WHO WILL BE AT HELM
OF AMATEUR LEAGUE?
Several Names Mentioned, and Meeting Satur-i
day Night Will Decide?Many Old Baseball
Heads Volunteer Service to Organization.
W. B. Bradley Invited to Attend.
Prospective members of the Rich?
mond Amateur Baseball League nie |
Worrying their heads at the present
lime about who will bo president.
There arc several names being men?
tioned already for the presidency.
12vi rybody realizes that iuu :li of the
success of the organisation will bo in
the hands of the man who is to occupy
t!..- highest oilice in the tilt of the
members. For that reason it is de?
bit, d to get the b-. st man possible for
the office.
it i~ surprising the amount of inter?
cut which hat been created since The
Tlmes-pispatch first made the sugges
tj I) that ah association (>? organized
along the Hues laid down by profes
Blomt1 leagues. The advantage of such
a plan at once presented Itself to the
bicsi element of amateurs m the city.
Business men. with years ot experience,
agreed to attend the meeting and
give their advice.
liriidley Will He invited.
Owner Bradley will be mvited to at?
tend, and it is believed that he can be
cf much aid. So many things are to be
considered that no advice will go
astray. Indeed, . very one should come
with the Idea of being able to learn
(something. In tills way, taking ad?
vantage of everything that will bo
V-aid. tiie 1. ague should start under the
nif>st favorable condition.".
Heretofore such organizations have
been largely haphazard. While the
meetings held were intended to ac?
complish just what will be accom?
plished at the meeting to be held Sat?
urday night, still conditions were by
r.o means so favorable as they are
now.
Most of the teams which v. Ill form
Hie league "nave the advantage of hav?
ing been organized last year, or even
before, and will start the Geason with
K line-up which has been tried.
Many Apply for Job?.
However, if there are any vacancies
to be supplied, a number of applica?
tions have been received, with the re
cords of the men. and the captains
and managers will be given an oppor
lunity to look over the material, either
for the purpose of tilling a vacancy
or to strengthen any weak places.
John Dunn, than whom there Is no
more staunch supporter el the ama
in this city, has consented to be
:.' tiic meeting, and help out w ith his
advice. Walt Calvin, one of the best
and gamest sports In Richmond, and
who knows the game of has/Lull from
beginning to end, will also bo pres?
ent. If you know Walt you know
that when it comes to .1 knowledge
of baseball he ranks with anybody In
the United States. Dr. William IT.
Parker, another lover of clean sport,
and a favorite witli all the amateur
ball players In Richmond, will also be
on hand.
Remember the meeting is called foi
S o'clock Saturday night, in the busi?
ness offices ->f The Times-Dispatch, 916
LOast Main Street, So make no other
engagement for that hour. Remember
also that this initial meeting is going
to be by far the must important meet?
ing held.
Ii will be then that you make a
start, and you want to be doubly sure
tli.it the start is made right.
Number of TctiniH I p to Meeting.
One of the most important things
to be eonsidered is the selection of a
secretary to the league, so that the ohi?
. lal averages and record of the players
will be properly kept. If he can he in?
duced to accept the ofilcc, E. X. Greg?
ory, Jr.. secretary of the Virginia league
for five years would make a tnr.ftt valu?
able man. lie will be asked to attend the ;
meeting, and it may be that i... can be
induced to accept the office, If the
meeting decides to elect him.
Sota.- question has been raised as to
whether the league i; t" be composed
of si>. or eight clubs. This win be ch

Umpire Rigler Rapidly Rounding
Baseball Players Into
Condition.
[Special to The Times- Dispatch. |
Charlottosvlllc, Vn.. February G.?
More tiisi 11 fifty men have reported for
baseball practice at the University of
Virginia, and a great many mere are
expected but this week If good weather
keeps up. Under the tutelage of Um?
pire Rigler. of the National League, the
men are rapidly rounding into condi?
tion. The main object of ".his prelim?
inary practice is to get the men in
good shape, to loosen their muscles,
and to improve their wind.
Every afternoon the men run around
the track, letting up between times
to toss the ball, and get their arms
limbered. Another thing that has been
practiced is sending the tr.?n around
the bases, not only for the circuit, but
for one. two and three bags, with
stunts in sliding thrown In. With the
preliminary work, when the real ball
playing time comes. Rigler ought to
have a husky and well-conditioned
squad of ball tosscrs to pick his team
from.
Of the old baseball men In college.
Winner, Llle, Blakeney, Carter. Doug?
las, Roan and Captain Hume ore al?
ready out. It is not definitely known
whether or not llonaker will play. The
little Texan played a star game at
shortstop for three seasons, and Is
also a good batter. Me would add much
strength to the nine.
Other men whose work serins prom?
ising are: Bruce Anderson, a young
backstop from the CharlottcsviUc High
School; Herbert, who got Ills letter at
South Carolina; Sheppard, who played
at Richmond College and V. P. I.; Le?

Worlhlngton. Tunstall, Mein tyre and

From present indications, prospects
are bright for a successful season. Tho
applicants thus far have evinced much
enthusiasm, and the belief prevails
that Rigler will turn out a winning

Virginia
Wendling Pays Eloquent Tribute
to Great Captain of Con?
federacy.
That the time will come when there
will be erected by the people of the
nation at Washington a monument to
General Lee. companion to the Wash?
ington Monument, was one of the strik?
ing prophecies made last night by
George R. Wendling in a mustcrfui
lecture- on the great captain of flu
Confederacy. Despite the fact that foi
half the time he spoke by dim candle?
light, nobody left the crowded hall.
"Leo was an incarnation of moral
character, outranking all the 'groat
leaders of the world. He was the S?
prehtcst embodiment of moral force to
be found among modern men. Charac?
ter and self-sacrifice were the great
keys to his life and fame. It was bet?
ter for the South to have lost with Lee
than to have won with some smaller )
man," said Mr. Wendling.
Great Men in Group,
It is a strange fact in history, lie
continued, that great men appear to
be born near together in a reasonably
near time to each other. It was so in
Athens: it was so In Concord; It was
so in Virginia. Make a fifty-mile cir?
cuit, from Spotsylvahia Courthouse, and
there will be found the birthplaces of
Washington, Jefferson, Marshall, Henry,
Clay. Thomas, Madison, Monroe, .1. E.
Johnston; Maury, Light-Horse Harry
Lee and Robert E. Lee.
Sketching the great military career
of Lee, Mr. Wendiing stressed the inci?
dents in Lee's life that brought out.
cameo-like, the strong points of his
character and thought. Lee took the
blame at Gettysburg; at Chaneollors
ville he gave the credit for victory to
Jackson. Had the proper support been
given him he would have won at Get?
tysburg.

getting ready to represent the sover?
eign city of Richmond at the National
Bowling Tournament at Buffalo, to be
held beginning February 2i), and re?
garding bach wooden pin on the alley
as his mortal foe so long as It remained
standing, Whitman, ox-captain of Thf
Times--Dispatch team, and now thr
mainstay of the aggregation, spilled 1
pins last night, until, in the last game '
of the series between the nowspapoi
crowd and the Meat Packers, he un?
fastened 267 from their moorings,
thereby bringing his total for the
series of three games up to 670, and
making an average of 224 Vs; capturing
both high score and high total.
Whitman's score lent courage to tho
team which will represent t lie Rich?
mond Bowling Association at the big
meet. Many were tho comments made,
and prediction is now freely advanced
that, the Planners' score?2,934?made
at the St. Louis meet, and which stands I
as a record for a five-man team up to
date; will lie beaten by the men wear
lug the colors of the Old Dominion.
It must be remembered that tho
team from the local organization will
represent not only this city, but tho
State at large. In fact, they will rep?
resent, tho entire South. And don'*
forget that they realize what It all
means. If they didn't, they would not.
spend the hours on the alleys which they

Members of Board Say Condi?
tions Are Bad, but Vastly
Better Than in Recent Years.

WHAT THEY ASK OF COUNCIL
-
Plan Is to Have Bond Issue j
Amounts Paid at Different
Periods.
Among members of the City School
Board there is a distinct disposition
to deprecate the somewhat hysterical
appeals being made or :i bond Slip
for schools. According to a member
of the School Board, conditions in
many of tho schools are bad. and they
have been so reported to the Commit?
tee on Finance, without varnish and
without sensational statement. To
correct conditions the School Board
asks for $'100,000 within four \ ears, tho
Finance Committee to provide it as
seems best from a bond issue or other?
wise. President Hut/.ler has frankly
stated thai unless the members of ?
the board abandon their private busi- J
ncss and gave their whole time to the.
city they could not undertake to ex?
pend the whole amount tills year, even
we're it available, lie asked for $200,000
by July 1 this year; $200,000 In July
next year, and $100,000 each for the
two yens following, saying that in
that way the board could proceed to
secure and consider plans and loca?
tions, and supervise construction, with?
out being led into hasty and Ill-con?
sidered movements to build badly ar?
ranged structures, .which would be
little better than those in use;
Hotter 'I'hnu Three Vcnri? Ago.
While conditions are undoubtedly
bad?very bad?in some of the schools,
especially as regards sanitary arrange?
ments; ventilation, safety and attrac
| tivenbss, yet. according to a member of
the School Board, tin- conditions are
actually bettet in all the schools than
I they were three years ago, the Bulld
! ing Inspector having insisted on cer?
tain alterations at all tho older bulld
I Ings.
Three years ago. when a number
of organizations and individuals apr
iicarcd before the Finance Committee
I to urge the purchase of an additional
half-block and a doubling of the ap?
propriation for the High School build?
ing, which was adopted, it was stated
that the district school" could wait.
! Now, arcordln? to this member of the
School Board, w hen the district schools
have- been improved by repairs cost?
ing In tlWi tli! ' ,. yt ars an aggregate
of $1.1,000. these sunn organizations
are asserting that tin, district schools
should be. abandoned as until feu- occu?
pancy, whether there are other build?
ings to take their place or not.
Scctlouni Pride ut Stake.
According to a member of the
Finance Committee. sectional differ?
ences have much to do with the agi?
tation, No sooner had a delegation of
Bellcvue patrons presented the ad?
visability of buying the old Van Lew
mansion than the conditions at Madi?
son School were painted In lurid colors.
When Chlnib?razo secured the promise
of an annex. Springfield promptly be*
| gan to cilculaie a petition.
The School Board has taken no part
in these individual tights, and has not
encouraged special delegations to come,
before the Finance Committee. The
board itself had a care til survey ? f
the entire school situation marie and
presented a carefully prepared and
printed report through Chairman
Hutzlet- listing the buildings which it
was proposed to replace, with an es?
timate of the cost, and a statement
of the condition of the various struc
lures in detail. In the mass-meetings
being held by the patrons of certain
schools, the circulation of special pe?
titions and appeals to the Finance
Committee, the School Board has taken
no part. The Finance Committee has
i been informed of the situation in plain
terms, without evasion and without
attempt to paint a more lurid picture
than the facts Justify, and thero tin
School Board rests its case, realizing
that it is a financial rather than an
educational problem that confronts
the city.
I.tixurleK v?. .VrCCH.iitlrii.
The effect of the appeal made by in?
dividual delegations to the Finance
Committee has been somewhat weak?
ened by the fact, that in some Instances
the same people have appeared in dele?
gations asking smooth paving, music j
in the parks, playgrounds, ornamen?
tal street lights and other outlays of
a class which could hardly be called
necessities.
Although his life has been made a
burden to him by various delegations
from mothers' clubs and other bodies,
Chairman Pollard, of the Finance Com?
mittee, has not withdrawn his state?
ment that he is opposed to any Issue
of city bonds ut this time, save for
the erection of the new bridge and
the obligations resting on ihe city by
reason of the annexation ordinance.
According to Mr. Pollard, such other
Horns as are necessary musi bo pro?
vided out of current funds, and the lux?
uries must wait. With an annual bud?
get which will amount to $2,S0O,OOO,
Mr. Pollard sees no reason why all
proper and reasonable demands cannot
bo met. As to the school matter, tho
Council has already Instructed the Fi?
nance- Conimitteo to include in the bud?
get this year two school items, one
for an annex to Chimborazo School,
and for a new school to take the place
of ono hitherto supported privately
by the St. Andrew's Association, mak?
ing a total of $54,000.
Two Buildings Per Yenr.
Several members of the Finance
Committee, have expressed the view
that without any issue of bonds, the
budget this year can provide In addi?
tion to the above, for one modern
large school building, to cost about 60,
000, and that next year two such
buildings can be provided from cur?
rent funds.
