When the only college teams that
have beaten Georgetown Holy Cross
and University of Pennsylvania-met
yesterday afternoon, on the college
diamond, it was a tougher struggle
than if two Greeks met in a tug-of-
war or any old thing. But the royal
clad youths from Holy Cross asserted
their supremacy on the diamond by
winning in 10-inning contest.
Harvard, Cornell and other college
teams which are not in the first rank
| can occasionally defeat a team like
Holy Cross because the latter lets
them, but when the only other team
that put a black mark against the vic
torious career Of the crack Georgetown
ers of the royal purple are on their best
behavior and the only way Pennsy
could get away with the game would
be by grand larceny.
Billy Dyer was the hero of the game.
Dyer won the game for Holy Cross
by magnificent batting. He didn't get
started until more than half the game
was played, because 1t wasn't neces-
lsary that he should.
Griffin pitched a wonderful game.
To the average spectator it did not APP
Ipear as if Griffin was quite as good
as usual. They were not cognizant of
the fact that Griffin has been in the
college infrmary and was not in con-
dition to pitch. 1t was case Of neces-
To, 81 Of
Holy Cross, who isn't behind any other
college pitcher of the year. twirled a

of rooters, though, the number of
cheerers being only four
| Griffin simply tossed the ball in dur
ing the first inning, yet Pennsylvania
was retired on half a dozen balls. Ram
sey and Collier lifted the ball for easy
flies, and Linnehan threw out Frazier.
O'Reilly opened auspiciously for Holy
Cross by a hot drive over Whites head.
He tarried a moment, watching Fox
fly out to Huston. Shape put up an
out-drop to McTigue, and away it went
like a six-inch she'll O'Reilly scored
and McTigue got three. That ended
| the scoring, Carney fouling to Howell
and Linnehan sending fly to Hayden.

it. Collier forced Frazier at second,
hitting to Linnehan, Dyer taking the
base When Collier went down, Lime
ran made a fearful muff and Ramsey
