on a three-bagger with
nobody out. Directly afterward George Ma
honey hit safely. but il was too late 1t was
in the last halt of the third inning that the
Tigers punched a few hits. and the George
towns threw away the game by punching four
errors.
p Ward led off with grounder TO Harley,
who fumbled. Hitzroat struck out while
Ward stole second. 1t was ut this juncture
King sent n short fly to center field. which
Dowd missed, and also the chance to COM
plete a double play. Ward scored on the error.
and then Payne and W. d. Ward followed
with safe hits Harley made fist OF Trench
ards hit, Sullivan let grounder get away
from him, and when the snow had stopped
falling Princeton had five full-grown runs to
its credit.
Georgetown awakened from its lethargy in
the sixth. when two tallies resulted, and the
faithful adherents of the local team were
given chance to vent some of their super
fiuous wind in college cries. Singles by
Hardy and Sullivan and an error by p. Ward
did the business. aided by Cotter's long fly to
right. This rally did not last. however. and
Georgetown failed TO add to its score.
The Princetonians piled up three more
runs in the sixth on base on balls to Gun
ster, singles by P. Ward and Altman, three
stolen bases, and Carmody's wild pitch. They
garnered three additional in the seventh on
singles by Gunster and p. Ward and errors by
Harley and E. Mahoney. They made it an
even dozen by scoring another in the eighth
on Paynes hit and Carmody's wild throw.
The score:
