Players Out Of Place.

out the contest he played the game at
snort IN way that surprised the wise ones
He made three assists and had two outs
and though he had one error that one 10

also there with the first hit of the game
In the opening inning when he faced Cant

they can DO their best playing. This was
shown by the way they played the game

are considered the George Washington

only three Carr has one to his credit.
Things Looked Interesting.
In the last inning Coach O'Hara sent Joe
Montgomery into the box for Georgetown.
While Mudd took the position behind the
bat. Senior was the first man up and flied
out. Campbell. the next man, got hit to
left field. and the crowd looked for George
Washington to do something in the scoring
line, even though they could hardly be ex-
peeted to come anywhere near the large
score that the Blue and Gray had piled up.
Stevenson, the next man, singled to center.
and with two men on bases 1t looked as II
young Montgomery might make an ascen-
sion but when Burkett sent a fly to center
and Simons ran into second base to COM
plete a double play the side was out and
the boys of the blue and buff had gone
down before the representatives of old
Georgetown.
Simon made a long hit In the second in
Ming when the ball rolled over the en-
bankment and netted home run. He also
beat out a short hit to Hutchinson In the
eighth inning when speed alone saved him.
Smith did not seem to take to Hutchinson's
curves as he has to the deliveries OF the
visiting pitchers. which was a source or
some disappointment to many of those In
attendance, for Smith is about clever a
varsity player that has ever played upon
