The morning times., 1896-03-26

1t can be said of the Gallaudet club that
il possesses as much bulldog tenacity TO
the square inch as can be found in the make
up OF any athletic association in the wide,
wide world.
Tue boys from Kendall Green are asdogged
in defeat as a terrier and though the odds
may pile up mountain high against them
they keep pegging away with a dctermin-
alton and Industry worthy or better success
The 6all1udeis were clearly outclassed
at Georgetown Field yesterday afternoon.
They Were pigmies in the hands of the
brawny boys OF the Rock Creek country and
for eight innings they buffcted about in
rruitleSs endeayor TO register at least once
at home plate.
But try rs they would, il was impossible
for them to get man around the circuit.
The Georgetown pitchers had them at their
mercy and IL by chance a hit was scratched
the succeeding batSmen We're unable TO
push the runner along.
Three times Tracey, the straw haired
varsity twirler, gave them life at first
on bad balls, but with that assistance they
couldn't negotiate further distance ana
We're left.
The rcdeeming feature of their play and
which won them many friends among the
spectators, was their gameness. Toward
the close, with twenty odd runs against
them they worked just as hard. ana dis
played as much snap as If an even con-
test was being waged. They made errors
right along, but not because of the rattles,
but for the reason that errors are 4 matter
Of course with the club.
Their miSplays looked the worse because
OF the contrast with the clock-ike move
ments OF the GeoFgetowns, but it should be
remembered that the youngsters were up
against what is probably the best college
lgC a. in a
the past has lowered the colors ana hushed
the wells OF Yale, Princeton, Harvard,
PennSy and the others, and that promises
TO repeat the triumphs this season whenever
they meet on the diamond.
GEoRGETOwN's SPLENDID RECORD:
For season after season Washingtons
champion amateur ball lclub, and pla ying in
the name and under the patronage OF
great educational institution, it is n OF
strange that the 6eorgeto are immense
Unpopular withlocal admirers, ,amddevotees
OF the national game.
4 5 students, CARRIED temporarily in sweat
eTsaud kniclleTbockeTs, the yhave won many
hard victories on hotly contested fields ana
whenever opportunity is afforded the home
public to show their intcTC 81 and appreCia-
ton they flock to the grounds.
The weather yesterday afternoon was
ideal for outdoor sport, and a very large
owd for the season OF year was in at
tendance, There was much curiosity as to
how the new men would fill the places OF
the veterans of last season, who have
pc sSca from the game and undertaken their
professions in life.
While it was not expected that the young
blood would step in and fill completely
the gaps left 10y the departure of Captain
Mahany, Carmody, McGrath, Sullivan and
Murphy ii WIS hoped by the clubs friends
fa wis
their successors. The playing of the
youngsters yesterday exceeded the antiCi-
pations of everyone and demonstrated TO
the satisfaction OF ali that the Georgetowns
Of SO viii be the same hard hitting, bril-
liant fielding and hard running club as in
former sea sons.
RECEPTION OF THE VETERANS.
But in sizing up the colts the veterans
were not forgotten, and as each one OF them
came TO bat in the first inning they were
heartily cheered. Captain Harley was
given an ovation, as was Mccarthy and
stump Reardon, and when big Mike
Mahoney stepped 10 the plate with his
wagon tongue there was a rolling of APP
plause from grand stand, bleachers and
fence tops, such rs greeted De Wolf Hop
per's Ar. Casey or memorable occasion.
II is said that every small boy i'll George
town treasures Il fond hope that the future
holds in store for him such greatness as is
represented in Nike" their idol, and who
appears 10 them as the biggest man in the
whole world No king has more loving
subjects; uo potentatc more pre- JUDGED par
tiSans.
THE GAME.
The Georgetewns- were uniformed in
their new suits made up OF pretty Conlbl-
nation OF the college Colors-blue and
gray. They looked very natty indeed
and were so clean that the lady spectators
were Mortified when one Of the boys
would slide and come up with coating
Of mud and slime that totally destroyed
the former banG-boX effect.
The grounds had not dried out from the
recent fails OF rain and snow and were
a serious handicap 10 fast going. George
