GEORGE TOWNS DEFEAT
"Old Pennsy" Was in Splendid
Form and Won HandiIy.
D0WD'S PITCHING A FEATURE
Poor support ut BAT and in Field Did
Not Discourage the YOungster-
Visitors Brilliant Fielding and
Sharp Hitting Furnished All the
Interest There Was in the Game.

There was quite contrast between the
game Georgetown University put up yes
terday against the University of Penn
syIvania and the one she played against
Yale the day before. Although the latter
game was lost To the locals they put up
q fast, snappy, gingery game which en-
couraged their admirers to hope for al
least a good showing against 'Pennsy."
The game which the blue and gray
of Georgetown lost to the red and blue
of Pennsylvania yesterday by the score
of u to was slow, lifeless and ragged.
Lack of team work and poor support of
Dowd at the bat and in the field tell the
story of Georgetown poor showing and
defeat, the worst the team has suffered
this season. The team is certainly able
to play better ball and no one can ac-
count for the slump yesterday.
Against most Overwhelming odds young
Dowd pitched splendid game and his
control under the circumstances was
wonderful, He held his own to the last.
If every man had worked half as hard
as did the earnest little twirler the re-
suit might have been reversed. 1t is
many of these might have resulted in
outs if there had been any ginger in the
field behind him. But two men were
given passes by him, while Brown of
the visitors allowed four to walk Each
struck out eight men. Maloney had an
off-day all around, and Downes. Moran
and Haford missed easy chances. Haf-
ford had four stolen bases and Maloney
two, and these with Hafrord's two bagger
and Dowd's pitching were the features
of the locals game. Hafford scored the
only runs made for the locals.
Pennsy IS undoubtedly a strong team
all around. Ii played an errorless game
and the individual and team work pro-
vided the interesting portion of the con-
test. Brown had such excellent support
that only five hits were made off his de-
livery. Cheyner's work at first was per-
feet, and his thirteen putouts were clean
and clever The inifeld was like a stone
wall and nothing that could be touched
or handled was overlooked by Cheyner
Jackson, Wilhelm. and Robinson. Casey
was robbed Of a three-bagger in the sew
enth by wonderful running catch by
Ritchie. AS in the Yale game, two home
runs were made by the visitors, Frazier
and Wilhelm each having one
Mr.. Barclay, of the Catholic University,
umpired a very satisfactory game
Pennsy went first to bat and after Hus-
tons foul fly was taken in handily by Ma
loney, Frazier ripped a screamer off his
bat for four bases Robinson walked but
was left on second on Jackson and
Ritchie's outs at first. Georgetown tied
this in their half. Hafford walked and
stole. Downes famed. Maloney was an
easy out from Wilhelm to Cheyner.
Wash's single scored Hafford. Mccarthy
hit safely, but was left with Walsh on
Morgan's fiy-out to Frazier The last and
only other time Georgetown scored was in
the fifth. Dowd singled, but died al sec
ond while attempting TO steal Hafford
waited and walked, and stole, and stole
again, and scored on a wild pitch.
Downes famed, Maloney walked, and
stole, but was left standing on Walsh s
out from Brown TO first.
Pennsy scored once in the second.
Huston was an easy out at first. Ma
loney missed FraZier's third strike and
on ii the latter reached third and scored
on felder's choice of Robinson's tap to
the infield. Jackson and Ritchie were
easy outs.
The fourth and fifth yielded five and
four runs respectively, on timely hits on
the one side and glaring errors on the
other.
In the seventh Georgetown settled down
and displayed some of the old style play
ing, hut it was too late. except to keep
the score down. The visitors closing
run was made in the ninth. Wilhelm sin
gled over second, stole and scored on a
passed ball. Cheyner and Brown struck
out and Swartz was left standing after
making a two bagger as Huston was an
easy OUT from Hughes to Casey. The
