SCORE OF EIGHT TO SEVEN

Buoyed by the presence of several
hundred enthusiastic admirers, the most
numerous OF whom were Georgetown
University students, and having two Of
the star players OF the Blue and Gray
team among their ranks. the Dunbar
tens yesterday accomplished the seem
ingly impossible feat OF compelling the
erstwhile Norris Peters baseball artists
TO capitulate before them and took the
measure of the photographers chests
with apparent ease on the verdant
sward adjoining the historic Jesuit
institution across Rock Greek. After a
grand batting rally in the eighth ses-
sion, when defeat hung over their heads
like q pail. the West End player wen
the second game Of series OF ,hree TO
be played by the score of to T.
The large crowd which saw the game
was a thoroughly representative one,
and lusty roofing was INDUCED in early
and often by the everpresent individuals
with leather-like lungs and enough wind
TO send the Reliance over the finishing
line two days ahead of the shamrock
XVII.
Hats OFF to Lowe.
To DR.. Lowe. the diminutive twirler of
the Dumbarton club, is due most of the
credit Of the victory. but all Of the West
Elders made good with the willow, and
compensated for their fielding errors at
the batting station. In the eighth ses-
sion round the boys across Rock Creek

liable things TO them. They Dunted as
they never hunted before, and also lined
'em out to the tall timbers ad iIbitum.
Up to the last inning but one. the Norris
Peters boys had shade the better of the
argument. and when the Dumbartons
tied the score and then forged four runs
to the good. the crowd fairly went wild
Jim Morgan did some of his old time
phenomenal fielding at the third relay.
and Hart received back of the dish" like
bank cashier. Both of them batted at
oEportune times. and did their share of
the scoring. Fitzpatrick did some good
work at second base, and Thomas at
short was not half bad on some occasions,
and twice as bad at others. He COM
pleted an admirable double play at
crucial moment during the latter part OF
the contest. man was on first kopje
and the batter lined a whizzing one down
ever the second snag. which looked good
for a hit. Thomas made a fine scoop
and recovery. and ran across the second
ottoman and then fired the horsehide
over to the premier precinct In time TO
put the last brad in the batter's casket.
Walker Weakens.
Walker pitched a good steady game for
the losers until the eighth.
Opinion is divided as to whether the
Dumbartons did extraordinarily good
swatting or Artie did corresDondingly
poor leather serving. but certain IL is
that the Norris Peters felders were com
PEELED TO timber I'D their neither limbs
and gun TO the high timbers for the
leather. which. when the Dumbartons
were at bat, had most noticeable pro-
penslty for transcending the bounds of
the Georgetown campus.
Several errors of omission and a
brace OF committed ones were chalked
up against the Norris Peters boys al

lack Of steadiness and the Dumbartons'
rally in that fatal eighth lost the con-
test for them. after they had It prac-
tically won and tucked away in their
gripsack
The Norris Peters team won the first
game two weeks ago by a score of s
TO 4. Both mines have a scalp from the
other. and the third and deciding game
will be played next Saturday on George
town field at 4:2O o'clock. The George
town football team will meet the Mary
land Agricultural College team at 2:3O
O'Clock, and at the conclusion OF that
contest the baseballists will have a
chance. All this for one admission. so

of athletics at Georgetown.
