| If Jimmy Manning's hired men plrt up
| at Philadelphia this afternoon anything
| like the article of baseball they Iadled
| out to the young representatives of
/ Georgetown University yesterday there
will be something doing in the Pennsyl-
/ vania burg and the Senators won't be so
very far from having the most figures TO
! their credit when the struggle is finished.
| The game yesterday brought out several
! hundred Of the faithful and they were
| well rewarded. for the new Senators
! showed up in admirable form. Manning
! trotted out a trio of his most promising
! twirlers and they all displayed a versa
| tiity and thorough knowledge Of the art
of shooting fast and slow ones all sorts
/ of twisters and alluring teasers over the
| plate, much to the discontinue OF the
! young gentlemen from the institution of
/ learning. With the exception of three in
/ nings, in which Gear officiated, they were
/ kept pretty well in the background, al
! though from a purely amateur point of
| view the youngsters put up a stiff propo-
! sitiOn in the shape on a practice game for
! the locals. But in each instance in which
| Georgetown had men on the cushions
| Gear either pulled himself up in good time
or excellent support on the part of his
| companions prevented the official scorer
| from jotting down mark in the run col
umn allotted to the students.
Lee, a husky young left handler, was
fr,rF YlV VoA tn, fho ri fC~
innings he pushed the ball over the plate
mighty cleverly, although two of the
Georgetown boys succeeded in pasting the
trademark for singles. Lee handled him
self well, and showed that in a tight pinch
he can usually be relied upon to keep his
head about him and to remain anchored
TO the United States and not lose sight
of the fact that he is paid good salary
every Wednesday night to play ball and
not give an imitation of an amateur IA
vorite of the sand lots. He has plenty of
speed and at times uses a deceiving curve
that does some very efficient moving
down.
But talking of pitchers, no wearer of
Washington uniform has ever jumped SO
quickly into the good graces of local fans
as did Patten yesterday. He was sent in
to show his hand in the seventh inning,
up were strikes. and the batsman, Mckay,
walked back to his bench explaining to
his comrades about the cross-cut ball
which Patten was using.
Drlll-stocky little Catcher Drill-pooh-
poohed the idea. and said: 'Wait until /
land on it. and I'll show you whether it's
a cross-cut or a bum in-shoot masquerad-
ing under false pretences
Well. Drill did go up against the Patten
game a moment later, and after the UNI
pire Mr. Belts had called two strikes on
him in rapid succession, the Georgetown
boy became exceedingly angered, and in
dignautly threw down his bat and uttered
some language.
Patten was not at all seemingly discon-
certed by Mr. Drills impoHte and unpro-
fessionaI conduct. but modestly and un-
ostentatously showed another beauty
across the plate, while Drill was over near
the Senator's bench and the gentlemanly
Mr. Belts promptly called him out.
Then there was more explaining about
this new cross-cut ball OF Pattens, only
Drill did the talking, and the doughty
ConnOrs, he of the centre garden wanted
TO go up against II and see If he couldn't
take a fall out Of the mysterious sort of
a shoot. He anXiouSiy Slde-Stepped the
first two balls that came sailing directly
over the centre Of the piece OF rubber, and
before he could come out of his comatoSe
vicious swipe at the ball. and he, too, took
his seat in disgust. but not in disgrace |
for he had plenty of company.
And in sending the three men to the
tall timbers Patten had sent UP just nine
balls a most remarkable record.
This is the way the runs We're scored: /
At the very commencement of the game /
Farrell was given q base on balls, and |
trotted around the bags on Clarke's two
base hit. OBriens hit to O'Hara was |
neatly handled and the big left fielder |
reached the base after the ball was safe /
" ensconsed in Apperious' mitt. Clarke !
going to third on the play and moment I
later when DUNCAN lined the ball ont 10
Walsh in deep left, he ambled home. In |!
the second inning Coughlin crossed the !
rubber on Clingman's sacrifice and /
Grady's out to Corners and Lees single. |
Clarke made another tally in the sixth /
on q hit-by-pitched- ball. OBrien's hit, /
and McKay's tumble of Dungan's bunt. !
scorers busy marking down his move |
ments around the bases, which com |
menced with hit for one base, Il present |
OF a base on balls to Jack o Brien, and |
Dungans 5 hit to deep right. Quinn's hit !
was taken care of by Drill, while a |
present of a base on halls to Coughlin and |
Grady's hit assisted in rolling up two |
more scores for Mannings young men,
and when the smoke of the /
cannonading had cleared, the score !
had increased their score to seven. |
In the eighth Clingman's single, !
Il passed ball, Gradys two-baSger. Pat |
ten : safe nit for one pillow, Farrell $ out |
to Corners. and Clarke's second hit for !
two cushions sent the record of the pro- |
fessionais mp to nine runs, when Umpire |
Betts called the game on account OF dark |
ness and the hopelessnesS of the cause, so |
far as the collegians were concerned.
The following is the score:
