F1nnegan again came to the front
for Georgetown and allowed only fve
hits. He has proved the most con-
sistent and successful pitcher George

work merits the confidence his team
mates place in him.
Rasmussen pitched a brilliant game
against Ursnus yesterday The Gal
iaudet hurler let the Pennsylvanians
down with only three scattered hits
and prevented them getting single
run. His remarkable exhibition has
perhaps nos been duplicated at Ken
dali Green III many years. A summa
ton of the box scores shows how eff

three hits. gave only two bases OF
balls and caused ten men to walk hack
TO the bench by the strike out route
Peterson also pitched well for Ursinus

Rockwelfs exhibition at shortstop
was brilliant. he handled seven
chances as perfectly as big league

The Business team may spring some-
thing of surprise on Eastern today.
The Stenographers have been working
hard of late and have developed Won
derfully since their firt tw DOR three
practice contests. The team a whole

others.
The Commerce team won from the
Library nine in the Government League
