EASY FOR GEORGETOWN
Yale Law School Went Down Be-
fore the Blue and Gray.
MAH0NEY WAS AN ENIGMA
Visitors Only Made One Hit Off the
Big Pitcher and He Made a Dozen
OF Them Fan Wind-Captain Har-
Iey's Pretty Play in the Sixth In
ning-Other Good Plays.

A bette noir is stumbling block, an
aggravaton, Jonah; George Maboney
was bette noir and all those other things
to the bricfIcss barristers from Yale, at
Georgetown field, yesterday afternoon.
The pride OF the West End" had the
young lawyers in the hollow OF his hand.
He made them cut great wide swaths i'll
the spring atmosphere for six innings, and
but for his kindness in giving two OF them
bases on balls, soaking two others in the
diaphrag gm. aud allowing one pleading
looking fellow TO scratch little measly
hit, the 1aleitcs would have lost their base
running acquaintance with bag No. l en-
tireIy.
The necessity for Maboney's presence
i'll the box was apparent in the last half
of the first inning. Lambert, who started
IN 10 pitch, had no control and again the
visitors from Old Eli had u penChant for his
curves and We're lamhastng them pretty
lively.
Yale played better game than they
put up gainst the Columbians the day pre-
vious. and had it notlbeen for the Mahoney
bette noir that swamped them just as they
were beginning to have fun with Lambert,
they might have been able TO have kept
within speaking distance of Georgetown,
or, perhaps, won the game.
In Mahoney the local college team GER
tainly possesses the star pitcher OF the
amateur and collegiate baseball world.
His speed is terrific, his control OF the
bail absolute and he is as ''heady" as a
Cla rkson.
He was handicapped yesterday by young
Maloney, the Georgetown catcher. Maloney
stuck TO his task gamely and supported the
big pitcher admirably considering the can
non shot delivery he had TO handle.
Age and sea Soning will bring Maloney up
10 the highest standard as a ball player.
He possesses all the requisites for worthy
successor to Sullivan. The great catcher
for Georgetown, 90.
HARLEY's S PRETTY PLAY.
Capt. Harley's arm had kink in it at
the commencement of the game, and his
first throw in went wide OF the mark, and
two lawyers scored. But Georgetown had
runs to give away, and as the error cut no
ice in the general result, it was not con-
sidered serious.
In the last half OF the sixth Harley made
the crackerjack play of the game. Smith,
of Yale, drove a hot bounding bali TO left
field, which Dick grabbed with one hand
and without recovering made lightning
return 10 the plate The ball came as
true and speedy as a rifle shot, and
Maioney, making a pretty CATCH touched
out Mederos, who was sliding in from
third.
Holston of the visitors. distinguished
himself in the third inning. by pulling down
a long fly from Mahoney's bat, that had all
the ear marks of home run. For George
town. Mahoney led the hitting, getting a
single, double, and home run out of four
times at bat.
