"There Is no Joy on the hilltop" ex-
actly fits the situation at Georgetown
to-day. for the Blue and Gray baseball
team was humbled by Catholic Univer-
sity yesterday afternoon at Georgetown.
Field, 9 TO l. Georgetown was outplayed
from start to finish in every department
Of the game, and was lucky TO score, an
error being responsible for their only
tally.
Before Green, Georgetown was power
less to connect with the ball with any
degree Of success, and when the sphere
was located the Catholic University
players gobbled the horsehide up in SEN
sational style and nailed the runner,
Green was steady in every inning but
one. the sixth, when he walked two men.
and an error filed the bases; but owing
to a poor play by Dugan in trying to
steal home. the Chief" got away I'M
scratched in this chapter. He then set
tied down to even better work. eight Of
the Hilltoppers going down and out by
the strike-out route, and two hits being
the best they could do with his benders.
FIanneFy Bumped Hard.
Flannery started the game for George
town, but was given such an enthusiastic
| reception that he was trotted TO the club
house at the end of the first round and
| Balzer was sent out to do the fiinging.
Five runs resulted from the bOmbarding
of Flannery. two costly errors on the
| part Of COgan and Sitterding helping the
opposition. Balzer did well for FIVE in-
nings. although ne displayed his usual
! unsteadiness in every round. In the
| seventh the university lads scalped
smoke" and Iced the game, three runs
being showed across on two hits and three
errors, two of which Balzer made him
self.
| The HilltOppers were far from being up
to form in the field, their seven errors
| doing a great deal Of damage in direct
contrast TO the misplays Of their oppon-
ents. The whole inneld had an unstable
/ appearance. and the errors were SO dis
7 tributed that each man had hand in
the pie Five of the six misplays on the
part OF the winners were made by their
shortstop, Kelly, who had a bad day
splashing around the short position
] None Of, his errors were costly. as they
came in most instances with two hands
down The sixth error was made by Left
/ Fielder Clancy and was the result OF
+ overcoa6dence when a fl was hit to his
territory. Had he caught the ball, IL
would have made the third out n the
last inning. and would have secured
shut-out against the Hilltoppers.
Menefee made his appearance behind
the bat for the first time since he injured
his knee and caught a good game. only
two stolen sacks being melted by the
University nine. Gould did nothing at
the bat. but it was not noticed, as Green
was moving them all down.
Mcdonnell. who caught FOR the winners.
held Green up well, and should share
some Of the credit that goes TO the
Chief" for the victory.
TObin the Star.
Tobin, who covered the second sack for
the winners. covered himself with glory
! by snatching grounders. Founders. flies.
and all others, no matter where they
were hit, and firing them to first in time
to shut of Georgetowners blowing down
the line In several innings he prevented
| Georgetown from scoring by his sensa-
tlonal playing. Widmayer. at third. only
had one chance, which he handled al.
right. but he is full of pepper and ginger.
and looks good Kelly made nearly all
the errors for his side, but has played a.
good game heretofore, and his poor work
can be attributed to his not feeling well.
/ Hessler. on first, is well known 10 the
fans, and played his position in his usual
satisfactory manner.
The Brooklanders had little trouble
picking out their hits and connected with
the leather whenever a bingle was needed.
Tobin excelled at the bat, and made a
triple. a double. and a single out OF his.
five Journeys 10 the pan Mcdonnell made
two singles.
Miss Chance TO Score.
Georgetown threw away a good chance
to gather a couple OF runs in the sixth.
With three on bases, Green hid two
strikes on Feenan and there were two
out. Georgetown was six runs behind,
and one run would have done little good.
but a hit by Feenan, even though it was
only single. would have Melted two runs
and a double three Dugan. who was on
third. evidently took it for granted that
Feenan was going to Whit and legged It
for the plate being caught by ten feet

Catholic University made FIVE runs in
the opening session in short order. After
Devries had famed, Widmayer opened
hostiltles with a clout over first Tobin

Clancy pasted the leather down the third
base line and Cogan threw wild over first

At this time Flannery was waited away
