SYRACUSE SHUT
OUT GEORGETOWN

For nine innings yesterday afternoon the
blue and gray of Georgetown University
tried to score in the contest with the men
representing Syracuse University, but at
no time were they able to send man across
the rubber. Score, Georgetown D Syracuse
2. To say that the result of the contest
srprsed the wise ones is putting it mildly,
but at time during the contest were the
men from the heights upon even what
might be termed the proper speaking ac-
Quaintance with the curves served by
Davis. the big husky pitcher who was on
the slab for the Syracusians. True enough
the men Of the blue and gray have six
hits to their credit, but at time were
they able to bunch them in a way that
would have meant the batting out OF
enough runs to have tied or possibly won
the contest. Every one being of the opinion
that the locals would win the contest lit
tie concern was taken when Montgomery
took his place on the slab to pitch for the
Georgetown aggregation. The fans did not
see the use of protesting, for 1t was con-
ndently believed that the Blue ard Gray
men were going up against an aggregation
that had been beaten a good and plenty
this season, and that the only thing to do
was to keep quiet and not annoy the local
batsmen while they batted out victory
The whole idea seemed feasible When
the first batter faced Montgomery he was
found to be Rutherford, the little short
stop of the visiting team, and when every
one was looking for him to fan out he
nailed the ball over the Hill in deep center
field for home run The next three play
ers went out-Wilbur, Ryan and Scully
in the order named the first and the last
sfrfFfnP out Still things looked easy and
the blue and gray supporters were of the
opinion that Syracuse had one run more
than they ought to have, but still they
would have to make the most of that single
four-base hit, while the Blue and GRAY
gave Davis the sight Of batting streak
such as he would keep In mind for some

man up. and when the Syracuse pitcher
had about sized him up the New York
collegian began sending them over like
lightning In the shape of all kinds or
shoots. Devlin promptly hit a pop up TO
left field and one man was out
Duggan famed. Two out. SchelIer was
passed to first on four bad balls, and Smith
got hit to left field. Then Georgetown
1t seems he did not have any such fnten-
tons, for Mahoney only managed to hit
an easy one to the pitcher, who threw him
out at first Thus the game went on until
10 get Wheeling across the rubber on two
hits. 1t seemed after this, as in the
greater number of innings before that both
SIDES We're content to go out in one. two,
three order. Then In the ending Of the
sixth inning the score was 2 to o in favor
of Syracuse. and the Georgetown collegians
seemingly could not break the charm that
the New Yorker had thrown about them
Still both sides played an errprIess game,
and many thought that thodgh George
town seemed to be toying with
their opponents still they could not
score. Then in the eighth inning
the blue and gray men went out
as fast they could come to the bat
Davis was still pitching them over In great
shape and Georgetown was unable to land
on his delivery. The ninth passed in the
same fashion and the contest went to the
visitors The only change made in the line
up of the players during the contest was
in the third inning. when Eddie DuxRan
was substituted by Coach O'Hara for Mono
ham, who struck out in the second inning.
and whose method OF hitting was evidently
not up to what the coach thought was the
proper way OF batting. The score:
