Dickinson College Players Catch
the Blue and Grey Mapping.

keystone Athletics Work the old
Hare and Tortoise Game Almost
TO "a Final Success - Then Walsh
Stole Bases and That Ended Ii
The Dickinson College baseball team
| gave Georgetown a close rub yesterday
| afternoon. The final score of the last
| coiiege game to be played on Georgetown
| Field this year was to in favor of
the Blue and Grey For time it looked
as though the collegians from the Key
| stone State We're going to walk away with
/ the local balltossers. They blanked
| Georgetown in each of the first five in
| nings and in the meantime put a couple
Of tallies in their own run column.
But it was not to be. Walsh, the
| Georgetown captain, did enough stealing
| Of bases in the sixth to get sentenced for
| life had he been caught He wasn't. how
! ever and chaiked uD the first run for
| the Blue and Grey. In the next ianing the
| locals did some good hitting and base run
ming. The Dickinsonians did some promis-
| cuous and aimless juggling with the leath-
er and as a result GEORGETOWN rooters
| breathed easier after three more runs
made their score a total of four.
! The game was a good one There was
|
| ed by the record of two home runs and
several pretty hits of lesser denomina-
! tons. Adamson and Apperious each drove
| the ball into the ravine west of the
grounds and made the circuit of the bases
| unmolested in consequence. The fielding
| department of the game was well looked
after. Bowling won all kinds of plaudits
by the fast and clever manner in which
he corralled several infield hits.
There was little enthusiasm. manifest
Even when matters looked rather dark for
Georgetown there was no roofing. and the
only time a Georgetown o,eer WAS heard
was when the defeated team gave it at
the conclusion of the contest
Fay was on the rubber for Georgetown.
E:is work in the other games he has
pitched this year has been high class.
His only trouble has appeared to be that
he was not strong enough to last the full
nine innings. This failing was not ap-
parent yesterday, for he really did better
work in the latter part of the game, and
held the visitors to less hits than in ehe
former. He struck ont seven of the op-
posing batsmen, and did not hand out
single pass to first.
Adamson, left fielder OF Dickinson, was
probably the star of that aggregation. He
made homer, a triple, and a single and
tailed one of the three runs to Dickin-
sons credit.
Georgetown was first to bat Drill flew
out, Connors and Moran both singled, but
the former was retired In an attempt to
purloin the cushion at second Moran re-
mained on the initial bag until the side
was retired on Apperious' pop-up Had
it not been for fine home run by Adam
son, the master stickman of Dickinson. in
their half Of the first, they would have
been BANKED As it was. they got single
run.
The trick was repeated in the second in
ming in nearly the same manner. after
Georgetown had been handed out another
goose egg. Evans hit hot one along the
first base line. 1t escaped Apperious and
found resting place in the bushes in the
bottom of the ravine west of the diamond
Evans reached the home plate before the
ball was tielded to the bases
The scoring stunts closed temporarily
with that. There were no more runs
turned out until Georgetown got busy in
me IN sixth inning. 1t was all Walsh's fault
N TINS inning. After he had been gra-
clously presented with first base he i'm
mediateiy stole second,
Inc visitors were q. bit surprised and
almost before they had recovered the
Georgetown captain r.4ade a dash for
third, where he arrived quite a while be
fore the ball did. Dowling stepped up
and provided the needed hit on which
Walsh scored.
One-two-three order was he cruel treat
ment Dickinson was accorded in the fifth
sixth, and seventh innings Georgetown
did three times as well in the seventh as
they had in the sixth Connors gained
first on an error. Morans hit to centre
was mishandled by Gordon. and Connors
crossed the plate, Moran bringing up at
third in the meantime. The latter scored
on Apperious triple. This hit was easily
good for three sacks but he tried to
stretch it into a homer and was retired
at the plate.
Walsh's fly to centre being muffed by
Gordon. the runner stole second and fin
ished the circuit OF the bases when Can
non missed the ball thrown to cut off
Walsh. This made the third run of the
seventh inning, the first half of which
closed when Bowling was retired at first.
Dickinson made its only other run in the
eighth. Cannon was struck in the head
by foul tip and temporarily disabled.
When he was revived and stepped to the !
plate he punched out q twO-base hit and |
scored later when Adamson donated a
single. In the first half of the ninth Ap-
periouS leaned UP against a choice one
passed I'D by Hunt II went over the |
bank Of the ravine in right and the |
Georgetown fielder crossed the plate. |
Dickinson was blanked in the ninth.
This afternoon Georgetown will meet |
an all-WashinEton'' team on Georgetown |
Field Monday the team starts on a trip |
which will last for a week, during which |
time Yale, Pennsylvania, Brown, and !
are in good trim. The Yale game viii |
probably be the best of the trip. George |
town has once defeated and has been once |
tied by Yale this year The third game |
next week at New Haven viii be the de- /
Gliding one Of the series.
