| Hugh Jennings red-stockinged warriors
| from Cornell proved themselves inferior
| to the Georgetown University balltossers
| yesterday afternoon. The Ithacans were
defeated on Georgetown Field by score
of to 5. The principal feature of the
| game was the manner in which the Blue
| and Grey was helped along to victory by
costly errors on the part of the Ithacans.
Seven black marks made dark showing
| for the visitors error column and nearly
| everyone was in part responsible for
| Georgetown's runs.
Fay was on the rubber for Georgetown
and for the first five innings he did splen-
| did work, allowing the Ithacans but two
| singles. After that the representatives
| of the red and white began to push out
| an occasional timely hit. and, at the end
! of their half of the seventh were one run
| to the good.
Blewett replaced Fay. in the middle of
| the seventh inning and put a decided
crimp in Cornells run-getting ability. Fay
| had pitched good ball up to this point and
six of the Cornell batters had gone to the
| bench after vainly having swiped the air.
In Georgetown's half of the seventh
| inning, Walsh did some daring base-TIn-
| ming and scored on much needed single
| by OHara. When his team mates came
| to bat in the following inning. two more
runs gave the Blue and Grey total of Z.
and the game closed with the score at that
| figure.
The day was ideal for baseball and a
large crowd witnessed the game. The
| Georgetown rooters displayed little en-
| thusiasm until Cornell tied the score.
Then little lively cheering was INDUCED
| in After Georgetown was safe once more
| the enthusiasm again subsidized and not
even the college yell was heard when the
game closed.
Cornell went first to the plate Fay
started off by striking out Brewster.
Lyon secured a hit but failed to get
| further than second. The side was re-
| tired by Robertson and Harvey going out.
Georgetown Jared worse than the visitors
| in their half of the first They did not
| get hit Drill walked to first and got
! around as far as the third corner Of the
diamond on wild pitch. Connors and
Moran went out on flies, and Walsh struck
| out.
An easy grounder fieded to first and two
| infield flies easily gathered in was the fate
OF Drake, Chase, and Costello, when Cor
| nell came to bat. Georgetown scored their
first run in this inning. An error by Har
vey permitted O'Hara to, gain the initial
bag. Devlin sacrificed, advancing o'Hara
to second. Apperious drove long fly
! into deep left, where II was muffed by
Bre wster. while O'Hara scored. bowling
flew out to centre, and Fay.s out retired

Brewster partially redeemed his muff

out single, after Brown and Whinnery

was put out by Devlin on a, quick throw

third Connors and Moran were then
| both put out. Moran drove out a long fly.

salvation of his team by contributing
single which scored Drill. Then Walsh

smashed out a single, scoring Walsh

Neither team made a score or hit in

The Georgetown rooters began to cheer

OHara scored him with a single, and the
score was tied. O'Hara stole second Just

Gus opened up matters with a single.

was followed across the plate by Dow

the good and so the game closed. After
that the batters were retired as fast as
they went to the plate. Cornell was un-
able to place a man on first in their half
of the ninth. The score:
