NEW YORK. May 11.-Fordham turned
the tables on Georgetown yesterday after
noon at Fordham Field by the score Of
to 2. The game from beginning to end
was a one-sided contest and at no stage
of the game had the visitors a chance.
Fordham took all the ginger and spirit
out OF the Blue and Grey before the game
was far advanced ang gave them the worst
defeat they have received this year. The
weather was trifle cold and had its effect
on both teams.
The visitors were outfielded and outpiay-
ed in every department of the game. while
the Bronx collegiar9 played a brilliant
game. and were especially active on bases.

GOULD LOST
IN TENNIS DOUBLES

LONDON, May 11.-Jay Gould's career in
the international court tennis championship
was cut short yesterday, when he lost the
first doubles match In which he played, at
the Queens Club. His partner was Joshua
Crane. and the pair lost to Andre and For
Iester, a brace of Engiishmen who are ex-
pected to carry off the doubles champion
ship.
Gould and Crane had had only limited
amount OF practice together, and this has
been held by many to account for their de-
feat. Besides. Gould had not entirely re-
covered from his disappointment at the loss
of the singles championship, and as a re-
suit did not play with the confidence he
had shown In his earlier matches.
The young millionaire was the stronger of
the two American players. His famous
railroad" service fooled the Engiishmen
continually. but he was not supported
strongly by Crane. Gould returned most OF
the service sent him by the Britons. and a
his partner.
The son of George T. Gould viii return
shortly to America unless an opportunity
offers for him to play here again. Although
keenly disappointed by his failure to pass
the first round of the doubles. he is not dis
couraged. and wants to get another chance
at the British players. He said today that
he would come to England again next year
