Washington, May 3.-When BIZ
Sitterding. Georgetown's diminutive
left gardener, hit the first ball served
ap TO him by Eppa Rixey. NirGinla's
star slabbist, for clean home run In
the opening Inning on the hilltop this
afternoon, no gave his team a tally
all that was need ed TO win tho second
game OF tho series between these two
rival institutions. But later on in the
day Sitterding duplicated his feat.
when, with Captain Cogan on second
as the result OF a two base blow, he
lined what looked to be Il single 10
right field. The ball took bad hop as
Landes. Virginia's right fielder. set
Eirnself. bounced on his glove, and
went over the bank. The result was
another home run. This happened in
the sixth inning. and Fury drove in two
more in the eighth with his third
straight hit. Thus the final count
stood to o.
Georgetown accomplished what she
has been trying to do for the past
three years-beat RiXey, probably the
best portsider In college ranks to-day.
Georgetown hit RiNey's fast ball, his
chief asset, and when II did this his
chances for victory were gone. OPP
posed TO him was Girls. Eienle. who
during his three years at college never
pitched better game. Two hits. enc
of these scratch by Neff and Il double
by Douglass. was all that the blonde
Dutchman allowed. Virginia did not
look like a real ball team against
Fienle to-day. made so by the fact
that lie was unhittable and steady.
-Four Orange and Blue players reached

on balls, and the other on Hollander's
error. out OF these four, Douglass
was the only one to get rs far as sec
ond or third.
