| 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 a 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 spIen-
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-run-
ming and scored on a much needed single
by OHara. When his team mates came
| 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
| 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 subsided 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 te 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 a wild pitch. Connors and
Moran went out on flies, and Walsh struck
out.
An easy grounder fielded 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 a long fly
into deep left. where it was muffed by
Brewster, while O'Hara scored. Bowling
few out to centre, and Fays out retired
the side. ~n~gs
Brewster partially redeemed his muff
of Apperious' fly in the third by driving
out single, after Brown and Whinnery
We're both put out, the former at first
and the latter on three strikes. In Cor

tured too far off the first cushion and
was put out by Devlin on a. quick throw
by Fay. Drill lined out single in the
third. Connors and Meran were then
both put out. Moran drove out a long fly,
of which Lyon made a sensational run
ming catch Captain Walsh proved the
salvation of his team by contributing
single, which scored Drill. Then Walsh
stole second, and, before anyone realized
it, had purloined the third cushion.
O'Hara walked to first, and then Devlin
smashed out a single, scoring Walsh.
O'Hara was cut off at third
Neither team made score or hit in
the fourth, and not runner progressed
farther than first base. Fay struck out
Chase and Brown in the fifth, and Cos
tello's out retired the side.
How to Help the Other Side Get Runs
was the principle which the 1thacans
Illustrated when Georgetown came to
bat. Connors flew out to right field. Mo-
ran secured single and the comedy of
errors began when Walsh drove h1gh
fly right into the hands of Brewster, who
dropped the ball Moran reached second.
Chase tried to catch him mapping at sec
ond, but was unsuccessful, The ball hit
Moran on the thigh and rolled into the
outfield while he galloped home, ana
Walsh, who had been waiting on nrst'
reached third in the meantime. The
Ithacans then braced I'D and retired the
side in quick order
The visitors went TO work IN cieVer
style in the sixth. Brewster and Lyons
were both hit by pitched balls. Robert
son scored the former with a single and
himself went to second when Harvey
walked to first Drake scored Lyon on a
timely single and Robertson was cut off
in a daring slide to the plate. Chase re
tired the side by striking out Apperious
donated a single when he stepped TO tne
bat for Georgetown, but was forced TO
stand on the initial bag while Dowling'
Fay and Drill went out in order
Cornell went one point to the good IN
grandstand did a little roofing Costello
went to first on a hit. and was advanced
when Brown walked. Whinnery made the
only two-bagger of the day and Costello
scored Brewster hit an easy grounder,
which Fay juggled, permitting Brown TO
score. Blewett then went in the box IN
place of Fay. Lyon hit high ny to
Moran. Robertson drove out a long one,
and IL looked as IL 1t would roll into the
gully west OF the grounds and be good
for a home run. Apperious made long
sprint and a sensational catch OF the fy,
which won him plaudits. Whinnery scored
after the fly had been caught. Harvey
then few out to Moran.
The Georgetown rooters began to cheer
but at first their enthusiasm seemed TO
have little effect. Connors and Moran
both went out on outfield flies. Captain
Walsh bunted. and beat the ball TO the
base. He then stole second and also
third by the boldest kind of base running.
O'Hara scored him with single, and the
score was tied. OHaTa stole second Just
before Devlin made the third out of the
inning One two, three was the way the
Ithacans went out in eighth.
When Georgetown came to bat Apperi-
Gus opened up matters with single.
Bowling gained first on an error by Cos
tello. and Apperious scored when Robert
son threw wild over Costello's head. He
was followed across the plate by Dow
ling. Thus Georgetown was two runs to
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 man on first in their half !
of the ninth. The score:
