carnival, which will be run in con?
junction with the. first automobile show
in New Orleans, Is in. The final entrant
Is Robert Burman, who lowered the
world's mile truck record at New Or?

S. M. Butler, chairman of Hie con?

carnival, and will arrive Friday.
Australian Disqualified, but
American Proves Far
Superior Boxer.
London, February 21.?BUI Lang,
who once held the heavyweight cham?
pionship of Australia, was no match
for Sum L?ngford, the American
colored pugilist, in a scheduled twen?
ty-round bout at the Olympia to-night.
Langford won In the sixth round, when
J^uig was disqualified, but tne con?
test could not have gone much longer,
as L?ng was almost out when lie com?
mitted the foul,
hix thousand spectators gathered at
the Olympia to witness what they ex?
pected would be a long and fast light,
ami they showed a great disappoint- !
ment when the contest ended so ab?
ruptly. Alter six ilerco rounds, when]
Lang ford was down, the Australian,.
in a dazed sort of way rushed at the
American, and struck him, and im?
mediately the referee proclaimed Lang
ford the winner. The Australian, with
all bis natural advantages; including
an extra fifty-two pounds in weight,
was hopelessly outclassed by the color?
ed lighter, who walked into him and
I him from all angles, where and
when he willed. Lang was all nerves.
11? seemed scared to death, and his
j disqualification was the best thing
that could have happened, for he was
so groggy that ho was bound to have
been put out if he had not transgress*
cd.
The only redeeming feature of
Lang's showing was his sameness in
taking punishment, AS early as the
first round Saht punched him a..l over
tho ring, jn the second, the negro
forced the Australian into a neutral
corner, and dropped him for a count
of nine with terrific left and right
swings to the jaw.
Lang went down again for nine in tho
third round, l>j a right to tho point
bf the Jaw, but camo back in th?
fourth, and stood tip and exchanged
left and right swings, with Longford
at a terrific rate. At that period of
tho bout, both of Lang's byes were al?
most closed, and l?angford was laugh?
ing.
The Austral Ian took a long count,
twice more in the. fifth, but in spite
of the heavy punishment, he carried
the light to f.nngfort! the UCXi time tip.
and In t? fast in-fighting rally, put the
latter down, but (his was more by

SHAFTS FROM SPORTL?HD
By GUS MALBERT.
New organization ha3 Just been
formed In Richmond.
It answers to tho rhythmic title of
"Merchants of tho Blast Furnace," and
Its chief song is "Why buy coal when
hot uir is so cheap?"
Jimmle Sullivan is chief merchant;
Joe Heusler, chief cleric: Billy
Chappcl, assistant chief clerk, with
Buck Hooker, George Cowan, Frank
Blgblc and Dutch Revelle us peddlers
extraordinary.
"Old times" was tho subject under
discussion yesterday between laps, for
Sullivan would have his run around tho
diamond.
Sullivan -warbled a few strains of
the ditty he sang back in '96, when lie
caught Jesse Tannehill, who was then
working for the Roanokc Club.
Joe told of tho trunk ho grabbed be?
cause the management of the team In
those days refused to come across with
a measly $20 which it owed him.
Buck Hooker and Frank Bigble ro- j
called with glee the many times they
"stole In" at Island Park Just to see
"Fop" T?te knock one to the fishes. i
Then cahie tiny Billy Chappel, who j
lilted to this tune: "I remember when
Billy Nash threw one to 'Pop' so hard
that all 'Pop* could do was to grunt." i
And Billy Is only seventeen, he says.
Now thnt the Brady matter 's set- !
tied, presume that Danville will feel
sorry for the mean things some peo?
ple up there said.
"Will wonders never cease?" No,
Mabel: not until the season begins,
and then they will wend their way
homewards, to blossom forth some- ,
where next season, the same kind of '
wonders as before.
My mistake, old ton. I know there
was a receiving ship Franklin, and I
presumed it was on water, hut !f it
isn't in Hampton Roads, put it wher?
ever you want It, Same thing to me.
Methinks 1 hear great rushing of
air as if a cyclone were upon us. But
peace. It is merely the vociferations of
the Booker-l-lanuon-Clarkc Jerkwater
outlaw conglomeration in session in
Norfolk.
Vorbout will be here on March 12,
says Owner Bradley. Baker may come
- ?"^^HlPTIflil HUI ?BB^IWHMMI
in a little earlier, and from then on
they will straggle along- at the rate
of about ono a day.
First game, March -'j, with "ftew
York Americans.
Sullivan is still gumshoeing around
the woods looking for a likely first
baseman to ill! Dobson's shoos until
he arrives.
Get tho Bunting boo out of your bon?
net. Ho won't bo here this season, as
much as all of us would like to sou
hlnb in our midst.
Henry Nelson, horseman par excel?
lence, and a ball player of much abil?
ity, having played with the Manches?
ter team last year, may go to Golds
boro this season. Ho has boon highly
recommended by Owner Bradley.
Clarence Barfoot, tho local pitcher, '
has not yet reported to Managor Sul
11 van.
By the way, saw a letter which Dutch !
Revelle received from the New York
Americans telling him to report to Hot
Springs on March l. It looks as if the
report from New York to the effect
that Dutch would go direct to Athens
was not true.
Somo track meet is that ono which j
will be held in the open by Richmond ?
Col lego.
Bowlers are going some when a team
makes an average of 900 for three con?
secutive games. That's what tho .'ew
olers did Monday night at tho Newport
Alleys.
Williams was top man, with 607, ?
while Spilling was right on his heels,
with 565.
Whitman is improving, and It is now >
thought that he will be able to make
the Buffalo trip.
Frank Bllley is always on hand with
his laugh and his famous pat on the
back, which keeps the men in good
humor.
Everything Is humming at the
Jamestown "Jockey Club track. Get?
ting ready for the big spring meet.
Ad Wolgast declares that ho is going
after K. O. Brown with both hands
when they meet again. Goon* thing to
do, and probably he will need a few
more hands at that.
SALARY LIMIT TALK
MAKES FANS LAUGH
League Magnates Will Decide What Is to Be
Done When. Meeting Is Held?Question of
Salaries No Joke, but Business Proposition. !
BY GUS .HALIIERT.
Every little while some wag, intend?
ing to be serious, writes a funny story
about the salary limit in the Virginia
League. The stories have become so
frequent of late that a great majority
of the public has doubtless come to the
conclusion thnt Jt was indeed thought?
ful on tho part of the people who first
promulgated organized baseball to es?
tablish such a thing as a salary limit.
It lias come to bo a most fertile source
when the thought fountain runs dry or
when the brain becomes laggard and
refuses to yield anything worth while.

ful seekers after fame, a salary limit j
Is the sum and substance of baseball. |
It was devised, intended for and Is tho
means of making organized baseball a j
business possibility in leagues com- j
posed of cities with a small popula?
tion. Practically every minor leuguc,'
outside tho American Association ami
the Eastern League, is confposed of j
large and small cities, and the salary ?
limit adopted Is always such as will
make baseball profitable in the smaller
places.
Other Leagues Do Not Afreet Virginia.
The fact that In some leagues com
posed of cities with less aggregate
population than the cities in the Vir?
ginia League have larger salary limits
thun has the Virginia League is not
argument In favor of Increasing or
diminishing the salary limit in this
league. The Virginia League must be
guided by what it can afford to pay.
li it ib possible to make,baseball profit-'
able in tho Virginia League under an
increased salary limit, then increase it;
if it will not be profitable, judging by
past experiences, then it should remain
as it is.
The people of Virginia want baseball,
and they want the best baseball pos?
sible within the limit that can be af?
forded. The people of Virginia realize
that baseball is out of the college sen?
timental class and that it Is a business
proposition, and they would rather hays
a little lower grade of baseball, which
gives tho men who have put up tho
money a chance to get some return on
the investment, than to have no base?
ball at all. Nor do the people of Vir?
ginia expect to see big league ball with
minor league incomes.
How Much Will You Give?
Naturally there are a few persons,
greatly Impressed with their own imX
portance, who are crying down tho
baseball which the Virginia League will
givo for J1.200. To those people J
should say, if 1 wore tho ownar of a
franchise in the Virginia League; "How
much money will you invest in a ball
club in any of the cities in tho Vir?
ginia League, .outside of Richmond, it
the salary limit is raised to meet your
standard of what baseball should be'.'"
That is the final test. Talking never
paid bills. The common sense of It all
is that old saw about cutting your gar?
ment according to your cloth.
To talk of Richmond being aJone ben?
efited by Increasing the salary limit is
foolish. Richmond would ho no more
benefited than would any other town.
The only thing that can be said in this
regard is that Richmond could prob?
ably afford a higher salary limit than
any other city in the league. But It
Is hot a question of what city or cities
will be benefited. It is a question of
expediency, entirely up to tho league
I directors, who, with all of the data
as to past experiences before them,
I will be able to vote intelligently on
the matter when it Is brought up at tho
league meeting, if it Is brought tip.
There Is just one other thing in this'
connection which suggests itself, and
that is the matter of prejudging tho
class of ball players which will be
brought to the Virginia League. To
prejudge these men is absolutely tin-:
fair. Give thorn a chance. Lot them
.show what they can do, and then, If
the goods are nol delivered, condemn.
That's the dupe And If you condemn,
then talk of raising the limit.

AIMED AT LORDS
Measure Will Accomplish His?
toric Change in Parlia?
mentary System.
London, February 21.?The govern?
ment bill to abolish the veto power of
the House of Lords, which, If the gov?
ernment Is able to pass as it stands,
promises to accomplish a historic
change in the parliamentary system of
Great Britain, was Introduced In the
House, of Commons to-day by Prcmlei
Asquilh.
No ono professes to foresee the out?
come, of the constitutional but tu. The
nieasuro, the Premier said, had gone,
before the electorate at the receni
elections, and had been Indorsed by the
return of its supporters to the House
or Commons with a majority of 12C.
Mr. Asquith declared that when the
Lords rejected the budget of 1009 they
committed political suicide. History I
would say that it was tho most stupen?
dous act of political blindness ever
perpetrated.
Hereditary In origin, irresponsible In
tho exercise of Its powers and over?
whelmingly partisan in its actual com?
position?that was the body to which
the law Intrusted the right to delay and
check the considered decisions of elect?
ed representatives of the people;
The Premier said that lie did not
propose to dispense with a second
chamber. Mr. Auqulth said that the
political fortunes of the representative?
of the government were at stake. He
concluded:
"The government presents this bill
as the first and most urgent step It can
take towards the attainment of perfec?
tion."
A. J. Balfuur, leader of the opposi?
tion, commented upon the absence of
all evidences of a conciliatory spirit In
the Premier's speech. All were agreed,
he said, that there should be a modifi?
cation of tho relations of tho tWfl
houses, but the reconstltution of th?
House of Lords should be tho subject
of cautious deliberation. The bicam?
eral system must prevail, and the
Ifouso of Commons must he the pre?
dominant partner.
The "veto bill" introduced to-day if !
described as "a bill to make provision
with respect to the powers of the
House of Lords In relation to thoso of
tho House of Commons and to limit
the. duration of Parliament."
Tho preamble recites that "it Is ex-j
pcdlent that provision shall be made!
for regarding the relations between
the two houses of Parliament," and
that "It Is intended to substitute for the J
House of Lords as It at present exists
a second chamber, constituted on . a
popular instead of hereditary basis." j
This substitution, It Is pointed out,
cannot be made Immediately, however,
and future provision must be made by i
Parliament limiting and defining the,
powern of the new Becond clytmbcr.

Saving Time
Means Money
Owners of teams making deliveries on
Church Hill and all the northeastern
section of the city will save time deliver?
ing goods or going to that section of the
city by using the new steel viaduct from
Thirteenth and Marshall Streets to
Twenty-fifth and Marshall Streets,
Church Hill. The toll h very reasonable,
and any one will save much more than
that amount going or sending to and
from that section of the city and the
centre to business districts as well aa the
West End.
