AND L. NINE. Beats Penn State, 6 to 3, Batting Whitney, Washington Boy, Freely. Lexington, Va., April 8. - Washington and Lee batted WHITNEY the former Washington Eastern High School star, freely in the seventh inning of today's game with Penn State, and, aided by TOMPKINS' airtight pitching, copped a 6 to 3 victory. TOMPKINS had the Penn Staters absolutely at his mercy throughout, fanning twelve, and only letting up when the victory was in his grasp. WEBSTER's clean steal home and RAFTERY's timely hitting were the features for W. and L., while EBERLEIN, who is to go to the Philadelphia Nationals, was the star for Penn State. Both teams are being coached by former New York American players, Penn State by MANNING and Washington and Lee by Al ORTH.
