LEHIGH SUFFERS DEFEAT.
Georgetown College Scores Its
Fourth Successive Victory.

Old Boreas is evidently not much Of
lover of college baseball or he would
not have blown his frosty breath across
Georgetown field yesterday afternoon
with the regularity and intensity with
which he did when the blue and gray
OF old Georgetown faced the brown and
white of Lehigh.
Weather conditions favorable or not
ii turned out to be one of the best played
games these teams have ever put
up and resulted in favor of Georgetown
by the score of to ].
1t was a pitchers battle in which
Bache came out well on top. the visitors
having touched him twice while Geore-
town landed safely and with good results
a dozen times. Bache's bases on balls,
especially in the seventh inning came
near losing him his own game but for
some sharp fielding on his side.
But in the next turn on the rubber
he more than redeemed himself by
striking out the first two men up on
seven balls pitched. The local boys
seemed for the most part unable to solve
Whites puzzling mixture of drops and
curves and frightful speed Maloney again
played a star game and his remarkable
throwing TO second cutting off at least
three possible runs was as in the La
fayettc game Il great feature With his
/ little handy stick he was also in the
front ranks and his long clean drive for
three bags almost to the big gray build
ing in the eighth inning helped his team
several removes from a possible defeat
as up to that time the score stood 2 to l.
Moran again handled everything that
came his way and Fleming and Casey
took care of the few things pushed to-
ward them. The visitors battery White
and Carmen, and first baseman j. Grace
and little Pomeroy, who covered third.
put up almost all there was of the game
for their side.
Georgetown started the ball rolling by
scoring twice IN the opening on II base
balls 10 Hofford who stole and scored on
MccarthyS tap over second, Moran in
| the meantime having also been granted
a pass by White. lie scored on Malo-
! ney's pretty single and that ended the
| score getting for Georgetown until the
! eighth when two more were added.
Lehigh scored her lonely run In the
| fifth after two were out on James s.drive
which was badly handled. Hesstole and
! scored on an error of Downes of Reed S
] single. Reese was the second man out
| on Bache's clean handling of a grounder
tagging the runner on his way to Casey's
corner. Farnham was the third easy out
| But for the error noted Lehgh would
! have had a row of nine goose eggs,
/ enough for each man to have one to pick
! with on Easter Day.
The seventh came near being heart
! breaker for Georgetown, with the score
/ 2 TO l against Lehigh, J. Grace the first
/ man up, pasted a screamer over third
J James was given a walk and White ditto
/ Reese struck out after having three balls
called, on his third strike Craze thinking
/ il was a fourth ball, and a force, loped

/ In the meantime James made break for

! by Maloney 10 Casey the runner was
! caught between bases by Casey and
/ Fleming and so the home team crawled
/ out of a mighty small hole and "A possible
defeat Ii was stupid base running for
/ the visitors and worse coaching.
The victory was clinched in the eighth.
Moran waited and walked and was sacri-
! feed to second by Walsh and scored on
! Maloney's clean three-bagger to the big
