Georgetown Made a Splendid Strug-
gle Against the Professionals.
Predictions made. that yesterdays game
between the Washington and GEORGETOWN
| teams would be a fierce contest did not go
| astray, the two clubs were on their
| mettle from the start to the finish the pro-
| fessionals finally winning out by the score
| or to i. The Georgetown players clearly
| demonstrated yesterday that there is hardly
| an amateur team in this country that can
| take their measure and many professional
| organizations cannot afford to take matters
| easy when they have the blue and gray lads
| as opponents. Yesterday afternoon the uni
versity team was charged with four errors,
| but they were all on hard chances and do
| not reflect at all on the players ability
Morgan. at third. slipped up three times on
| hard hit grounders, but he took care of five
other chances in mastery style.
| The game created a great deal Of interest
| all over the city, and as a result fully $500
spectators were on hand when Umpire Sher-
| idan started the fun. AS in previous con-
tests, the adherents Of Georgetown focked
to the seats on the left of the diamond
while the followers of the senatorial flag
went to the right. Cheers and counter
cheers greeted the efforts of the two teams
and the enthusiasm was always at high
pitch. AS a result the game was a most
enjoyable one and fully up to the high
standard set by the professional organiza-
tions.
