When Georgetown takes the field

of winning. Despite the fact that the
local collegians had TO fight up hill
nearly all the way of that Z TO tie
played between those teams on George
town Field yesterday. all Of the men
are today declaring that the favorable
form reversal of their pitchers VIII make
a vast difference in the team and that
Princeton'S showing yesterday VIII nave
10 be greatly improved upon TO keep II
IN the running tomorrow. Balzer Will
in ali probability work for Georgetown
and either White or Cunningham for
Princeton.
Neither this season nor last has d
game on Georgetown Field created as
much excitement as that contest yeSter-
day. It was just that kind Of game
mat folk like 10 watch, first one team
leading. then the other, not more than
two points separating them at any time
Scores on Errors.
It was an error on an easy chance
that gave Captain Murphy, who scored
the tieing run, a life at first. II was a
wild pitch that allowed him TO cross the
plate from third after two were out
and two strikes and nothing on the bat

seemed erratic during the early stages
of the game, but toward the end set
tied down and looked sure winner.
Murphy. the first batter up in the ninth,
hit a slow grOundeF to second. War
wick came in on the bail and nabbed IT,.
but threw badly to first pulling the
first baseman on the bag. Sltterding
popped q foul 20 the catcher. MurpE 3
stole second and went 10 third on Meme
fees lnfield out. With TWO and nothing
on the batter, Greenbaum attempted a
low out curve on the outside corner.
The ball took an extremely wide break
and went away out OF the reach or the
catcher. Murphy amhled in with the
tieinE run. The batter famed on the
next pitched ball
Gray pitched for Georgetown and did
remarkably well. He has a loose hEa-
menf i'm the shoulder OF his tWlrlinS
arm which has caused him trouble for
nearly a year and Coach GrillO realized
he was taking a gambling chance by
putting the former nigh Schooi man on
the mound. For the first four innings
Gray worked as well as ne ever has
Ffis spit ball worried the whole Tiger
team and more than one stepped across
the plate I'm attempting 20 connect with
his wide shaTp-breaklng OutcurNe- That
loose feeling i'm his shoulder made good
pitching difficult and il was only a mat
ter of time when his effectiveness would
disappear. However lie managed TO 90
through eight innings and would have
finished II up had II not been deemed
wiser 20 let Harhar take his place at
the bat in the eighth inning Nymard
pitched the ninth. Only hree men faced
him and all famed.
Show Improvement
Each game shows a marked improve
ment in the Georgetown team, and
strengthens the belief that, with cap
able corps of pitchers il would be one
OF the fastest sEEreGations in the EdsI.
In no same this year has -ha blue end

while 10 has averaged a fraction over
eight runs per game The OUttielders
seem sOrely in need OF practice on
Founders. but at the bat and on flies
have so far proved as good, # not bet
ter, than their opponents. Around the
infeld the men are going at a fast clip
Wild throws have been comparatively
few this season and the manner In
which the men get that ball away from
