GEORGETOWN SHOWS
QUALITY IN GAME
LOST TO VIRGINIA
Improvement in Team Work
and All-Around
Playing.

There is great gloom at the Hilltop
today, following the defeat of the
Blue and Gray team at the hands of
Virginia at Georgetown Field yester-
day. The score was to 3.
Despite the defeat. however those
connected with the team are pleased
with the improvement shown in the
teamwork and all around playing.
The combination is just about striking
its stride, and there were many among
the spectators yesterday who believe
that had the Virginia game come a
week later Georgetown would have
won.
Even as the result stood the game
was exciting and sensational from
start to finish, and the closeness of
the score and the chances the losers
had to even up matters made the out
come conjectural until the last man
was down in the ninth.
"Wabby" OConnor was little wild,
and his battery errors proved costly
as two men who were ticketed to first
scored later. Rixey. who graced the
mound for the Orange and Blue was
touched up with startling familiarity
in the opening rounds and George
town got away to a three run lead in
the opening session. From the fourth
period the Virginia boxman frightened
up and the Blue and Gray batters had
their hands full trying to plant the
ball in safe territory.
Errors had their say as to the runs
made by both sides. but there were
also some sensational fielding stunts
that added to the excitement. The
close was the most exciting period
during the game. Two were gone in
the last of the ninth when Ryan. bat
ting for Fienle. hit, as did White act
ing as pinch hitter for OConnor. With
Hunt at the bat chances Were bright
for a tally, but the -~centerfelder.s
sharp grounder to short was fielded
perfectly, by Douglas, and the game
was over.

More Leagues Than Last
Year Given as One
of Causes[
GOOD GAMES, BUT
CROWDS ARE SMALL
Lateness<of Starting Believed Also
to Affect Attendance in
Some Cases.

Heads of the different amateur leagues
are today wondering just what the
causes are at the failure of the amateur
baseball fans to support the teams as
was expected. But few games have en-
joyed the patronage that has been ex-
tended in the past.
Last season banner crowds supported
each league and capacity audiences
witnessed the contests from the begin
ming Of the season. Yesterday, with a few
exceptions, the crowds were small in
comparison to those of other years.
The fact that there are more leagues
than in former years may have been
the cause of the discouragingly poor
support. The outlook of the weather
yesterday is another reason SO few were
. In attendance, as 1t looked for all like
rain up the last minute.
Some Good Games.
There were several good games. None
went the full nine innings on account of
the late start. The Departmental
League opened with Postoffice and In
terror, Postoffice getting the game 8

The happiest man in Washington to-

lost in changing tires and in procuring
lunch in Philadelphia. the actual run

a little over nine and one-half hours.
The former record was twelve hours,
and now that Luttrell has succeeded in
hanging up a new mark, the chances
are a number of Washingtons WELL

tempts

Late Start of Teams
Disappointing to Fans

No excuse other than that of late
start is given today for the failure of
two of the amateur leagues to play
enough innings to constitute a game at

could get in but four innings before
darkness. Many fans were disappointed.
