BROWN BOYS DEFEAT
THE COLUMBIAN NINE
Providence Lads Roll Up 9 Runs to
the Locals 5.

After having been defeated at the
hands Of the Georgetown nine on the
previous day. the nine sturdy lads wear
ing the word Brown on their shirt fronts
trudged down to Van Ness Park yester-
day afternoon and drubbed the Colum-
bian team 20 the tune OF 9 to s The
visitors played a remarkable uphill
game, and despite the fact that Whiting.
the twlrler. was up I'm the air, during
the first two innings, and the CoIumbians
made a few runs then, after that they
put up superb game. Columbian was
weak in the batting and base running
departments The men feIded better
than the Providence boys, and they did
not lose their heads as the visitors did
when a few scores were made. But af-
ter getting on the bases. the local col
iegtans did net know what to do. and a
little coaching in the base running line
would do no harm
Whiting, a iiminutive, fair-faced.
bushy-haired lad essayed to shoot the
shoots overssfor the visitors. His large
crop Of fiery locks drew the attention
OF the entire assemblage. which was out
and out a Columbian one. IN the initial
inning there were three runs made by
the local lads. and in the second two
followed. Writings pitching was poor.
the coiumbians' batting good, while the
Brown delders made lots Of errors.
Whiting was disgusted and wanted 20
be relieved from further duty In the
center of the diamond, but the little
fellow was made TO stay In and take his
medicine. Writings work from the
second inning until the end Of the game
was OF the gilt edge order and could
hardly have been better. But, all In ali.
the contest was a comedy Of errors, with
Brown men playing the principal parts
and their catcher occupying the center
Of the stage, where the calcium shines
The errors made by the visitors were ell
costly, while those OF the Co1umbians
were not so fatal
Fuicher, who did the iaboriOus box
work for the Columbiaus, pitched an ex-
cellent game. but he too. was the vic
tim of poor support. The Brown men
took kindly 20 his benders from the
start, however. and frequently placed
the leather in unguaTded TERRITORY
BieIaski. the popular captain OF the
Columbian team was the particular star
of the game. Although ne did not figure

at third was a revelation and the
chances that he accepted without an er-

he won much applause for his work.
Huck. the short individual who guards
the short field, also played g good game
and his throwing to the sacks was as
good as ever.
