Trinity College barely eked out vic

at Van Ness Park yesterday afternoon
by to s. in eight innings.
George Washington was wOefuily weak
with the stick in the early stages of the
game, getting its first hit, an infeld
single by Carr. in the fifth inning But
thereafter they pounded the ball hard
when hits meant runs, getting two safe
ties of Lane in the sixth inning, and
FIVE of Webb in the seventh and eighth
sessions.
On the other hand, Trinity nit the
bali hard throughout the game. getting
at least one hit in each inning. but the
batting Of the North CaTOlinians was
not as timely as that of the Hatchetites.
as is evidenced by the fact that they
made fifteen hits, while the locals could
connect for only eight.
The visitors made. two runs in the
sixth and three each IN the seventh
and eighth innings. but in its half of
these innings George Washington hung
gamely on, driving the same number Of
runs across the plate in each inning.
