...pitchers for nine hits, and successfully took advantage of seven errors. Two Southern teams next made their appearance. Georgetown was the first, and with Mahan in the box the University had an easy time of it, winning, 6 to 0, after getting a three-run start in the first inning. The tie game on the spring trip was wiped out in the following contest, for Whitney pitched shut-out ball against Virginia, while the men behind him brought in five runs with the aid of as many hits and Rixey's loss of control...

Tuesday's contest with the Philadelphians was an extra-inning affair. A 2-2 tie developed in the fifth and it required three extra frames to settle it.
