GEORGETOWN AGAIN
SHUTS OUT VIRGINIA

The Georgetown University boys must
feel chesty this morning. for yester-
day afternoon they again defeated their
old rival Virginia. IN great game by
the score of ; to .. To beat the boys
from Charlottesville three successive
games in a season is something that has
never been accomplished by the Blue and
Gray crowd and they have a good cause
to feel proud.
/. The clever pitching of Devine for
GEORGETOWN is what defeated Virginia In
the last game of the season between these
two colleges. He worked throughout the
nine innings and could be found for put
three safeties. Carl Walker, VINO hoios
the fine record OF ten straight victories
this season. met his first fall yesterday
He nevertheless worked in good form with
the exception of the sixth inning. when the
bows across the creek punched hits and
totaled three runs, the only TALES of the
game.
All Of the runs were made with two men
the air three times. Duffy swatted one to
Walker. which he found too hot to han
die and the batter reached first. Devine
went down on three straight ones that
crossed the pan, making the second out
but Mess was present with his little stick
and tore off a pretty single which landed
Duffy on third. Walker sent one sailing
over the catcher's head and both men
crossed. This happened to be the fourth
ball on Courtney. and the left fielder drew
up at third base on the wild heave. Nc
Donald followed with a corking double
and Courtney counted. This wound up
the scoring of the game. The best Vir-
second. but there he died in every in

READING DEFEATS LOCAL
UNIONS IN POOR GAME

Inability to hit safely coupled with sew
eral costly errors. cost the local outlaws
to drop the third game of the season to
the Reading club by the score of 3 to 9. i
Despite the fact that many errors were
made the play at times was of the sensa-
tional order. Four double plays were
pulled off and many catches that looked
almost impossible were yanked out of the
air
The chances for a Washington victory
looked exceptionally good in the ninth In
ming but a fast double play nipped it in
the bud. Shaughnessy led off with
scratch hit and Lynch found one to his
liking and drove 1t to deep center on the
line, but Nallin was there with springs in
his feet 1t seemed. and nailed the sphere.
BY quick recovery he slipped 1t to second.
completing a brilliant double.
LOnEstreet was on the rubber for the
home team, and although he did not allow
many hits he was very wild. which fact
helped the visitors to their three runs. At
that, had his team mates given good sup
port he would probably have won his
game Doc. Reisling served them across
for Reading and worked in good form, al
lowing seven hits. but kept them well
scattered, He passed but one man. Each
pitcher sent five men to the bench by the
short route.

Pennsylvania boys their first run In the

team having made four runs. when st.

of the fifth session. but two hits. two
errors and a ht-by-pitched ball in this
inning netted it four runs which won the
game.

batting of Sullivan. Rountree. Becker and
John Humphrey. Humphrey also played
a stellar game at short. taking care of
four assists three of which were ex-
tremely difficult. The game was called at

N. REROLLE TRIUMPHS
IN BILLIARD BATTLE

NEW YORK. April 29.-Edcien Rerolle,
who has won the French anna teur billiard
championship on FIVE occasions and in
cidentally defeated Wilson p Foss In
Paris, made his first appearance in this
country at the Liederkranz Club last
night.
NJ Rerolle was pitted against Ferdinand
Poggenburg Of the Liederkrans Club in
the opening match Of an interna tionaI
amateur Championship tournament at 49,
inch balk line. which ID the frst of. its
kind held anywhere.
NJ. ReroIie won by a score of 100 to 195.
with an average Of II l4-Ss.
Additional interest was conferred In the
nesting from the fact that balls o. the
regulation European size were used in
stead OF those TO which American billiard
lists are accustomed The difference lies in

when Corners hit to the infeld. The lat

short when the ball was being relayed to
first and home. He would probably have
been caught at the meal corner had the
frst sacker- been more accurate In the
throw. A base on balls. a sacrifice and a
single Melted the visitors their second
tally in the second. \ couple of errors
and sacrifice fly counted the visitors
last run in the fourth. The locals got in
one In this inning also. Four wide ones
were presented to McD.rmott and in try

threw wild and the local boy went the

the fact tEG those USED IN the present
tournament are two and three-eighth inch
es in diameter. whereas the American
article is a thirty-second of an inch less.
Ivories Too Heavy.
In adopting the heavier balls the effect
of the climate was overlooked, and that
the two cracks last night were hanpered
was evident from the start. AS George
Slosson. who was present. put it. the
damp atmosphere materially deadens the
worries and to play with a two and three
eighths ivory is Ike hitting a pudding.
In Paris and Chicago. both of which cities
are some miles from the sea, the heavy
ball is all right. but here bail measuring
two and five-sixteenths is quite large
enough
AS the match progressed George Sos-
sons diagnosis of the situation was veri-
fed, as neither man for several innings
was able to make much Roadway. Of
course both were nervous. as was natural.
but this was not solely responsible for the
apparently feeble efforts. Time and again
both the Frenchman and his rival would
play a draw shot only to see the first
object ball roll off at top speed. AS a re-
suit both men became timid and would
not strike with sufficient follow through"
to reach the second ball.
All this may be gathered from the fact
that NJ. -Rerolle. after playing ten innings.
had a total of 81, while Mr. Poggenburg' S
score at the same stage was 40. thanks.
however. to 81 in his tenth inning.
Began to Show Confidence.
The first to warm up to his work and
show signs of confidence was the home
represent alive. and in his eighth. tenth,
twelfth. fourteenth. eighteenth and twen-
ty-first innings by really pretty billiards
he made runs of 49, 81, 2S. "a, p and
40. respectively. The majority of these
terminated directly or indirectly by fail
ure to control the heavy balls in making
a draw.
Mr. Poggenburgs run i'm the twenty
first inning bror~ht his score to 200 to his
opponents 1876. Prior to this the French
expert had seemed afraid to hit the balls
with sufficient strength. and his chief
contributions had been 2S. 30 and a. i'm
the eighth. sixteenth and twentieth in
nings, respectively. During all this time
the game had see-sawed. Mr.. Poggenburg
which was in the thirteenth inning. his
opponent being 20 at this point.
Continuing, the home man showed the
way until the twentieth inning. when NJ.
Rerolle. with A.. ran to 1'6 while his OPP
pOnent was l61. The latter. however. had
300 to his credit while the Frenchman
was making 100. for the twenty-first in
ming.
At the end Of the thirtieth inning the
score was 30o to 265 in favor of NJ.
