TRINITY DEFEATED

True enough, in one inning Trinity did
make what some would call at first glance
at the score a rally. but after one run had
crossed the plate the North Carolinians
could do no more and the side was retired
Then it was that the Georgetowners had
their base ball spirit aroused and before
their half of the fourth inning had closed
they had piled up their only four runs of
the game, but enough to win easily Webb.

LITTLE AND BEHR
PLAY FAST TENNIS

NEW YORK. April 23.-Teams of rank
ing lawn tennis experts continued the COM
petitions in the round robin doubles yes
terday on the st. Nicholas ring court. The
pair composed Of Raymond d. Little and
Karl II. Behr. jr., won the first match Of
the day. They accomplished this result in
straight sets. which produced some thrilling
rallies. Their opponents were Edgar w.
Leonard and Theodore Roosevelt Pell, who
lost by the score Of Ga and IS. The Sec
ond contest Of the day brought together
Beals c. Wright and his brother Irving G.
Wright. against William A. Larned and
George L. Wrenn, jr. The result Of this
match was a victory for the latter pair
after three lively but uneven sets by the
score of Ga, 81 and GO.
The prominence of the players and the
favorable conditions of good light attracted
large and fashionable gallery, and pri-
vate auto cars and handsome equipages
crowded West Goth street until dusk, await
ing the finish of the last match. Among
the most interested spectators was Miss
May Sutton, who declared that the neces-
sarily swift play on the hard canvas sur
face provided une best practice she knew
of for outdoor competitions. Among the
other spectators who applauded the good
shots and slipped tea in the balcony boxes
were Mrs. Lorillard Spencer. jr., Mrs. Law
renee Waterbury, Mrs. 5. &. Brown. MRS.
Norman de r. Whitehouse. Miss Juliet
Adee Miss Wetmore and others.
From the opening service of the first
match Little and Behr played master

their strokes kept the ball going at a dizzy
pace. 1t was in the rallies at the net.
which Leonard and Pell sought from their
side that the veteran Prncetonian and the
younger player from Yale came of with
colors flying. They were in rare form and
their volley shots came off the racquets
with a crispness and accuracy which pro-
duced some clever tennis.
The second defeat for the Wright broth
ers placed them out Of all chance of win
ming a prize In the present tournament
The opposing pair. Larned and Wrenn led
them into all manner Of pitfalls and OUT
Unanswered them generally.
Beals Wright was In better form than on
Saturday, but his game appeared strong
and weak by turns. The most costly error
on the Wright side of the net was the
constant playing Of out strokes by Irving
Wright. Too often the out acted so that it
brought the ball down before 1t reached the
net and the loss Of the ace proved costly.

GEORGETOWN PREPS

The Georgetown Props base ball team
took on the team from Western High
School yesterday afternoon, and won from
1t without much difficulty. score 6 to 1. A
swat by Michael which sent the ball sailing
out of the lot saved the High School boys
from a coat of whitewash. Diamond, who
pitched for the Props, had a good assort-
ment of curves throughout, which proved
very puzzling to the opposing batsmen, ten
having famed.
Erratic fielding on the part of the Westerns
accounts for the large difference in the
score, they having made ten errors on the
easiest kind of chances. The redeeming
feature of the playing of Western was the
superb pitching of Michael. who served
them up for four innings, and did not allow
a single hit. The score:
