Goodwillie's effective pitching proved
stumbling block in the path of the
Georgetown team yesterday, and Cornell
had little trouble defeating the Blue and
Gray aggregation, to 2, in long
drawn out contest. The visiting twirler
famed nine batters, and until the last
two sessions was practically invincible,
only twenty-one men having gone TO the
bat against him IN six innings, but in
the seventh and eighth rounds he weak
ened, and the Hilltoppers took advan-
tage Of his witness, and with Murphy's
homer chased two runners across the
plate.
| Wymard was selected to do the can
lnonading for Georgetown. and plugged
away in fairly good form for four rounds.
when he started to heave the ball Wild,
and the visitors commenced to lambast
the leather Only seven hits were made
by the Ithacans in the seven and third
innings Wymard was on the mound, but
he passed seven 10 first and hit a man,
besides making two wild pitches. That
is enough to lose any game, no matter
how light the batting.

was the only long swat of the game.

who, by the way is a well-known local
light, had a good day. although he made
the only error chalked up on the board
against his club.
Towards redeeming playing was with
the wagon tongue. and he hit the ball
good and hard for two safeties. one of
them double which scored the first
tally for Cornell Howard also drew a
base on balls and made a sacrifice fly.
Georgetown played poor ball in the
field. their work at times being positively
foolish. In the sixth inning, to cite an
instance. two were out and there were
two on bases. Rutherford hit a hard
bounder to Cogan. which he picked up in
good enough style. and instead OF throw
ing 20 first, as every one expected him
to do. he threw TO Gibson, who was at
second. and Gibson dropped the ball. a
man scoring from third on the play

Duffy. who was catching for the Blue
and Gray, threw TO second when Ruthef-
ford started to steal the throw being
wild. and another score coming in from
third. The batter was retired, and II
the ball had been held, one run would
have been saved

Georgetown made two good double

first one came in the opening round.

To illustrate the way in which the game
was lost by the Hilltoppers. the case Of
Magner is good food for thought. Mag
ner was at bat five times. made a hit.
and drew four passes. and every base on
balls allotted to him was turned into a
run. he being twice ferried around
from first to third on a wild pitch.
