record established in 1901 by J. J. Caffrey
of Hamilton. Ont.
L. Marks of the Pastime Athletic Club Of

Al minutes and is seconds to cover the
course. Promptly at noon the runners We're
sent away from the starting point in Ash
land, near Boston, and were well punched
for the first few miles. Drawing near the
eight-mile mark, S. A. Melor, jr., of the
Mohawk Athletic Club of New York got
the lead, closely followed by F. H. Haarer
a local runner, and Marks and M. Spring
winner of last years race. Increasing his
lead until he apparently had the race well
in hand, Mellor was several seconds ahead

twentieth mile Mellor dropped to walk
LORI had passed him, Haarer and Marks,
Spring having quit. LORI partially col

recovered.
The crowd which assembled at the start

GEORGE WASHINGTON EASY.
Virginia University Showed Under
Local Team, 90 to l.

In a one-sided game yesterday afternoon,
at Charlottesville Va, the Virginia Univer
sity team defeated the George Washington
! University team by a score of % to l.
The downfall of the locals was due to
| the heavy batting of the home team and
| the inexcusable errors of the George WASH
| ington team. Hutchinson, who pitched such
| good game against Roanoke the
other day, was slated to do the twirling for
| the locals but was not in as good form as
! the last game, and was batted out of the
| box In the fourth inning after eleven runs
| had been scored against him. Carr, who
| succeeded him, allowed but one hit in the
| fifth, but soon weakened and was hit freely
from then on, especially in the sixth inning.
| when nine home players crossed the plate.
The only run for the locals was scored by
| Bradley. who reached first on an error,
| stole second, and went to third on a passed
ball. Stevenson then singled and Bradley
scored. All of the Virginia players secured
hits with the exception of Stuckey. Mason,
White and Council each secured three hits
| For the home team Cole pitched a fine
| game, securing seven strikeouts, and did
not allow a hit after the fourth Inning. The

Yale at Georgetown Today.

Georgetown will open their series with
Yale this afternoon at Varsity Field. The
second game will be played next Tuesday
and the third at New Haven on May 81.
The sons of old Eli have been playing fast
ball of late and Capt. Bowman expects to
win at least one of the two games to be
played in Washington. Jackson, who Will
probably pitch for the visitors, has i'm
proved wonderfully since the early season.
The Georgetown nine is in first-class con-
dition; thus far they have not known de-
feat; their strength a the bat is remark
able. Every pitcher that has faced them
has met the same fate. and 1t is not likely
that they will fail to make connection with
Jackson. Since Martell has been tried in
the field he has made a mark for himself
as a "Sticker'-two home-runs, a three
base hit and a number of singles help to
strengthen the full backs" position in
right. Aver will most probably represent
the locals in the box. He has shown his
"mettle" already. and the student body
have placed much confidence in him. The
game will be called at $3.50 o'clock and an
exhibition of good, fast ball is expected.

The Nationals leave tonight for New
York. and they will be the guests of the
Highlanders In the opening game of the
season in Gotham tomorrow. With good
weather a tremendous crowd will gather

Dinneen certainly started the season
well. striking out Jones. the first man UP.
but his work looked poor beside that Of
Patterns.
Huelsrnan's grounder toward left In The
fourth inning nearly went through Parent.
but the latter held on TO the ball and got
the big fellow al first.
Burkett sent a nice one sailing toward
center in the fifth. but Cassidy gathered
the bali up on a hard run and nailed Jesse
at first.
southpaw Cassaday's drive toward left
in the fifth inning was somewhat warm,
the bali escaping Collins hands altogether
and landing on his chest with resoundtng
thud. Jimmy gathered the ball IN quickly,
but the ''three-A" boy was too fast on his
pins and beat the throw by a step
In the ninth inning Kittredge drove a line
fly right in Ferris hands. but 1t was too
hot for the latter and he mufed IT. La
Chance was SO astonished over the play
that he fell over backward and raised a
laugh by crawling to the bag to receive the
throw.
Dan Sullivan showed up at the grounds
yesterday, coming on from Cleveland, and
he practiced with the Nationals in an old
suit. He may go into today's game. re-
placing Cassaday in right.
Billy Dfnneen certainly had Jones on his
list yesterday. striking the center fielder
out three times on a fast insboot. Dnneen
is something of pitcher and he performed
this feat against Dave Fultz last fall.
The Nationals game today will be the
last until May ;. when the Athletics will
be here for the first time of the season.
The away from home games will do the
local boys lots of good. they were
palpably nervous In the opening contests.
Two victories out of five games played is
something for the friends of the Nationals
to ponder over and is a record that hasn't
been equaled for several years.
The list of postponed games is growing
apidly.
