Defeats Holy Cross After
Great Uphill Battle,
9 to 6.
PPP IN THE LIMELIGHT
Rangy First Saeker Hits Safely Four
Times-Wins in the
Ninth.
PIPP In THE LIMELIGHT

Displaying a never-say-die spirit. the
Catholic University ball club defeated
Holy Cross In the ninth inning yesterday
on the Brookland diamond. 9 to 8, after
one OF the greatest uphill battles ever
witnessed in this section OF the country.
Holy Cross showed eight runners over
the pan in the second inning, but Coach
Moran's lads kept plugging, ana by a
run OF five in the eighth frame, tied
the count at all. In the final chapter,
Pipp's double and Horan's single put
the game IN the record book.
Pipp played another steller game at
first. handling ten chances without an
error. and getting four hits out OF as
many trips 10 the block, two OF these
wallops being good for two sacks. In
the ninth inning he smalled the ball
against the hight field foul pole which
would have been good for a circuit trot
and then came back with double.
Pipp's hitting has been the sensation OF
the Brooklanders' play so far this sea-
son, and the big fellow bids fair TO be
the star hitter OF the team.
Trayers Gets humps.
Trayers got away all right in the initial
inning. but In the second the Worcester
collegians got after him, with the result
that he was chased TO the stable after
six Holy Cross runs had been chalked
up. and three men were on the sacks.
Tommy Ryan then took up the burden,
and while two runs were scored OF him
he did not allow a tally after this round.
BY plugging all the time. the Brook
landers tied the knot in the eighth. and
won the ball game in the ninth. Horan
also hit well for Catholic University. get
ting three bingles.
O'Brien starred for Holy Cross, getting
home run and taking care OF seven
chances in center field. Today the Brook
landers tackle Yale. and with Chief
Greene on the mound expect to trim
the Old Eli aggregation. Score:

and Bickers two.
The work Of Clyde Milan this spring
has been above the ordinary, both in hit
ting and base-running. During the prac-
tice and exhibition games the Tennessee
Flyer has averaged easily two safe swats
a game and leads all the others in stolen
bases.

idea of change in scenery, and the trip
back to Washington tomorrow was the
sole topic in camp tonight.

the Climbers unless the Hilltoppers have
a stronger team than last year, and Grin

NOTES OF THE GAME.

When Yale started to roll up that
batch of runs in the ninth inning the
humor of the situation got the best of
the crowd and everything the George
town players did provoked a laugh
There is nothing truer than that every
dog has his day. The Yale bulldog had
his yesterday, but thanks to Dame For
tune it's only one day out of 365.
Pompelly attracted considerable atten-
ton. Both of his hits were corkers one
being a long double. Yesterdays bin
giles make his total six hits in two days
That's walloping the ball some.
Only thirty-two men faced the Yale
pitcher in nine innings.

Burdette Smeared himself With glory

seventh inning going for three bags and
travelling like shot into far left field.

One Georgetown man covered himself

also contributed somewhat to the glori-
Gus comedy of errors, and that was
Lawlor. This youngster made two hits,
one OF them giving Davis a chance TO
score by fast base-running, the only tai
ley the Hilltoppers made. But Lawlor's
best work was in catching foul flies. He
seemed to have a reckless disregard for
grandstand, benches, and spectators,
and in nabbing a long foul. hit directly
back of the Georgetown teams bench,
caught the ball. and, turning a somer
sault, landed doubled up on the other
side. This was really the best play of
the game and deserved all OF the ap-
plause which it provoked.
