VIRGINIA WINS
FROM GEORGETOWN
Hilltoppers Lose Exciting
Game by 4 to 3.
R1xEY PROVES 1Nv1Nc1BLE
Big Southpaw Battles wearers OF
Blue and Gray Before Big Crowd
on College Campus-O'ConnorA Also
Twirls Good Ball-Local Boys Score
All Runs in Opening Inning.

In an exciting game, marked by sensa-
tional plays that kept the crowd keyed
up to a high pitch throughout, Virginia
nosed out Georgetown on the Blue and
Gray campus yesterday afternoon by a
4-to-3 score. Ideal weather conditions
brought out a large crowd, and the fine
cheerings- added much to the enjoyment
Of the game.
1t was q great battle. The splendid
style of playing showed the keen
rivalry that exists between these two
universities.
Had the Hilltoppers kept up their speed
as in the opening session they would
have easily landed the game. But after
the third round Eppa Rixey. who worked
for the winners, frightened up and al
lowed only four scattered hits. George
town made a desperate attempt to score
in the last inning. Ryan, who batted for
Feinli, went to first on an error. and then
to third on q hit to left by White, who
batted for O'Connor. The crowd jumped
to its feet with wild enthusiasm In hopes
that Hunt, who was next UP. would tie
the score. But the best he could do was
a tap to Shortstop Douglas, who threw
him out at first, and the game was over.
r
Eppa Rixey twirled great ball after the
third chapter and kept the locals five
bineles we'll scattered. He also did well
at the bat. getting two Of his teams
nine hits and handling two difficult
chances.
"wabby' O'Connor shot 'em over for
the Blue and Gray nine. but was un-
able to hold his opponents In check. and
1t was only by the good fielding Of his
men that the game was 30 close. The
visitors registered a hit in every inning
except the third and sixth. He passed
four men. two of whom scored runs.
Georgetown counted all Of its tallies in
the opener. Hunt got to first and Sec
ond on errors. and scored on hit by
Cogan. Fury made first when Pitcher
Rixey threw wild. and Cogan crossed
the pan. Fury then came across on
Sitterding's sacrifice.
Virginia Scores in Second.
Virginia counted its first run in the
second. when Blakeney drew q pass and
scored on q single to the left garden
by Rixey. In the nth two more run.

Hume went to first on fielder's choice
then to second on an error. and scored
when Carter landed one to left for &

Neff shot the sphere to left field. A
fast double play. sitterding to Feinh to
Davis. ended the inning.
The Orange and Blue bunch won the
game in the eighth. Douglas opened with

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
snrciaI n The Wasbinoton Herald

Special to The Washington Herald
Boston, Mass, May 1.-The Nationals
started after Eddie Karger this after
noon as though they meant to drive him
to the same shelter that so many Red
Sox twirlers have been forced to GEEK Of
late, but after the Texan had poled one
e Groom's offerings to the box Office In
the Art Museum for a home run the
scene changed, the Red Sox took heart.
and they finally managed TO down Nc
Aleer's minions by the score of to 2.
karger started out with nothing and he
ended with everything. At the opening
of the game he was pounded by right
handlers and left-handers alike, and the
Boston outfield 'resembled a lot ot con-
testants in a Marathon run, but after the
fourth he got his curve to breaking and
the Nationals chances slowly but surely
faded. This was after Mr.. Groom had
been tipped off to get back to the hotel
and take things easy for the balance of
the afternoon.
EngIe's Great Stop.
The Nationals had a grand chance to
tie it up in the ninth, and only for the
versatile Clyde Engle they might have
done so. Elberfeld had been passei for
starter, stole second, and was kick
ing that sack impatiently with two DOWN
when Cunningham came to bat. Cunnir g.
ham had already famed twice and the
fans reckoned him pretty easy, but he
met ball that was just to his fixing
and sent it singing between short and
third. 1t looked like a sure bingle and
sure run, but Engle sprinted toward
Yerkes, grabbed at the ball as though It
markable throw to first while still on
the run retired the runner and saved the
game, but many of the fans were threat
ened with nervous prostration.
Milan, a sure death to flies on the local
park, helped to keep the score down.
He grabbed an apparent home run OF
Williams bat and swallowed up two
more that he had no earthly right to.
He has made himself very unpopular 4
with Boston fans in recent years by the
way he has killed off Boston batting
averages.
Mcbride and Lelivelt also played
sharply. Three successive hits ny Con
roy. Lelivelt, and Elberfeld gave The
Nationals their opening tally in the first.
and. in the third, after Lelivelt had doI-
bled, with two down, it was the "Tabasco
Kid" again that sent in the run with the
timely wallop. But this endet all soor-
ing for Washington.
Home Run for Karger.
There were two out in the third wren
Karger poled the ball over the left-f cid
fence for the circuit. This was :he sec
ond safe hit off Groom. Hooper followed
Karger's effort by singing to right, but
got no farther. In the fourth Groorn's g
doom was sealed. Speaker open.d with
a line drive over the middle sack. and
Lewis poked a safe one into left A
wild pitch moved the runners along,
and Engle's sacrifice fly to Milan scor-
ed Speaker. Yerkes doubled TO LETT CEN
ter and the third and winning run came
across.
Otey succeeded Groom in the fifth. He
hit the first man who faced -him. and
Hooper lined out a single Otey settled
down Immediately and the ihrca,e
run was prevented. After this inning,
the Sox hit safely but twice, and never
again threatened the rubber.

OBITUARY
FUNERAL OF DR.. BURRAGE.

Funeral services for DIR. Robert L.
Burrage, medical director of the Pru-
dental Insurance Company, were held
from his late residence, I'll Lincoln
avenue, Orange. this afternoon at 8
o'clock.
A large delegation of friends and as
s~oeiates of DR.. Burrage from the home
office of the Prudential attended the
services, as well as the medical direc-
tors of many of the prominent New

East-Orange. assisted by Rev. DR.. Will

one present spoke of the great personal
loss DR.. Burrage's death had brought
to them. His CHEEKY personality, his
devotion to others, his lovable DISPOSE
ton, full of sunshine, and his ever
helping hand will be very much missed
by those who knew him.

the junior officers of the company a
wreath of magnolia leaves and Easter

Push-carts vended unimaginable sweet
meats along the curb to a floating

Marriage, a Business With
Me- Declares Nat C.. Goodwin

What actress among my wives was
the best from an artistic point OF
view? Why. my first wife, Eliza Weth-
ersbee. the English woman Maxine
Elliot was fair, and Edna Goodrich
the worst. she couldn't act. My mar
riage with her was a frame-up, a moth
erly interest proposition.
Il heard hat the girl was in hard
times financially. She was under the
Shuberts' management. Not liking the
Shuberts, / set about to help her.
Finally we went together in the play
she had. | never liked her. Why did
l marry her, them
oh. birds mate. don't they? Con-
slant association results in marriage.
Nothing unnatural about it, is there.
But | certainly was glad To get out
OF the Edna Goodrich bonds. She didn't
have a case against me, and l was
afraid the defense tmyselD would win
when the divorce proceedings came up.
l vas so afraid that ! had to get busy
and trump up a case for Edna.
