GEORGETOWN HAD 1t EASY
First Baseball Game on the New
Field at the College.
Murray Hills Bid Not Give the West End
Boys Good Practice-McCreary's Pitching
aFeature-Reardon's Home Run.

The Georgetown University team rolled
the kinks out of its splendid new ball
field yesterday afternoon with a baseball
aggregation styling itself the Murray Hills
of Gotham.
The game was called ont Of mercy to the
visitors at the end OF the fifth inning,
with the score, % to 2, I'm GeoIgetown's
favor.
The college boys played an errorIess
game, and gave an excellent exhibition
of batting and fielding. Otherwise the
game was entirely devoid of interest.
The visitors were a lot of has beens"
from major and minor leagues, and were
captained by our old friend, Jack Farrell
who PLAYED second base for the Washing
tons three years ago, and their playing
did not give the college boys even good
practice.
There was quite a large attendance,
many persons came prepared to see Jack
Cotter, a former favorite playuer of the
college team, who was announced to play
with the visitors, but it seems that his
name and that Of Carter, the first base
man, got mixed in some way, and there
was much disappointment, for which the
college management is not responsible.
McCreary pitched his first game for the
He filled the points well, having good
control of the ball, and displayed quite
variety of curves, which were well handled
by the genial Sullivan, who was unfortu-
nately compelled to drop out OF the game
in the third inning because OF an injury
to his leg from which he has suffere since
the last football game, and which he
wrenched In sliding yesterday.
Mike MaheneyS took his place behind the
bat and distinguished himself by good
work and by inaking star catch OF
high foul fly after run behind the back
stop fence. Il,
His place. ut first was taken by Car
niody, whose place in right field was ac-
ceptalby filled by Reardon. a stocky little
player who will, make himself valuable as
8 substitute, He made the first home run
on the new grounds, bringing in two runs
ahead OF him.
Murphy at third played the bag well, his
throwing being especially fine. He made
the first hit on the new grounds, and
brought in two men.
Harley in left field and Capt. Ed Ma
hany handled everything that came their
way.
The team ie by far the strongest tile
college has ever had both in fielding and
batting and will give the big college teams
it is scheduled to play plenty to do to win
It is hoped the teams may be entered for
u game WlIH tic NtH IOIk led8uG tedtn,
which offers cup to the college team whcih
makes the best aIl-Found showing in a game.
For the Murray'sfittis can be said. Capt.
Farrell tried to get them together, but
they persisted in falling to pieces at the
most unopportune times, CorwiBe gave
the, first four players up, their bases on
balls. He began to be effective in and
after the second inning Farrell played
well at second and Burns at short gave
evidence that he had not forgotten all he
knew. The team made bat three hits off
McCreary. Mr.. Tueder gave general salts
faction as umpire.
A game with I.ehigh College is scheduled
on the college grounds for Tomorrow.
