Long Hits Mark Duel
As Hoyas Nose Out
CoIoniaIs' Nine
Opener Of City Rivols'
Series Shows Both Fit
For Weekend Fruys
By LOUIS r. ATCHISON.

George Washington made the
most of its seven bingles OF Joe
Wells yesterday at the Hilltop, but
it wasn't enough to prevent George
town from making of with a 6-5
verdict in the first game of their
baseball series. It did, however,
indicate the Colonials are ready for
Saturdays struggle with Villanova
and ditto for Georgetown against
Western Maryland.
1t was a peculiar battle. For
three innings Wells moved EN-
down practically in order. Seven
men didn't get so much as a foul
tip before he passed Matt Zunic
in the third and he stoned for this
slip-up by tanning Red Kloak, his
mound opponent. But the picture
changed drastically in the third.
Two Homers by Gilham.
With two down Johnny Koni-
zewski rifled a triple to left and
Bobby Gillian clouted a homer so
dispatched to bring back outfielder
Johnny Smith. AS If making up for
this, Wells struck out the entire
side in the fifth, but in the sixth
Len Sokol raped out another
homer. That gave the Colonials
three runs on as many hits, or
about as much as you can expect
from the average college outfit.
Gillian pounded another homer
onto the Hoyas' running track
where it rolled like a bowling ball,
with Billy Robertson aboard in the
eighth, and this time Smith hitch
hiked back. Dick Dieckelman, the
portly southpaw pitcher, camou-
f1aged as an outf1elder and stationed
in right, started after the pill, but
discovered he was no 440-yard man
about half way down the strip and
gave up the chase.
But Georgetown, lest you get the
idea the Hoyas weren't batting, was
very much in the game all this time.
Hank Mlynarski's double, followed
by sharp singles of the bats of
Johnny Kulikowwki and Joe Gyor-
SyQcGk, gave bIlc I1Oy do d 1WO-A I'LL
lead in the first. They got two
more in the fourth when Ben Bulvin
singled and Danny Gabbianelli
lashed a hard hit to Sokol in center,
where the ball got away from the
usually reliable outflelder, for four
bases.
Hoyas' Earn Winning Run.
A walk to Smith, stolen base by
the same gent, Mlynarski's infield
out and a wild pitch gave the
Hoyas run No. S, and they got the
winning marker on Deickleman's
single, Gyorgydeak's sacrifice and
Bulvin's second one -baser.
The hitting duel between Jack
Fitzpatrick, G. w. third sacker who
Is leading the metropolitan pack,
and Gyorgydeak, failed to material
ize Fitz missed in three attempts
and gave way to a pinch-hitter in
the ninth while Joe got one bingle
in three tries.
The big hitter was Wells, who
hammered out two singles and a
triple in four trips to the plate.
