mound which mainly caused the
Tigers defeat. no college hurler
having had better game to his
credit this season. The Blue and
Gray captain struck out seven. al
lowed only four hits, and in the
last six innings the Princeton
players were retired in order.
Ability to hit when men were on
the bases gave Georgetown its
runs.
Georgetown got enough runs
in the first inning to win. Mar

was out on a slow roller to first,
but Fury hit sharply between
short and third. Mccarthy fol-
lowed with another drive to left
for a single, which was felded
quickly by Hanks, who had an
easy throw to third to get Fury,
but his heave was wild. Cope
land, pitching for Princeton,
backed up we'll and threw to
catch Mccarthy at second. His
throw was timely, but it went ten
feet over the second baseman'
head and rolled to the bleacherS.

up on third. Daily singled for the

short fly to right field. and then Hoyt
was caught mapping off second by A

Princeton had only three men left on
tI,e bases attests the few real chances
it had to score.
