OVER GEORGETOWN
Crimson Lads Come Out on
Top in Warm
Contest.

AS at their meeting last year. the Har-
ward and Georgetown teams fought .
hotly contested game, but the result OF
the clash yesterday afternoon on the
Georgetown Field was different. as the
Crimson boys won by a score Of to l
in nine innings, whereas last year II
went for twelve rounds and ended In q
tie, 2 to 2.
With both twirlers working over time
in an effort to pull off what IL consider
ed the hardest game the local team has
TO contend with each season. and the
crowd, consisting of great many Har-
ward alumni. keeping up the spirits OF
their favorites with their yells, the con-
test resulted in pitchers battle through
out.
The crowd was the largest OF the sea-

players up to high pitch. Included in
the rooters were a number OF the Prince

the Crimson boys in their cheering.
Same Pitchers.
Capt. Cantwell, who was pitted against
Hartford in the battle royal last year.
was on the rubber again yesterday. while
the Harvard man again opposed him.
Taking the game, all in all. the George
town man had a slight advantage over
his opponent. as he famed thirteen bat
ters, gave a base on balls and made a
wild pitch. while Hartford famed eleven
batters and gave four bases on balls.

pitch, however, proved costly. as the two
runs Of the visitors resulted from the

was labeled for at least two sacks, but
Dana was there with his gloved hand
and landed the leather. Currier. who

work was done by Duffy and Mcdonald.
