Fully 1.5OO people wendell their way
across green fields yesterday afternoon
10 see Catholic University and Gallau-
Diet play the second Of a series of three
games for the collegiate championship
Of the District. and as many marched
back home satisfied that they had wit
messed one Of the best exhibitions OF the
national game played here by college
teams this season. Catholic University
won, 20 Q. due to the excellent work
Of their Indian chief. Greene, who per-
formed on the slab in his usual clever
manner, allowing the Kendall Green boys
but two hits, both Of which were scratch.
and permitting only thirty men 10 face
him ar the bat during the nine innings
OF play. The men who reached first got
there on the two hits made by the losers
and a base on balls which went TO Capt
Hover Greene famed seven Of the op-
position and prevented Gallaudet from
hitting the ball hard to his teammates
The real feature of the days play. out
side of Greene's great work was the
fielding of both teams-and here is where
the Kendall Green tribe played their
rivals TO a standstill-both sides making
play after play that bordered on the SEN
sational. The best catch OF the game
was made by Center Fielder Blanchard.
Of the losers, when, in the seventh, Tobin
hit a long liner over his head. and he
ran back TO the edge of the trees and
pulled down the ball Had the horsehide
escaped. II is doubtful II it would have
been recovered. as it was going at a
mile a minute clip and was headed for
worlds unknown.

scOoped up Greene'S swift roller down
the third base line with his gloved hand
and fired the pellet over TO Brick, who,
in completing the out, picked the ball out
Of the dirt. Brick made a similar play
on a throw 70 first by Morris in the
opening chapter and his playing was
great all through the game Hover

good ball Of any man on either side, al

but came in on a squeeze play which
proved successful and made a magnif-
cent attempt 20 catch the Catholic Uni
versity player going 70 first on the hunt
There were so many good fielding stunts
by the losers, 90 narrate them all would
make the story read ike a press agent
yarn. but you have to give the northeast
lads the credit for their excellent work
When Greer hit one back Of short in the
second, Morris ran out into the outgarden
and pocketed the ball In the eighth,
Greene smote one on the nose TO the left
that looked safe for a bngle. but by
sprinting In true Duffy style, Arras
nabbed the sphere and retired the In
dian. Maxson caught the only ball hit
into his field in the last inning after a
strenuous effort. and the catching Of
foul flies by Catcher Rockwell was by
no means the least important feature OF
the battle. Il can be said without fear
OF contradiction that the Gallaudet lads
outplayed the University contingent in
the field, although the winners played
good baseball from start to finish. Had
not the Kendall Green felders backed up
Dillon as they did. the total hits annexed
by the Brooklanders would have passed
the ten mark
Winners Make Double Play.
The most worthy fielding stunt pulled
OF by Catholic University came in the
eighth. when. with one out, and Maxson
on first, Dillon popped 10 Tobin, who
doubled Maxson up az first base Tobln
had TO go back considerable distance
after the ball and the wind was blowing
gale at the time. making the play a
hard one to get away with. A neat bit
OF work on the part OF Catcher McDon-
nell IN the seventh nippeG a rally by Cal
laudet in the bud. Arras was on first
and was playing well off. No one was
out and II looked like Gallaudet might
get the runner around Mcdonnell
measured the distance Arras was playing
off the bag and suddenly concluded that
the Kendall Green man was a fit victim
for his throwing wing. so he heaved the
pellet 10 first and caught Arras by a
foot
In batting. with Greene pitching such
great ball Catholic University had every
thing It's own way. All OF the eight hits
OF the Brooklanders were clean cut and
were hit hard.
Catholic University scored a run In the
first inning as the result Of a base on
balls and an error by Morris In the
fourth, after the rain had stopped. the
Brooklanders annexed two more Tobln
