inability to hit the ball; unfortunate
were the three prime causes which brought
about Georgelown's defeat yesterday att
ernoon at the hands of Lehgh
The score was to 2, and as the score
indicates it was pretty game, tight
enough at all times 10 be exciting and in
teresting enough always TO hold the at
tention of crowd of spectators, which,
despite the threatening weather, was OF
fair propoIt ions.
Georgetown has dispIa yed her ability to
play great ball and has a fast, snappy
team, and should have had no difficulty
in defeating the brown stockinged visitors
however snug a team they are, but a little
oyerconfidence, bringing about careless
ness, gave the visitors victory they much
hoped for, but little expected to get, and
what's more should not have had
But for Reardons great overthrow n
the second, on which a runner afterward
scored, and on Fleming's failure to watch
the bail. the visitors wouldn't have scored
two runs in that inning and the game
would have heen the Blue ana Grays' by
his two pretty hits.
1t was pitchers battle from the start,
in which Bach came out a fair first He
had ex xcellent control and mixed up his
delivery so that the best hitters on the
Lehighs either famed out or scooped the
BAN into some fielder's hands, and two
hits were their total. Senior, the Lehigh
pitcher, is q Washington boy. and ac-
he, too, moved down the best OF the
local stickers. The Blue and Gray carried
off the day, with three hits, two OF which
were scratches. Each side had three er
rors, but those of the locals were the
more disastrous. In addition to pitching
well, Bach fielded his position perfectly,
with four clever assists. Maloney caught
an errorless game and had ten put-outs,
some of them very difficult foul flies.
Tracy played in left field up To the fifth,
when he gave way to Capt. Mccarthy.
Neither had much to do, however, having
two put-outs between them Smith played
an errorless game at first, with seven
put-outs.
The Lehiths are fast little team and
show the result of good coaching, and are
liable to give all comers good argument
before their return home. Carmen gave
Senior excellent support. Fugitt, another
local boy, scored one of the three runs,
but he had nothing to do in right field.
Neither side scored in the first, but Lee
high set the ball moving in the second with
two runs, which they should nothaye had.
Senior, first man up, struck out E. Grace

took it n nicely, but he fired it tCO low,
and like a rifle shot il went wide of Smith
and before it was recovered Grace was
on third, from whence he scored on Reeds |

Fugitr was safe on Fleming's tumble. |
Carmen scored the second run on an at |
tempted double steal, in which Fugitt |
was nut out between first and second, |
and in the effort to nail Carmen the ball |
went wide of Lamb and Carmen scored. |
Lchigh's third score was made in the |
fifth OH base to Fugitt and clever
steal, scoring on Peck's pretty sacrifice. |
The hopes of Georgetown were rising and |
sinking through seven long innings, hav-
ing been given rest, however, in the
sixth, by the downpour of rain. and hope
was again taken up when the shower
and several times the game seemed
within grasp, when failure to hit or some
foolish base running broke the spell All
the while Bach was pitching mastery

1t was in the eighth that Georgetown

plate, and was safe on Grace's error. and
