available position on the Athletic Grounds
was occupied this evening. The lovers OK
base-ballfelt that the Virginia team, stung
by their defeat on yesterday, would put
forth every effort for the defeat OF the
PennsylvaDians, but they were not pre-
pared for the overwhelming blow which
they returned. The Virgins team came
first to bat, and as the giant form OF their
favorite, Addison Greenway, appeared at
the plate the crowd began to cheer.

WASHINGTON AND LEES BEAT THE CADETS.
Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l
d.
baseball season was opened here this af-
ternoon with O match between the mines
of the Washington and Lee University and
the Institute. The whole town was in
terested on the one side or the other. Con-
seQuently there was a very large crowd to
witness the game. The Washington and
Lee team has been strengthened since last
year by the addition of three most admira-
BILE players-Ro binson, Philips, and Dodge.
NOT IN GOOD FORM.
The Institute boys were not in as good
form as formerly. The only really good
playing done on their side was by the bat
tery-Hines and Freeland. The other
PLAYERS seemed much out of practice.
Phillips and Robinson were the battery
for the University and did their work ex-
cellently.
THE HoyoRs.
Dodge carried off the honors of the eve
ming. He played an errorless game and
made several phenomenal catches in left
field, capturing one out-hy after run OF
sixty yards. The features of the game
were Dodges catches, Robinson's home
run, and Illness three-bagger. The score
was II to 6 III favor of Washington and
Lee.
