HARVARD ALSO FALLS
Before GEORGETOWN
An Exciting Victory for the
Blue and Gray.
The Visitors Beaten by the Close
Score of 6 to 5.
Eddie Bach the Hero of the Game
The Tide Turned In the Sew
enth Inning.

The blue and gray of Georgetown still
waves triumphant in an unbroken series
of victories. Yale, Princeton, and Penn
sylvania had fallen victims to her Prov
ess, and yesterday Harvard was trampled
in the dust in the most exciting baseball
game ever witnessed on the Georgetown
Field. ~"
Every minute of the contest was excit-
ing. Every man on both sides howled
himself hcarse trying to encourage his
own The most trying suspense was in
Harvard's half of the ninth, when three
men were on the bases and Sears stood in
the batter's box, with two men out hit
meant the game, and everyone was silent
Sears struck out.
Quiet. unassuming Eddie Bach was the
hero of the hour. He struck out five men,
allowed one base Oh balls. and eleven hits.
Fitz gave eleven bases on balls and struck
out six. He allowed only seven hits. Bach
had easily the best of ii, and his home run
in the seventh inning, with two men on
Eases, after a whzzing drive to centre,
set the mob half mad with delight.
Harvard did not have as much confidence
in her team as might be expected after its
magnificent showing against Virginia. The
Georgetown men had hard time getting
bets, but finally closed few at such odds
as to j and to 3. After Georgetown
commenced to give the odds considerable
money went up, there being one bet of
$500 TO 5000 and another of 500 to $50.
The prettiest play of the day was stop
by Fleming. He ran all the way over to
second base and picked up a scorcher with
his right hand. Immediately afterward tn !,
wonderful third baseman took one in the
same place. and he and Lobster" Moran
executed as pretty double play as was
ever seen.
"Bonny' Hafford had an off day, and
threw the ball all over the lot. but the
popular youngster would always manage
to square himself with the crowd by a
lightning stop or a cracking single or one
of his four bases on balls. Cranston did
some stage business and got three errors
to his credit. But he caught fine game
under the circumstances. Ed Kenna's two
singles helped Georgetown very much.
For Harvard, Dibblee, Haughton, and
Fincke deserve credit for their batting
and Goodrich, Fincke. and Fitz for their
fielding. Loughlin was off in his throwing
and duplicated Hafford's exhibition. Dib-
blee made three fine catches, but had to re-
tire from the game because of bad knee.
Reid worked well.

Flushed with the prestige of recent vic
tories. the gentlemen of culture and beans
wore confident air that was exasperating
TO Washington rooters. They are an ar
tistic combination Of ball artists and their
long and successful work together has
made them almost inyincible. The unmer-
eitul drubbing they gave the Senators yes
terday was evidence of their unfailing
progess. Their batting was terrific and
their fielding without an error. Willis
gave an exhibition Of pitching that
was pleasure 10 see, and but three measly
hits were made off his delivery. The Sen
ators we're lamentsbly weak at the bat
and lacked vim and yigor in their play.
The game was never in doubt from the
start Mercer pitched e good game until
he saw that the team was doomed TO de-
ieat, when he let up on his speedy twisters
in order TO save his arm.
The game by detail would only provoke
unpleasant memories, which, under the
narrowing circumstances, should be avoid
ed. The Beaneaters scored their first run
In the second inning. In the fourth they
ran three men home on hits by Tenney
Duffy, Collins. and Lowe: they scored two
more in the sixth, and in the eighth IL was
regular merry go-round of hitting and
running. When the last man was out in
that inning and the dust settled il was
found that they had added nine additional
iuns TO their tally. In the ninth they add
ed two more, the result simply of a little
more exercise.
The Senator'S only run was made in the
seventh inning, and WIS not the result of
hard and timely batting, bu; occasIoned by
q balk-the only one made in the game
by Wills, which brought Slagle in. who
was on third base
The only sensational play of the day that
inspired general applause was made by
Collins, who reached over into the private
box back of the foul line and caught a

There were one or two questionable de-
eisions upon base plays given against the
Senators, but as they cut no figure in the
general result,no serious protest was made

batting honors. as they had one each to
their credit. Five errors are charged to
the Washingtons while the Bostons PLAYED
