LAFAYETTE LOST The GAME
Georgetown 0utbatted the Visitors
Nearly Two to One.
waIsh's Superb Pitching e-Jeam
Was Badly Crippled, But Played
an Almost Errorless Game.

There viii not be many better played
ami certainly no more houy contested
games on Georgetown Field this season
than the one OF yesterday, in which the
Georgetown Varsity defeated La1ayette
College, the score standing to A. The
score last year over the same team was
6Uo4 T. 1t was pitchers battle, in which
the great NeyinS came out second best TO
Walsh, of the blue and gray" Tie latter
from the very first bali pitched, seemed
ssto have his arm, ;" and he held ii through
out the full nine innings To hold the
great hitting team OF Lafayette down 10
seven hits, most of them scratches, and
striking out five OF them, and only giving
two masses to first, is Gel tainly record
TO be proud OF.
Georgetown negotiated for twelve hits
and it. ike Lafayette, is charged WIFI only
one error.
The victory of Georgetown is all the
more a creditable one on account OF the
crippled condition of the team. Dawson
is still out OF the game, and Capt Nc
Carthy is suffering from sprained leg ana
was on the side lines eager every mnuse
20 get into the game, and Maloney, the
plucky little catcher, took in Walsh's hot
shot with a very badly split right hand.
Maloney led the batting with three pretty
hits, two OF them long drives Tor three
bags, and he also made three or The
seven runs. Walsh, in addition to his
fielding and pitching, assisted IN winning
the game with a clean two-bagger ana a
single, and a clever sacrifice.
Big Mike Mahoney, who now has the
local boys in hand, rendered valuable
services in coaching his players, and he
and Reardon, who was captain yesterday,
had the men well in hand, and fast, ,Snappy
live ball was the result.
Georgetown took first turn at the bat,
and Nevins generously gave Kelly, nrst
man up, his base on balls, and he stole
second, and almost Immediately after
scored on Flening's hit over second. Rear
don fouled out, and on Lambs pretty
drive to right for two stations, Fleming
scored, Smith and Mcintyre were easy
outs. These two runs promptly put up
the blue and gray stock, and the old war
horses on the stand and in the side lines
scented victory for 'our side" and they
scented well, as already told.
Reese. the first up for Lafayette, was an
easy out from Fleming to Tracy, and then
Waltridge landed the second ball pitched
TO the road for three bases and scored on
Draws hit to left. BARCLAY str uck out and
Signan landed safely, but Nevins was out
on McIntyre's pick up and throw to Tracy. !
Score, TO i.
The second inning was begun with hope |
and confidence, and two scores were added |
on Maloney's single past Walbridge and /
his steal and then to third on Walsh's |
sacrifice. Kelley was given pass and he /
and Maloney scored on Flemlng's single /
and Reardon's scratch past first
! Lauer put hot one near Walsh, which /
was well fielded, but in his anxiety to 1
complete the play the gallant pitch ar
threw wild to Tracy, and ere the ball
was recovered Lauer was on third, from
whence he scored on Jones long ny and
out to Smith. Score, 4 to 2.
Neither side scored in the third and
fourth innings and only six men side
faced the respective pitchers.
The fifth gave Georgetown one more ON !
fIeming's pretty bunt, about six inches in
front of the plate, and Reardon's single
and Smiths out, from Sigman to Lauer
scored Fleming. In the anne inning |
Iaravette came within an ace OF tying
the score, and that after Jones and Reese
had famed out in order. Walbridge regis
tered his second three-bagger over Lambs
head and scored on MaIoney's passed ball.
Barclay hit safely over Reardun's head and
scored on Bray pretty linerto deep center.
Score, to 4.
After this inning Lafayette failed to
pet man farther around than third, while
put in two scores more just
for good measure. one each in the sixth
Ind eighth innings
The one in the sixth was made ny Ma
Ionev ON his terrific hit to deep center for
three bags, scoring on Walsh's second
bit over first.
The seventh and ninth were blanks for
