LOST ON ERRORS.
Harvard Georgetown Game Won by the
Former.

The Harvard-Georgetown base ball game
played on the latters field Saturday after
noon resulted in a victory for the Harvard
team by to O. Costly errors by the blue
and gray players at critical moments were
responsible for the runs of the visitors.
Leaving out those unfortunate features,
the game was a good exhibition of the ma
tional sport. The contest was witnessed by
about $500 enthusiasts, nearly half of
whom were of the fair sex. and there was
abundant display of college spirit in the
cheers and college songs that woke the
echoes along the north bank of the Poto-
mac.
Captain GARRISON the fair-haired twirer
of the Harvard aggregation, proved an en-
igma the Georgetown players were unable
to solve. He allowed but two dinky little
hits of his delivery, and only three of the
wearers Of the blue and gray reached first
base, while twelve of the local collegians
beat large holes In the atmosphere without
coming within hafling distance Of the ball.
Clarkson displayed speed in unlimited guam
titles and his curves were Chinese puzzles
for the opposing batsmen. His playing
was on the sensational order, and on sew
eral occasions during the contest he showed
a tendency to play the whole game alone.
particularly when he denied the first base
man the credit for put-outs on short hits.
Drill, who occupied the rubber for the
locals during the entire game, allowed but
four hits and was decidedly effective. His
pitching Is of a different sort from Clark
sons, and he has not the speed of the
Harvard man. but he nevertheless acquit-
ted himself in an excellent manner. Be-
fore the season is over he no doubt will be
classed as one Of the leading college pitch
ers of the year. Although his support was
far from the gilt-edge order, yet Drill never
lost his head, but stuck to his work like
an old-timer
Sam Apperious. Georgetown's captain and
catcher, was not in the contest Saturday.
He declined to go into the game because
the Harvard men played Matthews their
colored shortstOp, who comes from the
same town in Alabama from which APP
perious halls Matthews displayed the
abilities of first-class ball player and con-
Quoted himself in a gentiemanly manner
Notwithstanding there were Kisses every
time he stepped up to bat and derisiye
cheers when he failed to connect with the
ball. The little shortstop took no notice of
prejudice of a number of the spectators,
but just sawed wood On his part there
was no unbecoming conduct. He made the
last run for the visitors and displayed more
than ordinary ability as base runner, be-
sides fielding his position in a creditable
manner.
Harvard's first run was made in the
fourth inning. Stillman was given base
on balls and Clarkson flied out to Drill
DAILY then hit to Drill. He tried to make
double play and threw to McGettigan, who
caught Stillman, but in throwing to first
sent the ball over Dowling's head into the
bleachers. Daily almost reached third be-
fore the leather was recovered and came
on home while the ball eluded the clutches
of Dorman and rolled into left field In
the sixth Randall made first on an error,
stole second and scored on the hits of DAILY
anu H. Herman. Matthews made the last
run in the seventh. After reaching first ON
Morgans error he purlofned second and
tinrd and crossed the plate on a passed
ball.
