Maryland Agricultural College went
down to defeat at the hands Of the
heavy-hitting Catholic University team
yesterday. at Brookland. . 70 3
The Brooklanders got the lead In the
third inning. and the Aggies never had
chance The twirIers Of the College
Park aggregation were helpless before
the attacks Of the heavy-hitting Brook
landers and were pounded 70 all corners
OF the lot Hoffecker. who started the
game on the slab for NJ A. C.. was hit
hard and forced to retire at the end OF
the NTH inning In favor OF Smith
Smith did a little better, the Red and
Black team getting four hits and scor-
ing two runs while he was In the box.
Coach Moran gave Flynn. a freshman
at c. T., his FIRST real try-out Of the
season, and for i've innings he pitched
good ball only fifteen men facing him
and only three hits being made OF his
delivery. In the sixth. however. he
went up In the air. and the Marylanders
got to him for five hits. scoring two
runs More runs that inning would IN
doubtedly have resulted but for some
brilliant fielding on the part OF his
teammates, He settled down after that.
ana only one run was scored on him
in the last two innings he pitched.
In the eighth Coach Moran sent
Freixas IN to bat for Flynn. and Clancy
pitched the last inning. Clancy famed
the first man I'D. but passed the next
three. filing the bases. and was only
saved from being scored upon by a fast
double play by Widmayer, Hayes. and
Pipp.
A glance at the box score would give
one the impression that the BrookIand-
ers did not out-hit the Farmers by a
very wide margin. N. A. c. got ten hits
to c US twelve. but most Of the Az
gies' hits were scattered. and only one
of these was good for more than one
base. while the Brooklanders got two
triples and four doubles, and all these
hits came in lunches
Pipp and Lynch Star.
Pipp and Lynch carried on the batting
honors. the former getting a triple. a
two-bagger. and single out Of four
trips TO the plate. and the latter getting
two-bagger and two singles out of four
times up. Whenever the Aggies did get
men on they experienced much difnculty
IN getting them around. for Mcdonnell,
the Brooklanders' catcher. was in rare
form and threw TO bases with the ac-
curacy OF q big Lacquer. but one stolen
base being registered against him. He
threw the first man out who took lead
on first. and thereafter kept the Aggies
hugging the bases pretty close. In the
eighth, with a man on first and third,
they essayed the double steal. but Mac
was there with the whip; held the man
on third and threw the runner out at
second with ease
That the Aggies did not score more
runs in the fifth was due to two remark
able catches made by Koran and Nc
Geady- Koran speared q hot liner on
Hatton's hat with one hand. and Nc
Geady pulled one down in the outheld
that looked good for three bases Ritter
and R. Lednum put up the best game for
NJ. A. c. Both played good ball IN the
field. and each Of them succeeded in
driving out a two-bagger.
