Pea IUI la. Constitution for Richmond Ath? letic Association Is Practi? cally Adopted at Conference. I A mass of work was dono by the com : mitte? appointed to draft a constitu? tion and by-laws for the Richmond Athletic Association, at the meeting held yesterday afternoon In the blue room of the Central Y. M. C. A. ; Kvery member was in his place when chairman Hazen called the meeting to (order. Physical Director lleithard rep? resented the V. M 0 A ; Physjpal In? structor .Jones represented the John Marshall Athletic Association, Mr. Mc Sweeney was on hand for McClill's Catholic I'nion; Sheppard Crump took care of the Hiues, Mr. I,ovenstein. for I the Y. M II. A Allen Kaville for the Virginia Boat Club, and Dr. Hazen, Ifeg chairman, for the Medical College af Virginia. In addition. Secretary ? McKee. of the Y M. C. A.. Director I Tousey, of the Church Civic Assoeia- j tion. and representatives of the press ' were at the conference. The constitution was practically adopted. Much discussion arose as to the representation each of the affil? iated organizations should have In the councils of the federation, some hold? ing that there should be a delegate for j each UM members. This was finally voted down and it was agreed that each organization would be entitled to one I voting member, but that no organiza- I tion, p. member of the federation, with less than fifty members, should be al lowed to vote. Probably the greatest discussion arose over the question us to whether the federation should seek tho protection of the Amateur Athletic I'nion and this question was still unsettled at ad? journment. A committee of three was appointed to discuss the question and to report to the full committee at a| meeting to be held Saturduy afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. at 4 o'clock, at which lime the by-laws will be considered and officers selected. While the federation idea has rot Ibeen officially adopted by the commit? tee it is sure to prevail, though tho federation will pledge itself to look after the interests of the unattached man. boy or girl who might want to take some active part in athletics, and attempt to organize them so that they, too, might partake of the benefits uccruing from organization. The dis? cussions while comprehensive, were at all times pleasant, each member being desirous of hearing all sides of the question The BlUSS, at an organization, natur? ally want affiliation with tho A. A. I'., for the reason that an open track meet will be held between the Blues and Rich? mond College, und this meet must be held tinder the sanction of the A. A. V. It is hoped and believed the* the final solution of the question will be satis- | factory to all hands concerned. When the committee meets again Saturday afternoon work will be expedited because most of the men will bo familiar with the tentative con? stitution and by-laws drafted by Mr. Reithard. of the Y. M. C. A. Both in dlviduallp and collectively the mem bad felt that a great amount of good, probably the greatest amount of good, could be accomplished by going after the fellows who do not belong to any : organization. The organization is on a good way toward ultimate success and when Temporary Chairman Tousey calls the meeting of tho entire body after the committee has completed its ? work. Richmond will face a new era in , the development of her young men, boys and girls. NINETEEN MEN GIVEN LETTERS Yellow Jackets Reward Football j Players?Vaughan Named Ias Captain for 1913. Ashland.

Griffin, formerly of Richmond, now of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. Oriffin once wa* a well known character around Richmond. At intervals he mays baseball, but his principal pursuit, especially when the snow flies, is out ciaming the clam, in other words, he makes tho Sphinx look or sound like a five o clock tea or a church ?ociable. But he has written, so listen to his chirps . thought I would write you a few lines to let you know how the world goes above the Mason and Dixon line." he begins his lilt, which, while not overly long on information, smacks somewhat of a king in the Land of Highbrow. But to continue I suppose you think 1 have a sort of established or silent partnership in the game of news, but the truth of the matter Is I have been at a standstill myself, waiting to pull off one or two deals, but so far there is nothing doing, and I urn expecting on each mail something definite. You know "There'si fire In the furnace, but the enow is on the ground, i nere s dope in every curner, but stickers can't be found? not at this time of year, anyway." Continuing along this line, Mr Orlffln confidingly narrates that ha thinks oreenahna is a regular ball player, and that he will prove even better than Kiod tirafl. u rather good recommendation. To add a little lustre to tho name of Bres n*han. feeling that Cousin Roger, since he loft the Henpecka. has hist much of his glow, Mr Oriffin imparts the information that Bresnahan Is even better than the more distinguished peison bearing the same patronymic. I Really. Oriffin's letter is alluminatlng. about as Illuminating as a cloudy n,gnt with the street lights gone wrong. Tennant Is coming back because Steve reefs that his speed Is going to help, if it can be properly directed. Charles will also join the clan, while tho other garden proposition is still wide open for some energetic and enterprising youngster who wants to win his spurs On the Infield u Wl" stand pat with Raley at first, himself at second, Newton at short and Bresnuhan at third As catchers, thsre win be John Mace, Rogers and Lusky. Ntevo is vey oertuin that he will never try another season an old head back of the line. Of pitchers, ho haa an assortment of rive already ? Harry ??riffin, Charlie strain. Harvey Bussey. Btirlesbn and Pitt?but will add two recruits about the middle of March, and the rest of the clan will follow about the 34th. He semis regards anil greetings to all of the funs, and adds that he ie "just aching for the rug to decorate the new park." Secretary Bradley says that he will begin sending out contracts Fndav and hopes to have the work completed by Saturday In all there will be fourteen confraots to turn loose for the consideration of the men who are expected to wear Colt uniforms next season. Bob Carter will not return. That has been determined upon Charlie Shaffer is back on the Job. Ho reports himself a? entirely well and ready to do his share toward making the league a big success Just at present he Is worried about pitchers. Young McCrary has been ut school ull winter and may or may not return Finnerun went to Philadelphia with Dodge and another of his"tafT has taken a civil service examination for the revenue department of the Government. leaving him something to worry about. r-haTer is anxious to get h..ld of Jimmio Huicher. the local sandlot. but finds that h i is not alone us there use one or two othei clubs in the circuit who are bidding | jr his services. Jlmmie ? tpects to start with Richmond College this Spring and hasn t decided whether ttm wants to play professional baseball or not. Doc Avers still insists that he will not. report to Clark Griffith at Charlotts TiHe When the Nationals go Into Spring training quarters Doc will be in the ?tidal of his examination and he will not leave them for baseball He is perfectly willing to do anything Griffith asks of him in the way of keeping In condition. As a matter ol lu'-t the boy is always in shape He works out in the gym each day, has no bad habits and a a perfect physical specimen What he might lose through nut reporting with the rest of the squad is the guidance of Griffith who could teach him a lot ?f tricks of the trade. If Griffith persists in hie demand that Ayers report with the rest of his men. he will lose a mighty valuable man. William Abbot Witnian, who headed the United States League last vear. is reported to bo on his way to Richmond to confer with Captain Morgan R. Mills, relative to establishing a club here in the reorganised league the coming season. Mr. Wittnau will be welcomed but this time the people will have to be shown before they tie their faith to an organization which promised so much last season and which failed to pan out. Like Joe Jackson, commenting on Washington being in the league, we say, too, if Richmond Is in, one link in the chian is already broken Willie Hoppe Is setting things afire in the billiard world of Washington. If some of our local men are on to their Jobs let them get busy und try to get the champion here lor un exhibition game. It would be worth the effort. The business like manner in which the committee named to draft a consti? tution and by-laws for the Richmond Athletic Association went after the work in hand spells success for the movement. Never have a body of men given more serious thought to the task assigned. Four teams in class A is not a bad start for BjL hmond in the intercity bowl? ing tournament. Before the time cornea for the nVitry list to close this number will probably be increased by two or three additional teams. The Phillies are really sold. Without endeavoring to be funny, we might say t hat the deal is locked. The Pittsburgh man made good, and is now the head and shoulders of the ex-Kogel clan. Horace it: the meanwhile having purchased himself a hotel at Atlantic City. If Charlie Dooin can drive the cross-eyed girl to cover, can rid himself of that inevitable jinx, lie should give Pittsburgh and the Giants a merry chase for the rag. By the way, the wire reports yesterday, failing to record a game with the Giants for the Colts, was all wrong McOraw plays in Norfolk on April 3 and comes here the following day. That's straight from McOraw, who doesn't know how the error occurred. Frank Chance ie to play first base and Hal Chase is to play second Now we are waiting for some of tho facetious to remurk that Chase has his Chance. The rapid decrease in the holdout ranks is not surprising. Holdouts usually I diminish in direct ratio with the winter pocket change, and It's been nearly four months since a payday. Most of those stout holdouts are now fighting how they can make a touch to tide them over, for it's a vastly longer time from Feb? ruary 15 to March 13 than it is from October I to February 15, despite the apparent paradox. Again we arise to remark. Fannys there will be a meeting of the rules commit? tee on the Amateur Baseball Commission, some time, somewhere MACK NOT AFTER J MMIE THORPE Boston and Pittsburgh Can Have Star Athlete for All McGillicuddy Cares. Philadelphia, January 15?Jim Thorpe, champion athlete of the world emerged from his tepee at Guthrie. Okla.. yesterday, and opined that he didn't have to go back to the Carlisle Indian .School if he didn t want to. He said he would become a professional baseball player, and mentioned the Boston Red Sox. Pittsburgh and the Athletics as teame that had made him offers. Thorpe may get a chance with the Red s,,x or the Pirates, hut Manager Connie Mack, of the Athletics, said last night that he was not after the remarkable Indian and couldn't exactly see where he could fit in the Athletics' machine. "He's said to he a fine ball player." said Manager Mack, "and be was high? ly recommended to me. But I've thought it over, and I'm not going after him." Carroll Brown deprived the govern? ment postal authorities of 2 cents yes? terday by personally conducting his contract to the Athletics' business of? fices, at Shlhe Park. Carroll resides id Atlantic City. He is a fine young Pitcher, and. together with Houck. made the most favorable impression of all Connie Mack's pitching recruits last season. Barring mishap, he bids fair to be at the top of his form this year, and may be one of the mainstays of the Ma< k staff .

LYNCH LEAVES TO ATTEND MEETING Johnson's Illness Causes Change - of Base for National Com? mission's Gathering. President Thomas Lynch of the Va- ? tional League will leave here to-day 1 for Chicago, where he will a;tend the postponed annual meeting of the Na- j tional Commission, whu h will he held in the offices of the American League . in the Fisher Building to-morrow. The meeting was scheduled for Cin? cinnati on January C. but was post? poned on account, of be Illness of Ban i Johnson in Chicago. As a coi.rtesy to Johnson the com- ' mission decided to have its meeting in Chicago, instead of in Cincinnati, where the con.mission has-its offices. Garry Herrmann. < bairman of the 1 commission, and President Lynch trans- ' acted a great deal of the commiseion'a business last week. However, the commission will have to elect officers and approve the annual report at the Chicago meeting. The minor league salary limit question also wilt be taken up again, though Herrmann and Lynch already have de? cided not to enforce the individual limit. The postponed meeting of the commission is not expected to last more than twe days. It is not probable that President ' Barrow of the International League will attend the meeting. Barrow was at the Cincinnati conference last week, and caught a bad cold, which has kept him Indoors ever since he returned to New York Barrow is a member of tbe com? mittee appointed by the National As? sociation to bring the slary limit ques? tion before the commission.
