i IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
!: BASE BALL-RAC1NG-TENNIS- ROWING-~BOWL1NG !:
BLUE AND GRAY
WALLOPS FORDHAM
Devine a Big Puzzle and His
Support Was Gilt
Edged.

Georgetown put kink into the college
championship aspirations of the crack
Fordham College team yesterday when.
under the guidance of the excellent pitch
ing of Southpaw Harry Devine. it trim
med the New Workers by 4 to /. 1t was
the first time in three years that the Hill
toppers have annexed a game from the
Garnet and Gray, and, Furthermore, was
the first game of the season lost by that
team. which was fresh from victories over
Princeton and Trinity
Four hits were all that the visitors
could steal from the delivery of Devine
His slow ball. which he used almost eN
clusively had them puzzled right through
the game. With perfect support the game
should have been a shut-out, with but
three hits for Fordham but msjudged
fly by Mayock in the sixth sent one fnan
over the plate for the visitors only score
The game was rather listless for the
first four innings. Egan, the lad who
has been an enigma for almost all the
eastern college teams for several years.
was on the rubber for Fordham, and for
four sessions the Blue and Gray stickers
could not locate his speed and curves,
other than few easy taps, which were
easy picking for the fielders.
But the ice cracked up in the fifth. after
Duffy had been put out. Sitterding drew
pass and scored clean double to
right center by Callahan. Egan was
bit worried and walked Devine in con-
sequence, and the pitcher went home on
hard liner off Murphy's bat to right.
A hard drive into left by Schafy counted
Murphy. but the right fielder died on the
sack when Simon flied out to Egan and
Mayock was nipped by McCafferty.
This was enough, however. to sew up
the game. as the later innings proved.
In the sixth Gargan let go by a slow
grounder toward third and tailed the
visitors first hit but he was forced out
at second. In the seventh with one down
Schleiss was passed took second on
wild pitch and scored when Mayock
dropped Jackson's high one back OF sec
ond
Devine got into bad hole in the
eighth but the scoring of Coffee who
had been passed. was nipped at the plate
by a pretty throw-in by Schafy after
catching Scanlon's drive. There was the
usual squabble with the Jump. but he
was settled. In the last half of the
eighth Georgetown added one more on
hits by Simon and Mayock and a wild
heave by Egan. Fordham threatened in
the ninth. but Devine frightened up and
struck out Gargan,. with a man on third

MORNING GAME PROBABLE.
Georgetown Wants Second Princeton
Game In the Forenoon.


If Manager Stuart's efforts meet with
success the base ball game scheduled
between Princeton and Georgetown for
Monday next will be started at 1890 a. M
The Blue and Gray leader Is in Annap-
oils today endeavoring to get the con-
sent Of the Tigers to change the lime of
playing. and it is very probable that per-
mission will be given.
Such a game will, if it is played be a
great novelty in local collegiate circles
but the shift in time cannot help but
meet with approval from the numerous
fans who are anxious to see both the
HilltOppers contend with Princeton and
the opening battle Of the Ma. ionals
Then, too. as Easter Monday is practi-
cally a holiday, time will lay heavily
on the hands Of sportdom unless some
kind of an athletic contest be on the
cards in the forenoon. 1t will be the
attempted by the lads across the creek,
but it will. no doubt. meet with the ap-
prevail of all supporters of the school
Because of the large demand for tick
cts to the first Princeton game of Sat
urday, when Logan Cunningham will
probably make his debut to his local
friends as a varsity base ball star. Man
ager Stuart has decided to place them on
sale down town. So from now on grand
stand seats can be obtained at Whites
are playing the Navy at Annapolis today,
and tomorrow will meet Virginia at Char
lottesville, which means that they will
be in fine fettle for the first of the annual
battles with the Blue and Gray.
The victory over Fordham yesterday has
put a whole lot of extra pep into the
West End aggregation. as its chances for
coping the intercollegiate championship
are now better than ever before in num-
Der Of years. In past seasons Princeton
has usually been a thorn in the Hilltop
pers' side. but there is very little fear of
defeat around the old school today. BY
Sunday a first-class line will be had on
the teams ability. and a lot of opinions
may be expected from the press. as al
ready the New York papers are booming

SENATORS WIN AN
INTERESTING GAME

The Medical base ball team of George
Washington University was defeated for
the first time this season by the Senators
from the United States Capitol.
Both teams fielded remarkably we'll, con-
sidering the fact that during the whole
game the wind blew clouds Of dust in
the players eyes.
Shea, the first man to do box work for
the losers. was badly handicapped with
a sore arm, and consequently the Sem
ators were able to secure good lead
Travis, who succeeded him, was in his
usual form and held the winners to two
hits during the remainder of the game.
The same two teams meet again on the
east diamond ON the Monument lot next
Wednesday and an interesting game is
expected.
The Medical men have also arranged
games for Thursday and Saturday Of
next week. The score:

MUTES WAKE UP.
Defeat Washington College in Well
PLAYED Game.

The Gallaudet nine sprung surprise
In local base ball circles when the Mutes
downed the Washington College team at
Kendall Green yesterday afternoon by
the score of toS3.
Dillon. who served them over for Gal
lsudet. was largely responsible for the
victory. as the Chestertown lads found his
delivery exceedingly puzzing. On the
other hand. Baden. who twirled for the
visitors. was hit hard from the start. and
il was only the excellent backing up he
received from his team mates that kept
down the score.
Gallaudet put the game on ice in the
opening session by taking advantage of
the visitors errors and lining out timely
bingles. scoring three runs. a lead which
could not be overcome by the Washing
ton College lads. In the ninth the Ches-
tertown boys looked the most danger
Gus. and threatened to tie up the score.
Dillon. however. frightened up and let
them down with lone tally in this In
ming. one short OF tieing the score.
