CORNELL MADE ERRORS.
Ithaca Team Defeated by the George
town Nine.

GEORGETOWN and Cornell played an I'M
usually interesting game on the local
campus yesterday afternoon, although the
blue and gray outbatted and outielded
the visitors and won by the score of to
s. For five innings the contest was lop-
sided and it looked like an easy win for
Georgetown, as the latter had scored four
runs, while Cornell had not succeeded in
getting a man over the Plate. Fay had
been pit ching superb ball and the hits
were few and far between. But in the
sixth he went ballooning and before he
was landed on terra firma again and
yanked from the game Cornell had chased
five runs over the home plate, and che
score was tied two runs having been made
in this inning and three in the seventh.
Captain Walsh then decided that Fay
had reached his limit and called upon
Blewett to take up the running and save
the day. The selection of Blewett proved
good one, and no more runs were scored
by the visitors, while the blue and gray
hung I'D two more TALES in the eighth
and won the day by the score of Z to 5.
The hitting of both teams was light,
Georgetown getting but eight hits and
Cornell but six. In fielding the New York
ers were away off, seven misplays creep
ing into their work, while but two, an ex-
| cusable tumble by Moran and a lapse of
mentality by Fay, were the only bad
marks against the local collegians.
Neither side scored in the first inning,
but in the second Georgetown broke the
ice and scored one run. OHara reached
first tumble by Shortstop Harven,
perious then followed with a long fly,
| which Brewster muffed, and O'Hara
scored. In the third inning two more tall
lies were placed to the blue and gray's
| credit. Drill started off with a safe hit
! over third and was sent to second on a
| sacrifice by Connors. Drill then stole third
and came home on a long fly and out to
| center by Moran. Walsh singled, stole
| second and third in quick order and came
| home on Devlin's safe drive into left. In
| the fifth Georgetown secured it's fourth
tally. Moran singled and stole second.
| and on BrewSterS error on WalSh'S hit
| came all the way home.
During these first five innings it had been
| one-two-three for the Cornell, and Fay evil
| IDENTIFY concluded that the cherries We're too
| ripe and not worth the picking. When he
| rounded to and decided the fruit was pal
| atable he found it SO far out of his reach
| that it required Twirler Blewett and long
| stepladder to reach it. After one was out
| Brewster was hit by a pitched ball and
| walked to first, and Lyon was given the
same treatment Robertson then singled
into right scoring Brewster. After Har-
vey had walked, Drake hit into center for
single and Lyon scored.
1t was thought that Fay's lapse was only
temporary and he was allowed to continue
in the seventh. Costello the first man up,
hit a nice single, and Brown walked. Whin-
merry found an inshoot to his liking and
sent it into left by way of third base and
scored two bases on it, scoring Costello
and sent Brown to third. Fay's error
then cropped up on BrewSters grounder
and Brown scored Blewett was then call
ed upon to save the day, and although
Whinnery scored on long fly, it was the
visitors dying effort. In their turn at the
bat in this inning Georgetown secured a
run, tying the score. and in the next in
ming secured the necessary runs to win.
Coach Hugh Jennings has nodded the
Cornell aggregation into quite formid-
able team, having almost all new men to
work with this season, and with little
more experience the New Workers should
give a good account of themselves. Fol-
lowing is the score by innings
