LAFAYETTE WON,
A Pretty Contest on the Columbia
Field

The Catholic University base ball team
was defeated by Lafayette College yester-
day at Columbia Field, 5 to- 4, In the pret-
test college game that has been played
here this season. 1t was rather in the
nature of pitchers Battle between Nc
Tighe of the local team and Jones of the
visitors. The former, struck out twelve
men. but gave three bases on balls and hit
a man. while the latter struck out ten and
hit two men. Seven hits were made off
McTighe and eight off Jones.
There was but a small attendance and
ton. The game began at 4:12, and after
three innings McTighe settled down and
allowed the visitors to score but twice.
The runs made by the visitors in the first
and third were secured by hard hitting
and fine base running; Supplemented by
one or two slight misplays on the part of
the home team.
The local boys showed decided improve
ment In their play and should make a.
strong bid for a high place In the local col
lege race.

days before the unfortunate player will
fully recover. The thgAe innings that Nc
James was in the bdk resulted in goose
eggs for the college boys.
In the fourth inning the elongated Swain
ambled into the pitchers position. amid
the humorous. remarks of the crowd. but
his clever work quickly demonstrated that
MS figure was no hanAdeapIto his playing

result of McCarthyss nice single, Rear

head and an error by LUSH in right field.
These two runs were the sum of George
towns scoring In the game
Pitcher Ashe went on the rubber in the
seventh inning and held the collegians
down to one hit during the three innings
he was serving I'D his menu of puzzling
curves and drops.
The Georgetown captain put only two
men in tn. pitchers position during the
nine innings, but their work was of such
quality that the highest praise should be
given them. Walsh was the first man up
and he continued on the rubber for six
innings with the result that but seven
hits went against his record. Several of
the onlookers charged that the Senators
were not half trying. but this is unjust to
walsh. A club may become careless in
fielding. but in batting never-the players
take too much delight In smashing the
ball II 1t can be done.
In the seventh inning Clancy faced the
professionals but by this time they had
become warmed up and as result two
runs came quickly over the rubber. a lit
tie wildness contributing to this result
old Reliable Mcclure led at the bat for
the WaShingtOnS. registering three Sipplas
while Lush followed with a double and
single and Cartwright with two singles.
Mccarthy led the Georgetown boys with
TWO singles. but Reardon's triple created
more enthusiasm than a dozen singles. as
1t came at a time when a runner was on
first and the first run Of the game was
Tailed.
Johnny Heydler handled the Indicator

usual bluff of kicking on the slightest

send O team for the four-mile event. La
fayette will send two one-mile relay teams.

team. The last to make q double entry is
Georgetown, who will place four mile rum
ners in the field in the four-mile event.
Theodore McGirr. the ten-mile champion. is
at Georgetown. He Is a fast miller and
states that three others can be picked who
can do close to minutes 40 seconds. With
such an average team the Georgetown boys
should make an interesting fight for the
race.
