Overcoming Georgetown's two
run lead. Georgia Tech hammered
the slants of Artie Reynolds 10,
three hits and three runs in the
fourth inning of yesterdays game
Thereafter both pitchers were In.
vincible, and the Yellow Jackets
won out 8 to 2. in a game which.
for excitement. has been rivaied
only by the recent Georgetown
Lafayette struggle.
The game was marred by constant
wrangling, with Umpire Woodward
the storm center. Both teams had
just cause for complaint. but it must
be said that he showed utter i'm
pagtiality in his decisions.
Reynolds had one bad inning. but
that cost him the game. "SunshiI.e"
Thompson, who graced the mound
for the, Atlantans, got OF to a bad
start, but after the second inning
moved down the opposition with
monotonous regularity. He staged
a great exhibition of gameness in
the ninth, striking out Florence and
Hyman with runners on second. and
third. Thompson had eleven strike
outs to his credit, while Reynolds
famed ten.
Georgetown started the scoring In
the first inning. when. with one out,
Murphy planked a single to left, and
Sheedy followed with a bingle over
second. On Kenyon's drive to short
Roane threw to third too late to nip
Sheridan, and the bases were
jammed. Sheridan scored on Reyn-
olds' hit. but Sheedy was forced al
the plate on Bissonette's tap to
Roane, and Kenyon was caught OF
third and run down on the base
line.
In the second. the Hilltoppers
started where they left of in the
FIRST. There were two gone when
Malley reached second on Buck
Flowers wild peg. Murphy re-
sponded with a double, scoring Gus
the plate on Gissonette's tap &c
a fly to Ingram.
The fourth was the Atlantans' big
inning. With one out, Roane dou-
bled to left. Flowers was passed
and Bratton singled to center. scor-
ing Roane with the first run. Grif-
fin hit a tremendous whack over
Bissonette's head and two runs came
in. He was left when Ingram died
at FIRST on his tap in front of the
plate.
Thereafter. Reynolds was found
for but two hits, but Thompson was
equally effective and not a Hilton

9TH INNING RALLY

Johnny Davis busted the old apple

yesterdays Central Eastern clash
with three men on the sacks and none
down, sending Rauber and Buckley
across the pan, winning for Cen
trail. s to Z, and putting them almost
within reach of the league gon-
falon- The game followed the West
ern-Business contest and for thrills
and sensational plays was a cracker
jack.
Little Jumbo" Moran obtained a
three-run lead in the very first round
for Eastern in which he had a hand
with a line single to center. and
went along until the third before
being touched up for real hits In
the first frame wildness paved the
way for a Central rally and in the
second his opponents counted again
aided by a passed ball by Geurriere
In the third the Mount PIeasanters
got on to him for three bfngles and
as many runs. He then held them
under his thumb until the seventh
while his gang knocked Walker, of
Central. out of the box and had col
lected seven runs
The Mount Pleasanters' victorious
rally in the ninth began when
Rauber, up first, picked one to left
Buckley was plunkedh in the side
and Cummings put one out of the
reach OF Hardy in left center. Then
Mr.. Davis stepped in and smacked
the frst ball pitched to left, ringing
down the curtain on the best inter
high game this season. Score:

Another r"Kid"
.WouldP PushIn
Only 20 and, Thinks He'd
Make Good as Pipch =.
Hitter.

If some progressive manager in
the major leagues is looking for
good pinch hitter, there is .
"youngster" in Washington who be-
Iieves he could fill the bill.
He is a hulking giant and tips
the beam at well over 200 pounds.
His massive shoulders denote unu-
sual strength. His hair is sandy and
he has a steel-blue eye.
This kid admits that he is sew
enty years young" and can WELD a
wicked bludgeon.
His name is Adrian c. Anson and
he is known as the Daddy OF
Baseball"
Pop" Anson. as he is known to
the fans, young and old, is appear
ing at Keith's this week with his
attractive daughter. He hasn't
swung a bat in many years, but he
still believes he could line 'em out
with the best of them.
Can 1 hit 'em now?" he unused
in answer to that question. II be-
lieve l could get my share. OF
course my eye isn't as keen as II
was in the old days. but I'd be will
ing to take my chances against
Walter johnson, and he's consid-
cred a pretty good pitcher.
Il don't believe Walter has any
thing that would fool me. In the
old days the pitcher used to be
stationed As feet from the plate. IL
took a keen eye and plenty of nerve
TO stand up to them then. Now they
are pitching from 50 feet. Quite a
difference"
Pop" is reaching the age in life
when most men think about getting
old, but he refuses to enter that
category. He is still hearty and
hale, and refuses to let the passing
years get the better Of him.
Also he declines to countenance
the idea that baseball is faster row
than when he was in his primes, or
that the hitting is harder. Ruth's
ability to smash the ball is con-
ceded. but he will cite you Dan
Brouthers, Roger Connor, and others
as examples of the old hitters.
Those boys could hit the ball
often and far" said the veteran.
The difference between them and
Ruth is that they were not playing
for home runs, but to win ball
games. 1t was all teamwork then.
The home run hadn't become the
biggest thing in baseball. as it is
today"
Anson is proud of the managers
he has turned out Among them
are Clark Griffith. Pat Tebeau
Jimmy Callahan, Mark Baldwin,
Ed Stein, and ,Ad Gumbert. He also
started John K. Tener. who was
president of the National League a
few years ago.

Three Huriers Fail.
The Senators inflicted considerable
punishment on divers Yankee pitch
ers. Manager Midget Huggins tried
three alleged twirlers during the
anfrays and from the three total
of fourteen safe blows were made.
The nrst pitcher introduced by
the midget was the venerable Jack
Quinn. For two innings Jack
escaped without a scratch, although
the Senators were hitting the ball
directly on the label for the most
part. Their efforts just happened to
land in some Yankee glove. And.
10 add to Jacks content during these
two first frames, his pals had
ehalked up two runs.
The first counter came from
dDule by Fewster, a sacrifice hit
by Peckinpaugh, and an enormous
fly to right field, propelled by the
bat of Babe Ruth. The second local
score was the home-run contriou-
ton Of wallie Schang.
In the Yankee half of the third
the smile of the aged Quinn became
more pronounced. for his pals again
got busy with their bats by gather
ing two more runs and driving Al
Schacht, the Washington boxman, TO
