M0RGAN'S HOME RUN DID IT
Jack Townsend Batted Out of the Box
for Six Hits, Resulting in
as Many Runs.

Revenged al last are the lads from
the hills of staid old Georgetown. Smart
ing under two previous defeats at the
hands of the Senator's. they played base
ball for all they were worth at Ameri-
can League Park yesterday afternoon,
and the things they did to Tom Lotus
bunch of ball tossers were rude in the
extreme. The principal offenders against
the Statesmen were Morgan and Seitz.
The former young man, who looks at
ter things around third for the col
Iegians became intimately acquainted
with one of Jack Townsend's pet benz
ers in the fifth inning, and did the

sauntering around the bases, and fol-

When "Aerialist" Townsend finally
lowered his balloon to earth. and stepped
out on terra frma once more, George
town had batted six runs across the
plate, on as many hits. IN this inning,
every collegian batted. while Bowling
had two cracks at the sphere, coping
out a single and a two-sacker, This
inning was enough to win the game for

to put but four hicks in the counting

Seitz's Fine Work.
The other Young man referred to, one
Seitz-not very liberal. by the way-ai-
lowed the Senator's but six hits, and
shared the honors with Morgan toward
defeating the Senators. He had several
conundrums up his sleeve in the way of
shoots which the Senator'S were unable
to solve. Seitz made Townsend. his op-
ponent on the rubber. who by the by
has received his bumps with persistent
regularity this spring look like cheap
selling platter among lot of thorough
breds.
Coughlin was the only Senator to bag
more than enc hit of the Georgetown
twirler, while Moran, Holmes, Carey,
Townsend. and Patten have yet 10 be
initiated into solving the mystery of his
variety of shoots. Moran, Holmes. and
Patten each punched three holes in the
atmosphere in vain attempts to put the
ball of the lot. while Seitz only chewed
gum and smiled.
The Georgetown players have been
chafng under the two defeats the Sen
ators handed out to them earlier in the
season. md victory was all the sweeteT
to them for this reason, and last night
they celebrated accordingly. If there IS
any team the Senator'S like to snow IN
der that team IS Georgetown and well
aware OF this fact the boys who wear
the blue and gray paraded the streets

The game was fast and interesting
from beginning TO end, and the result
was in doubt until the last Washington
player was retired in the ninth inning.

brought rounds of applause from the
spectators.
The damp. heavy atmosphere and
threatening skies made the weather de-
cfdedIy disagreeable for baseball, and
but a handful of loyal fans turned out
TO witness the game. Most of these
we're Georgetown students, and the royal
reception they accorded their favorites
could have been heard blocks away.
Stupidity on the Bases
