4 GEORGETOWN VICTORY
Sens of Old Eli Again Go Down in
Defeat.
with Odds Against Them the Local
Team Makes Another Lively Finish
in the Second and Is Succeeded
by BIewett - Harvard Saturday.

The sons of Old Eli played their sec
ond game with the Georgetown club yes
terday afternoon. Their first exhibition
here resulted in ignominious defeat. With
envy ranking in their bosoms they came
back yesterday to seek revenge. The visi-
tors are not as formidable upon the dia-
mond as they are upon the gridiron, which
is accounted for, possibly, by the fact
that the latter depends solely upon mus
Gle, while the former is characterized ty
brains and skill. They are, however, an
industrious and hustling set OF youngsters
and may yet achieve baseball fame
The game of yesterday was lacking in
the boisterous enthusiasm that character
lied the games with Princeton. Yet il was
full OF interest aud the large crowd pres
ent was reasonably hilarious. The game
put up by Yale was decided improve
ment over the former one, both at the
bat and on the field, and up to the sew
enth- inning 1t was clearly Yaleis game.
But the boys of the blue and grey made
another Garrison finish, and won Out by
the score of to >. ---r-.I
White started in to do the pitching for
the locals and proved to be easy His
control was too good as he put them
right over the plate and they were swatted
out into the field and over the cind er-
path. Five hits were made off his deliy-
cry in an inning and a half, when
Blewett was substituted. The batting of
the teams was pretty evenly divided,
Brown and Quinby for the visitors, and
Moran for the locals, making home runs.
Inc visitors began scoring in the second
inning. Sullivan singled and Brown lifted
one into the air that rolled over the cinder
Path fer homer. In the third inning
Quinby, the first man up, went against
one to his fancy and sent it over the bank
for their second homer. Burnwell singled,
stole second, and crossed the plate on
Camps single, Camp scoring on Guernsey's
single. This ended the run-getting so far
as Yale was concerned
The local varsity boys scored one in the
second on an error by Camp who made
bad overthrow to first base, allowing
cHara to come all the way around In
the third inning they scored another on
Moran's home run. Moran scored his sec
ond run in the fifth, the game then stand
ing to in favor of Yale. No more runs
were made until the seventh inning, when
1t locked like anybody's game. The sons
of Old Eli were retired in their half of
that inning without scoring, and the locals
went to bat with Smith up, who got first
base on close decision. Burbank went
out on fly to Lyon, Moran went out on a
my 10 bainWeli, ana DoWneS singled.
Welsh singled, scoring Smith. The side
was then retired by a beautiful double
play, Robinson to Sullivan to Sharpe.
This was encouraging, and after the Wis
itors had been retired in their half of the
eighth, Bradley's students took up the
work where they had left of in the sew
enth, and on hits by Cranston, Deylln and
Burbank, accumulated two runs, and the
game was won, as the visitors failed to
score in the ninth
The usual scene of rejoicing followed
and everybody felt especially good as it
was hard game to win. Georgetown's
next game will be with the Harvard ath-
letes. on Saturday. The score:
