Catholic u. and GEORGETOWN
Playing Good Ball.

assists and no errors charged UP to him
in the box score.
Hayes, who played such brilliant
game at short for the G. u. nine against
the Nationals, had another good day in
the field. He had seven chances, three
put-outs and four assists. without a slip
up.
Georgetown. although it won from Yale
yesterday, failed to outhit that nine. The
New Haven men are credited with having
scored eight safeties, while the Blue and
Gray players could register but six.
Cell, who started to pitch for Yale,
showed little stuff, and he was replaced
by Hartwell, who finished the game in
good shape. The latter seemed to have
good control of the ball and was not hit
to any appreciate extent.
O'Connor started for Georgetown as
though he were not going to last long,
but he settled down after the first inning
and pitched a steady game. In the first
chapter the New Haven aggregation got
three safeties off his delivery that netted
it two tallies. but it was never able to
get another run across the plate.
One rather remarkable fact about the
pitching of O'Connor yesterday was that
he did not give a single pass. When
pitcher is making his first start OF the
season it is generally eXcusable in a.
| twirler when he is a little wild in his
| first game but there was nothing that
| savored of lack of control in the work of
| the Georgetown man yesterday. As far
as getting the ball over the plate was
| concerned O'Connor was complete mas
| ter of the situation from the time he
!. stepped on the mound until the end of
| the game.
Holy Cross was able to get but three
hits off Green's delivery yesterday, and
| each of these came at wide intervals
! Not one of the northern team could con-
meet with the ball consistently enough to
get more than a single safety.
Straight through the season there are
few college players who are able to hit
the ball more consistently than is Sit
terding of Georgetown. The youngster
generally comes across with a hit or two
in almost every game that is played.
Although small. Sitterding Is able to gel
a lot of force behind his wings, and the
majority of his bingles are clean drives.
1t is probable that White will pitch for
Georgetown tomorrow against the Prince
ton nine. The big fellow beat Lafayette
Monday in rather easy fashion, and has
not worked since. 1t Is probable that he
will be sent in to do the work on the
mound against the Tigers.
1t is not to be expected that Princeton
has very good offensive team. 1t play
: ed Johns Hopkins University yesterday
: In Baltimore, and it failed to score but
, six runs. although winning the game by
2 a shut-out. When it Is considered that
: Catholic University ran away with the
, Hopkins aggregation and tailed eighteen
times it would not appear that the Tigers
are comparatively as strong on the Of
Tense as they might be.
BY the quality of ball that it is play.
ing it would not appear that the NORTH
/. Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical
C College has as good team this spring
c as has represented it during the past few
=. seasons. The North Carolina farmer
have seldom failed to get the majority OF
the scalps of their opponents during the
early part Of the season. but this season
there has been a noticeable lack of con.
sistent play on their part.
: It begins to appear that Tech has 6
2 real base ball team, even thought 1t die
E lose several men through deficiencies II
their classroom work. In all the game.
! the Manual Trainers are playing the!
t manage to roll up big scores on their op
4 ponents, while their pitchers generally
3 contrive to hold the opposing score to I
t run or two. That is the kind of base bal
e that wins.
| Tech seems to have a hard-hitting team
besides a good fielding aggregation. II
the game yesterday against the Alexan
t ldria High School almost every man il
q the lineup got two nltS, WhIte there Wef'
}. lonly three slip-ups in the field charged
S lagainst the layers. Perry was the bes
e individual batter in yesterdays game
s getting three singles and a double out o
five times at bat.
d Central won from the Cairo Athleti
8 Club by a good margin. The Blue ant
White team had no trouble beating TIN
g club boys and had things its own wa.
e from the start to the end OF the seven
