PRINCETON, N j., May 17.-George-
town was decisively beaten by Princeton
today in a game which, though little
one-sided, was full OF interesting plays
and hotly contested. The pitching staff
which has done such good work this year
was the cause of most Of the trouble, as
neither Blewett. Mackay. nor Cox pitched
in the form they are capable of.
Both teams fielded we'll, and even bril-
liantly at time. Meier and Pearson. for
Princeton, and Moran and Morgan for
Georgetown, doing the best work.
Pithcers Wild.
AS all three Of the pitchers used in the
| game have been playing fine ball this
season, 1t was not decided until the last
minute who should open the contest, and
then Bob Blewett, who has won two games
from Princeton this year. was given the
| preference
But the Nassauites seemed to take kind
five runs had been piled up in the first
three innings. Blewett was sent to the
bench and young Mackay given chance.
Mackay seemed unable to locate the
plate and the four men who faced him
were given bases on balls. The umpire
! had much to do with it, as his decisions
on balls and strikes were manifestly un-
I fair to Georgetown. and he favored
/ Princeton whenever there was the slight
est chance.
! When Mackay, aided by the umpire,
had sent four men down to first, it was
| thought best to remove him. Cox was
then ordered to the rubber. He was
steadier than the other two pitchers, but
even he was not in his usual FORM
Eye on the Ball.
Both teams batted we'll. Princeton Sc
curing one more hit than their visitors.
Their drives were longer. as they made
home run and a three-bagger.
The bases on balls given by the Blue
and Gray twirlers explains the story. Sew
en- we're presented and three hit by
pitchers.
In one inning. the sixth. the Blue and
Gray boys took a batting rally. and II
looked as If they would run up as many
runs as the wearers of the orange and
black. but after four clear hits had been
secured, and no one was out, the next
three batters were retired on easy chances.
Stevens. who did the twirling for
Princeton. was in good shape, and pitched
steady game. He was well supported,
too, as Captain Steinwender was the only
Princetcnian who had tallies in the error
column. tr'

New Grandstands.
The new grandstands that have been re-
Gently erected at Princeton were crowded
to tntir fullest capacity. All the trains /
from New York, Trenton. and Philadel-
phia carried people to see the game, as
the Georgetown Princeton contest is one
OF the biggest events of the spring at
Princeton.
The Georgetown team arrived at Prince
ton in the morning from Philadelphia,
where they had spent the night SO that
they would not be obliged to take such
a long trip on the day OF the game.
II was about 3 O'Clock when the umpire.

one down to Steinwender. who threw Nor

Princeton drew a blank in the first.

he accepted.

In the second Georgetown was blanked

who is the terror OF all college pitchers.
made two bagger and scored a moment
later on Browns single. Wells then flew
out, but Brown scored on a hit by Davis.
The next two men went out easily and the
score was tied. In the third Georgetown
