Georgetown and Catholic University
each won a brilliant victory in base
ball yesterday. The Blue and Gray de-
feated the Navy in a wonderful fin
ish. while the Brooklanders came out
on the long end of a to , score in a
twelveinning contest with Eillanova.
Both the local schools played excep-
tionally fine ball.
Perhaps the victory of Georgetown
over the Navy was the more brilliant,
though that is not detracting in the
least from the work done by the Cath
Ollie. University players. Georgetown
came from behind in the ninth. with
the score standing to against it,
and scored six runs. which gave it the
game by to 5. A finish like that is
seldom seen in college ball, and the
team that accomplishes such a thing is
deserving of a great deal Of credit
After holding the lead against Villa
nova by three runs until the eighth,
Catholic U. had the score evened up on
it in that period on Trayers' one bad
inning.
O'Leary, playing center field for Villa
nova, got five hits out of as many trips
to the plate. Such hitting as that is
not usually done by college players
Blodgett. the first cassman pitching
for the Naval Academy this year. must
be more capable than the average col
lege hurler. He has been doing good
work in nearly every contest in which
he has taken part. Ordinarily he would
have had a victory over Georgetown
yesterday. 1t is very seldom that col
lege team leading by three runs at the
ninth inning does not win. and yet that
is just the condition under which
Blodgett lost yesterday. Blodgett is a big
fellow. weighing around 1870, and seems
to have lot of stuff on the ball
Smith. playing right field for Catholic
University against Villanova, got four
hits out Of four times at bat. He led
his team Zachary and Tracey being the
only others to get two safeties.
Adams and Fischer both former Wash
ington high school boys. are playing bril-
liant ball for the Naval Academy team.
Their work has been of a high order
all year. and both did some very good
playing against Georgetown. Each man
had one put-out and five assists to
his credit. while one error was made
by each. Fischer got two hits one being
a two-bagger ard the other a triple, while
Adams connected for a three-base hit
also.
Central High School played well against
y
yesterday. losing by score of . to 1.
The high school boys did some clever
fielding and showed form at bat Cox
pitched well. only three hits being made
off his delivery.
NJ. E. Lynch was chosen Yesterday to
be manager of the Catholic University
foot ball team next fall. He succeeds
William Ryan, resigned.
No coach for the eleven has vet been
obtained. but it is expected that some
definite knowledge as to who will be in
charge will be gained before long. The
Brooklanders thought somewhat of Sc
curing the services OF Madden, an old
Amherst player. but hitch in the nego-
tiations prevented the action.
The Commissioners won the first De
partmental League game yesterday they
have played in -four years. The nine rep
'esentins the District building was in
the government circuit in 1910 and il
won the championship. The team dropped
out of the organization after that. and
this is the first time 1t has since been
represented. though 1t did play in the
Central League in the spring OF 1911 for
two or three weeks.
The Commissioners defeated War TO
l. Jarboe pitched good enough ball to
hold his opponents to three hits: he
struck out five. The Commissioners did
not hit very well. either. getting their six
runs on two safe wallops. Nine bases
getting Damphier and Fuller featured
with their fielding, the former having two
assists and three put-outs in center field
and the latter having the same record on
third base.
The Sherwood club dropped game yes

eralds by to 10 The contest went only

hits
Brightwood won from Mount Pleasant
IN the Northwest Sunday School League
by to 6 yesterday. Brightwood took the
lead in the first period, scoring four times
but Mount Pleasant evened up BY getting
TWO each in the first and second. Bright
wood scored three more in the third 1t
was coincidence that the same number
OF hits as runs was made, though they
were reversed in that BrlRhtwood got six

The Board of Trade team lost to the

All the Props runs were scored in the
