Georgetown and Harvard
Battle to a Tie---4 to 4
Game Goes Twelve Innings, Being One Of the Most
Sensational Ever Witnessed on Hilltop.
FELTON, Fans Fifteen Batters.

After fighting tooth and nail for twelve
exciting innings on the Hilltop yesterday
GEORGETOWN and Harvard quit with hon.
ors even, each team having scored four
runs
From start to finish the game was fea-
tured by remarkable playing by both
clubs. double plays, hits, and errors COM
ing at the very time to intensity the keen
rivalry among players and spectators.
AS inning after inning passed and the
two clubs Fought along on even terms.
the interest reached the fever point, anc
the play became sensational In the ex-
treme.
FELTON,, Harvards crack pitcher al
lowed but six hits and struck out fifteen.
He pitched fine ball, and would have
won his game within the regulation pc
riod but for Tones wild heave in the
lucky seventh. which permitted two run
ners to score and tied the contest.
= NcCarthy's PlueISy Pitching.
Mccarthy only allowed eight hits and.
with the exception of the sixth, when a
base on balls, three singles and two
doubles in succession melted the visitors
four runs he was invincible. This bad
session seems all the more puzzling
when Ii is noted that in the other eleven
innings he allowed but three hits, and no
two came in the same round. Any play
would have quit under the terrific can
nonading IN the sixth. but the George
town pitcher had confidence in his own
ability and came through the smoke In
good shape.
Hollander played sensational ball at
short His work this year has been ex-
celient, but yesterday ne coverd him
self with glory, as he has never done
before Time after time he gathered in
ffc in, and fred the
ball unerringly into the first baseman' 8
outstretched NIT.
Davis is another frisky Georgetowner
who deserves lots of credit for his great
playing. In yesterdays battle he was
the only Hilltopper to get more than one
hit, scored a run, stole two bases, ana
out of nine chances slipped up on only
one. which. while regrettable. did not
affect the score.
Milholland's terrific hitting was one OF
the bright features of the battle from
Harvards viewpoint He made two
Dagger and two singles and proved a
dangerous foe. Clark, at second base,
also did great work, starring at his po-
sition with six chances.
NJ. Mulcahy worked FELTON, for three
bases on balls, two of which blossomed
into runs. AS FELTON, only walked five
men it appears that Mulcahy had him
jinxed.
