At Georgetown Saturday, c. U. met
her first defeat in baseball this year i'm
one of the finest exhibitions OF ball
playing we ever saw. The teams were
evenly matched, though all signs and
conditions pointed TO Georgetown put
ting mp the best game. Her victory
by one score does not at all come up to
their expectations, though il was a
suiIiciency.

Capt. Bigger's all-rOund work, the first
Dase work of Adams and the home run
of c. Chatham, for G. u; the left field

and let us add, sincerely, the absolutely
fair and impartial work of the umpires.
Messrs. Tyrrell and McMicken. We
would be pleased to have them umpire
the return game here.
