Catawba College 6 Sullivan Verboat Wilt Bayer Baker that youngsters were the order of tho day Agony Soon Over It cannot be callsd a peaceable session There wer no boxing contests not even a measly six-round bout But folks you should have heard the noise llelnle Busch and Charlia Babb got tired at on stage of th game 'and started to quit but couldn't because the door waa locked and there was nothing doing Taken aa a whole waa th quickest meeting ever held In the history of the Virginia League Whether thla was dua to tho fact that previous arrangements had been made as to th procedure Is not for me to say Certain It Is that tho vote In every Instance was practically ths same Ther is one thing which forgot to mention Wl Bradley owner of the Richmond Club was elected vice-president of tho league about all that was done Of course It tell all of tho story nor will all of tb story of th leagu mooting of 1111 ever be told It was held behind closed doors remember That's why and I believe that It Is good that It was held behind closed doors Williams la Saddle This one fact stands out pre-eminent The league la going to be conducted on buslneao principles That is certain Williams Is at the helm He has five clubs with him and th other one will put no obstacles In his path- His schedule his Ideas his proposals were all adopted and made a part of tho league laws He Is ths boss and as he Is evincing an effort and a desfr to be fair to all parties his position seems reasonably safe' Just at tho time when Owner Bradley waa being assailed for a division of his grandstand receipts and aftei the discussion had waxed warm It looked as If Richmond would be compelled to kick out of the traces It was all settled by a compromise which says that on 'holidays women must pay admission at the gates Five- of the teams also agreed to pool tho mileage Richmond staying out of tha agreement The free list waa not moleated and remains as tt was lest year hops I have told tt all I have tried and It aeema that lor being on the outside and not knowing a olngl thing of what happened that 1 hav been fortunate In gathering my Information You can bank on It that every word which is hers written is truth It was 11 dons Mayb' In the happy future some other things win leak out but It Is a little early for that now Player Boos who It was understood had been sold to the New York American League team laat year at tha time the- Portsmouth club waa tranafarrsd to Petersburg and who waa regarded aa property of th league waa turned over ta Petersburg by the league First Game of Bprlag Bowling Leagae A spring howling league has been formed at the Railroad A with It Houchlns as president and Deasey secretary The league consists of six two-men teams ae follows: Deasey-Wade Cook-Hunt Bui-lard-Johnson Wallaco-Houchlns Fet-ner-Burns Fllppen-Jones The first contest wws held last nlghl with Deasey and Wad ve Hunt and Cook th formor winning flv straight games with a majority

A Greenewald team on the diamond hut it will hardly be possible to decide on the final line-up before the Swarthmore game Both of laat year's pitchers are out again and in good condition already Moran who won every game he twirled last spring Is still putting life Into the team by his superb work The whole student body was on the field Saturday to see him in action again But Eflrd is also here and he In the opinion of many is Just as good if not better than Moran The Washington snd Lee gymnasium team gave its annual exhibition Saturday night The members of the team aurprteed the crowd by presenting an unusual variety of difficult and novel stunts The tumbling the work on the different apparatus was interpersed with music by the university hand snd followed by contests In boxing and wrestling Those whose names appear below as medalists were not lacking the daring or speed that characterises the work of the successful professional a Wood won the cup for the beat all-round work The Judges awarded him 43 points out of a poeihle 60 Uhlselin was a close second with 89 Medals were awarded to Hush mats: I Larrtck horizontal bar -F McGill parallel bars: Miller flying rings: Charles

TRAMS IN SOUTH Hot Spring Ark March 20 The Tarnigan of the Pittsburg Nationals defeated regular here this afternoon II to 8 by hitting the hall hard and often Victory for Detroit Montgomery Ala March 30 Detroit defeated Montgomery bv a score of 0 to 2 this afternoon In a fast game only point carried by the local mag nate lie retains possession of the grandstand receipts Other proposed amendments to tha constitution were than read Poor Richmond wag in the field all right and he waa armed cap-a-ple hut hit Richard was entirely too formidable lance was keen of edge and his trusty arm thrust sa valiantly at ever but the army of Richard waa fat too numerous nor did Rlvhtrd loss one of his chargers In the fray It waa verily Richmond against the quite a reversal of the ancient narrative Every question which Richmond advocated gu voted down with a celerity which waa surprising seeing aa how nothing had bean prearranged and that the matters under diacuaalon were new to every one assembled A Good Schedule The schedule which Richmond wanted extended to the Saturday after La bor Day was considered by the league as admirable In every respect and It was adopted without the change of so much as a comma As a mattar of fact it Is a good schedule and with the exception of the fact that It makes Rich mond close the season away from home in Petersburg could not be mors nearly to Richmond's liking As predicted In these column Richmond has every week-end at home and divides all of the holidays with Peters burg playing the morning game In the Cockade City and the afternoon game here Richmond opens at home with Danville Norfolk la at home with Petersburg and Lynchburg Is at home with Roanoke There is no need to cry over spilled milk The schedule la adopted It gives a seaaon of exactly 123 games beginning April 30 and cloa Ing September 8 It might not olt well with aome of us but It la dons The reason given for the refusal to extend the season was that ft would cost too much money whlrh appears to be a good reason The receipt from the games after Labor Day last year were 900 It would cost accord Ing to the experts about 11800 (o continue tbe seaaon thla year and a distance of 1808 mile would hava to be covered Owner Bradley finally con ceded the point and smiled Which means that he like many warriors before him knew when he was licked Limit Not Raised Then Richmond proposed that the alary limit be Increased to 11600 It went the way of all proposals made by Richmond and waa defeated by the stereotyped vote of 6 to 1 Richmond voting ay The question of adopting the affidavit to be signed by the secretary and traaaurar of each club swearing to the amount of money expended each month by tbe several teams was unanimously adopted- Increasing ths salary to 11600 from which it was reduced when Jake Wells was elected at 8750 seemed to give tha magnates much pleasur and was regarded as an opportunity to show appreciation of the services of the president Then followed a general dls cussion of tha proposed changes tc the constitution Each amendment brought forth a world of discussion Rpeeches were made "It was a esse of give and take" said President Holland of Danville after ths meeting "but mostly which was agrees to by all present Tho amendments wert all adopted The question of ths number of players to be carried by each of the teams was next under discussion It was finally agreed that thirteen players Including the manager were enough and it was also agreed that the several teams could carry as many playars as they wanted up to June 1 a sort of special concession because of th fact AT LYNCHBURG AT RICHMOND CHALMERS SERVICE TALKS The Technical Department at the Chalmers factory stands ready to advise Chalmers Owners in every emergency

WILL TRY SIX UMPIRES R- Williams president of the Virginia League last night gave out hie plans as to his umpires or rather the umpires which he will bring to Virginia for a try-out Ther will be six of these and he will keep th four who makes th beat Impression Eekman Connelly Nugent Leary Henderaon and Cook tho axtett to report All com highly recommended and eaeh one expects to make good Th result la going to be a disappointment to at least two of tho number "1 have studied the umpire question" said President Williams I -want to bo placed In th position of being caught without umpires tho reason I am going to have six report Should I find out then that 1 picked a bad on I can let him go and till hav my complet staff question of umpires I consider of paramtunt Importance It la really on of the aalient features of any league Home have wondered why signed six men when only four are to get permanent Jobs To mo tho explanation Is simple Supposing I had signed only four and of this number on had fallen down on tho Job All of th good ones would have secured Job by that time and wher would have boon? Now that I have six I can weed out tho beat of the 'lot and let the others go the chief of staff I nave been frequently mlaquot'Q I have never made the remark that I would have a chief of staff Heretofore the fourth man In the Virginia League has been of little value lie has been a sort of makeshift and excuse were found to give him work My Idea Is to keep the fourth man at work all of tbe send him to tho cities from whlrh kicks are heard I want the fourth man to be the very beat of the lot I believe my plans have been properly laid and that the umpiring this year will pleas the patrons of the league" which means that ths umpire question hr practically settled and that for tlfi at least the Virginia League will enjoy tbe double umpire system- COLLEGE TRACK TEAM PRACTICING EVERY DAY Coach Hegamsn is still out of the city oo It devolved upon Captain Taylor to take charge of the track team at Richmond College Tho fallows wer given the usual amount of work and showed Improvement All Is now ready for tho duel Blues-College track meet to be held In the armory on Friday night Invitations hava been sent out and It is expected that the building will packed to overflowing Both tha Blues and tli College expect to win the meet anil it Is going to prove a pretty race Ths reason our patrons go nowhere els for their photographs Is that Foa-tar photographs gain thalr friendship as well their patronage by thoir su- i periorlty and gain th good will of all who so them Foster's for photographs all ths time 113 North Ninth fit root BIJOU-ThisWeek MATINEE TO-DAY The Most Brilliant Theatrical Event of ths Reason Nest TIIH THIEF" First time st popuhtr wire AC A DEM -To-NIgbl and Wadae4br Popular Wednesday Msllncs Best HSU 1100 awmiWMims TH Night rrlceu ad: to 81-60 uiftfeopce 20 HOKSESl COY BOYS JNPIAftS Tllinn URNfRIPTION CONIEIIT HICHMOMI PIIILIMIIIIOMI' AfiMM'IATlOh Illy Auditorium TUESDAY MAliUll 91 lilt Nu single tickets sold Three ticket In eauh of the remaining concerts SUMS Subscription will he rstelvod by JAMKM tVIIITTFT It Nnrth Eighth PtrsH Phono Madison S6ln TIIK IiLIUn!
