In view of the play of yesterday. the
close followers of the game anticipate a
stirring match when Crane and Pennell

| There was the usual gallery of enthu-

Cutting took the court. The contest last
ed exactly two hours, being marked by

thing. In his match Crane, by the speed
with which he disposed of Havemeyer
brought the schedule right back to the
mark which warranted Pencil and HUM
showing at 3 o'clock in bout which was
voted the best of the tournament.

much of his speed to run a fast quarter
mile. The result is that he either stays
out of the race at which he is at his

men that he ought to beat by ten yards.

slippery going, and in celebration of his

The Georgetown team is not playing UP
to its real standard. ne article of ball
put up by the Blue and Gray nine in
the last two games il has played is not
nearly as good as it should be. There has
been a hitch somewhere. the players have
consequently failed to get together as
they should and a slump in the general
work OF the team has been the natural
result
In neither of the two games played this
week has Georgetown showed the same
dash and spirit in its work that EN-
phasized its play against Yale. Lafayette,
Vermont and other teams it met earlier in
the year. The players individually have
hit just about as we'll they did then,
but the hits have not been productive
OF runs for one reason or another.
One factor which has given Georgetown
the short end of the score in its last
two games is poor pitching. O'Connor,
who started yesterdays contest against
Fordham. was not effective, nor was Hef-
fernan against Princeton Monday. In the
first two or three innings in the Fordham
game ii appeared that the Gothamites
found no trouble in solving the shoots
which were sent across the plate and
Strengthening them out into hits.
The slump, though. in the playing of
the team is only TO be expected, consid-

TO be expected that "a college team can
get away with all its games, especially
when IL practically plays every day, as
Georgetown has been doing for the past
two weeks.
Against Cornell today the Blue and
Gray aggregation is sure to show to
much better advantage. FienIe, who will
most likely be pitched, is steady man in
the box. and it is probable that the team
will show decided tendency to better
it's play
Fordham showed about the best base
running team that has appeared on the
Hilltop. The New Workers had the hook
slide down TO perfection and almost every
man on the team was fast And the fact
that one man would be caught at second
did not deter them from making the
attempt again. Several times there were
close plays on the bases which were turn
ed in favor of the Fordham aggregation,
simply because of the ability of its play
ers to slide well.

his defeat. He invariably goes to the
