INDOOR BASEBALL GAME.
Y. M. C. A. Beat Carroll Institute in the
First of a Match Series.

The announcement that their physical
instructors would occupy the pitchers
box for the respective teams drew large
crowd to the Y. NJ. c. A. building last
night to witness the first of a series OF
match baseball games between the home
team and Carroll Institute. The asso-
citation won by the score of 20 to 2, and
aside from the pitching of Prof. C. L.
Beckett for Y. NJ. c. A, and Prof. Maur-
ice A. Joyce for the visitors. and the ter
rife hitting OF the winners, there was lit
tie to the game.
Mr.. Beckett had out his full team, which
played its usual fast game, while Mr..
Joyce was badly handicapped by having
only a third of his regular team, and as
a result his splendid pitching had no
support. and went for naught, as hits that
should have been outs counted for runs,
and il was only question of how large
the score would be for the winners. The

Fredericksburg's Strong Team Won Out
With Runs to Spare.

The Episcopal High School baseball team
went to pieces in the ninth inning in the
game with Fredericksburg College, in Alex
andria yesterday and allowed the visitors to
win by the score Of 13 to 8. UP to the last
the contest was close and exciting, but
then a combination Of errors and hits
ran the score out OF hailing distance OF
the local team.
White, for the High School. and Shackle-
ford, for the visitors, pitched we'll, with
honors going to the latter. He struck out
eight men. kept the hits well scattered.
and fielded his position splendidly. Car
ter, the High School catcher, did well, and
the work Of Harlan at shortstop was ex-
cellent.
One OF the features of the game was
the double play by the Fredericksburg
team. Shackleford captured u hot one in
time to catch a man at the plate, tho
catcher mailing the runner at first base
after putting the man out.
Errors were numerous on both sides, but
proved more costly to the locals.

errors helped the Athletics to get lead
on the Senators this afternoon, and Macks
men felt SO good over it that they fell

the game by big margin.
The afternoon was cold and it drizzled
