PUNCHED THEIR BAD WORK
Georgetown College Lost by Their
Miserable Fielding Play.
FIFTH INNING WAS DECISIVE
By Combination Of Errors the Local Lads
Allowed University Of Pennsylvania to
Pile up Six Runs, Which Practically Lost
the Game-Reserves Defeat the Regulars.

Georgetown lost game to the University
of Pennsylyania which should have resulted
the other way. 1t was due to miserable field
ing on the part of the local lads in the fifth
inning that the visitors were presented with
six unearned runs and the game. George
town in this inning gave an illustration oil
how badly nine could play, five errors fol-
lowing one another in rapid succession, and
the spectators were dismayed at the sudden
turn things were taking. Previously to this
inning the local boys were in the lead and
playing good ball, but their let down proved
most disastrous. The bad work began with q
tumble by Ed. Mahoney. McGrath muffed
an easy fly ball and Bahen followed with q
missed grounder A scratch hit by Schoenhut,
two bases on balls, and wild throws by E.
and G. Mahoney came in rapid success ion.
and before the inning was over a half dozen
Pennsylvania men had crossed the plate.
Arthur Irwin, who occupies the dual posi-
ton of coach for the visitors and manager OF
the Philadelphia League team, was with the
Pennsies. as was also Pitcher Gus Weyhing,
of the Phillies. These two worthless were in
terested observers of the game, and at one
time were rather blue at the outlook. but
afterward ventured to smile. After prac-
ticaliy giving the victory to Pennsylvania the
local team jumped in and regaIned the lead,
but the visitors switched pitchers. substitute
ing Dickson for Schoenhut and this change
served to stop Georgetown from scoring more
runs.
1t was game fraught with much interest.
and the spectators were kept in suspense as
to the outcome until the last man was out. II
it had not been for the fatal fifth the locals
would have won in a walk, but as it was the
visitors had to work hard to win in the end.
Dowd pitched a stiff game. and while wild,
was steadily effective. In the fifth inning,
although six runs were made by the Pennsies,
but one scratch hit was tailed off his deliv-
cry. In the eighth inning Dowd weakened
and three hits in succession followed. This
was the only stage when he did let down, but
the slip proved decidedly costly.
Murphy played as pretty a third base as
the most critical could wish. and great stop
in the sixth inning resulted in a double play.
Cotter took care of everything which came
his way at first but both the AIahoneys flelded
below their average. Big mike" got tangled
up on q bunt hit in front of the plate and al
lowed his feet to interfere with his hands.
Both Sullivan and McGrath dropped easy fly
balls. while 'Shorty' Bahen's error was made
at a most unfortunate time and proved very
costly.
Schoenhut pitched up TO the middle of the
sixth inning, when Dickson was substituted.
The latter recently did great work against the
Philadelphia leaguers and this fact seemedto
discourage the Georgetown batsmen. as Ed
Maloney was the only one to make hit of
his curves. Dickson sailed the ball up aud
over the plate, but the locals could not drive
it beyond the reach of the fielders.
For four innings Georgetown held the lead,
lost it in the fifth, regained it in the sixth,
Pennsylvania tied it in the seventh and scored
the winning runs in the eighth Umpire
Belts did good work. his mistakes being few
and equally divided between the two teams as
far as any benefit was derived. The score:
