CAPT. FURY THE STAR

Georgetown demonstrated yesterday
that it has ball team which has grit
and staying powers. if it does occasion
ally lose game by careless playing.
Cornell being the victim of the demon
stration after twelve innings of the hard
est fought baseball seen on the Hilltop
in years. Score: Georgetown 4, Cornell B..
With one man down in the ninth
inning. and three runs needed to win.
the Hiltoppers prepared for final rally.
Hennessy cloutcd the old horsehde with
all his strength 10 deep center for a
single. Davis coaXed a pass. Mulcahy
hit TO left. scoring Hennessy.. Fury, bat
ting for Mullaney, tore off single to
right, sending in Davis and tying the
score LAWYER, batting for Kelly, hit to
second. but was thrown out. Hollander
was fooled by Iohnson's Blenders and
famed. ending the inning.
In the tenth, with two on base and
none out. Georgetown failed to score.
Connolly singled to right and Mccarthy
was safe on Buffers error, which placed
runners on second and third. CampazZi
struck out. Hennessy hit a hard one
TO left and in an attempt to score on
the out, Connolly was nipped at the
plate on a pretty heave by Hslsted.
The game was won in the twelfth
after two hands were out. Mccarthy
hit 10 center but the clout was too hard
for Butler to handle, and he dropped
the ball Campazzi hit to short and
Donovan threw wild TO first. Hennessy
then advanced to the plate and whack-
ed the rubber for a hard single down the
third base line, scoring Mccarthy with
the winning run.
The battle was nip and tuck from start
to finish. Georgetown played one of the
best fielding games it has put up this
tk.a Gin wit
the necessary hit when the bngle was
sadly needed. with the exception of the
tenth inning, when the game should have
been won.
Fury Easily the Star.
Fury was the bright. particular star
of the day. lie entered the game at
time when what he did meant victory or
defeat and he came across with a single.
Again, in the eleventh, he rose to the
occasion and hit safely. while i'll the
tenth his catch of Schirick's hard wal
lop equalled any catch made on the Hill
top in years. i'm the opinion of the wise
old heads who have seen the games on
Georgetown Field for years. Fury's grit
and ability braced the team and inspired
confidence.
Davis and Hennessv deserve all kinds
of praise. Davis was here, there, and
handled three put-outs and SIX assists
without an error and hit into safe ter
ritory twice when his bingles were
needed Hennessy played swell game
ut second with four put-outs and eight
assists for the day, besides hitting for
two bingles, one of which won the game.
OF all the men out for the Georgetown
team this year. this younsster has
shown the most class.
a no
Coach Sharp's bunch have staying pow
ers, and are by no means in the quit
ter's class. Discouraged by the turn the
game took in the ninth session, the Itha-
cans came back for more i'm every in
ming and never showed a sign of quit
ting at any stage of the game.
1t was said by more than one specta-
Tor who sympathized with Georgetown
that from the standpoint of gameness
the two teams were about as evenly
matched as two ball clubs could be.
Johnson pitched steady game, but
was accorded miserable support. But
for two errors in the twelfth, the two
teams might have been playing yet. He
struck out six, and pitched in style all
the way.
Kelly did we'll for Georgetown, but he
was yanked in the ninth in order TO let
LAWYER bat in his stead. Mccarthy com
ing in from center and taking up the
pitchers work from the ninth on, and
doing great work.
