The University of Virginia baseball
team was shut out on Georgetown Field
yesterday afternoon by the doughty ag
gregation of ball tossers of Georgetown
University by score of 13 to 0. The
Blue and Grey played an almost perfect
fielding game. The visitors displayed far
greater proficiency in punching their er-
rors than their hits. They only managed
to get four singles from Blewett who
was on the rubber for Georgetown. Car
ter, of Virginia, made several costly wild
pitches. Matters We're made worse by
the miserable support he was given by the
remainder of the Virginia team.
A perfect day and a temperature al
most that of summer was a factor which
helped attract several thousand people to
the game. The grandstand and bleachers
on each side of the field were filled with
crowd that included a large number Of
Virginia followers, who were sadly disap-
pointed at the lack of opportunity to ex-
ercise their lungs.
Virginia had no show from the start of
the game. Not single runner got farther
than the third bag. 1t was doubly disap-
pointing, because games between George
town and Virginia are popularity supposed
to be hard fought battles from start TO
finish Georgetown rOOters were a bit
dubious yesterday because Devlin was out
of the game. For breach of discipline
he was temporarily suspended by Coach
Bradley few days ago His position
was taken by Connors the centreheder
and the latter's showing was a revelation
To, A.
den who played on the team a part of last
season, occupied right garden, and Apper-
ious went to centre. Golden accepted three
chances without an error. Moran did yeo-
man service. He scored four times and
made three hits, and was mixed up in two
fast double plays which came at oppor-
tune moments Blewett's showing at the
delivery end of the battery was superb, as
attested by the fact that four hits well
scattered were all the Virglnians could
get. For Virginia Woodard at short
stop, Walker, Nalle, and Sterns were the
stars.
A return game will be played with Vir-
ginia al Charlottesville next Saturday.
Then on May II the two teams will meet
in this city on neutral ground for the
final game of the series If Virginia
should manage 10 pull out of the next
contest winner, the game in this city is
sure to attract an immense crowd. The
attendance yesterday, while large was
rather a disappointment to the manage
ment. Apparently the fans were too
much interested in the game between the
Senators and Connie Macks Angels in
Philadelphia to journey to Georgetown
70. the purpose of seeing the collegians
play ball.

for they We're sent there from the plate
in one-two-three order without scoring
It was another story however, when
Georgetown came to bat. Every man on
the team took turn with the wagon
tongue, and at the close of the inning
there were four hits and five runs to the
credit of the Blue and Grey Drill and
Connors walked to first and scored soon
after aided by errors and wild pitches, to-
gether with timely singles by Moran and
Apperious. Walsh and Golden got singles
and Moran. Apperiohs, and Golden ambled
over the plate.
Georgetown blanked the visitors again
in the second. Walker made a single. but
was retired at second a minute later on a
cOrking good double play. Downing's
pop-up retired the side. In Georgetown's
half Of the second there was more good
stick work COnnors singled and scored
when Moran drove a long one to right.
The bail rolled under a carriage and was
not fshed out until the batter had
reached third base. A wild pitch by Car
ter sent him across the plate.
a couple of passes to the initial bag in
the third gave Virginia supporters ground
for hope that the Blue and Yellow would
score, but the antiCipatiOns were not full
filled. Georgetown also failed 10 tally in
their half Of the third, but managed to
add one score to their total In the fourth,
while Virginia was blanked again In the
fifth the crowd keenly relished the fast
work of the Georgetown players when
o Hara, Moran, and Connors retired the
visitors with a fast double play With
the game well within their grasp George
closed the fifth without scoring again.
The double plays were faVorite methods

Georgetown made another double in the
sixth inning. The Virginians went down
in one-two-three order in the seventh
The last half of the sixth saw George
towns score increased by five. BIewett
walked to first. Drill made a hit and
stole second and Blewett scored on an
error. Drill remained on third while two
men were given bases on balls thus fore
ing the run. Connors scored on a passed
ball. Male recovered the sphere and
threw wild to Carter at the plate. Carter
missed it and then Sterns threw wild,
permitting Moran and ApperiOus TO score.

was barren of interesting details. The !
