NOYA nine TOPS
MICHIGAN, KEEPS
RECORD INTACT

Georgetown's baseball team was
pointing proudly to its eighteenth
successive victory today as a re-
suit of defeating the University
Of Michigan 9 to 7 in a game that
was in doubt until the very last.
It required the pitching skill of
both Mike Petroskey and Hank
Bertrand to stem the attack Of
the visitors, who outhit the Hoyas
10 to 8. The former was relieved
after the fifth and Bertrand
breezed along effectively enough
until the ninth when a Michigan
rally that saw two runs go across,
threatened to rob Georgetown Of
its lead.
Georgetown's decisive inning
came in the eighth when the Hill
top sluggers went to work on
Michigan's hurler, Fishman, driv.
ing him from the box. Dan Smick,
an underhand hurler, relieved
FiShman, but not until George
town had scored three runs.
Walter Peckinpaugh, son Of the
erstwhile Washington shortstop,
played a brilliant game at third
base for Michigan and delivered
two hits in four appearances at
the bat.
Joe Keegan, Georgetown
catcher, came out Of the fray with
a perfect batting mark. getting
two hits for two times at bat.

COMEDY IS HIT
 AT L|TCHF|ELD
"Yes My Darling Daugh- ter" We'll Acted By
 Capable Cast

"Yes, My Darling Daughter" the comedy that scored such hit in New York with Peggy Conklin and Lucille Watson, played this week in Litchfield, the Summer Players do- ing justice to it. Charles o. Carey, who produced last summers plays, is also managing the group this year. The Lucille Watson role was and is being well handled this week by Mary Fischer, who as the mother of very modern daughter, gives the part distinction and finish. Stresla Lane capably presented FL len, the side-stepping daughter.
 The supporting cast was adequate, H. E. Carter, Karen Edwards, John Malcolm and Herbert Newcomb, fitting well into their respective roles. The play is distinctly light and furnishes an agreeable summer offering. A mother finds herself forced to vicarious advice in the af- fairs of young daughter, especial ly since, she, the mother, did not always follow the strict codes of conduct in her own youth
 Next week, the engaging comedy up Pops the Devil" will be offered, with special holiday performance Monday and Tuesday. This spark ling comedy is sure to please those looking for good summer entertain ment.
