The University of Virginia baseball
team was shut out on Georgetown Field
yesterday afternoon by the doughty ag-
gregation of ball tossers of Georgetown
University by score nj 13 to 0. The
Blue and Grey played an almost perfect
fielding game. The visitors displayed far
greater proficiency in punching their err
rOrs than their hits They only managed
to get four singles from Blewett, who
was on the rubber for Georgetown. Car
ter, of Virginia, made several costly wild
pitches. Matters were made worse by
the miserable support he was given by the
remainder of the Virginia team.
A perfect day and a temperature al
most that of summer was a factor which
helped attract several thousand people to
the game. The grandstand and bleachers
on each side of the field were filled with
crowd that included "A large number of
Virginia followers, who We're sadly disap-
pointed at the lack of opportunity to ex-
ercise their lungs.
Virginia had no show from the start of
the game. Not a single runner got farther
than the third bag. 1t was doubly disap-
pointing, because games between George
town and Virginia are popularity supposed
10 be hard fought battles from start to
finish. Georgetown rooters were bit
dubious yesterday because Devlin was out
of the game. For a breach of discipline
he was temporarily suspended by Coach
Bradley a few days ago. His position
was taken by COnnors, the centrefielder,
and the latters showing was a revelation
TO many of the Georgetown students. Col
den, who played on the team part of last
season, occupied right garden, and Apper-
ious went to centre. Golden accepted three
chances without an error. Moran did yeo-
man service. He scored four times and
made three hits, and was mixed up in two
fast double plays which came at oppor-
tune moments. Blewett's showing at the
delivery end of the battery was superb as
attested by the fact that four hits well
scattered were all the Virginans could
get. For Virginia Woodland at short
stop, Walker, Male, and Stems were the
stars.
A return game will be played with Vir-
ginia at Charlottesville next Saturday
Then on May II the two teams will meet
in this city on neutral ground for the
final game of the series If Virginia
should manage to pull out of the next
contest a winner, the game in this city is
sure to attract an immense crowd. The
attendance yesterday. while large, was
rather disappointment to the manage
ment Apparently the fans were too
much interested in the game between the
Senators and Connie Macks Angels in
Philadelphia to journey to Georgetown
for the purpose of seeing the collegians
play ball
Virginia was first to bat They might
just as well have remained on the bench,
for they We're sent there from the plate
in one-two-three order without scoring
1t was another story however, when
Georgetown came to bat. Every man on
the team took turn with the wagon
tongue, and at the close of the inning
there were four hits and five runs to the
credit of the Blue and Grey. Drill and
Connors walked to first and scored soon
after, aided by errors and wild pitches, to-
gether with timely singles by Moran and
Apperlous. Walsh and Golden got singles
and Moran. Apperiohs, and Golden ambled
over the plate.
Georgetown BANKED the visitors again
in the second. Walker made a single but
was retired at second a minute later on a
corking good double play. Downing's
pop-up retired the side. In Georgetown's
NAH bI lHt second tnere was more good
stick work. Connors singled and scored
when Moran drove a long one to right
The ball rolled under a carriage and was
not fshed out until the batter had
reached third base. wild pitch by Car
ter sent him across the plate.
A couple of passes to the initial bag in
the third gave Virginia supporters ground
for hope that the Blue and Yellow would
score, but the anticipations were not full
nlled. Georgetown also failed to tally in
their half of the third, but managed to
add one score to their total In the fourth,
viii g Virginia was blanked again. In the
hftl the crowd iieenly relished the fast
o II ara. Moran, and Connors retired the
visitors with fast double play. With
the game well within their grasp George
town did not work hard at the bat and
closed the fifth without scoring again
The double plays were faVorite methods
Of putting the opposing players out
Georgetown made another double in the
sixth inning. The Virginians went down
in one-twO-three order in the seventh.
The last half of the sixth saw George
towns score increased by five. Blewett
walked to first. Drill made hit and
stole second and Blewett scored an
error. Drill remained on third while two
men were given bases on balls, thus fore
ing the run. Connors scored on passed |
ball Male recovered the sphere and
threw wild to Carter at the plate Carter

Then Golden, Walsh, and O'Hara went |
out in one-two-three order. This ended the |

was barren of interesting details. The !
