Hyman and jenkins were the Georgetown pitchers, the latter receiv- ing the credit for the victory. Florence hit a homer, Captain Kenyon and Sheedy triples, and Malley was also a star at bat. Murphy shone at shortstop, while Cooper, the visiting first sacker, had an average of 1,000 in hve trips to the plate, two of which were doubles.

A In the first of a two-game series, Georgetown defeated Georgia Tech, 8-7, in one of the best games of the year. Although the Hilltop team got away to an early lead and apparently had the game in the proverbial burlap, the Golden Tornado threw a scare in the ranks of the Blue and Gray by a wonderful fight that ended within an ace of breaking the winning streak of the Georgetown nine. The Southerners scored four runs in the last two innings tieing the score. Georgetown, forced to take their bats in the final half of the ninth, for the first time all year, proceeded to tuck the game away.
