and in which victory hung in the balance

ninth inning, Pcnnsylvania's nine defeated
Georgetown, to l. at Franklin Field, Phil
adelphia, Saturday afternoon.
Owing to the chilly and disagreeable
weather, but handful of people We're
present, but they We're rewarded by seeing
the snappiest contest of the season.
Both Brown and Bach were at their best
and the batting was light on both sides
The visitors gathered but five hits off the
Quaker twirler of which Mccarthy got
three, and the home team secured but six
on the speedy pitcher from Georgetown.
The work of the Georgetown infield was
magnificent, Hofford. in particular, dis
tinSuishing himself by making two running
one-handed stops of hard ground balls,
and each time mailing the runner with a
lightning throw to first.
Houston was very much in evidence for
the Quakers, making two hits and bat
ting in the winning run. He also made
two brilliant running catches of difficult
fly balls to deep center field. either one
of which would have proved disastrous to
the Red and Blue had the ball escaped his
clutches.
