GEORGETOWN HAS
A CRACK PITCHER
Fordham Unable to Hit May
ock's Delivery and Goes
Down to Defeat.

Georgetown University vanquished Ford
ham College yesterday afternoon upon
Georgetown Field by score of s to /. The
overwhelming victory was a great surprise
to many of the admirers of the local team,
as 1t had been expected that the lads from
Harlem would have the men Of the Blue
and Gray on their mettle during the con-
test II they were to win. But things
turned out just as they do now and then
the fayorites go wrong. But throughout the
contest Fordham gave their local admirers
no chance to see any of the Championship
material which was shown on the visit of
the team of the institution last season,
when it trimmed the Blue and Gray team
to a turn.
But Yesterday Fordham had quite ques-
ton upon her hands to solve. Young
Mayock was on the slab for the locals.
1t was his first turn, and when he took
his place a Fordham batting streak was
the next thing in order in the minds Of
many Of the fans. But they proposed to
keep still and allow the young slab artist
to show what was in him. And he was
equal to the emergency. Eagan, the Har-
lem center fielder, famed, and Rudolf and
Capt. Hartman were easy outs.

one another and whispering to themselves

one man was on bases he simply twirled

to convey the impression that ne had a
shell game working with those New York
ers, and what was the use of working
hard? And in the course of the nine in
nings they managed to land upon his deliv-
cry for a total of only five hits. and sew
eral of these were scratches. So cool was
this young pitcher of the local team that
1t was rare when the crowd was aroused
to the extent of making a comment upon
the plays in the way Of cheering.
Although the Blue and Gray had four err
rors to their credit, this did not worry
Mayock In the least. Many Of the fans
wondered why Coach O'Hara had not put
the chap in the games that have preceded
for certainly when 1t comes to comparing
his work with that of brennan and Can't

had ended Georgetown had piled up four
runs. The score stood 6 to O In favor of
the local lads, and many thought they
saw big goose egg for Fordham looming
up over the horizon. at the close of the
contest. But in the next inning Fordham
averted the threatened shut-out.
