Georgetown, 10; Virginia, S.
Yesterday for the first time in FIVE
years Georgetown and Virginia met on
the diamond at Georgetown Field. and
the Orange and Blue of the men from
the Old Dominion was crushed
The game marked the resumption of
athletic relations between the two great
athletic Institutions of the South, and
the occasion was most momentous. The
ola wounds between the universities
have been healed and, cemented by a
feeling of good fellowship, In the friend
ly struggle. the palm of victory went to
the men in the heights.
Uncertainty About Game.
The final arrangements for the game
were not completed until about twenty
four hours before play began, and be-
cause OF the uncertainty the crowd was
rot as large as the ones which were
wont TO go to the Blue and Gray lair
whenever Virginia was the attraction
There was, however, a large attendance
present. and the cheering was the best
of the season.
On the east stand, along the third
base line. We're massed the resident Vir-
ginia alumni and a flock of undergr du-
ates that had followed the team from
Charlottesville
From the time their team took the
field TO the last out In the ninth, the
Virginians never faltered in their sup
port TO their representatives During
the carly part of the contest, when
the Orange AMI Blue had an even
chance for victory. the cheering in the
east stand was almost continuous At
tor 10 NH xxrha
took the game well in hand, the visi-
tors continued to cheer
Real Georgetown Spirit.
Not since the memorable game in the
fall of 1901 has Georgetown team been
so well supported as was the team that
won yesterday. The old spirit that has
been lying dormant asserted itself, and
the cheering was long and loud. Inter
SPersed with the cheers there were
songs of all descriptions. In the last
two sessions, when a Blue and Gray
triumph was assured. the Georgetown
men stood uncovered and sang the ia
nous dirge to soothe the feelings of the
Nirginians.
Neither university had its strongest
team on the field, but the two mines put
up most creditable exhibition of col
played on a post season date robbed
both of the assistance of valuable play
ers Neither Captain Stuckey, of Vir-
ginia. nor Captain Morgan, of George
town, was present The Virginia leader
has been suffering from a weakness of
his eyes for several weeks, and was not
with his team. Because of the serious
illness of his father, Captain Morgan is
at his home in Iowa Several otter fast
players were missing from both line
ups, but il is doubtful if the regulars
could have put up a better game than
their substitutes
Fast Infieloing.
The Georgetown inffeld played gilt
edged ball throughout the contest, while
the makeshft nine CT VirSiIla slipped
up but once during the nine innings
Opposed TO each other on the rubber
were two of the youngest pitchers play
ing with leading teams. Adams, the
former WoodbeTry Forest twirler, who
has won a majority of Virginia's Big
games, served them mp for the visi tors,
but in his duel with Lawrence Tren-
nan, the product OF the Georgetown
Prep School, who has biossomed forth !
as star of the Blue and Gray staff. he
lost cut. !
Close 70 Seventh
Up to the ending of the seventh inning
1t was anybodys game, and the indi-
cations pointed to extra innings to de- |
eide the contest. In the seventh the |
Virginians weakened, and before three
hatters had been retired Gcofgetown |
clinched the game by scoring SIX runs |
and the interest waned
The contest was replete with fast |
fielding, but il was lightning double |
play by McGettigan, Hart ani Martell !
in the sixth inning when Virginia had |
the bases loaded, that was the real |
fielding feature.
Scored in Second
The first inning passed off without any
but in the first half % tie /
second Virginia scored. After Walker
had flied out to center Springer drew a !
base on balls. Adams dumped u neat
bunt in front of the plate, which Dren
nan fielded to second in time to flag
Springer. but Curry dropped tho throw
and the runner went to third. Hart
caught Adams mapping off first and the
pitcher was run down between bases.
With two gone Pollard beat out an in
