! the Visitors From Being Shut Out
| BY dint of lusty stick work in the open
ing innings Georgetown yesterday after
noon administered defeat to the Univer-
| sity of Pennsylvania, on Georgetown
| Field. by score of to 2. home run
by Moran, two pretty triples by Captain
Walsh, and two singles was the
extent of the damage inflicted during the
run getting upon the benders of Leary,
who was on the rubber for the Quakers.
Three runs were scored by Georgetown
in the first and as many in the second in
ming After that the contest was closely
fought and 1t looked like a shutout for
'Pennsy." A plucky rally and punching
of hits in the eighth Melted them two
runs however, and saved them from a
whitewash
The game was cleanly played and
Georgetown won purely through superior
all-around work The Blue and Grey
batsmen did better work and the feeders
played an errorless game. Morans home
run in the first brought in two scores and
the masterfui way Captain Walsh punch
ed three-baggers brought delight to the
hearts of Georgetown rooters.
Blewett was in the box for Georgetown
and held the Quakers down to seven hits.
His support was of the gilt-edged varie-
ty.
Pennsylvania was handicapped by the
fact that several of the best players were
out of the game on account of faculty
prohibition and other reasons.
The Quakers were first to bat. Collier.
White. and Gawthrope made the outs,
HI
a result of the presentation of that base
by Blewett. Drill opened up for the Blue
and Grey by reaching the initial bag on
grounder, which Wainsborro fumbled
miserably. Connors fouled out, and then
Moran came to the plate. He picked out
a nice one from Leary, and drove it into
the gully back of the centre fielder, and
before the ball was anywhere near recov-
cred he had made complete circuit of the
bases. driving Drill in ahead of him.
Walsh drove out a beautiful triple, and
was safely ensconced on third when the
ball came back to the infield. O'Hara did
not lose any time in cracking out single,
scoring Walsh. Devlin drove out another
single, and gained second base on an err

the hit. Apperious and Bowling then
quickly retired the side by flying out to
Wainsborro and Brown. respectively.
Newman. for Pennsylvania made bril-
liant opening of the second by driving
out a three-hagger. When he pulled up
at the third cushion however, he was de-
clared out by Umpire Belts, because he
had failed to touch second base. Wains-
borro reached first on four balls, but was
retired in an attempt to purloin second.
Brown made the third out on long fly,
which fell into Walshs hands.
Bewett struck out when Georgetown
went to bat, but the bad beginning was
a.oned for when Drill got his base on
balls and Connors followed suit Moran
still had little cunning left in his bat.
and scored Drill, who had made a dar-
ing steal of second. and was advanced to
third On passed ball Connors reached
third on Morans hit and scored when
Walsh made his second triple, Moran
closely following Connors in. O'Hara and
Deviin closed the inning.
The Quakers secured but single hit in
the third. and that did them littin good,
without scoring. An easy grounder field
cd to first, foul fly to Bennett and a
long drive which lodged in Gawthrope's
capacious nit, were the respective fates
of Apperious. Bowling. and Blewett in
Georgtown's half of the third.
In the following inning the Quakers got
a solitary hit, but it failed TO Increase
their score Then Drill, the rotund re-
ceiving end of the Georgetown battery.
smashed out a single, but was forced TO
remain solidly anchored at first while
Connors. Moran, and Walsh went out in |
rapid order.
One. two three was the way the |
striped legged eXponents Of the national
game from the City of Brotherly Love |
made way at the plate for the George |
townites in the fifth. Only three of the |
batters of the Blue and the Grey went to !
the plate in the second half
In the sixth Quaker stock took slight |
rise by virtue of Golfers pretty two |
Dagger, a hit which would have meant |
but one base for anyone else. The feet |
footed Pennsylvania was so speedy, how |
ever that he beat the leather to the sec |
ond sack. That was as far as he got. |
The side was quickly retired. |
Georgetown was unable to hit Leary in |
the sixth and finished the inning without !
scoring. Both teams took a crack at |
the one-two-three proposition again IN the |
seventh inning. Gawthrope, newman, |
and Wainsboro made the requisite three |
outs for the Quakers, while Moran, |
" alsh, and o'Ilara were all thrown out |
at first when Georgetown came to bat
Perhaps the luakers had been saving |
up their batting strength. AT any rate |
they displayed plenty of it in the eighth, |
and that. too. after Brown and Bennett |
had both been put out. Ii was In this |
inning the visitors were saved from a |
shut-out. Leary made a nice single. Col |
lier followed with hit of the same de- |
and White did likewise, scor- |
ing Leary whereat there was all kinds of |
joy displayed by those in the |
and on the bleachers who |
wore the Red and Blue. Jones added a |
fourth single Of the Quakers' batting |
record for this inning and Collier sprinted |
across the plate, making Pennsylvania |
second and last run Gawthrope put an
end to matters by flying out TO Walsh.
Georgetown TO all appearances, had the |
game well within its grasp. and in their
half of the eighth made no special effort |
10 score again. The Quakers were retired |
as fast as they went TO the plate.
The game yesterday was the last |

April IL. when the Cornell team will cross
bats with the Blue and Grey on George
town Field. on Saturday next Georgetown
will play the United States Naval Acad-
