ritory. good work on the part OF the
Blue and Gray boys prevented them
from adding TO their total
Up until the fatal bombardment In the
seventh and eighth sessions. the game
was a toprnotcher. and the single run
lead obtained In the opening chapter
made the players fight tooth and nail for
an opening to put man over. Coming
as It did at the last moment. George
towns onslaught took all the starch out
OF Columbia. and Feinle was feeding the
New York bunch out OF his hand before
the fall OF the curtain.
Feinle twirled a remarkably steady
game In view Of the fact that a gale Of
wind swept across the field during the
whole battle. The Blue and Gray man
did not issue a single pass. and after the
FIRST inning had the visitors guessing.
Bailey struck out six Georgetown bat
ters to Feinle's two. but his six bases on
balls, five OF which came In the seventh
excellent record.
Fielding Features Galore.
The contest was marked py brilliant
fielding. Only three miscues were made
on q field which was wet and treacher-
Gus.
HoIlander at short handled seven
chances in great style. several OF his as
sists being very sensational and proving
valuable as run snuffiers.
Sitterding held sway in the left garden
and took care OF FIVE hard chances in a
way to gladden. the heart. On account
/ OF the sweep OF the wind, most Of the
hard-hit balls went into his field. but
he nabbed everything that came his way.
Fury's two chances were very difiicult
ones. one OF them making him run nearly
to the edge OF the bank. where a miscue
would have meant a home run. while the
other was only bagged after a hard
sprint.
Third Baseman Friederichs. of Column
bla. handled himself like an old time
professional. running to the stands after
foul flies three times and getting the ball
where another step would have made
a collision unavoidable. His work was
easily the brightest Of the visitors play.
despite the fact that he is charged with
the only error made by Columbia. a
muffed roller in the final session. How
ever, the two men to follow ''Inkey"
died easily and no damage resulted.
Neither Of O'Connor's errors resulted
In runs or aided the New York boys to
annex their lone talley. Both were made
on hard hit grounders after two were
out, and were no doubt due to the sog-
gyness of the earth about 'his stamping
ground.
Four of Georgetown's hits came In the
two innings when they scored their runs.

o'CoRnor was the only Georgetown
player to figure In the hit column twice.
while a like honor went to Capt. Keindl,
OF the losers.
Not a single base was pilfered during
the nine innings. no one caring TO take
a chance on account of the heavy going

who was on second. over the platter, and
sent in Dave White. Dave tried hard
enough. but failed TO produce, and in the
sixth MuIlaney took up Lynch's work and
did very we'll.
A pleasing feature of the contest from
Georgetown's standpoint was the skillful
way in which the Blue and Gray batters
displayed their knowledge OF the bunting
game. In two instances a man was ad-
vanced a base by clever bunting. but
the hit needed to make him count was
lacking.
Columbia pulled OF two fast double
plays, and Georgetown contributed one
also. the fast fielding making the game
the shortest played on the Hilltop this
year.
