The boys in blue and gray played the
game as if the blue OF Yale, the crimson

Princeton was being flaun ted i'll their
faces and they utterly annihilated the

In previous years Georgetown has had
a great batting tean--it seems now that
the batting strength of the past has been
re-enforced by fielding ability clean-cut
as q gem.
1t would be hardly philosophical to size
up the e-local Varsity team on their show
ing against the oIiole collegians-the OPP
position was very yellow that old gold
would only get second money in contest
but the same snap and gct-up-and-get that
Georgetown displayed yesterday wouldhave
won against any college club, no matter
where from.
SO solicitous was Coach Kelly over the
first trial OF his proteges that he pro-
crastinated in leaving for Macon, Ga. TO
jsin the Baltimore club, and remained until
the last minute, that he might watch the
contest and note the result of his tutelage.
He was gratificd beyond all expectation
and when, in the fifth inning, he was
forced to leave in order to catch the
south-bound train, he was given an ova-

was out of harness he was lin the game

side lines coached the youngsters TO every
possible advantage. Mahoncy has been
giving his special attention to the pitchers

knows his business the clean work of
Walsh, Bach and Clancy. and Catcher
Maloney as shown in the score, is eloquent
witness.
The wind was right out of cold storage
and in full sweep across the plaza from the
university when play was called at
O. clock by Umpire Green. The audience
was large, and many ladies occupied seats
in the grand stand.

the Johns. Three runs were harvested in
