O what a fall was there, my country
men!
Georgetown fell OF its baseball perch
yesterday by allowing the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA to defeat it + &c 1. The
worst about this awful jolt was that IL
was deserved. for the ragged support
received by Crumley was alone re-
sponsible for the loss.
BY rights the game should have been
I 70 0 in favor of Georgetown, as not a
single Pennsylvania run was earned,
while Georgetown lonely tally was the
result of homer to center by Hart, IN
the thild inning. IT would have been
a comedy o. -,rrors had not the con-
sequences been % disastrous to the Blue
and Gray. in yiew of the fact that it
had already shut out Princeton and Yale
and seemed destined TO clean every
other college team in the country of
the baseball map
Crumley Pitched
Crumley was in the box again. A
telegram had been received from In
dianapols stating that while he pitched
four games for that team last year ne
had not received a cent for his services
and had paid his own expenses In view
of the fact that James Il. Sullivan and
other. eminent authorities on amateur
athletics haG declared that Georgetown
was TOO harsh in declaring Lew Drill
professional for the same offense the
Georgetown officials decided TO allow
their great freshman pitcher 10 go on
the slab yesterday.
Crumley pitched fine ball, but his
teammates were butter-fngers of the
worst sort, and their errors caused what
would have been one of the best games
of the season to become q hollow mock
cry No less than seven bad breaks
We're charged against the Georgetown
men. ana from the way the men fell
over themselves il is wonder that
they did not go wrong oftener thnn they
did II was just one of those bad days
that come to every team. and il is a
safe bet that before the season is over
the downfall Of yesterday VIII be more
than retrieved.
Connors Way OF.
Connors. IN center field, was the
principal offender in errors, getting two
for his very own. He does not go after
a ball properly, and after dropping two
flies, came near dropping another in the
sixth inning Hub Hart, the hero of
tho day with his little stick. also made
a bad break. In the fifth inning Nc
Gcttigan got his feet tangled into !
oouble-twisted bowlznot and allowed
Cariss 10 reach first. when he should
have been out a block Bowling dropped
a thrown ball that was a little wide,
however, and Hanretty and Morgan
also made some queer contOrtiOns that
allowed runners to reach the base.
Caldwell pitched a beautiful game
for Pennsylvania. He had speed and
control and the husky hitters frCr-

Only Four Hits.
Only four times did the locals land
on the ball safely, and one OF those was
when Hart did Eis mighty deed OF
valor and prevented a shut-Out by max
ing q home run. COnnors, who did 81

were by him. but che time he was forcec
and the other he faded away at frs
because Of a subsequent pop iy.
PENIS inheld played like house afre
The men had a professional snap and g
