College Boys Are Easy
Pickings for Nationals
Grifmen Defeat Georgetown
in Opening Exhibition Con-
test by IS to 5 Score.
ONLY FEW FANS ON HAND
By WILLIAM PEET.

Trapped baseball was on the menu at
National Park yesterday. when the Grifr-
men opened the exhibition series at
home with Georgetown, winning easily
by Is to 6.
The few faithful fans who braved the
cold shivered for nine innings. and all
they got for their kopeks was a slant
at the young players about whom col
umn after column has been written by
the local scribes during their late exile
In Charlottesville.
Georgetown undoubtedly has better
team than was shown in action yester-
day. The Hilltoppers looked scared out
Of their boots from the start. which prob
ably explains the one-sided score.
Manager Grifith's professionals un-
corked for the first time this spring a
savage hitting streak. Thompson was
batted all over the lot for five innings
and Kelley. his successor. Jared little
better.
Booth Hopper worked five innings for
the Nationals, and did not permit run.
Three hits were obtained of his assert
ment Of foaters, KNOCKERS. and hooks.
Joe Engel. relieving Hopper when the
college boys came to bat in the sixth,
famed ten, but was hit safely half
dozen times and allowed five runs.
As no provision had been made for an
umpire. Lawrence Phillips, the WELL
known announcer. was pressed into serv-
ice. Mr.. Phillips admitted after the COM
bat that he had never before umpired a
ball game. He robbed both sides with
equal fairness.
Grin. after the fifth inning, yanked
out all of his regulars except Gandil
and Shanks. The so-called recruits in
sisted upon showing Manager Griffith
that they were good enough for any
body's ball club. with the result that
Georgetown found the kids Just about as
tough a proposition during the closing
chapters as were the Regulars early in
the game.
Thompson. a spitball hurlcr, started in
the box for the Hillmen. He was nicked
for two tallies at the jump and in the
second inning. errors. extra base clouts,
and good base running added five runs.
The game ceased to be interesting from
this period.
Kelley, who succeeded Thompson, Jared
little better. Three tallies were OBJ
tanned by the professionals in the sew
enth. DY\s the eighth. three more
clattered o.. In Justice to Kelley 1t
must be said that binding sun which
enshrouded Berardini out in the left
field patch, helped the Griffmep make life
miserable for Kelley.
Georgetown scored in the seventh when
Engel walked Irwin. Singles by Bar
ron and Giacoma did the rest Wee1ns'
clOut, a passed ball. Connolly's single.
and wild pitch added another in the
eighth, while two bases on balls. an
other wild pitch and McCarthy's single
added three more in the ninth.

HILLTOPPERS TO PLAY
OLD ELI'S TEAM TODAY
Georgetown Expects to Hand Trim
ming to Yale Nine in Game
at Hilltop Field.

Following their disastrous defeat at the
hands of the Washington American
League club yesterday. the Georgetown
varsity nine will play the Yale team to-
day on the Hilltop. Notwithstandin gthe
defeat at the hands of Grifr's charges,
the Georgetown boys put up a very
sreditable exhibition. and should the
Kew Haven team come up to expecta-
tons a battle royal will be on hand.
The Yale team left New Haven yes
terday at noon and arrived late last
night, accompanied by the coach and
manager At the last minute Way, the
first-string pitcher of last year. was de-
clared eligible by the school faculty. hav-
in gbeen ruled out earlier in the season
because Of conditions. This fact was
received with dread by the local college
players. as he is scheduled to work
against the Hilltop nine today.
Up to a late hour last night the local
team had named no man for the mound
duty. though it Is expected by all that
either Finneran. who made such a show
ing on the past Southern trip. or HaS-
gerty. will work. A good crowd is looked
forward to. as it is Yale's first appear
ance in Washington this season.

LOCAL CRICKET CLUB
TO HAVE NEW FIELD
War Department Grants Privilege for
Use of Polo Grounds in
Potomac Park.

1t has been practically assured by the
War Department officials that the Wash
ington Cricket Club will be privileged
to occupy the old polo grounds in Poto-
mac Park during the coming season.
This will throw the two fields formerly
occupied by the local cricketers open to
cross-country riders and amateur golfers
without hindrance. Heretofore the riders
have been obliged TO get on the mac
adamized roads when they struck into
the sides of the cricket grounds. Now
the situation is different, and the horse
men may travel through the shady plane
adjacent to the Brightwood reservoir
without hindrance.
Washington Cricket Club officials feel
quite relieved. however, as the new
field they will play on is easily accessi-
bile, and Col. W. w. Harris has assured
the votaries of the British pastime that
he is more than anxious to have advo-
Gates of games that appeal to men of
middle age occupy certain of the ath-
letic fields under his espionage.
