Notwithstanding the rain and mud the
game of baseball played yesterday after
noon ON Georgetown Field between the
college team ana Syracuse Of the Eastern
League, was an interesting contest
The lea guers won by a score of TO
I'm a kiX-innIng game. They won because
they were better mud players, although
the field and diamond were heavy enough
for both teams to make the game slow
and running unsafe.
Only lair sized audience was in attend
ance, and those who went were amply

played short games OF the season. A

pirnLiful error making. but In yesterdays
contest only one error was charged TO

certainly have been beaten.
COLLEGIANS NEED COACHING.
Georgetown played good team game
| and deserved TO win. What the team
now seems 10 need almost as bad as any
thing else is better coaching and base
running when the bases are occupied.
/ The result OF yesterdays game might have
been different, when, in The last inning,
Maloney hit long fly TO left. which was
caught; if Mccarthy had not gotten too
far from second. too far, indeed, TO get
! back before the BAH was fielded in, and
/ he was an easy out. In all likelihood.
: Harley, who was next man up, would
! have advanced Mccarthy, and possibly
scored him and thus tied the score. and
no one knows what might have come after
| that. Such slips up as these are most
| discoura ging TO team.
Lambert pitched good game for George
! town, giving only ihree bases on bans.
! He was well received by Maloney and
! Flynn, who both pia yed without an error
and threw we'll TO bases when they had
the chance.
Fleming and Lambert and Reardon led
| with the stick, each being credited with
| q three bagger, and the two latter with q
single besides. Mahoney, who plays well
J III any position, paved The initial bag in

Reardon is playing a snappy game and
shows wonderful Improvement in his a II
