latest reports are to the effect that
the league will begin its new 1- use

Still It Was a qucsticn of the life'

The. Virginia IjcagUe has not bad thej
most rosy season. The money baa not!
I ten coining In quite as fast as It was
gclng out. and this Isn't calculated to
make the magnates feel any too
happy.
It's been a bad year for baseball all
over the country. The weather has
had much to do with It, but contri?
buting caus'.s. many ot which were
foreseen, helped.
The United States Lcaguo has had
Us roubles. Let's hope they aro now
over. From the local standpoint they
are. How about the others'."
One thing Is certain. The United!
States. league has put Richmond on;
the baseball map. It has demonstrate I
ed that this Is not a small town, but
is willing and aide to support anything!
v. hich the real men of the city want. I
And there are real me.i interested In'
the United States League here. Men
with money and brains and eneigy. j
You can't beat that combination In]
any game.
What Is more, it look.i an If all the j
bad ones had been wee.led out. Theyl
are starting out wlh ft clenn slate andi
clean sports, not seekei3 for fortunes!

Says Morgan Mills: "Richmond Is \
j he best known city In the baseball!
1 world to-daJJ. After I had shown I
{those people in Pittsburgh what the
business men here had done, theyj
realized Richmond was a regular place;
and wanted it to remain In the]
league.''
j And every nlckle Invested by thesej
; same business men will be returned]
; trebly, even If he ball club never
makes a dime. It's advertising Which

Petersburg Is up In arms against
the schedule udoptc-d by the Virginia
League. Goobervllle, regarded as)
probably the most prospe-rous city in;
the league, says emphatically that she!
will withdraw unless this schedule I?
revised und revised quickly.
It develops that Petersburg had no
hand In making the schedule. Secre?
tary Priehard arriving after It had
been framed up. By this schedule
Petersburg is male to go to Roanoke
live times, though It is understood
that none of the other clubs goes
more than once.
Also Petersburg kicks over the dis?

sides were distinctly truculent. lit

Mr. Roosevelt's coming und tho posi?

subject of d'jubt on the part of tho

.No ?Triumphal Entry."
Some of the more exuberant Roose?
velt udherents at once proposed a
?'triumphal entry" for their candidate;
but it was instantly discouraged by
Senator DIxbn and others of the mure
experienced politicians among the
Itoostveli leadership. They express' 1
tho opin'on that such a procedure
would be unwise, and probably would
have effects quite the opposite of
those intended by its proposers. These ;
councils prevailed, and up to a late j
hour to-r.ight there were no plans for
any special reception for Colonel
Roosevelt other than that Alexander 1
Revelle should meet him with his I
automobile upon his ?arrival and. cx- I
<-ept for special police protection, take,
him after flic manner of an ordinary
citizen to the Hotel where a suite had |
I been reserved for htm. There was
' this much ostentation about the ar- I
: rungemcnta; That the suite in the 1
Congress Hotel prov'ded was what:
formerly was known as "the presides- (
tall suite." but the Taft people met j
it promptly with the announcement
that to-morrow, before Mr. Hoosevelt ]

. invention, there ran be no doubt that i
? t has caused a profound sensation on
tlko part nol only of the leaders of all
;iie Candidates, but of the deU-srates in
the rank and file, Tille of th* tempo
rar;,' orgaivlaajtlon at the coiwcntlon,
( C the rernaimlrsK work of the national
committee, and even of the vtoe-pnisl-'
drratitil nomination, subsided, "while all
hands talked albout Mr. Roosevelt's
coming to Chicago.
Little Change in Situation.
.Sueii talk as there was to-night about
tho matters incidental or subsidiary to
tho main issue of the Taft-ltoosbvclt J
battle. Showed little change In tho sit?
uation as regurds temporary organi-1
Kation, work of the lommltice on cre?
dentials, platform, et?-. Obviously, as
ono leader put it. "the tail goes with
the hide." Whoever lias tho majority
of thu delesntes will control the tem?
porary organisation and probably tho
committees on credentials ntfVl resolu?
tions. If It turn.-- out that tho Taft
people havo votes enough to nominato
their man, already announced, their
Slate probably will K" through to suc?
cess.
If the Roosevelt people havo the mn
Jority they claimed to-night?they
would glvo no figures?they can name
their own temporary chairman and otli
i rwiso organize the convention.
One of tho rumors lato to-day was
that there, had been overtures from
the Roosevelt to the La Toilette people
in the form of an offer to Join In the se?
lection as temporary chairman t>f some
one to i>c selected by Senator 1 .a Fol
Ictte or his adherents. It was Bald
thut the La toilette men rejected tho
proposal and that the event would
show that their strength, while cohe?
sive for thetr own purposes, could not
bo held together for any Roosevelt pur?
pose.
Rehlnd tho conflict of claims bctweon
the adherents of the leading. Candida tos
and the grim silence from tho La Toi?
lette enmp there rose up a lively little,
show of hope?almost it might bo de?
scribed as confidence?in the Iowa del?
egation that out of the turmoil would
corr.e at lost the nomination of Senator
Cummins. The Iowa men were dot
clulming anything except that their
Senator and eX-Govcrnor was "the most
available man," hut they said that the
delegates from Iowa counted for Taft
were. Cummins men at heart and would
welcome the opportunity to caut their
voto for him should tho President's
nomination provo to bu Impossible.
In a statement inspired by Colonel
Roosevelt's start for Chicago, Director
McKinley declared that his coming 19

which the coining- of Mr. Hooscvelt will
only make morn certain."

Roosevelt's coming.
"Undignified as it Is and Impotent as

Mr. Barnes says that Colonel Roose?

The reappearance of the compromise
gossip called forth a lengthy state?
ment from Director McKinley. In
Which he charged the Roosevelt forces
With encouruglng the compromise talk.
"This Is an admission of a. patent
fact?namely, that Thoodore Roosevelt
is a defeated candlduio In this con?
vention,'? declared Mr. McKinley.
I'lnns ?or demonstrations of various
sorts to offset tho arrival of Roose?
velt to-morrow were discussed by the
Taft loaders, but no schemo was
adopted, It wus practically decided
to treat tho presence of the Colonel
with silence and disdain, although the
{ Taft reception committee, which baa
begun thO work Of rounding Up candi?
dates and caring for tlteni. was urged
to additional activity to-morrow.
Asked why Colonel Roosevelt had
decided to come to Chicago, Senator
Dlxon, who had talked with the Colo
nel over the telephone earlier in the
day, said It wils merely to expedite
matters.
"It Is very difficult In such a sit?
uation as this to conduct nogutiut<ons
over tho telephone,'' said Senator I'lx
on. "He is coming here to be in touch
and to aid us In fighting the men who
would steal the nomination away from
the itepnbllcans of the country."
j "Was ho asked to come because it
was deemed u crisis had arrived which
[ demanded his presence In order to
1 sav,. the situation'.'" Mr. Dixon was
asked.
j "There is apparently a good-sized
crisis when one considers tho thievery
of the national committee In over?
riding tho will of the sovereign States
1 In their choice of delegates to this
convention," tho Senator replied.
"Will Colonel Roosovolt go to tho
national convention?"
"1 do not believe Manager McKinley,
of the Taft campaign, will give Mr.
Roosevelt a ticket, and I am sure that
tho sergeant-at-arms would not admit
him without one," said tho Senator.
Tho Roosevelt manager smiled as he
spoko.
I'lnns to Address Convention.
It was subsequently learned that
Colonel Roosevelt Is expected to re?
main in Chicago until tho closo of
the convention, and that he. plan* to
appear in the convention hall and may
be given an opportunity to address the
-Convention In his own behalf. Such
I u development, unprecedented In every
I essential, undoubtodly would furnish
material for a sensational demonstru
Jiewa of. the. Colonel's,.coinJnK hla
(lied enthusiasm tn the regular after*
noon meeting of tho Roosevelt dele?
gates at tho Congress Hotel.
The gathering was addressed by sev?
eral of the Roosevelt contesting dele
Kates from Southern States, who had
heon unseated, by the national com?
mittee. John Hays Hanrmond, ?resi?
dent of the National League of Re?
publican <'luhs. is planning a Taft
demonstration meeting for next Mon
day nltrht, the same night of the
Roosevelt meeting. To-day he an?
nounced that hundreds of members of
tho league who will ho hero would
launch a "Taft boosters" club at ih?
Monday night meeting.
The league also has engaged tho
First Regiment Armory, near tho Coli?
seum, whero It Is planned to hold a
"ratification meeting" next Friday
night If the nomination Is made by
that time._
