CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, April "a.
In a game marked by spectacular
fielding Pennsy turned the tables on
Virginia to-day. winning out by a
score of to 8.
The Quakers put up a great game
in the field and at the bat, Their stick
work gave evidence Of concerted ac-
tion to drive In runs Just when they
were needed. The only error mode
came in the ninth, when Corkran's
hard throw bounded from Pauxtis's
glove. Londrigan was the hero with.
the stick, he getting nearly half Of
the hits credited to the Red and Blue.
Two were doubles, and came oppor-
timely Corkran, Of Pennsy, and Cap
tain Hof, OF Virginia, made sensational
one-hand ca tches The former leaped
high in the air and pulled down Hon
aker's liner in his gloved hand. Hoff,
playing in close, gathered in simpsons
hunt in the tips of his fingers. Hume
and Spring made spectacular catches
OF long foul flies.

Three other machines of the twenty
two starters We're on the course when
the race was called off TO prevent acct
dents to the great crowd OF spectators,
numbering about 100000 persons.
