c. j. TEAM SWATS BALL
Gathers Fourteen Hits in Defeating
the Western Maryland
Nine, II to O.

Georgetown University's base ball
team went on another batting ram
page at the Hilltop yesterday, throw
ing barrage of fourteen hits and
routing Western Maryland, II to O.,
Ihe Hllltoppers made merry with
tne offerings Of two Westminster
pitchers. deluging Clayton with a
shower OF nine cloutS in less than
SIX innings and failing Dorsey for
Twelve bases during the remainder of
the engagement. Both pitchers made
matters worse for themselves by
generous contributions in the nature
of passes.
While his mates were bombarding
the visitors. Bill Dudack, who had
not toed the slab since the 1919 cam
palgn, performed like another John
son. He granted the Westminster
clan only four scattered hits and
did not give his lone pass until the
ninth inning. The visitors threat
ened only three times, twice getting
runners to third base. A double play
stopped them on one occasion and
Dudack's effectiveness nipped the
other scoring chances
Hits and passes helped the Hilltop
pers to trio of runs in the first in
ming and similar combination added
two in the fifth. When Clayton
persisted in his wildpess in the sixth
he was derricked in favor Of Dorsey.
The latter was greeted with two
triples and single and five runs
before the Hilltoppers were retired.
After Sullivan singled in the seventh.
Dorsey famed three in a row, but
Walsh's homer boosted Georgetown's
total in the eighth. Score:

talked about them to such managers
as Connie Mack, Clark Griffith. Pat

they may not be quoted. the opinions
garncred may be set forth in the way
of advice which all young players
read. So here goes:
Too many young ball players break
ing into the big leagues are more in
terested in the salary they are to re-
ceive than in the kind Of base ball they
are to develop.
Many beginners do not know the
rules OF the game. They have never
read them. Their knowledge is super
fetal and based on such plays as have
come up in their own careers.
Young pitchers are two careless
about control of the ball. The mo-
ment they have developed good curves
they think they have won the battle. A
curve is no good If it cannot be
pitched to the right spot.
Too few young players go in for
Youngsters think the back
stop has too much to do in a position

They do not practice scientific batting,

gence and patience.
