TOO 50, MUCH FOR GEoRGETOWN
The Tigers Beat Them Out With Seeming
Ease.
1t Wus nm Interesting Game to Watch,
with Hard Hitting and
Clever Fielding.

Last week the Yale base ball team ran
nm against the nine from Georgetown and
left the grounds decidedly the worse for
the meeting. Yesterday the Georgetown
boys ran UP against little nine from
Princeton, calm In the belief that they had
an easier thing than was given to them In
the Yale game. They found the difference
before the game was well advanced. and
Princeton is credited with the game by
score of l. to Z.
The game was played on the Georgetown
College field in the presence OF large
crowd of spectators, many Of them ladies,
who wore the colors of one college or the
other, although the "rooters" for George
town were. of course in the majority: me
playing, but the field presented pretty
spectacle with one side lined with car
riages and equestrians. and the grand stand
full of pretty girls, waving big banners OF
blue and gray or orange and black
1t was not a perfect game by any means,
but it was a thoroughly interesting one to
watch, and If the Jersey boys continue to
ought to be able to put up hard game
with their old rivals from New Haven.
For the first six innings the game was as
close as could be. each side having scored
one in the secord and third innings. 1t
was anybodys game, and the followers OF
Princeton were worried with the thought
of a possible let down. This did not &C.
cur. however. and in the seventh inning
these. with base on balls. and a passed
ball by Sullivan, gave the visitors lead OF
three. Ia the eighth inning two hits were
made by Princeton, and, with the assist
ance of two bases on balls and three err
rors, they added five more to the score.
Princeton played an aggressive game.
sharp and snappy, and their team work
was ,lp to the limit. They were well-nigh
perfect in the field, and Payne Otto, Eas-
ton and Brooks showed I'D in splendid
style. Gunster, although credited with two
errors, played his position In excellent style
and his throwing was of the star order. In
five times at the bat Payne made a triple.
q double and a single and Otto made three
singles Princeton was unlucky in that
her errors were made at time when
Georgetown was punching hits. This re-
suited in four runs for Georgetown in the
eighth, which revived the hopes Of the To-
cal crowd, but not for long. Altman.
Princeton's pitcher was way of yesterday,
and seemed to have lost control OF the
ball badly. Being unable to get the ball
over the plate with regularity he had to
let up on his speed and he gave eight bases
on balls. and let four Georgetown men 60
to first, struck by pitched balls. In the
fifth inning Princeton did some capital
work. Carmody. the first man at bat. made
who came to bat sent long flies out to the
left and right. which were gobbled up sc
quickly that Carmody had no time to get
home. The third man went out to left field
and Georgetown failed to score. Williams
work behind the bat was. first-class, and
refuted the oft-made statement that Prince
ton is weak in catchers.
For Georgetown, big Mike Mahoney play
ed a perfect game at first, and took his
eleven chances like a man. He pitched out
the ninth inning and did well in the box
McGrath and E. Mahoney carried of the
honors for Georgetown, and Dan Mccarthy
led his team with three hard singles.
The complete score of the game was as
