GEORGETOWN TURNS
TRICK ON TIGERS
Blue and Gray BatterS Re-
turn to Form and Pound
Ball Hard.

The Blue and Gray clad baseball war
riors of Georgetown turned the tables
on Princeton at Georgetown Field yester-
day by twisting the tigers tail for a sum
total of 10 runs and allowing the latter
10 score but 2.
Aided by the efforts Of a brass band
which blared forth encouragement TO
the locals each time they came to the
bat. the team on the hill showed a com
plete reversal Of form over the miser-
able exhibition put up against the same
team on Saturday that created Joy in
che hearts of its followers in exact ratio
70 the surprise of the visitors.
Princeton Over-Confident.
Princeton went into the game with
smiling confidence, fully expecting TO do
dreadful things TO Montgomery, who
was delegated 10 spin EN- over for
Georgetown To their surprise, how
ever. the shoots and Blenders offered up
by the Blue and Gray slabman were
most elusive. Six hits were the best
the sluggers Of Saturday were able 10
drive out. and these were so well scat
tered that only in the third inning did
the Nassau runners cross the home pan.
in addition 10 their inability to hit the
ball at the right time, Princeton was
woefully weak In the field. Error after
error was made by the Tiger infeld-
ers. and all of them We're costly. Even
Cooney was affected by the general
slump. and allowed several heaves to
get by him, one Of which resulted in a
run.
The Georgetown team was on its toes
every minute and although Smith. the
. captain of the team, fumbled one, and
made three wild heaVes TO the initial
sack, his OVeTZealousness was more
than made up for by the brilliant play
