procession of goose eggs for Yale and for
Georgetown as well. But Yales process
sion was more compact. They were re
tired in one, two. three order until the
fifth inning was reached. Georgetown
generally managed to send four men to
the plate. but their run getting ability
proved about the same as that of the
wearers of the blue. In their half OF the
second Georgetowns nearest approach to
hit was bunt by Apperious. Yale con-
tributed a couple of errors, but the goose
egg was passed out just the same In
the third Blewett did most of the work
for Georgetown. Nine of his twisters
were complete enigmas for the three Yale
batters who faced him. They all struck
out. Another zero repre- scented George
towns score at the end of the third.
Cook. of Yale, managed to get hit
in the fourth. but little too much eager
ness TO reach second led to his retirement
at that base. Sharpe raped out what
looked like safe hit. Moran sprinted
after it and gathered it in from behind
Moran appeared to be a centre of attrac-
ton for all batted balls, and minute
later he corralled another fly from Wad-
dells bat. Yale 5 one, two, three perform

on this hit o Hara scored. Apperious was
hit by a pitched ball and walked to his
base. Bowling did the same on four
balls. Blewett landed on one of Pattons
curves for single and all would have
been well for Yale even at that stage OF
the game had not the Ellis begun to juggle
the sphere in an atrocious fashion. Cook,
who fielded Blewett's hit, threw it so hard
in the direction of the plate that Hirsh
missed 1t. Apperious scored and so did
bowling, while Blewett pulled up at third.
Moran hit a high one which seemed a
cinch for O'Rourke. who muffed 1t mis-
erably, however, whereat Blewett scored,
and Moran gained second. This ended the
scoring. Connors took n base on balls
and Walsh spoiled an otherwise clean
days record by striking out and retiring
the side. Seven Georgetown runners had
crossed home plate. and the score stood

and the crowd began to look for another
fusillade of hits. Drill did no better than
high fly, which retired him. OHara
made hit, and was put out at third on
double play moment later. Devlin hit an
easy one TO ORourke. The Yale short
stop sent the ball over to Sharpe. and the
husky first baseman in turn shot it to
third, cutting off Hara and sending
Georgetown to the field. Despite the fact
that Sharpe and Waddell both got hits in
the next inning. the result was a goose
egg for Yale. The double play system of
retiring batters was used to good effect
once more in the eighth by Yale. Dow

to score. Georgetown went out nearly as
fast and Yale's half of the ninth was end
ed without score or feature.
