PRINCETON DEFEATED.
Timely Hitting Of Georgetown Won
Saturdays Game.

The Princeton Tigers fell victim to the
timely hitting of the Georgetown Univer-
sity ball tossers on the latters' field last
Saturday afternoon, the score standing q
to at the end Of six long innings. when
the game was called on account of dark
ness. sensational catch by Bowling and
the batting of Apperious who made
two home runs. were the notable features
Of the game. and afforded the 600 or more
rooters opportunities to exercise their
lungs. The pitchers were wild and present
ed passes to first indiscriminately. but the
fielding on both sides was creditable.
The last half of the sixth inning was the
most exciting part of the contest. and for a
time things looked dark for Georgetown.
1t was during this inning also that Bowling
made his spectacular catch. Amelie had
gone to the bench on long fly to Byrnes
and McClave took the willow to try his
luck Fay was lobbing them over the plate
in fine shape and McClave glued his eye
to good one and drove it on the fly about
twenty feet from first base. To the spec
tators 1t looked good for at least two sacks,
but Bowling went after the white specK
and jumped high in the air, sticking out his
ungloved hand. When he drew 1t back 1t
was full of base ball, and McClave's flight
around the bases was stopped. Dowling's
sensational catch was rewarded with ring
ing cheers from the rooters.
The score follows.
