Yale luck was at a big discount yester- day on the Georgetown campus, the clever base ball players’ wearing the colors of blue and gray outplaying the dark blue lads from the east and winning by the score of 7 to 4. The game began with a bad case of rattles by the Georgetown boys, but the dizziness came at an opportune time and did them no damage. Through some weird playing the Yale boys managed to get two of their players on the bases, but at the critical moment Moran and White pulled themselves to- gether and a shut-out followed. To the ex- perienced base ball “fan” the game had come and gone, as far as Yale was con- cerned. They had caught the Georgetown- ers in a bad slump, but falled to take ad- vantage of it. It was a case of play ball from then out, and it was pretty ball at that. White was at his best and the base hits off of his delivery were widely scat- tered, about the only timely hit belng made in the seventh or last inning, when a nice drive was made after two bases on balls had been served up to the visitors. Gar- yin served the bali for Yale and he, too, was effective at times, but Left Fielder Walsh grew stout and chesty on his curves, the curly-headed Georgetown boy placing a triple and two singles to his credit, and they all came when men were on bases. Of the seven runs made, Walsh drove at least five over the plate. Short Stop Moran was once more in evidence, his steal home from third on a short passed ball being worthy of the cleverest professional in the land. The visiting team played a good fielding game, their errors not being very costly and of the excusable order. At the bat they ap- peared to go into the air with men on bases from over anxiety. Charley Nichols, Bos- ton's clever pitcher, coached the Yale play- ers from the bench and steadied them up at critical moments.

With three on base one out and dark- ness coming on fast in the seventh Inning, the admirers of Georgetown developed quite a bunch of heart trouble, but. Twirler White used his “noddle” to good effect and the rally died out with two runs over the plate. Jeffries and McCoy Matched. James J.

Chairman Hepburn of the House commit- tee on Interstate and foreign commerce said this afternoon to a Star reporter that he would endeavor to secure action at this ses- sion on a bill for a Pacific cable. He had not examined the Senate bill yet, but would do so at once. ‘The House committee has reported a ca- ble bill, which is now on the calendar. Chairman Hepburn proposes to call the bill up on ar early date. The sentiment of the House ts befteved to be overwhelmingly in favor of the cable project, although there is a difference of opinion as to detalls. Some representatives favor government construc- tion and ownership of the cable, wile others contend for granting a private fran- chise. The differences are not irreconcila- ble, however, it is thought, and a bill can undoubtedly be passed before adjournment this summer. = ete ees To Command the Michigan. Command:r P.

More men each year are pinning their faith to the Parker-Bridget Clothing. The garments appeal to careful dressers—they bear the marks of high-art tailoring; and there is genuine satis- faction in knowing that we take all the risks.
