in the fourth, the fifth, and the eighth
innings and as a result the runners with
striped stockings crossed the plate in each.
Another point in the visitors favor was
their GOODNESS. Nothing appeared to dis
turb the sangfroid with which they played
the game. In the seventh and eighth in
nings, when Georgetown scored their only
runs, the yelling of the supporters of the
Blue and Grey was deafening. The Tigers
