100000 pounds sterling went pay officials.

Cantwen was a puzzle to the batters of
the men on George Washington University
yesterday afternoon upon Georgetown Field,

town won by the score OF Z TO l. For
eight innings the batters OF the Buff and
Blue vainIy tried to land upon his delivery,
but each time the curve seemed to be just
elusive enough 20 allow the ball to escape

last man was out in the next TO the last
inning George washington had made ex-
actIy two hits of mis- delivery One of
these was single by Price and the other
a three-bagser to deep center field by Or

Titus was on the slab for George Wash

inning, when Georgetown batted out four
runs with as many hits, tire Buff and Blue
pitcher did not seem to mind this in the
least and as the contest advanced he seemed
to improve AS it was. at the finish OF the
contest, he had held the Blue and Gray
batsmen down to nine hits, out of which
they managed to CLEAN seven scores. TAX

was not half bad. True, Georgetown smack
