Georgetown University opened its
baseball season yesterday afternoon on
Georgetown Field in a blaze of glory
defeating the Catholic University team
by Is to 0 in a seyenth-inning session, A
large crowd OF enthusiastic roOters
turned out for the game.
The Catholic University boys were
held in rather high esteem by Coach
OHara and he gave his men instruc-
tons 10 90 right after the same from
the start The showing made in the
first inning indicates that his under
studies were not disobeying orders.
Montgomery Does Well.
Catholic University was first AT bat.
Joe Montgomery was working on the
slab for Georgetown and his prelimin-
airy work foretold the results that were
10 be obtained as a result Of his selec-
ton for opening the 1897 schedule OF
games The boys from BTOokland went
out in one, two. three order. Georgetown
came in and Deviin, the first man up,
was given his base on balls Canale, the
Catholic University twirler, seemed to be
in rather poor form for he could not To-
cate the plate All the Blue and Gray

runs.
Devine was sent to the slab by
Georgetown in tie fourth inning and

Georgetown scored three runs IN the
second inning on hits by Scheller and
Burns and errors by CUmmiskey and
Simms for Catholic University.
Things went along peacefully until the
fourth inning, when the visitors went

inning, ana il was of him that the Wis
it0rs secured their only nit Crook. the
first man to face him. smashed a ter
rife grounder TO Devlin, who made a
pretty One-hand stop and tossed him
out at first. II brought the crowd to
their feet. and the second baseman de-
served all the applause he received
Kane, who had relieved Simon in the
center garden, misjudged Cummiskey' S
high fly. The ball went over his head,
and Cummiskey reached second before
the ball could be returned. The visitors
little shortstop stole third, but the
Brooklsndites lost their only chance 70
score when ZaunelI famed
Georgetown played an erTOTless game,
and this speaks well for the 1907 George
town men. The work of Captain Smith
at third and Byrne at first. also the bat
ting of the latter, were features.
Crook made a fine catch for his team
in the sixth inning, saving what prob
ably would have been a home run by
Byrne. The failure of Rube Clark tC
show up was a disappointment TO the
Catholic University. as they had relied
on him TO hold Georgetown down to a
low score.
