busy renewing aequaintances. and from
ten minutes spent with Germany one

privileges OF Michigan.
The Detroit club fears the Washington
team much more than 1t did the Athlet-
les, because Mack's crowd is crippled,
while Washington is playing the best
ball in its history. McAleer hopes to
clean up here through the effectiveness
OF his pitchers The Tigers are not hit
ting so well as they usually do and their
fielding has been erratic. The Tiger
pitchers are not any too strong, all Of

planned Il. He attempted TO so on the

when Johnson made his appearance, ac-
eompaned by a squad Of police officers,
and pointed out Sig Hart as his official
representative, Little was told 10 stand
aside
II don't want you on that door -
shouted Johnson angrily at Little: you

'Includes parts Of game.

With only one man soaking the leather
over 800. it is not to be pondered over why
the Georgetown team failed to make its
usual good showing this season. Hitting
wins more games than good pitching;
that is. d bunch OF hefty batters are more
desirable than one star twirler This has
been demonstrated time after time, when
three good hitters coming up In success
sion have sent good twirler 10 the
bench. Georgetown had neither a good
pitcher that could win nor a row of bat
ters, so got the short end of most of
the games. O'Connor rounded into form
just in time to brace UP the Hilltoppers
for their final battles, but 1t was too late
the majority of the big games were
over.

This is absurd, but he can bring an ac-

Looking back over the scorebook, it is
surprising to note the number of games
that Capt Murphy won by his daring
work on the sacks. In the Eastern con-
tests Murphy stole home in the ninth
inning and tied the score, after stealing
second and third. Georgetown winning
the game in the tenth. In no less than
three other battles he got on base, stole
second and third, and later scored with
either the winning or the tieing run.
Such a man is a valuable asset to any
club, and, allowed to play the game In
his own way, VIII win many a game by
his daring work that otherwise would go
10 the other side.

Hunt, while getting off to a bad start,
finished strong with the willow and was
conceded first place in batting by those
who have closely followed the Blue and
Gray team While Hunts fast work in
getting down to first aided him in some
instances when he hit weak rollers to the
inheld, yet he easily led the team In long
hits, with Murphy a runner-up.
