VICTORY AWAY
Errors and Bases on Balls Gave
. Game to Georgetown in the
Tenth Inning.

1t took the Georgetown University team
ten innings to down the George Washing
ton University team yesterday afternoon
at Georgetown Field. when the Blue and
Gray pulled off a victory by a score Of I
to o, Sam Simon driving out single in
the tenth with the bases loaded.
The contest was a comedy of errors and
sensations catches. The downtown team
had the game practically won, when ap-
parently they decided that they had not
scored their usual amount of errors, which
resulted in the West Enders tying the
score and finally winning out. Montgomery
began the pitching for the Blue and Gray,
and for five innings was invincible, as only
one hit had been scored against him, and
he had famed five batters. He had the
losers completely at his mercy, but IN the
next inning he went to pieces and the Buzz
and Blue boys started their scoring. Can't
well, who supplanted him in the seventh
with three men on bases, did much better.
Titus twirled the entire game for George
Washington and did fair work, holding the
Georgetown sluggers to eight hits, but the
several bases on balls he allowed proved
very costly. His best work was when he
held the batters in check with the bases
full. In the fifth he forced Scheller to
send up pop fly to Campbell with three
men ready to get home. Courtney's catch
a runner on base was corker. Brennan
also made a fine catch, coming in behind
third and getting short foul.
Maloney did the best work for the win
ners with the stick, getting two hits, a
double and single. Simon and Scheller
also got two each. Hester pulled off three
hits for his team. Titus and Campbell got
two each. Byrnes played his usual good
game at the initial sack Courtney and
Devlin also fielded well. For the losers,
Dick Senior pulled down several hard drives
in center.
