HARVARD DOWNED
BY GEORGETOWN
In FINE BATTLE
Reynolds Home Run in the
Seventh Gives Crimson
Its Only Tally.
LOSERS ERRORS COSTLY

One of the best crowds Of the year saw
Georgetown down the Crimson on the
Hilltop yesterday afternoon, to l.
A pitchers battle between big Dave
White and FELTON,, of Harvard, went to
the home pitcher because OF the Harvard
mans witness and the costly errors
made by his teammates.
Although only three hits were made
by each team, Georgetown's bingIes COM
bined with Felton's six bases on balls
and an error by wigglesworth in center
were more than enough to make a Blue
and Gray victory.
Dave White never pitched in better
form. In the nine innings he hit one
man, Issued two bases on balls. struck
out three, and allowed three hits. FELTON,
hit two men, passed six. famed six. and
the winners got three hits on his delivery.
Until the seventh inning, when Rey-
nols sent one over the bank In center
field for a home run. White had allowed
but one hit, a single by Clark, in the
second inning. and had prevented Har-
ward from getting a man across the home
plate. Reynolds clout was the longest
and best wallop OF the game, and Har-
wards only chance to score with White
pitching like a machine.
Georgetown scored in the third and
fourth innings without making a hit

counted on Cogan's blow to center.
FGry's Great Catch
One Of the most sensational and daring
plays ever seen on the Hilltop was made
by Tug Fury in the seventh inning.
After Clark and Coon had struck out
and Reynolds had made>>his home run
in this round. Reeves hit a high foul
which looked to be an impossible catch.
Without a moments hesitation Fury ran
full speed after the ball, which appeared
TO be going to fall near the Harvard
bench. Finding that the leather was go
ing to drop on the other side. Fury gave
a leap, and with one foot ,on the back
OF the bench and enc foot In the air
reached out his gloved hand and caught
the sphere. Harvard and Georgetown
players and every man, woman, and
child rose up and applauded the catch.
Hollander, besides making George
towns only extra-base hit, played a
great game at short. neither OF his two
errors being costly. OF the six chances
he handled Clearly there was not one
which was OF the ordinary kind.
After several days rest. the Georgetown
team appeared in an entirely different
light and their performances was nothing
If II was not brilliant in the extreme.
The hits came at timely moments. the
helding was excellent, and the players
were full OF pep"
Mulcahey played nice game at first
base. He had seventeen putouts and one
assist. and handled every one OF them
cleanly. At the bat he waited patiently
and drew two Of Felton's six transpor-
iation tickets. stole a base. and scored
.ah.
sitterding again failed to get safe hit
