them home beaten by a 143 score the first two pitchers wheeler and brydon were no punle to the acton batters but casey who come in to finish the game was not so easy the field support of georgetown was also a bit shaky while acton played steadily georgetown who usually can be count ed on for plenty of heavy slugging were badly baffled by oordon and the big guns did very little in the way of hit ting him only in the first innings did georgetown show anything at tho bat the first two men up had nicely placed hits and two runs were scored acton got away with two walks for the first two up and norm morton filled the bases with a lovely hit a nice clean nlniiic from bob anderson scored two runs for acton bayllss fanned with two still on bases w ritchie went out on a ball lilt to oordon in
