yesterday would be justified in thinking
that Georgetown had two teams, as the
Blue and Gray players exhibited re-
versal OF form in yesterdays battle that
was startling.
Balzer pitched the first six innings for
the home team and held Ursinus to two
scattered bingles, one of which was a hit
TO short, which the runner beat out at
first. After the sixth ''wab" o'connor
was sent In 10 shoot EN- over, and he did
excellent work also. two singles being
the best the Pennsylvania players could
annex of his assortment of curves.
Horton, who pitched for the visitors.
held Georgetown well In hand after the
second inning, and had it not been for
the bad start which Ursinus got In the
first two rounds. another story might
now have to be told. Horton struck out

errors being about evenly distributed. A
wild throw over first by Stterding and
muff of a slow roller by Cogan were the
only misplays made by the Georgetown
boys, and SitteTdings alone figured in
the scoring CrsInus played a more SEN
sational game In the field, some Of their
PLAYS being especially worthy. In the
second inning Isenberg. at second, robbed
Cogan OF a hit by running nearly to the
bag and stsbbing the Georgetown play

Georgetown Gets Early Lead.
Prodting by their experience of the last
two games, the Blue and Gray players

Murphy was safe when Isenberg toyed
with his slash down TO second. Sitterding
then hit a homer to deep left that went
