GEoRGEToWN's VICTORY.
Yale Defeated Through Blue and
Gray's Sensational Fielding.

College base ball was seen at it's best on
Georgetown field yesterday afternoon. In
a game composed largely Of brilliant field
ing plays and marked by pitching of the
highest order Georgetown defeated Yale
by score of to 1. The result was in
doubt until the very close of the game,
and the work of both teams places them In
the first rank of college mines for this sea-
son.
Yale won from the local team last week
by score of to 2. In that game Gar
van. Yale student who had his early
training at Georgetown, held his oppo-
nents down to five scattered hits and his
support precluded them from every chance
or winning. Yesterday Georgetown went
into the field with evident detcrmina-
ton to change the tables. Caravan pit ched
again, and again held Georgetown down to
five hits. Cox, who had rescued his team
from overwhelming defeat in the earlier
game, went to the rubber again for George
town. Both men surpassed themselves.
The general opinion was that Cox earned
first place on the Georgetown twirling
staff. He held the scientific hitterS from
New Haven down to six nits. struck out
three men, and steadied down at the half
dozen crises of the game like an expert
enced league pitcher. Caravan played the
same game as in last weeks contest-held
himself together. struck out three men,
put the ball over the plate at critical pc
RODS and fielded his position as well as
any man on the team. That GEORGETOWN
won was due to no fault Of his and to no
superiority on the part of his opponent in
the pitchers box.
Three factors contributed chiefly to the
result-timely bunting by Georgetown an
error by brilliant little De Saulles and mis-
guided coaching, which sent Winslow home
on scant three-bagger in the ninth in
ming. The luck of the game was all with
Georgetown. but the home team played
with marvellous brilliancy as well.
In three innings only nine Yale men went
to bat. Twenty-four of the put-outs were
made by the local infeld. Only one Yale
man went to first on errors. At every point
the Georgetown game was of the highest
order.
Yale would have bettered even such
record, however. had 1t not been for four
errors in the infield. De Saulles fumbIed a
hard grass burner, Miller at short dropped
an extremely hot liner Chittendon at the
frst bag muffed an easy throw and Caravan
felded a bunt too slowly to catch his man
at first. Chittendon and De Saulles are the
only ones who really deserve errors Elk
cept for their msplays Yale fielded as ac-
curately as any team in the two profess
sional leagues. At one time Moran shot
from third to the home plate on a swift
grounder to Miller at short. It looked like
an easy score. and possibly a successful
run to first. But Miller picked up the ball
so quickly and threw so accurately to
Winslow that Moran was put out a foot
from the plate Dorman was at one time
playing off about three feet from second
base Before any one knew what had hap
pened the Yale catcher sgnaled Miller to
second. Garvan had fired the ball to the
bag and the runner was out
Two throws from the outfield brought the
grand stand to its feet. In the seventh
Golden hit to center, safe hit and Drill
started as fast he could run from third
to the home plate. But Barnwell was ap-
paren1y waiting for just that move, and
shot the bali to Winslow so swiftly as to
cut Drill off at home and retire the side
without a run. Georgetown equaled this
in the ninth by throw in relays which cut
off Winslow's attempted run home. The
ball went from Golden to OHara to Mo-
ran. to Cox. to Drill like flash 1t was a
relay play which is not likely to be euualed
during the present college season.
