CYCLONES USED THE BATS
Pennsy's Players Could Not Stop
Old GeOrgetOWn's Work.
BLUE AND GRAY ARE VICTORS
On the Bleachers Sat the College Glee
Club, Singing Merrily During the
Game-Our Boys Are Beyond Ques-
ton the Champions This Season.
Opponents OutpIayed.

The Georgetown University base ball
team scored the greatest of its many vic
tories of this season yesterday afternoon,
when it defeated in handsome manner the
strong team from the University of Penn
sylvania, with the score of s to 2.
The afternoon was an ideal one for the
game and the $500 spectators present
thoroughly enjoyed the interesting contest
The grandstand was filled 10 oyerflowing
with our city's prettiest girls, and the pret-
test among those were from the convent,
every one OF whom considers herself George
towns stanchest admirer.
The ladiesthat couldnot get evenstanding
room in the grandstaud were provided with
chairs in front of it. Both bleachers were
filled with real rooters for both teams and
long rows of spectators were strung out on
the field lines and in the background were
several dozen handsome turnouts.
A large delegation OF 'Pennsy'' Alumnae
were on hand with colors of "bue aud red'
and all about wasseen the 'blue nd gray"
On the bleachers off first base was the
College Glee Club, which sang merrily dur
ing the game, led by the splendid tenor of
Andre Seaman.
1t was indeed gala day on Georgetown
field. Even the horses were gay, for at
least three of them made desperate efforts
to make horne runs" doing no other
damage than smashing a wheel or a shaft.
RIVALS ARE STRONG.
The Pennsy team next to Georgetown is
considered the strongest of the big college
teams and yesterdays second victory over
it by Georgetown has no small meaning.
1t simply means that the local team has
far and daheadthechampion college teamaud
has now already demonstrated her right
TO recognition in the makeup of the new
big college base ball league which is
spoken Of.
The local team clearly outplayed its op-
ponents yesterday at every point, in bat
ting, fielding, ard base-running.
Schoenhut ard Reunig, the ''star" bat
terry of Peunsy, officiated yesterday and
received excellent support, indeed at times
when any of the many drives from the
locals bats came within reach, the fielding
was brilliant, but no team could stop
such cyclone of batting as Georgetown
let loose yesterday.
In addition TO the excellent work of the
battery, Goeckel at first hase put up a
''star" game, fielding perfectly. He is
the young man whom Arthur Irwin
wants to sign to play the initial bag for
the Phillies. He is also a great hitter
aud base-runner.
The other visitors whose playing was
noteworthy are Blakely at third, who
fIelded splendidiy; Grey at left, and Con-
trell at second.
Again George Mahoney, big Mike"
added to his already brilliant record as
a pitcher and put up star game, also in
fielding and batting. His delivery was
puzzler to the Pennsys at all times, and
only four times did they hit safely. He is
certainly one of the phenomenal pitchers
of the season. And dear old Sullivan
caught and threw to bases to the queens
taste, besides which he won the pair of
trousers offered by Mertz to the local
player who made the largest number of
hits, being credited with four hits.
GILTEDGE PLAYING.
The whole team played gilt edge, double
seam and copper fastened ball. The men
played snappy, fast ball, especially note
worthy being Harley's brilliant and al
most phenomenal fielding at left. He
covered almost an acre of ground and ac-1
cepted every chance and killed several
hits good for homers by long running
catches. The last ball batted in the ninth
was sailing gayly toward the college steps
when Dickey ran with it, and, leaping high,
cut short its mad flight amid the most enthu-
siastic applause.
McGrath at short fiedad splendidly and
his hitting was opportunc, landing safely
when hits were needed.
DR.. f. Mahoney had number of calls and
very busy day, but cleverly cared for
4.
at third and Carmody at first field"d their
positions well. The former purloined Il
number of bases on little Reunig.
In the fourth inning Smith collided at first
with Carmody's injured football knee and
he retired in favor of Martin Murphy, who
played the game very cleyerly.
Mccarthy and Reardon took good care
of the few chances they had in center and
right field.
When Georgetown won from Pennsy onthe
latter's grounds the score was Z to 6, the
former made ten hits to their opponents
eight, and in to-day's game the home team
made sixteen hits to four hits by the visi-
tors. In both games the same batteries of
ficiated.
1t became evident from the very begin
ming that the locals were out to win in great
style and the results verify the prediction.
They had their good eyes, with them and
hammered good Mr.. Schoenhut' almost
endwise.
FIRST TO THE BAT.
Georgetown went first 10 bat. Harley
was the first man up and he gave fEeci
