Two local base ball teams met de-
feat yesterday on foreign fields. Gal
laudet went down before the Mount st.
of 10 to /, and Catholic University lost
to the Naval Academy in one OF the
most remarkable collegiate contests OF
the year by to !.
Blodgett and Fahey of Navy and c. O.,
respectively, engaged in great pitch
ers' duel at Annapolis. the former haF-
ing somewhat the better OF the argu-
ment. Sixteen Of the Brookland play
ers went down before the Sailor by
strike outs, and only three times was
the ball driven into safe territory. The
only thing that marred the work OF
Blodgett was his tendency to wildness
at times, four bases on balls being CIV
en- by him Fahey allowed only two
hits. famed eight and walked two.
He was unfortunate. though, in that
both the hits got by Navy were made
in one inning and produced two runs.
1t was Tom Fisher. a Washington
boy and graduate OF Eastern High
School. who produced the drive which
gave the Navy victory. Calhoun. the
last man in the Nays batting order.
singled in the fourth with two down
to the plate and landed on the ball
for long drive to right field. when
was not returned to the diamond quick
ly enough to prevent him getting
home run. Calhoun. Of course. cross
ed the plate in front Of Fisher. with
the only other run made by the Mid
shipmen.
The contest was further noteworthy for
the fact that Rodgers. the Navy nrst
baseman, did not have a put-out to his
credit. Both teams played brilliantly in
the field. and in general the game was
one to be remembered as splendid exhi-
bition of college base ball.
The Gallaudet team was outclassed by
Mount St Joseph's. Particularly was this
true of the batting, the Baltimoreans get
ting sixteen hits and GailauHet aoI only fve e.
make more than one safety. his work in
four trips to the plate being productive
of two-bagger and single. Rockwell
fielded brilliantly at shortstop for the To-
cal team. Mellis and Treuke also fielded
we'll for Gallaudet
Western High and the Georgetown
Freshman teams engaged in splendid
twelve-inning struggle yesterday on the
Hilltop. Western winning. 8 to s. Da-

would have done credit to much older

van at third for Georgetown also de-
serve considerable credit for their per-
formances.
The Survey team trounced the Recla-
nation nine in the Home Club League by
II to I. Survey scored about as 1t pleas

best st.ckwork for the victors.

only one hit against General once

the winners, each connecting for two
bingles.
The Bureau Of Animal Industry was
no match for Chemistry in the Asricul-
turaI Interbureau circuit. being de-
feated II to 4. Wildness on the part
of Watt and Wolfe. who did the pitch
ing for the losers, was mainly respon-
sible for the runs scored by Chemistry.
The winners were given thirteen bases
on balls. enough to allow almost any
team to register victory. Watt partly
redeemed his wildness on the mound
by driving out three clean hits out Of
as many times at bat.

Generals once outhit tho Engineers in
