Georgetown vanquished Yale yesterday
afternoon at Georgetown field by to 1.
in the only game which wiz be played
between the two universities this season.
The contest developed into one of the
most interesting exhibitions of college
baseball seen on a local diamond this
spring, and not until the last man was
out ln the ninth inning did Georgetown
have the game clinched. After scoring ia
the second inning, Georgetown allowed
Yale to tie thu score in the first half OF
the seventh, but came back in the last
half of the same round with the run
which won.
Tom Cantwell was the West Enders'
hero After being hammered to all cor
ners of the lot last Saturday by Prince
ton, the elongated twirler pitched star
bali yesterday, and it was due almost
entirely to his clever box work that the
local collegians were able to defeat the
Ellis. He allowed only three hits ana
struck out nine batters.
That Yale did not win was no fault of
Meyer. who was in the center of the dia-
mond for the New Havenites. The young
tWrler pitched steady bah. and even the
erratic work at times of his team mates
did not seem to worry him. for he came
through the nine innings with the satis-
faction of not having an earned run
scored against him.
