three hits, one OF which was for the cir
cult. In all. the Nationals got nine safe
drives, just as many errors as Cornell
rolled up. In addition to these run pro-
ducers, the visiting twirlers issued eight
passes to- first, SO that there Is really
nothing surprising in the large score the
Nationals recorded.
Nationals Start Early.
The local brigade got down to bust
ness in the very first inning. Milan
walked and Bills made an error on Schae-
fer's hopper. Milan taking third and Ger
many second. Moeller fouled out, but
Flynn drove q screeching liner right at
the right fielder. which allowed Milan to
score after the ball was caught. Schae-
fers hit, q walk and a long ny gave them
another run, in the third. In the fifth a
walk to Moeller and Flynn and . home
run drive by Cunningham nefted three,
and this dose was repeated In the sixth,
when Schaefer hit, but was forced by
Aoeller. Flynn also hit, as did Cunning
ham. which. together with an error by
the left fielder. brought three runs home.
There was lull in the seventh. but In
the eighth the fireworks started again
With one out, Moeller and Flynn were
given lives by errors Of Keller at third.
Cunningham flied out, but Morgan ana
Foster followed with hits, ana to ADD
TO the mess. Carbon muffed Henrys ny.
Akers came along with safe drive and
five runs were over the plate when
Milan flied out.
Cornell got q run In the eighth on a
couple Of passes and q poor throw to first
by Akers- In the ninth q scratch hit, a
pass and balk gave Cornell the maj
run of the game The score:

Georgetown had three men on and one
down, when Greenbaum was yanked and
Lear sent in to pitch. F1enle. at

ended the game. and Georgetown

out for his team. but the Georgetown
man seemed unable to get the same

though, while luck seemed to break with
Princeton the majority Of times. there
were instances when a share Of 1t went
to the local university. Pendleton. when
he led OF In the sixth inning, drove the
ball into deep right field, but instead OF
going over the embankment, as II should,
| 1t struck q tree and bounded back into
the field.
Both Teams Field Well.
The game was an exhibition OF clean
fielding. Although there were many hard
hit balls, there were but three miscues
made by the two teams. One was charged
up to Georgetown and two to Prince
ton. Gogan made the slip-up for
Georgetown when he made q poor
throw on q relay in Of q drive through
the infleld to center by Read. Pendlefon
was guilty of one error charged UP against
Princeton. when he booted Mullaney's
grounder In the fifth. and Parker, in left
field, had the other.

inning. Princeton went into the lead In
the sixth by a two-run margin. Pendle-
ton, first up. drove the ball into right field

Worthington bounded q slow one to third

held the bail until too late to get the
runner at first. Then White hit to Hol-
lander. who caught Pendleton at the
plate. Men were on second and third
