TIGERS WIN FROM
LOCALS IN A WALK
Georgetown Badly Beaten by
Princeton.

He did 1t for love of old Nassau. That Is
the story. Ralph Byram is his name. He
is famous at Princeton where he has
played upon the varsity base ball
team for two years. Georgetown got
one hit off his marvellous delivery
Princeton won by a score of to
l. The Tigers played like veterans and
never once did they slack up in the mar
Vicious team work until the last George
town man had been retired in the ninth
hiring. The way Byram sent the sphere
over the plate seemed though it was
chain lightning, and the way the mighty
hitters of the Blue and Gray, who have
batted out eleven straight victories, famed
the air was sweet to the heart of the
Princeton undergraduates who had come
from New Jersey to root for their college
chums.
Sixteen Georgetown University batters,
including the heaviest hitters struck out
time and again, and it seemed as though
Byram was a puzzle which they would
never learn to solve. Even Hart, the cap
tam OF the Blue and Gray, who has on
many occasions started Georgetown's scor-
Ing by long hit, famed on one occasion
ana as he turned from the plate to go
back to the bench had a puzzled look on
his face, seemingly as if he did not under
stand how 1t all had occurred.
Hart is what one could call a natural
hitter and 1t is no wonder he had the dazed
look on his face, but to the spectator in
the grandstand just back of the plate all
was apparent. Bryan was shooting them
over like cannon balls and as they crossed
the plate the drops would sometimes seem
to drop a foot, and the outshoots were
some of the most remarkable ever seen on
Georgetown University field. Behind the
bat was Cooney the big captain and tackle
of last years varsity foot ball team, and
the perfect understanding between him and
Byram did much to win the game for the
Tigers. Cooney is marvel when a pitcher
has to be steadied, and this was readily
seen when Georgetown upon several oc-
casions had men upon the bases and the
props in the grandstand were yelling like
Commanches in their attempts to rattle the
Princeton pitcher. Cooney would calmly
walk to the pitchers box after an out and
after coaching Byram would return and
the work of strike-outs would continue
The lone bleacherite who has worried the
Georgetown props by his mournful calls of
poor old Georgetown" after each bad play
of the Blue and Gray made his appearance
again yesterday afternoon, and during the
entire game every now and then in the tone
of a mournful dove he would call out the
words which he knew were digging so deep
into the heart of the Georgetown men
Byram Is also one of the best batters in the
colleges today, and when he knocked his
homer the Princeton rooterss nearly went
wild with Joy. brennan also pitched a
good game for Georgetown University and
has three strike-outs to his credit, but
he did not receive the faultless support that
the Tigers gave Byram. McGettigan at
short has three errors to his credit, and all
were costly. Smith at third mas one, as has
brennan and Hanretty.
In the first inning Forsythe, for Prince
ton, flied out to White. Helm walked and
moment later was caught off first by a
