The Georgetown Baseball
Team Defeats Gallau-
Diet With Ease.
MANY CHANGES IN LINEUP
Merely Practice Game for the Boys
Across the Creek - Cox Found With
Ease-Batting Rally in Ninth Inning
Clever Double Play.

Georgetown. II runs, is hits, errors.
Gallaudet. 4 runs, hits, II errors. That
! is the complete story of yesterdays game
/ on Georgetown campus. in a nutshell.
I or course there were many variations in
| that grand total of twenty-five PLAYERS
| participated in the contest. but the efforts
of the majority of these simply con-
! tributed toward prolonging the contest
| without relieving the monotony by the
| slightest approach to brilliant playing.
The Blue and Gray ball tossers simply
. played horse with their antagonists. AT
the end of the third inning the score was
III to 1 in their favor and from then On
the Mutes failed to even give the George
town lads a run for their money. Tine
playing of Gailaudet was characterized
at times by plays that would have done
credit to any aggregation Of ball players.
These riffs in the mediocre playing were
| unfortunately, few and far between and
only served TO exaggerate the many giar
ing defects.
All Given a Chance.
After Georgetown had obtained its win
ming lead the manager Of the Blue and
Gray aggregation started a proceeding
that rendered the position of scorer ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable. not to say diff
cult. He switched his men around. put
new men in their places, and, in fact,
muddled things up to the best of his
ability.
The entire corps of pitchers we're given
an opportunity to test their respective
brands OF curves and benders against the
ability OF the GaIlaadet ba:smeu. Blew
EFT opened the game, and for three in
nings but two hits were obtained off ais
delivery. Maekay followed. ard for two
innings not a hit was obtained. Fay was
equally fortunate in the sixth and seventh
innings. but a Waterloo awaited Cox
when he appeared on the slab.
Cox Flies Distress Signal.
The Lao who successfully manipulated
the leather against old Eli was in the
nature Of cinch to the Kendall Green
aggregation. The first time he appeared
on the slab they found him for but
simple single. but there was trouble brew
ing in the ninth. however. McDonoGgh
started the batting matinee by locating
an uncovered portion of the right gar
den.
Apparently disgruntled by this state OF
affairs. Cox attempted to catch the, lucky
mute mapping on the initial sack. Instead
OF placing the leather in the neighborhood
of the first bagsman. however. he slammed
the sphere into the right field bleaehers,
and McDonough tramred around to the
last corner Waters was the next man to
face Cox, and by an exhibition of patience,
received free transportation.
Gallaudet Scores Thrice.
The Mutes then attempted to engineer a
double steal. and the ball was thrown TO
Derman in an attempt TO cut off Waters.
IL was a failure, however, and when Dor
man rassed the ball on TO the thirt. sack
he was unfortunate enough to throw in
sucn manner that the ball went between
Morgan and the s;n. Blinded by the glare
the third baserian failed to see the leath-
er, and IL continued on its passage toward
the left field bleacher.
McDonough and Waters were on the
alert, and by rapid sprIntiag, both crossed
the plate before Morgan could recover the
leather. The Mutes' third and last run
was pounded across 5ne plate by series
of clean-cut singles Lawrence led OF
with enc to right, Norisy planted on. IN
the opposite garden. and Lawrence scored
on 6urghors drive to right centre.
Saved by Double Play.
Georgetown was, indeed. in a predica-
ment. While they were still in possession
of comfortable lead, the Nutes were
hammering Cox almost at will. In addi-
ticn to this, the Blue and Gray had ex-
hausted its twirling department. and
there was no one to call upon for help.
1t was in this uncomfortable state of
affairs that Dissell and Moran came to
The front with a double play that retiref
the side, and relieved the anxiety. Meu-
nier caught the leather in the centre for
a lcng drive into right fell. Il looted
perfectly safe. and Worley who was en-
second base. started on his way around
the circuit.
Dissell. however. was to he depended
upon, and by long, hard run. managed to
seize the sphere and retain his grasp
upon the slippery covering. he then
turned and lined the ball to Moran. who
cut of Worley before he could return 10
the sack.
