! 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. A 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 it looked like shutout for
"Pennsy' plucky rally and punching
of hits in the eighth netted them two
rams, 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 fielders
/ played an errorless game. Moran's home
| run in the first brought in two scores and
the masterfu way Captain Walsh punch
| ed three-baggers brought delight to the
! HedTtS OF Georgetown TOOleGS-
| 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,
while Jones stayed for a time on first as
a result of the presentation of that base
by Blewett. Drill opened up for the Blue
and Grey by reaching the initial bag on
a grounder, which Wainsborro fumbled
miserably Connors fouled out, and then
Moran came to the plate. He picked out
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 a single,
scoring Walsh. Devlin drove out another
single. and gained second base on an err
ror Of the Quaker lestfielder in handling
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-bagger. 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 Walsh's hands.
Blewett struck out when Georgetown
went to bat but the bad beginning was
atoned 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
Devlin closed the inning.
The Quakers secured but a single hit in |
the third and that did them little good. !
for they were sent 10 the field again |
without scoring. An easy grounder field |
ed to first, foul fly to Bennett, and a /
long drive which lodged in Gawthrope's |
eapacious nit, were the respective fates |
Of Apperious. Bowling. and Blewett in |
Georgtown's half of the third.
In the following inning the luakers got |
a solitary hit, but il failed TO increase |
their score Then Drill, the rotund re- !!
ceiving end of the Georgetown battery. |
smashed out a single, but was forced TO i
remain solidIy 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 a slight /
rise by virtue of Golfers pretty two
bagger, 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 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,
Walsh, and OfIara were all thrown out
at first when Georgetown came to bat.
Perhaps the Quakers had been saving
up their batting strength. AT any rate
they displayed plenty of II in the eighth,
and that, too, after Brown and Bennett
had both been put out. 1t was in this
inning the visitors were saved from
shut-out Leary made a nice single. Col
lier followed with a hit of the same de-
nomination, and White did likewise, scor-
ing Leary. whereat there was all kinds of
exuberant joy displayed by those in the
grandstand and on the bleachers who
wore the Red and Blue. Jones added
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 it's grasp, and in their
half Of the eighth made no special effort
TO score again. The Quakers were retired
as fast as they went to the plate.
The game yesterday was the last
Georgetown will play in this city until
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-
enny at Annapolis
