GAME DECLARED FORFEITED.
Pitcher for University of Maryland
Team Ordered From the Field.


Team Ordered From the Field.
An interesting game was played on the
Georgetown campus yesterday afternoon
between the blue and gray and University
of Maryland teams. the score being tied
to i'm the ninth irning when Umpire
Belts gave the contest to the local collie
gians by the score of . to q. Pitcher
Burns was the cause of the forfeiture.
He carried himself with a high hand
throughout the game, and in the eighth
inning when Umpire Belts declared ball
batted into right field fair. which Burns
thought was foul. he threw his hat and
glove on the ground and commenced a bus
ing the holder of the indicator. Mr.. Belts
ordered Burns from the field, and upon his
refusal to go gave the game to George
town by the score of , to y.
The game was loosely played by both
teams, five misplays being charged up to
each. Mckay began pitching for George
town, but in the eighth he went to pieces
the visitors getting three runs and the
lead before they were retired. Until this
inning Mckay had pitched clever ball.
Burns. on the other hand, was effective
throughout, Connors and O'Hara being
about the only local players who could To-
cate his delivery. The former had a home
run, a double and a single to his credit
while the latter had two timely singles
Umpire Belts missed a couple of strikes
on Burns but this is hardly sufficient
excuse for the latter's action. From the
beginning Burns seemed to have chip on
his shoulders, and the climax was reached
in the eighth when Bowling hit into right,
scoring the tieing run. and he saw all his
good work go for nothing
Right Fielder Sailer's playing was the
feature of the visitors game, several of
his catches being marvellous while Moran
and O'Hara fielded their positions per
fectlE.

Base Ball Notes

For ''good-sized crowd" 5000 specta-
tors is doing pretty Well
Coughin is a foxy boy. He comes up on
the grass after the ball, not taking chances
on the soft earth
Mercer and Howell will probably be the
opposing twirlers this afternoon
Catcher Robinson is under the weather
and I.atimer will probably catch the re-
naming games of the series for Baltimore
The Senators leading the rSocession
now, Detroit having dropped into second
place through yesterdays defeat, and the
locals are likely to stay there for some
time.
Catcher Clarke Is a tower of strength to
the local boys. He is continually coaching
them to be on the alert, and as result
there is not that listlessness liable to come
out when the players are not jollied.

The Cannon Ernr.

If a traveller were to announce that
he had discovered in some remote part
of the globe an animal whose tongue
was rooted in the front of it's mouth
the tip pointing down the throat, and
further, that the creatures manner Of
breathing was so peculiar that the sur
est way of suffocating it was to keep
its mouth fixed open, there would be
some little curiosity about the find"
If the discoverer went on to say that
the creature began existence as fish,
breathing by means of gills and hav
ing heart of only two chambers, but
had undergone transformation, discard
ing gills and gradually acquiring lungs,
adding a third chamber to it's heart,
and so in the trueSt and most literal
sense passing from the order of fishes
to the order of reptiles. the public
might even become excited about this
extraordinary animal-until it came out
that it was no other than the common
or garden frog. Then probably 10 per-
sons out of 20 would instantly cease to
take any interest in the subject. if they
did not feel some resentment against
the man who had contrived to draw
their attention for a time to such a
common reptile.
