Umpire-Mr O'Loughlin. Time Of game-1 hour

For time in the second game 1t looked
as though the Senators would stop Cleve-
lands winning streak, all, due to lack OF
headwork on the part of DUSTY Rhoades'
who had been sent to the nring line. he
was responsible for the two runs made by
the Senators. These two runs looked
mighty good for time, but they were
spoiled when the Clevelands started on
their batting rally in the eighth inning.
Washington was presented with run IN
the second. when Mil and Cassidy singled
in succession. Donovan grounded out ad-
yancing the runners, and Kittredge sent
low fly to Flick, who threw to the plate,
holding the runners on their bases. Bemis
tried to nip Cassidy, who had taken big
lead at second. On Turner's return throw
10 the plate Rhoades played several feet
away for the ball and Mil scored by slid
ing. Cleveland tied the score in the third.
when Lush, who had been sent into the
game in place of Rossman, began with
single to left Bemis sacrificed and, on
Rhoades single to center. Lush scored.
The Maps" took the lead in the fourth,
when Turner was able to make three bases
on ONeills beautiful muff and wild throw
to second, and he scored on Lush's second
single. Neither team scored again until
the eighth. when Washington tied the score.
Kittredge led off with a single through
Rhoades. and he was forced by Jacobsen
on Rhoades good stop. O'Neill hunted
safely ard the runners were advanced on
a wild pitch. Jacobsen scoring minute
later on Hills grounder to Lajoie. Stahl

the inning when he tried to steal home,
Bemis just getting him.
Then the Cievelands began their bonn
bardment. Lajoie led Off with single and
stole second. When StovaH and Turner
flied out. 1t looked blue for the Maps"
Again Lush came to the rescue and singled
to center, sending Lajoie home with the
winning run. This was the opener. Bems,
Rhoades. Vinson. Bradley and Flick sin
gled in succession, and with Lajoie's double
seven runs in all were scored every one of
them earned. After II was all over the

and Mccormick succeeded in driving the
leather over f1fty-five yards when the wind
was largely responsible for one of Prince
toms scores. It was not until the last hve
minutes that the Georgetown team was
completely broken. and then had there been
two minutes of play 1t is likely another
touchdown would have been credited to the
Tigers, as they had made an uninterrupted
march over seventy yards.
Jim Robinson's boys showed the results
of their good training, and only once was
time taken out by the Orange and Black
team, although the contest was unusually
hard for so early in the season The game
started with a rush. and at hrst looked ike
town boys soon settled down and showed
their strength. Burke received the KICK
off and advanced ten yards. Captain
Foulke slipped around left end and made
Gettigan pulled him down.
After one mass play Foulke tried the
same stunt. and ran for twenty yards. when
he was forced out Of bounds within eight
cen yards Of the coveted line. The rapid
advance however, was checked here when
the Princeton team was held TOT GOWNS.
Both elevens showed strong defense, and
after few plungeS each was compelled 10
exchange punts twice.
The bali played about the middle of
Georgetowns territory until Lark1n, the
halfback, broke through ttdHerty, pdSSeo
the second defense, hurdled over Burke and
started down the open field for touch
down, when Foulke tackled him from be-
hind after a 35-yard run. During the re-
mainder of the first half the ball exchang-
ed hands repeatedly. but neither team gain
ed more than twenty successive yards.
The Tigers started the second half with
determined run after the ball came into
their possession. and never lost it until
touchdown had been scored.
Short was decidedly the hero OF the art
enoon. and repeatedly forced the opposing
line for heavy gains. For forty yards the
Princeton boys hammered and batted their
way along. When Short was given the ball
on the 35-yard line he broke through right
center, dragged himself on with three
players cinging to his togs, never lost his
feet, fought his way down the line with
butcher for interference and crossed the
goal with remnants of the Georgetown
team trailing behind. Foulke failed to

bigger scores Saturday than they did against
the same opponents last year. Harvard be-

Williams than year ago. Yale was ragged
and careless against Trinity. but showed

improved, and the New York eleven made
SIX more points than a year ago against
Wesleyan. Princeton had the hardest op-
position of all In Georgetown, and won 10

joint challenge to the New York National

for Brush to clear himself of the charge of

AS Sporting Life says: cit is evident

Ginning to play. a, series for the worl9' s

There was q rumor in circulation last

An offer of $4,000 for series of seven
games between the New York Nationals
and New York Americans, in case the latter

The offer stipufates that the money go to
the players of the two teams. not over

that seven games be played and that the
offer holds good only in case OF another re-
fusal of the National camp to play the

Jacobsen Bombarded.
While Cleveland won the first game Sat-
urday by the score of to 0 the second
game was a royal battle till the last half
of the eighth inning. The Senators were
fighting every inch of the way for this
game until the Maps landed on JACOBSEN
and batted out seven runs, all of them
earned. 1t came unexpectedly that the
large crowd present sat in their seats in
amazement until the bombardment was
over.
In the first game, Red Donohue was
opposed by Hughes. The latter had been
more or less of mystery to the Clevelands
all season. but the maps" batted him
freely in every inning. and also took ad
vantage of the Senators niisplays. The
batting In this game was done practically
by three men, Buelow making four hits,
Bradley three. and Lajoie two, while Sto-
vail made one hit. Every one of Bueiow,s
four hits went for naught. Cleveland took
advantage of every misplay and made it
count. Turner and Mil carried Off the
fielding honors. Although ONein began
the first with a single, he was soon thrown
out trying to steal second Cleveland
scored two runs in their half, when Vinson
walked and scored on Bradleys double to
the left field fence. Flick sacrificed. and
on Stovalrs double to the fence Bradley
scored Cleveland tailed another in the
third when Vinson was safe on Hills fum-
Bile, Bradleys single. a sacrifice. and La
joie's long fly to Huelsman. The last run
was scored in the seventh. when Bradley
doubled and Lajoie tripled. The nearest that
the WashingtonS came to scoring IN the
game was In the eighth inning, when Dono-
van walked and Clarke singled, but neither
could get past third base. Only four hits
were made off Mr.. Donohue. and they were
scattered in as many innings. The score:
