Charlottesville yesterday, and continued
in the beaten path OF hard luck. Wilmer
struck out nine Of the Blue and Gray
batsmen and kept his hits well scattered.
Capt. Murphy did about the only cred
liable thing from local standpoint when
he hit a hot one in the sixth that scored
GeorgStown's first run and landed him
on second. from which point he scored
later. All Of Georgetowns errors were
costly, and to this alone can the Hill
toppers ascribe their defeat.
Virginia is playing better ball now than
at any other time since the opening of
the baseball season, but aside from an oc-
casional show OF class, as in the Eastern
contest ard q part OF the Bucknell bat
Tie, Georgetown has gone down hill
steadily Feenan is credited with two
hits yesterday, but they were thrown
away. as no bingles followed and he
couldn't get around.
When Virginia plays here Georgetown
will stand a better chance TO win, and
from the way in which the HHltoppers
felt yesterdays defeat. the home squad
viii bestir itself and pull strong for the
game.
Cornell had little trouble downing the
University OF Vermont by a generous
score Saturday. and Princeton took Co
lumbia into camp by a u 10 verdict.
The game between Bucknell and Navy
was cancelled on account of the death of
Midshipman Earl Wilson, the Pennsyl-
vanlans spending the day sightseeing.
All Annapolis felt an interest in Wilson's
welfare. and the town was practically
dead.
