BY d. u. b MI.
Catholic University and Georgetown lost
their games yesterday, the former being
defeated by Washington and Lee and the
latter by Mount ST Joseph's College. The
contest between the Brooklanders and
Washington and Lee went into extra in
nings and was played at Brookland, while
that between the Blue and Gray and
Mount st. Joseph's at Baltimore was fin
iShed in regulation time. The score by
which Catholic University was beaten was
to J. Georgetown lost by 3 to 4.
Fahey pitched exceptionally well for
Catholic University, and under ordinary
circumstances would have been the victor
Washington and Lee scored one run in the
! first period and after that was not able to
get a man across the plate until the
twelfth. Fahey allowed only five safeties
during the entire time. while c. L. made
nine off the deliveries of Hastings and
Jennings.
Georgetown was outhit and outdelded
by Mount st. Joseph's. The Blue and
Gray got six hits, against nine for its op-
ponent, and committed four errors, against
one. Mccarthy and Meadows, who did
the pitching for Georgetown and Mount
St Joseph's. respectively. were wild, each
giving five bases on balls.
White played a remarkable game at
short for Catholic University yesterday.
While he made two errors, one of them
on very hard chance, he had nine
perfect plays to his credit. He made
| three put-outs and had six assists.
Walmsley playing left field for Mount
St. Joseph's, got three of his teams
safeties against Georgetown. He was
at bat four times and only once did
he fail to drive the ball into safe ter
ritory, and one went for three bases.
Ten errors made by the Printers yes
| terday precluded the possibility of a
Departmental League. Rogers at sec
ond base led his club in miscues, max
ing three, while Feldman and Suess
had two each charged against them.
The Interior Department won by IL.
Had it not been for their ragged
play in the field the Printers might
have won. as they outhit their OPP
ponents and scored enough runs to
win under ordinary conditions.
Purchasing Department won from Traf-
fic in the Southern Railway League by
margin of only one run, though it scored
ten times. Barring the first two innings
both teams played well. Robey of Traf-
fic and Degnan Of Purchasing each con-
nected for a home run.
Land lost to Patent in the Home Club
circuit by to 10. Both teams hit the
ball hard the losers getting nine safeties
and the winners thirteen. 1t was re-
markab Bile that not an error was charged
against either club Dovel, at second
base for Land, and Ralloch. at first for
Patent. played well, each man getting two
hits and fielding better than usual
Dillon. pitching for Holy Name in the
Rosedale League, let st. Paul down with
five hits and won his game by IL to L.
Holy Name obtained a big lead in the
first inning. scoring seven times. and Dill
Ion really did not have to extend himself
in order to get the victory. OLeary of
Holy Name got three hits out Of four
times up.
A close game was played in the Gov
eminent League between Marines and
Foresters, the former winning by to 3. |
The Marines batted better than their
opponents, but their fielding was not
so good. They got hits when hits were
needed, though. and that is what de-
cides most ball games. Newton. who
led off the batting order for the For
esters. obtained hits on three of his
hve trips to the plate.
Advent trimmed Fifth in the East
Washington Sunday School circuit by
s to 2. I.oomis and Huntemann,. former
worked for Advent and had things
about as they wanted them Fifth was
able to get only three hits off Loomis, |
on strikes. Huntemann had two hits
and four assists credited to him, be-
sides seven put-outs.
Congress Heights got the decision over
Farlawn in the Potomac League by to |
3. Fairlawn held the lead by to / until |
the next to the last inning. In that
period Congress Heights got two men
ti4l hivacyc
in the last. Pollock and Sweeney pitched |
creditable ball for their teams, while |
Fairall, at short for Fairlawn. and Sulli- |
van. holding down the same position for |
Congress Heights, did some very good |
work
Hunt let Car Department down with
three hits and struck out nine men, |
great deal Of scoring by the Carmen. /
who lost by to T. Callow did some
effective work for Car Department. too,
as he struck out nine and was not
hit especially hard.
Tommy Thompson. VINO has been do
ing some pitching for GeoI getov'n this
spring. played left field for Station and
made two hits. one being homer.
Oxon Hill won from Steel Plant in
the Congress Heights League rather
easily. The victors did no. get as
many hits as their opponents, bat their
nelQlHS was THuCn SupcClOE. III IdCl,
in the better work done detcnsively
was the story of the winning Of the
game. Oxon Hill made only one mis-
play, while Steel Plant had seven
charged against 1t.
Technical High and Eastern are
scheduled to meet In the school series
tomorrow. In order to stay In the run
ming for the title the Manual Trainers
must win. They have lost one game
already. Central having been a victor
over them, and they cannot afford to
drop another.
Eastern has been playing inland out
ball all season, and 1t Is hard to predict
what 1T will accomplish. Easterns
team is not as good as that of Tech,
though that Is not saying it will meet
defeat, by any means. The manner in
which 1t defeated st. Adams the other
day after series of defeats is suf11-
cient guarantee that 1t is liable to do
almost anything. Tech is likely to get
good pitching, which is generally fair
guarantee of a good chance to win. II
"a team had to be picked the choice
would be Tech.
Among the trifling things which have
happened to the Giants this spring be-
sides the official jolt in the jaw over the
Kauff episode and being hurled into the
cellar are: George Burns. sprained ankle;
Rill Ritter, typhoid fever: Fred Merkle
