man reached second base on him during
the first seven innings In the eighth he
blundered somewhat. when a base on
balls and two successive singles filled the
bases
lie had two strikes and no balls on the
batter. and then he laid the next one
straight across the plate. The batter
was Henderson, hitting fourth for the
Georgia nine. and he drove the ball far
into left center for two bases. All three
men scored. but Henderson was thrown
out at third. trying to stretch his hit into
a three-bagger. Derrick retired the side
IN order in the ninth.
Derrick played third base for Business
High School last year. and has previously
been holding down left field on the NJ. A.
G. team. Something of the credit he de-
serves for his accomplishment of yes
that the Georgia team came here with
successive victories to its credit over
Washington and Lee, University of Mich
igan, University of Illinois University OF
Alabama and Vanderbilt.
Three games were played in the anna
teur league yesterday. the Treasury, Cen
trail and Rosedale organizations being the
ones in which contests took place. The
Federals swamped Library in the Treas
ury circuit: the Iroquois defeated the Tro-
jams. Z to 3. in the Rosedale. while sher-
the Central.
The best contest of the three was that
between the old rivals, Sherwood and the
Printers. Both teams got away with
mighty well played games, considering
that neither had done practically any
thing in the way OF real practice pre-
viously. The work Of the pitchers. Weaver
for the Printers. and Munich for Sher-
wood was exceedingly good. Weaver
allowed the winners only two hits, while
the Printers got four. Weaver did poorer
work in the matter of giving bases on
balls. though, as he walked five men,
Munich passed three. Weaver struck out
five and Munich sent nine back to the
bench without having allowed them to
hit the ball. Two errors were made by
each club.
Goucher. In center field for the Printers,
accepted five put-outs. Three OF them
were on difficult chances.
The pitching Of Whitehill was mainly
responsible for the victory of the Iroquois
over the Trojans in the Rosedale League.
He got away with an exceptionally good
game. holding the opposing players safe
at all times. He allowed only one hit,
struck out six and did not give base
on balls
Belcher. who played shortstop for the
winners, was the only man to get more
twice out OF three times at bat.
The Library team seems unable to hold
its own in the Treasury League. 1T having
failed on both its appearances to make
a good showing Yesterday its defeat
by the FederalS was very decisive-in
fact. one-sided. The Federals were by
far the better nine. They got twelve hits,
while the losers connected safely only
three times.
Roundtree and Towers, playing with the
Federals each got three hits. The former
was at bat three times and the latter
four.
It is very probable that Catholic Uni
versity and Gallaudet will be represented
in the games to be held by the Maryland
College this week. The other
state colleges have not shown much de.
sire to take part, with the exception or
Western Maryland. and that school would
hardly be strong enough to give the
Farmers squad close contest. With
Catholic University, Gallaudet, Delaware
College and Richmond College in compe-
tition the collegiate events would assume
very interesting proportions. Gallaudet
and Catholic University have already
signified their willingness to enter teams
Manager Swift of the Brooklanders
stated this morning that his school would
be represented by anywhere from t"eiSe
to eighteen men.
The matter will be taken up today at
the Maryland Agricultural College by the
athletic council. and just what is to be
done will be determined. There is hardly
any doubt though that invitations will be
extended to the local schools to take
part
