Shut Out the Wearers of
Blue and Gray.
A FAST AND SNAPPY GAME
De Montreville Handled His Team in
Fine Style and Tried Out his
Pitchers to Advantage.

| An air OF gloom hung over George
town College last night. and the mem
! bers Of the baseball team were crest
fallen and sick at heart. as a result Of
the drubbing the doughty coIlegians re
ceived at the hands Of the Washington
American League aggregation at League
Park yesterday afternoon, The blue
and gray lads looked for a victory to
crown their efforts. but the Senator's
were too shifty for them, and with the
greatest of ease, and without exertion,
walIoped them TO the tune of to 0.
At no time did the collegians get

Senatorial tribe went at it hammer
and tongs from the start, and secured

Both Teams Green.
Both Of the teams were a trihe raw. -
but the eight hundred or more en-
thusiastic fans and rooters who trudg-
ed out 10 see the contest were well
pleased. and everyone agreed that there
was the making of a strong college
team and a stronger league.
1t was only a practice game. and the
| Senator's are considered out Of George
towns class, but nevertheless the col
/ Iegians had high hopes OF drubbing
them
! 1t seemed TO be somewhat OF a sur
| prise TO the Senators that they won the
| game, because of the little practice
( they have had. Some OF the men who
/ played on the league team have had
only two or three days practice, but
despite that fact they cayorted around
as though il was the middle OF the sea-
son and they had been p-acticing a
month or so.
RoOters Much Pleased.
Although il is rather early in the sea
son. the game was an unusually fast one
and pleased the rooters immensely. The
! Senators had Demont as acting captain.
and he made his messmates stir about
as though it was a league game and
much depended upon it. Moran, the pop
