NOTES OF THE TRACK.

There was a heavy play on Hendricks
in the first event, principally to show.
With d. O'Connor in the saddle. however,
the hackers of The horse had little chance
for their money. The boy sat straight up
in the saddle and actually stopped to en-
gage in conversation with a fellow
jockey in the stretch.
Il looked as if FonsOluca should have
won the first event as the race was run.
Wonderly apparently being over-confident
until il was too late.
First Chord showed himself to be a
good sort of year-old in the second
race He simply played with his field all
the way and won in gallop. He is on
the big order and when 1t comes to going
over distance of ground will make some
of the best of them run bit.
Aurifer acted as If he would like
a route. He was off in front. but at once
dropped back. being slow to get going. At
the finish he was running over his horses.
r. Taylor rode much better race on
Farrell in the jumping event than he did
on his previous appearance. but Tamar in
was too good horse to beat.
High Carnival stumbled just as she
was taking hand in the finish in the
fifth event. or she might have been third.
Trump was consistent in this event, stop
ping at the finish. He seems to run one
good race and the next time a bad one.
Shea is improving. He rode good fin
ishes both on Calgary and Meistersinger.

TIGERS TRIUMPH over
VIRGINIA ONCE MORE
Princeton Captures Second
Game With Ease.
Southerners' Poor Field Work and
Ragged Plays Cost Them the
Game, I6 to 2.
Especial to The Washington Times,

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, April p
Princeton made it two straight from vir-
ginia by capturing today's game with ap-
parently little difficulty. The score was
Is to 2.
In the first inning the Tigers, by bunch
ing their hits, in connection with the
costly errors contributed by the Virginia
fielders, succeeded in pushing six men
across the plate. The visitors then pro-
ceeded to cinch their victory, In the third
inning, by adding four more tailies to
their rapidly increasing score.
Outplayed by Tigers.
Captain Carson opened the game for
Virginia, but he wss forced to retire
from the rubber in the fourth inning after
being literally batted cut of the box.
Peete, who suffered SO severely yesterday,
succeeded him. and was very effective.
He allowed but four hits from that time
until the end of the game.
Stevens. who off1ciated in the box for
the Tige.s, had everything his own way
and held the Southerners completely at
his mercy. The splendid fielding of the
Princeton team. however, also played
large part in the ultimate result of the
game. and was in sharp contrast to the
ragged work of the home aggregation.

Outfelder Ryan Says Washington Has
Finest in the Circuit.

i've been all over the country, and

thoroughly well-adapted grandstand. as
accommodates the Washington public

ball." said Jimmy Ryan, the we'll
known outfielder, who called at the Ar

friends.
Baseball" said he. in answer to a
reportorial question, gets an increas-
ingly firm grip on the American people
with each recurring season. 1t will al
ways be the national sport, because our
schools and colleges continue to furnish
material that in after years becomes the
chief support Of the game.
Then it is clean, honorable pastime
free from the taint of crookedness. 1t

is one secret Of popular appreciation and
patronage
