COLUMBIAN BLANKETED

Lawyers No Match for the
Blue and Gray.
West End Collegians Give an Object
Lesson in WELDING the Willow
Score 40 to o.

Nine lads wearing the word Columbian
| upon their shirt fronts. trudged over TO
Georgetown Field yesterday afternoon TO
attempt to take a fall out of the West
End collegians. At the conclusion of the
ninth inning they were no nearer scoring
run on the Georgetown lads than they
were before they went to the field.
Georgetown easily administered good
drubbing to the tune of 20 to 0.
The score might have been larger, but
the boys from across the creek were COM
pletely tagged out. and were thoroughly
disgusted with the showing Of their op-
ponents. They beat deep paths from base
TO base. particularly the one leading from
third base TO the home plate.
Columbian Hits Scarce.
Runs and even hits were as scarce as
hens teeth in the Columbian youths
headquarters. The former could not be
gotten by any means, and the latter were
a a premium. Never during the progress
OF the nine sessions al the bat did the
defeated team have a ghost of a chance.
Only in one inning did the Column
bans get man as far as the third cor
ner. Adams being the only one that made
bold stab TO score one run to save his
team from being blanked
Fay served up the horsehide for the
boys from over the hill. and he bowled
them down and out in approved style. He
WIS supported in the best possible way.
as everyone played an errorless game.
Runkle Touched Up.
Runkie, semi professional player. who
halls from the Census Office, was appoint
ed to shoot the ball over for the wearers
of the blue and orange. He was touched
up for some twenty or more hits, and this,
coupled with his miserable support lost
the game for his team. Although he is ,
a good pitcher, Georgetown bows are OK
cellent hitters, and as long as they had /
donned their batting habiliments yester- |
da" it made little or no difference who
was to serve the leather up to them.
Ii appeared to an uninterested observer !
that each of the Columbian players was |
trying to outdo his team mates in making 1
stupid plays, and to see how long he could /
hold the ball when some other player |
needed it to prevent man from scoring.
Game in Detail.
Thinking that the last swat at the |
spheroid would give them chance to even
up matters If they happened TO iG!l be-

made a good beginning.
Dowlinp raped the first one thrown in
over to Bielaski at third base, and was
thrown out at first. A fly to center by
Dorman made two out. Morgan sauntered
up next and laid his avoirdupois against
the hall with sufficient force to send it
whizzing out to right field. 1t rolled over
the bank, but was returned to the Held IN

nlate Moran put the ball in the same
identical spot, and hustled around to the
third sack himself. Drake hit to left
field and scored when O'Hara sent one

a hot fly to Adams at first. and retired
the side.
The West End lads made three impress
sions on the score card during the action
Of this inning. They made two more in the
following inning, but were blanked in the
third. Long distance swatting was in order
In the fourth inning. while errors were in
order on Columbans' side.
In Bunches of Five.
When the last man was retired George

things in the fifth, but two men wearing
Georgetown uniforms sailed across the
finishing line in the sixth inning. Two
men scored on errors in the seventh, and

The final inning was great one. Three
