of liquor dealers-in addition 10 the ad
valorem tax on their st0ck-lnd also an
annual license tax Of 80 on druggist

CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA, April g.
Special-It was In vain that the lusty
rooters for the orange and Blue sang
and yelled to intimidate the boys from
old Nassau. for they bit the dust OF their
own athletic field 10 the tune OF is TO .,
in favor of Princeton. 1t was virginia

since she found little trouble in tax
ing two from Yale and one each from
Lafayette Cornell, and Lehgh. The
score was almost a reversal Of that OF
Yesterday. and the manner Of scoring was
somewhat similar. for the runs came in
big Jumps.
Princeton started in with blood in her
eve Suter was thrown out by Martin
Hutchings was safe on Martins error
Hillebrand. the next man up, lifted the
ball over the left-heid fence. and he ana

and Kafer tailed With two on bases
Paul Mier sent a fly TO Hunt. who. after
a long run. let it drop and roll into the
crowd, allowing all three runners TO
score.
This good beginning opened the eyes OF
the Nirginians, and they somewhat eVened
matters I'D in the fourth by sending three
runners across the home plate. making
their total four to six for Princeton.
The trouble was not all over for VIZ
ginia, however, for Hilleorand opened
the nth by lining out a three-DaSser
against the fence. Kafer fled TO Bon

The best Virginia could DO was TO aod

Hunt came home. Curley was hit by a
pitched ball. but was caught between nrst

was hit rather freely. and gave way
i'm the seventh TO Carter, who pitched
such a clever game against Cornell. Only
two hits were made of his delivery.
Virginias infield work was ragged. and
proved costly. Wills put up great game
at first. and did some clever throwing.

a clean three-bagger in the eighth. In

NEW RULES WILL
CAUSE TROUBLE.
The Rule in Reference to the BaIk
is Most Irritating.
THE WASHlNGT0NS WON AGAIN.
Bishop and PhanmilIcr were Given
Chance Yesterday To Draw Out
Some kinks-PhiIadciphia
Here To-Day.
THE WASHlNGT0NS WON AGAIN.

The new rules. especially those In rcla-
ton TO the balk. are going TO cause lots
Of complications and other things this
season.
A specimen Of what may be expected
was given at Broad-Street Park yester-
day. when "A man on third was gwen ms
plate. because the pitcher broke the rule
in attempting 20 catch player VINO was
monkeying around first. The man at hrst
was given his second, and the other man
scored a run.
AT another period OF the game. Pfan-
miller made a blun at throwing 10 first,
the runner wen; TO second on the balk.
and Pfanmiller lost his head and threw
the ball TO Calhoun, after the man had
reached second. The ball went wild. and
the runner. who happened 10 be Gettman.
kept on around and was put out at the
plate from Calhoun. who had recovered
the bail. to Steclman.
When Irwin saw the runner nailed at
the plaie he made a kick, and commended
that Gettman should he given his sec
ond base as only one base could be taken
on n balk. McDermott promptly met the
contention by stating that Gettman had
started toward second when Pfanmiler
threw the BAH to Calhoun. and by doing
so the ball was placed In play. and that
he was properly out.
These two instances arc given simply
10 show what a lot of fun the cranks
will have this summer. while the players
and the umpire are smuggling each other
about the new rules
The game yesterday was not as snappy
rs that OF Monday The players didn't go
l. n ~
while the cranks present did not have
as much fun. nor enjoy themselves as
much the players showed great head
work.
The wise enthusiasts. also. were graft
fed at tho action OF the players For. they
argued, ,nat too much work now would
probably result disasirously later on. and
by taking things easily at this stage any
pending calamity might be averted.
Washington won yesterday. partly be
cause they played better on the bases.
and hit opportunely. and partly because
the Champions wisely held themselves
in 70 some extent
Arlie Latham played AZ second. reliev-
ing Padden who is slightly under the
weather. and he made plenty Of fun for
the crowd. even though his playing lacked
"a gilt edge.
Irwin has found in little Casey third
bascman who will put JOY in the hearts
Of the Washington rooters. and there are
several other good players on the team.
First base is weak. however and a
change Will probably be made before the
season IS on.
Dundon put up a good game at second.
and Wrigleys work at short is what
might have been expected of him.
This season will show that Manager
Wells has a splendid body of hitters.
Even tho pitchers are getting their eyes
on the ball. and it will take some mighty
good twirling 10 hold them down.
Manager Wells left last night for Phila-
dolphia TO attend the meeting of the
League to-day. He will return saturday.
The National League team from Phila-
delphia will play here this afternoon at
t.i5 o'clock.
