| Georgetown Closed the Season With
| Victory Over NevI York A. c.
Georgetown, the champion of all college
teams. had little difRSuity yesterday after
noon on Georgetown Field in defeating the
New York Athletic Club by the score of
to /, and but for certain amount of
lstlessness could have easily doubled the
score and then not been half worked out.
The score does not begin to show how
easily the game was won.
To White, Cranston, Downes and Moran
belongs the credit for bringing off the re-
deeming features of the game, which for
Georgetown was errorless. White was in
splendid form, and was effective at all
one free pass, while he struck out six men.
Besides fielding his position well, he land
ed for a single and walked once.
The fielding feature OF the game was
pulled off in the third, when, after Dol!ard
had given Moran an easy chance, Dunno
drove a scorcher to White, whose finger
tip slightly detected the ball, and on
high bound 1t was gathered in with one
hand by Downes, who nailed his man at
McCarthys corner. 1t was a lightning
play, well executed, and earned a pro-
longed round of applause. Cranston also
helped matters along with his clever base
running, once stealing third with the ball
in the pitchers hand. His back-stop work
was at all times of the same nervy, clever
style which has marked his work through
out the season.
The visitors realized that they were UP
against the champions and played hard,
but they lacked team work and were espe-
cially weak at the bat, their six hits after
the first Inning, when three were made,
being well scattered. White had them at
his mercy at all stages and he secured as
many strike-outs as they made hits. This
is the team which was shut out last week
by Yale, IL to 0, and as Georgetown has
beaten Yale three times this season there
is little wonder that they took it easy with
the visitors yesterday Mclaughlin pitched
a fairly good game, but he could not pre-
vent the punching of hits. which, together
with the poor support he had, lost him the
game.
Georgetown took first turn at the bat and
was easily retired. New York opened its
half as if it meant business, and it looked
as If there might be hard work to land the
game, but it proved to be only burst of
speed and they couldn't go the distance.
Powell drove beauty two-bagger over
third, stole and scored his teams lonely
run on Dallard's single over short. Dunno
was an easy out from Moran to Mccarthy.
Lambert beat out his scratch hit, Cowan
famed. and Brodine retired on Moran's
magnificent stop of his grassburner and
splendid throw to Mccarthy. The play
well earned the applause it received. At
ter this inning all was blank to the W ar
ers of the Mercury Foot" and goose eggs
were strung out to the end.
Captain McCarthys men scored twice
and won the game in the third. Cranston
walked, stole second and third, and scored
on passed ball. After muffing Hafford's
foul fly, Lambert was given another chance
to retire the clever third Ibaseman, but he
juggled his hit, and the runner stole and
soon after scored on another passed ball
After Downes' out Mccarthy landed on a
swift straight one foptwo sacks, but was
left standing, as Walsh and Moran were
easy outs. ii ar
1t was in this inning that Downes made
the brilliant play, retiring Dunno at first
after a scorching one hand stop. Dollard's
fly was taken in by Moran. Dunno was
Downes' victim by way of Mccarthy. Lam
grounder to Moran. In the fourth Grams
tons three bagger to, left scored Hindle,
who had beaten out his bunt, which. un-
fortunately, forced Bache, who had landed
for single, White and Hafford were easy
outs. ,-a..--
The last run of the, game was made in
the seventh, when the lucky Cranston was
given a free passage. stole, and scored an
Downes double, which came after 'Hafford
had been retired, Mclaughlin to Bodine.
Mccarthy and Walsh were easy outs.
In the eighth Walsh's quick return to Haf-
ford of Powell's hit to deep left retired
the runner, who tried to stretch a double
into a triple. The hopes of the visitors
revived in their half of the ninth, when
Lambert singled to left, but he was imme-
diately retired on force on Cowan's hit
to Moran. Bodine was momentarily
knocked out when White singed the clever
first baseman's blonde locks. He took his
base, and was advanced by Young, but Nc
Laughlin ended the game by way of a
scratch to White, after Cowan had been
caught while pilfering.
There was fairly large attendance. not
nearly as large, however, as might have
been expected to celebrate the homecoming
Of the champions, who. by winning yester-
day, scored their twenty-first victory and
closed as they opened the season-with
victory.
Each man as he came to bat was given
hearty applause, and undoubtedly every
man was glad he was a member of the
champion college team.
Harry Chamberlain officiated as umpire
