BrookIand Nine Finds Little
Trouble Defeating GaIIaudet.
State Fails to Hit. -
PITCHERS WORK FEATURES
BY n. C. BYRD.

Catholic University won from
Gallaudet, and Maryland State
lost to Dickinson. in the college
base ball games here YESTERDAY.
General superiority in all depart
ments enabled the Brooklanders
to take the measure of the Ken
dali Green nine with apparent
ease: inferior battery work was
mainly responsible for the defeat
of the Marylanders.
Without half trying, Catholic
U. scored just twice as many
runs as did Gallaudef. The
Brookland players realized
their superior strength and never
took the contest with any real
seriousness. At the end of the
second inning they had gained
lead Of five runs, and with the
quality of the pitching the team
can muster when in a pinch five
runs are enough to win almost
any collegiate diamond struggle.
Gallaudet threatened to -liven
things up once or twice, but never
really caused any uneasiness
among those on the opposing
bench.
Dickinson started the game with
Maryland State by scoring once each in
the first three innings. Those three
runs would have been sufficient to win
had it not added two more in the fifth.
There were periods when the Maryland
nine looked strong, but Dickinson took
advantage of every bit of loose play
and made mistakes of the College Park
ians count in its favor.
CATHOLIC US game with Gallaudet was
a great success from one standpoint
the ST. Vincents Orphan Asylum bene-
fitting financially. The contest was
played for the benefit Of that institu-
ton, and it is understood that some
where around $500 tickets were sold
| for it, Not all of the $500 who bought
| tickets attended. however; all were
there excepting about 1000.
Greer Opposes Ferguson.
Greer and Ferguson were the oppos-
ing pitchers at the start for Catholic l..
and Gallaudet. Had the latter received
as good support as the former. there
would have been quite q struggle. Fer
guson pitched well enough TO let tho
Brooklanders down with eight hits and
strike out nine. Two of the safeties
credited against his delivery were very
question: BILE, too. The Gallaudet man
| had a good curve ball working and at
! times some OF the batsmen missed
| swings at it by about two feet. jack
! son pitched the last three innings for
| Catholic L. and six of the nine men that
faced him went out on strikes.
In the opening inning Ferguson hit
Rooney, lead-oT man for c. L. Rooney
attempted to steal second, but perfect
throw from Schlenker nailed him cas-
:ly HouZe missed Al Whites easy roll
eli to short and White scored minute
later when Butler drove long fly be
tween left and center. Three singles.
an error by Wilson and another tNNs-
base hit by Butler accounted for four
runs in the second After that the game
was easy for the Brooklanders.
Four consecutive hits, one three
bagger by Pilliod, at the beginning OF
the fourth made it look as II Greer
were going to get his bumps. but ne
had been easing up. When he began to
cut loose again the opposing batters
failed to do anything against his de-
livery In the sixth inning. after which
he was removed to allow jackson q
chance to work out, he struck out all
three men. In the fifth he famed two.
which made the last five men who raced
him the victims of strike-outs. -Peard.
the first man to face Jackson. got "A
scratch hit. but that was the only thing
that looked like q safety against the
lanky lefthander'S delivery.
Allie White and Butler played good
bah for c. L. as did F'illiod for Gallau-
det Carroll got chance to make good
behind the bat for the Brooklanders
and made a splendid impression.
