PRINCETON WINS
FROM GEORGETOWN
Visitors Bunch Their Hits in the
Seventh Inning to cantWeII's
Discontinue.

Georgetown University's nine lost to the
sons of Old Nassau upon GEORGETOWN Uni
yersity Field yesterday afternoon by the
score of to /. But though the men of
the blue and gray lost there was no dis
credit in the defeat, for they put up as
fine an article OF base ball as has ever been
seen upon Georgetown Field. The star
pitchers of both teams were on the slab,
Cantwell for Georgetown and Ralph Byram
for Princeton. When the batteries were an
nouneed the pitchers battle that was later
seen was predicted on all sides. Although
CantweH did not strike out as many men
as his opponent he did nearly as good work,
though he did not succeed in keeping the
hits of the Tigers scattered, which, in the
seventh inning. resulted in the victory for
the Orange and Black. Jim Cooney of foot
ball fame caught for the visitors, and al
ways when Princeton was at the bat he
kept up the coaching that did much to land
victory in tne closing innings of the game.
But Ralph Byram was the man whom the
grand stand was watching. and we'll did
he live up to the reputation which he estab-
lished last season at Georgetown when he
struck out seventeen hatsmen. 1t was the
general belief when Byram went into the
box yesterday afternoon that it was all
over as far as Georgetown was concerned
judging from his performance of last year.
But the wise ones were destined to have
another guess. and the way the eellegians
OF Georgetown went after his delivery was
good to look at. OF course, as the detailed
score shows, there nothing doing in
the matter of hits in the first part of the
game. In the first two innings, instead OF
six strike-outs of last year. Byram did well
to get three to his credit. In the third
inning he had nearly all kinds of trouble,
but finally succeeded in retiring the side
q a
only one the locals made in the contest.
But Byram knew he was playing, for the
Georgetown men never gave up until the
last man In the ninth inning had been re-
tired, Monohan flying out to short. Then
they knew it was all over and Georgetown
gave Ralph Byram the highest praise for
his work
But while telling of Byrams skill. It
must not be forgotten whose hit pulled the
whole Tiger aggregation out of the hole
1 nat man was Bard. the big first baseman
and foot ball man, who has done much
upon the gridiron for his college. Three
times he came to the plate and each time
he got safely to first base. True enough,
once lie went to the first sack through a
fielders choice. but the other times he hit
safely. the first time he soaked" the leath-
er to center fed for single, later scoring
upon a beautiful dash for the plate from
third base. and later, In the seventh. when

moment like a home rum and which would
have been one If the ball had not struck
an obstruction in deep center field. Both
warwick and Bard scored. Cooney tried to
steal third and was caught by Smith on
an assist by Mudd Score:
