Princeton went Gown before Georgetown
Saturday afternoons to 2. The game was
practically Won by Blewett, who kept the
ball out of the reach of the Jersey bats
men. fielded all over the middle of the dia-
mond and made two hitse at opportune
times. His support was admirable. Only
two errors were chalked up against the
home players in the course of nine innings
play on a muddy field. with twenty y-nine
fielding chances for the inf1eld.
Georgetown also hit the ball. ,Underhill,
Princeton's far-famed pace-changer, began
to lob them over at the opening of the
game and the locals located his delivery
practically at will. Stevens. who succeeded
the Princeton star. proved more difficult,
but was touched up for an average of hit
an inning. Steinwender. the doughty little
captain of the visitors, Meier and Pearson
managed to work two double plays during
the game. Otherwise the fielding honors
went to Georgetown.
