VICTORY OVER JUNIORS MAKES
THEM CHAMPIONS.

The freshman base ball team of George
town College this morning cinched it's
claim on the interclass championship of
the school by scoring a decisive defeat
over the juniors. the final score being 6
to /. Previous to this battle the first year
men had victories credited to them over
both the sophomOres and seniors, so that
their record for the year SO far Is a per-
feet one:
The teams now rank with the freshmen
in the lead. with a percentage of 1000.
the juniors coming next, with one game
Won and one game lost, and the seniors
and sOphonOres in tie for last place, each
class having received one defeat. The
last two mentioned classes intended to
play off their battle this morning, with
the result that there were two games
scheduled to take place on Georgetown
Field. AS was natural, a rumpus of no
small magnitude ensued as to which con-
test would be pulled of first, and so great
was the rivalry and contention that for a
while it looked as though neither game
would be played. The difficulty was
finally settled by the flip of a coin, and
the freshmen and juniors started their
hostilities
The game. as a whole, was extremely
interesting. and, considering the little
time either aggregation had practice6,
the performance was a creditable one.
y number OF the varsity men took part
in the fray. although they usually played
out OF their regular positions.
The first-year men took the lead in the
third inning. when Lamorelle scored
run after walking to first He was adj
| vanced to third by Baillargeons error.
| and came in OH O'Brien's bngle to HeaIy.
| who heayed it to first. The next man
up went down. and further scoring was
l prevented.
| From then until the eighth both sides
were unable to push any runs across
the plate, the pitchers being in excellent
form and well backed up by the fielders
| But in the eighth the twirler for the
Juniors. Capt. Martin Of the track team.
| took a balloon ascension OF no little con-
! sequence. with the result that he was
nit all over the lot.
After tanning Lamorrell he saw Nolan
get on bases by virtue of Healy's error
| and this seemed to disturb him The next
| three men To face him. O'Connor. O'Brien
| and Loichot. each made a hit. sending
Nolan home and filling the bases. Gaynor
| then came to the plate and connected fer
| "a beautiful home run, adding four taIIies
| to the two already scored by his team
mates. The next two men went down in
| order.
In the ninth the Juniors came back
strong and for u while looked dangerous.
| Power. the first man to face OiConnor in
this session. hit safe and got to the key
stone corner OH Joliat's fiy to the first
ba seman.
| Power went home on GlOetzner's hit
but the latter was caught mapping of
second. and the side went out when
E.ckenrode drove an easy grOunder to
Loichot. who threw him out at first.
| The features of the battle were the
batting of Gaynor and the pitching of
iO'Connor. The last mentioned has late
ly been covering first for the varsity
and is little used to twirling. Despite
this however and although he was
faced by some excellent stick-wielders
he succeeded in holding the Juniors to
four hits. most Of which were well
scattered
