PENNSYLVANIA TRUN DOWN
Drop Close Contest to Blue and Gray in
Final Inning = Fast Fielding Work
Mingled With Superb Pitching on
Franklin Field.

PHILADELPHIA. May 10.-The Penn
sylvania and Georgetown teams batted
for nine exciting innings today on
Franklin Field. Georgetown finally won
out by one run. Both teams played
erratic ball at times, each being credited
with five errors. but as they were evenly
divided IL did not affect the closeness of
the contest. Blewett, as usual. pitched a
mastery game, though his wild throw to
first in the third inning was costly er-
ror, as two runs came in afterward. He
more than redeemed himself. however. by
driving in the winning run in the ninth
inning.
Play Fast Ball.
The infeld, with the exception Of one
liant game Moran, Morgan, Dorman, and
Bowling took care of everything which
came their way, while Apperious caught
an excellent game behind the bat. Neither
team batted heavily.
As result of the game the George
town lads are more confident than ever
that they will win the college pennant
this year. Pennsylvania mas always been
their hoodoo and has not been defeated
before on Franklin Field since 1895. 1t is
no wonder then that the Blue and Gray
rooters should feel elated over the hard
earned victory Of their nine.

was not TO be beaten by rattles. After the
third inning the fielders played a game
that could not be excelled. giving Pennsy
absolutely no chance to score, and wait

plate This chance came in the ninth
inning. Golden hit safely and galloped
down to second on Dissel's sacrifice.
Blewett Saved Day.
Then Bob Blewett decided that nine
innings were plenty for any team, and
the first ball served up he drove to n
safe spot in short center field, and when
the ball had been recovered by a Penn
fielder. Golden's long legs had carried
him safely across the plate and the hon
ors of the day belonged to Georgetown.
IL was undoubtedly the most exciting
game Georgetown has played this season.
