ANNAPOLIS. Md. May 11.-whi1e
Sproul held Georgetown to two lone
some hits his teammates this afternoon
batted E. Finnegan all over the lot for
4 total of nineteen safe wallops and
Navy smothered the Hilltoppers, L.
to 0.
The visitors after the first two ses-
sions were so hopelessly outclassed
that at times the game became little
short of a farce. Twice during its
latter periods extra places had to be
located on score cards. as the whole
Navy batting list was gone through
with several men to spare. In the
sixth inning no less than thirteen men
faced the visiting pitcher.
Georgetown, on the other hand, was
absolutely helpless and in only four
innings did more than three men get
a chance at the plate. Not one of them
got as far as second base.
Today was the second time the Hill
toppers and Navy have crossed bats.
and the manner in which the Navy team
has improved is shown in the score
In the first contest the visitors were
defeated, 1 to 4.

The race was run over a sloppy track.
and under the circumstances the time OF

Exterminator's victory came as a great
surprise to most of the spectators, as

and at the three-quarters he was first by

a little and was second by four lengths.
Coming into the stretch he moved up on
Escoba. and in the final drive he moved
away. finishing with generous length
to spare.
Ran Good Race.
Escoba was second at the start and
ran a good race throughout, never drop

she had dropped to third place, which
she held until the finish.
War Cloud went to the post heavy
favorite at odds of $1.45 to 81. and his
showing proved a great disappointment
to his host of supporters. The colt got
off in seventh place, but at the first
quarter was fourth by a head. At the
turn, however. he met considerable In

but remained well up until the last
quarter, where he dropped back.
Behind War Cloud. Lucky D., James
T. Clark, Sewell Combs and American

None of them at any time threatened as
a contender.
Among the distinguished spectators
who witnessed the running of the Derby
were Maj. Gen. J. c. McLachlan of the
British war mission and Maj. Gen. Har.
