STRIKES OUT A BAKERS DOZEN
Victory for Blue and Gray by Score of ?
to 3 - Middies Made Gallant Uphill
Fight, But Could Not Overcome Col
legians' Lead.

Georgetown visited Annapolis yesterday
, afternoon and returned home last night
with the scalps of the Naval Academy
baseball team-score: Georgetown, 7;
Navy, 5.
The game was a good one. Although
Georgetown did not play as well as they
might have done, they at no time had
any fear for the result. The Middies per-
formed well at periods. They made a few
errors, which Georgetown took advan-
tage of to fill up the tally column.
Blewett Pitched Well.
Bob Blewett pitched a great game for
the Blue and Gray, striking out thirteen
men and allowing the pets of Uncle Sam
to force out only three little ragged hits.
Apperious did good work behind the bat,
and took in Bob's hot ones with ease.
His work at the bat was also very eff
fective. Captain Moran was the hero of
the day in the hitting line. Three hits
triple and two singles-show up for his
work with the stick. Morgan and the rest
of the boys were, as usual on the alert
and laid their hands on everything that
came their way
Weaver caught an almost perfect game
for the Middies, and Ravenbush, the
twirler, showed up splenddly, consider
Ing the team that was pitted against him.
Bowling opened up the game with a
hot one to short. and was retired at first
Dorman followed, reaching first on an
error, but was caught while attempting
to steal second Morgan hit safely to
center and scored on Moran's drive to
left. Moran then tried to steal home, but
was caught.
Navy Out in Order.
The Navy was retired in regular order,
Childs on a strike out, Station on a fly to
center, and Weaver on q pop to Dorman
at second base. r.-r.
In the second inning Georgetown was
retired without adding to the score. The
Cadets were also blanked.
Both sides were again blanked In the
third. The Blue and Gray lads received
similar dose in the fourth
The Mlddies made things more excit-
ing in their half by sending a run over
the plate and tying thesscore. This was
the only time that they looked real dam
gerous, as the local lads resumed their
lead the next turn at the bat and were
never headed. Station, the first man up,
reached second on a bad throw of Nor
gan's. which should have been an easy
out. station then made7 third on Weay-
er's out, Morgan to Bowling, and came
home on an out by Smith, Blewett and
bowling. -r ss
Blue and Gray Leads.
In the fifth inning Georgetown took a
comfortable lead on a two-base hit by
Bowling and four misplays by Uncle
Sans proteges. Golden was first retired,
but Hanretty reached first on an error
by Ryden, and scored on Dowling's double
after Blewett had been put out at first
Bowling was perched on third by an err
ror OF the third baseman, Ryden, and
scored when Dorman was sent to first on
Pegram's tumble. On another tumble by
Pegram, Morgan went down to first and
both runners crossed the plate a mo-
ment later, when Moran come to the res
cue with one of his timely hits.
In no wise discouraged by the lead
taken by the doughty Georgetown play
ers, the Cadets came to the bat in their
half of the fifth determined to reduce
Georgetown's lead. For short while it
looked as though they might, but after
obtaining two runs they were forced to
retire. Anderson hit a safe one and scored
on Ryden's two-bagger. Pegram few out
but Raudenbush captured the initial sack
on an error, scoring Ryden. The next two
meI, however were easy outs.
The Blue and Gray aggregation resumed
its work in the sixth and seventh in
nings, adding a run in each inning. In
the sixth they scored on an error and
two hits, and In the seventh the same,
coupled with a stolen base, which was
good for one more run.
In the eighth and ninth innings both
the Blue and Gray and the Blue and
Gold were blanked, each nine getting but
one hit
Bill Clarke Coming Here
The local team returned home on the
afternoon train, reaching Washington
about o'clock On the same train jour
neying homeward. was Catcher Bill
Clarke. of the Washington team, who has
finished coaching the Cadets and will
probably report to Manager Lotus for
work tomorrow.
If so, it will be his lot to face the
Georgetown lads in their second game
with Washington, as Drill is not anxious
to play against his college mates. The
score:
Georgetown. ALB. r. 1B. Pc. A. E.
