BLUE AND GRAY
BEATS HOLY CROSS
Locals Put Up Fine Fielding
Game and Make Hits at
Right Time.

The Georgetown baseball nine defeated
the Holy Cross team yesterday afternoon
at Worcester. Mass by the score Of
8 to 6. The game was very we'll played
and the crowd attending the match was
very large, there being about 5000 people
present.
The losers made many errors. and they
seemed to be clearly out of action, as
both played hard game, and Georgetown
had her batting eye with her. which
caused the game to turn in their favor
after many miserable plays were pulled
off by Holy Cross.
Devine. for Georgetown. pitched six
innings and was relieved by Balzar.
Georgetown's good hitting alone saved the
game. as the boys from the college were
always on the spot when the hit was
needed.
Mayock, Macdonald and Duffy secured
three two-baggers in the second inning,
which. assisted by Craig's error. gave
the Georgetown team two runs. Holy
Cross forged ahead in the fifth inning
and scored two runs.
In the sixth inning. Dowd, who was
doing the slab work for Holy Cross, be-
gan to strike out the boys from the west
end. and In the seventh he started the
inning with another strike-out. 1t looked
bad for the Blue and Gray lads.
Duffy scored In the eighth inning and
Georgetown began to hit them up. caus-
ing the crowd to shout with excitement.
Rain started during the last half of the
eighth inning, but after little delay the
game was resumed, and with two runs to
their credit in the ninth the Blue and
Gray players easily retired the boys from
Holy Cross.
The boys left Worcester last night at
30 for Washington. after being enter
tained by both Holy Cross and George
town alumni at Worcester.

or course, inasmuch as the presence Oh
a President at the ball game is something
OF a novelty, Mr.. Taft was the center OF
interest up to the sixth inning. But then
he was forgotten. for 1t looked Tor q
time as IL the locals had a chance. One
of the newspaper men covering yester-
days game was so disappointed because
the President didn't jump up and yell
that this morning, In his story OF the con-
test. he quoted the President as saying
bravo when a brilliant play was made.
Anybody who knows Mr.. Taft realizes
that he wouldn't say bravo" which is
used only by fat Italian tenors earning
money in grand opera. He might have
said almost anything else. but it's a
ten-to.one shot he wouldn't have said that
any more than he would have applauded
with his finger nails or said "oh calam-
ity" when a dub muffed a buttered ball.
incidentally, Mr. Taft knows the game,
even if he didn't keep a box score yes
terday.
Mr.. Taft was tempted yesterday. Dur
ing .lul in the game Mr.. Sherman
leaned over into his box and said. Sc
ductively: Say. let's play golf twice q

But Mr. Taft only looked reproachfu
ly at the Vice President.

Business and Props Will Meet Again
at Base Ball.

Tomorrow afternoon on the George
town Prep field the Blue and Gray colts
will clash with the nine from Business
High in the second battle of series of
three arranged for this season. That the
contest will be one for blood is certain. as

BOSTON AGAIN WINS
FROM THE NATIONALS
Locals Put Up Poor Exhibition
and Red Sox Play the
Reverse.

Ineffective pitching poor fielding and
weak hitting by Washington yesterday

by the score of 8 to 4.
Manager Cantillon again sent Dolly"
Gray to the rubber in his effort to get
the youngster started right. but Ill luck
befel the Californian. although he ap-
peared to improve in the final innings
of the game. OF the eleven hits regis
tered OFF Gray at least four belong in the
lucky class. as the Bostonese batters were
trying to kill the ball. and instead laid
down perfect bunts. Hits of this sort
can be ascribed to luck. nothing more
The fielders were lying back. waiting for
drives, and by the time they could run
in and get the ball the speedy Red Sox
would be over the initial bag. Gray had
a wild pitch that let in two runs and
gave three bases on balls. so that he
was somewhat to blame himself. Per-
feet support from the infield would have
helped some, but In the face Of Wash
ington's poor batting 1t is hard to figure
out where the locals had a chance

Boston. and but for remarkable fielding

Then came the fourth inning with It's

crossing the plate in a procession on a
series of lucky hits. Gessler slashed a

Thinks He May Be "Hoodoo," But

Looking on Too Much for the
Home Teams Nerves.

President Taft took yesterday afternoon
OF and went to the ball game. He sat
In box out at the park. with his black
derby hat on the back of his head,
shared a five-cent bag Of peanuts with
the Vice President, saw the Boston
bunch put 1t all over the Cantillon crowd,
rooted mildly. and gave a successful i'm
itation Of a man having q good time.
He dropped in about the middle OF the
second inning, with Capt. Butt. his mil
itary aid. and stayed until the finish.
When the crowd saw Mr.. Taft coming it
stood up and howled. but the President
didn't put on any lugs. He just lifted his lid
proceeded to find his box and forget the
world and It's worries. But he didn't
see much Of a game. as the final score
was s to 4. and the Nationals were
never in 1t for a minute.
Mr.. Sherman sat in the next box. and
every now and then he'd lean across the
low railing and illuminate the scenery
with some statistics from his box score.
Mr.. Taft didn't keep one. But the Vice
President is such a regular out-and-outer
OF a fan that his presence at ball game
is never specially noticed. He roots with
the rest, and in the pinches helps lot
with his famous Utica hoot. 1t was only
last week that. at a critical period, some
stranger in the rear gave Mr. Sherman a
fierce, slap on the shoulder and yelled
joyously, "Oh. you Jim, wasn't that a
grand wallop?" And Mr. Sherman. meyer

never invited to play, and couldn't spare
the time to watch other people perform.
Before Mr.. Taft went out to the park
Yesterday he and Capt Butt took horse
