Georgetown triumphed over Virginia
yesterday on Georgetown Field by ]
to 0. The Blue and Gray supporters con-
slider the vanquishing of their Southern
rivals one of their greatest athletic feats
and the game will 20 down in the his
tory Of Georgetown as a redlette- event
Long before the time to call the game
the stands were filled with ardent root
ers OF both teams that vera 10 struggle
for supremacy and between the various
college yells and the strains of popular
airs set forth by the Gonzaga Band,
those in attendance were well cnItr-
tanned
The feature Of the game was the SUI
perb pitching OF Tom Cantwell. The tall
Georgetown slaD artist was In fine ret
lie and had the opposing batsnnen com
pletely at his mercy. Three hits were
all that the heavy hitting team from
Virginia could gather off his delivery
and these were so widely separated that
not a Virginia man could get any far
Their than second base. Susong. the lad
who did things to Georgetown a few
weeks ago In Charlottesville, was sent
to the firing line by Coach Tom Brown
in the hopes Of adding still another game

and would have won an ordinary game,
but when pitted against the article OF
pail Cantwell was pitching he had a slim
chance. Honors must be given 10 Can't
well IN the pitchers battle. for, although
ne only struck out four men to Susong's
six. he did not issue a base on balls nor
hit man. both Of which faults can be
laid TO the twirling Of Suscng.
Thom's Throw Wide.
Maloney's three-bagger in the second
inning wen the game for Georgetown.
The sphere scared high over Daltons
head, and in the relay to third to catch
the feet Georgetown man. Thorn threw
the ball high over Hof's head; the lone
tally Of the game resulting
Virginia did not get a hit until the
third inning, when Susong, the third
man up, caught the ball squareIy on
the nose and sent it sailing to deep
right. Fast fielding on the part of ST.
mon, however. kept the pitcher on first
base, where he died when Honaker
struck out.
Georgetown had a good chance TO add
run 10 their total in the fourth.
when, after two were down, Byrnes
slashed single to left and stole second.
The hest Scheller could do was to strike
out, however. Virginians' hope rose high
in the fifth only to fall with an awful
crash. Johnson, he of football fame,
and to whom Georgetown's defeat last
fan can be attributed, poked a safe one
out to left field. Mudd let the next hall
get away from him and the ex-haIfback
purloined the second sack. CantweIl en-

less than FIVE times. but the initial sack
er was too fast for him. Maddux struck
out and Woodson ended the agony Of
Georgetown by going out on an easy
pop up 10 Scheller.
Wretched work on the bases lost an
other run or two for Georgetown in the
seventh. After two had persisted Schel

down toward second and Maddux. who
was substituting at the position, booted
the ball, and both men were safe. Dew
lin followed CantwelTs example and sent
another one down in the same diree
ton and the husky second baseman
made a mess Of whatsshould have been
another easy out. Scheller was not SAT-
isfied with getting third. but instead
made an attempt at reaching home.
Maddux threw the ball to woodson and
the Georgetown shortstop fell by the
wayside.
Hoff Hits Safely.
Hoff. Virginia's first man up in the
seventh, hit safely to center. but was
