TEAM SHOT TO PIECES
Coach Hurley Unable to Get the Same
Combination Twice, and the
Outlook Is Poor.

Georgetown's ball club, or, rather,
the aggregation which represented
Georgetown University this after
noon on the diamond, lost loosely
played game to the Midshipmen
here by an s to ) score.
All shot to pieces, the Hilltop
pers were unable to put a real
club on the field, and as a result
the Middies won in a walk. Flynn
made his initial appearance on first,
while Campazzi was seen on third
for the first time. Connolly held
down second, with Barron in right
field. Capt. Fury was out of the
game with a sore arm. and as a
whole the team looked like a hos
pital.
Georgetown mrst dig up some
real ball players if it hopes to cut
a figure in college baseball this
spring. The showing of the team
today was far from good, and it
will take a great deal of work to
round the men who played yester-
day into any kind of shape.
One play in particular showed the lack

The Middies did not look impressive,
notwithstanding their win Little team
work was shown. and as a whole the
team looks rather crude. Cook in right
and Hamilton on second played mediocre
ball, and unless a decided brace is taken
in the near future, the Middies will ind
that the St. Johns club will trim them.
Capt Seibert, who essayed the mound
duty for the Navy. lasted six and

reality, it was just about three innings
TOO much. as the Hilltoppers should
have jumped on him from the start.

No Teamwork.
Coach Harley has tough row TO hoe
with the Georgetown team. In the first
place he never has the same combina-
ton to work with and in the second
place few real ball players are out for
the nine. Harley is a capable man. of
that there is no question. but It Is very
problematical whether he will be able
to turn out a winning team or not with
the material he has on the hill Today
the team was broken up little more
than usual, and unless he is able to get
the same men working together, George
town is doomed to poor season.
Today's defeat is the first George
town has suffered at the hands Of a
Naval Academy team for some eight
or ten years.
Eddie Mullsny pulled the feature play

the Middies came back in the fourth
with another tally. Glover got a scratch
