Georgetown was overwhelmingly de-
feated in spite Of the good fielding game
which they played. The trouble lay in
their total inability to connect with the
various shoots served up by Mr.. Hey
niger. coupled paradoxically with the
remarkable ease with which the sons
of old Nassau shattered out any and all
offerings TO the outermost edges Of the
outheld. Only once during the entire
game did the wearers OF, the Blue and
Gray have even the slightest vestige
of a chance to score.
This chance came in the eighth inning.
when a pass presented to Devlin, and
two hits by scheller and Smith filled
the sacks with no one out. Hopes thus
created were Immediately shattered,
however, by Heyniger. who smiled non

next three men went out in easy order.
Batting Practice for Tigers.
For Princeton, the game was but lit

bases. and in the seventh Heyniger

Thirteen OF the batsrnen who faced the

exception of Smith, Scheller, and Simon,
each of whom singled. were unable to
do better than feeble pop flies, and weak
grounders. The one department in which
the locals exceIIed, was their hunts.
These they laid down almost perfectly,
but in vain Cooney. Of intercollegiate

IN the field Georgetown played hard
and well. Neither Cantwell who toed

Both Landed in Second.
In the second inning both sides landed
men on the sacks, Georgetown through
