Reed scoring and Parker taking second
on the error.
Rhodes hit TO Davis. who caught Park

Greenbaum lifted one to Cogan. who
made a neat catch, ending the inning.
PendIeton Starts Trouble.
With the score lied the Tigers went
out on stiIi hunt for meat. and Big
Chief Pendiston opened hostilities In
characteristic manner. After tugging
his pants and patting his bat, the Prince
ton short fielder sent a screamer into
deep center field. emitting him 10 three
bases. But for the trees the ball would
have gone on down the hill for a home
run, but as IL happened Il made little
difference.
worthington hit one to Davis, and
when Inkey delayed the throw to first.
watching the man on third he beat the
ball to the bag White hit to the pitch
er, and Pendleton was nabbed between
third and home, worthington taking
third and White second on the out. Ster-
rett then cleaned up with nasty poke
over third base. just out OF reach of
everybody. giving the Tigers a two-run
lead. Reed and Beger ended kostilities.

Worthington was passed. but when
White attempted TO sacrifice. he was
nabbed at second-pftcher to short Stsr-

after which one Reed, who, by the way.
proved a might good all around man
for Princeton. laid his weight against

shooting across the diamond nearly TO
the gymnasium in deep center for a
four-sacker. DAILY made a grand attempt
to stop the ball, which was travelling on
an express train schedule, but the best
he could do was to slightly decrease its
speed.
Georgetown started auspiciously. Hol-
lander walked. cogan attempted TO bunt.
but fouled out to the catcher. Sitter
ding laced one to right field territory
for two bases, scoring Hollander. but
minute later made an attempt to match
his sprintlng ability against Sterrett's
wing and found the Princeton man was
boss of the bases. Fury walked. but
when ne duplicated Sitterding's attempt
and wandered down to second he was
snuffed at that bag on Sterrett's pretty
peg 10 Pendleton.
After the opening inning Georgetown
had but one real chance to do anything
and that chance came too late. In the
ninth, with an unbeaten record to stand
on and with Princeton leading by four
runs, Sprigman's crew got together and
made one of the gamest rallies ever
started on, Georgetown,s battle-scarred
field.
Fury led of with a scoreher TO right. !
and DAILY followed with a two-base wal
lop to left. With men on second and
third and none out. the clouds COM
menced to roll away, and a ray of iignt

meant three. but the Hilltoppers couldn't
shake the spell
Dave Whites fielding was one of the

pitcher handled seven chances without !
an error. and his stop of Parkers hard
