mike" lIAHONEY CAUGHT
Capt. McCarthy's Great Catch in
the Leaguers, But Team work
Was Lacking and the Profess
siOnaIS Gained.

| The crippled colIegians from across the
| creek gave the big leagucrs a warm argu-
ment yesterday. The game was 'scrappy''
Gliding Temple Cup contest between the
| Spiders and Orioles.
| The Varsity boys fought for every inch
| of ground, ana beset Umpire Heydler at
| times like veterans in the art Of kicking
| To the regular fans their pugnacity was
| refreshing and enjoyable, ana gave basis
| for the belief that when they meet Yale,
Princeton, and 'Pennsy'' they viii talk
| EN- out of the game il they fail otherwise
| Coach Kelly, of the Baltinores, must have
Injected whole lot of ginger into the
| youngsters, as it boiled out OF them yester'
day upon the slightest pTovocation on part
ofthe umpireor eirplofessonaloppon
owing TO the accident to Dawson, Ma
loney's split finger and McCarthy's lame
ness, the team was net at its best, though
the substitutes for the above trio per
formed their parts well
The re-entree, for this game only, OF
George Mahoney siren gthened the students,
of course, as the presence OF Big Mike
alone gives them nerve and determination
Mike was not in the pink OF form, ow
ing TO lack of regular practice, but at THAT
lie frequently shovel the old-time brilliancy
and dasn that earned him the proud reputa
ton OF the best all-ro ound college bail
player in the country. Though his hands
We're not hardened To the task, he caught
the entire game, and barring single bad
throw to second, his work was perfect
Mahoney was given hearty applause when
he walked on the field, and that the
Georgetown folk retain confidence In his
ability was evidenced whenever he came
to bat, aud the root ers would imEurJune
him to ''iine her out just like you Uster."
1t was not his goodbye" day, however,
punky little hit toward third, which lie
beat out, and single to left being his
achievements with the stick. The hit to
left. though, was fun OF steam and ripped
the grass like d buIl-tongue plow.
Previous to the game Capt. Mccarthy
thought he would lie unable to play, but
after warming upin practice he attempted
TO fill his position. But the exertion was
too much, and in the fifth inning he gave
his glove to Tracey. Despite his laneness
Mccarthy, while in left, played brilliantly.
His one-hand la ckw ward catch of DeNIontre-
yille's hard drive in the fourth was far
and above the greatest fielding feat ure OF
the contest. Such catch is only seen at
long intervals on ban ground.
Ci8ncey, who has hair 20 spare in great
big chunks, pitched the first five innings
andtnen retired in favor OF Bach, TeutOnic
lad with white head-covering, an arm
like a blacksmith, and whose name is
pronounced like the beverage very popular
with the thirsty people just at this time.
Clancy was liberal with bases on balls,
but with one or two exceptions he kept
the Senators from getting continuously
familiar with his curves. Bach was also
troublesome to the big leaguers and kept
them on their toes all the time.
Manager Schmelz gave quartet OF his
twirlers exercise, Mercer, McJames, Ashe,
and Norton facing the collegians in the
order named. McJames had trouble in
locating the plate. -Four wild pitches are
recorded against him in the two innings
he essayed the discontinue of the oppos
tiol.
The Varsity, with their usual habit,
pounded the leather at a lively clip, and
neither of the Senatorial twirlers escaped
without several scratches.
Lush had a lame leg, the result Of
tangiIng up with a base strap in Tuesdays
game, aud III the fourth retired, and Abbey
covered right field. McGuire caught four
innings, and Farrell finished. DeMontre-
vile was succeeded by Wrlgley in the first
half of the ninth.
Reilly was in run getting humor ana
accepted five chances very neatly at the
third corner. Charley also landed on the
5 Spaulding tor a clear three-bagger in the
third.
The wind tempered itself to the oc-
casion, and the audience enjoyed the
game without suffering the discomfort Of
Tuesday. The crowd was almost as
large as that which witnessed the initial
contest between the clubs Monday, and
the Georgetown contingent. if possible,
were more partisan and demonstrative
than on the first day. They rooted hard
and long, and brought to their aid bugles,
bassOons and other contrivances calcl-
lated to disrupt the hearing and jar the
nerves
President Nick Young couldn't hold
out any longer and hied himself to the
grand sta nd, where he occupied an
orchestra seat and gazed attentiyely
upon the performance in the field.
Father McTammaDy. treasurer of the
university, was also distinguished viSi-
tor. He selected a location back of the
Georgetown players bench, but was ?Crced
to shift al an early stage owing to pen
chant foul balls had of hunting him up
and bombartIing his anatomy. The good
gentleman stood couple of shots, and
chen esteeming discretion the better part #
valor, moved camp and sequestered him
self behind the big wire screen
The Leaguers took the lead in the first
inning and were never headed. The Var
sity made a run IN the fourth on a single
by Fleming. two Will bitches by McTamos
