Princeton Team Bests Southern Uni
versity in Pitchers Battle.
Special TO The Washington Herald.
Charlottesville. Va. March 25.-Prince-
ton defeated Virginia to-day to 2. The
contest was a pitchers battle between
Steve White and Wilmer. in which the
former got a shade the better of the
argument. The Virginia twirler received
miserable support, Princeton earning only
one run. The Tigers put up remark
ably clever fielding game, the work Of
the entire inheld being almost up to mid
season form.
Reed, - short, and Warwick, at sec
Ond. gathered Up several hot ones that
looked to be hits Virginia's two runs
came In the sixth. Wilmer led off with
hit and Pickford was safe on War
wick's tumble of hot grOunder Both
romped home when Reed threw low to
first, the ball going to the running track.
Cunningham made the only extra base
hit for Princeton. In the third inning.
with Bard on second. he lined out a triple.
Fitchett put up a great game in left
field accepting six difficult chances.

Cincinnati. Ohio, March 25-The ma
tional baseball commission adjourned this
afternoon without reaching a decision In
the now famous King case. The mem
bers Of the commission. however have
agreed to have written individual opin-
ions ready Monday. These will be COM
pared and a general opinion arrived at.
This final opinion, ii was announced.
would be given out Thursday 10 the
newspaper associations. Just where the
hitch in the King case is cannot be
learned. Il was reported earlier In the
day that Killing would be reinstated. but
would have to pay a heavy penalty for
his long absence from the game.
Just what punishment should be melted
out 10 King is believed 10 be the dues-
ton upon which the three members of
the commission cannot agree. Chairman
Hermann stated late to-day that the
commission had all the evidence II de-
sired. but refused to tell why a final
decision ia the matter was not forth
coming. Realizing that they would not
come 10 an early agreement, the COM
mission made arrangements TO stay in
their rooms until they could reach some
agreement, but because Of the oppressive
heat finally decided to postpone the mat
ter altogether
The members Of the commission ap-
peared to be greatly worried and dis
gusted with the whole case.
Before touching the King matter, the
commission decided upon rules covering
the awarding of prizes to the two cham
pion batsmen Of the National and Amer
lean leagues. No inielder or outfieider
can compete for the two autos offered
by Detroit firm unless they have been
at the bat at least $50 times, while
catcher must go 70 bat 80 times and a
pitcher 100 times. The commission also
decided that the Portsmouth club must
pay $3.50 to the Canton club, which ii was
found was the title holder of Chester A.
Spencer, bought by the New York Ma
tiOnals.
Chairman Hermann was authorized by
the other two members Of the commits
sion-JohnsOn and Lynch-to formulate
and promulgate the final finding next
week, and frame their own and his opin-
ions. Hermann will strike an average.
so to speak, from these opinions regard
ins the penalty. which is undoubtedly
the sticking point. Johnson is probably
the most severe in his suggestions in
this connection, and Hermann the least
severe.

Georgetown opens its big Easter sea-

team this afternoon at o'clock on the
Georgetown grounds. The expected turn
for the better in the playing Of the locals
came in their game against Ursinus, and
one Of the best battles in years between
the two rivals in baseball can be expect
ed. Stil Georgetown is not as strong as
formerly, and the fact that the Tigers
are supposed to have an unusually fast
team will make them the favorites, as
Gar as betting goes. in this afternoons
contest.
GeOrgetown's never-say-die spirit has
won them many game in the past. and

defeat.
