HUNG OUT IN SEAVILLE
Tidewater Fizzle Is Exploded and Politics Behind
Move Disclosed, Not at All to the Surprise of
tine Knowing?Danville Talks.
)J\ (.1 S >l A Ml Ml IT. ,
s.. Hint Tidewater League is nothing
after all i>ui a paper (iffair, designed,
invented and nurtured fur the sole
purpose of forcing the Virginia
League ti> let in Portsmouth and New?
port News. Most of its "smelled a j
mouse" when the good gen tent en oil
Norfok and vieitiiiy first perpetrated I
thy joke, hut few of us resized that,
the H?h tors of the liny l>ut>t>le were
inventing tin Archimedean method or
hoisting the Virginia League bodily i
from its intrenched position, so that]
the two eitles referred to could be
for.red into any crevice which might
appear during the hoisting period.
It w as a beautifully conceived piece j
of work, ami deserves better fate than
it will receive. For l.etng able to
pollticate oven where there is no poli?
ties I'll stack Norfolk and Norfolk
county against the rest <?f the State,
of Virginia They would turn a fu?
neral int.. a political meeting it' tha
proprieties would permit, and some?
times they stop not even for the pro?
prieties. So why should there be sur?
prises when the fertile minds or the
nun who stood sponsor for the Tide?
water League assumed that, by adroit?
ly foisting the scheme on the people,
a sentiment would he crcnicd against
the Virginia League which could only
be allayed by admitting Newport News
I aiid Portsmouth 7
Helped by Malcontent*.
What probably lent weight to this;
lin> of reasoning was the fact Unit a
lew disgruntied purveyors of publicity
willingly lent their aid because the
present arrangement of the Virginia
League, and the conduct of its affairs,
prevented tin usual augmentation ot
the exchequer which In previous years
had prevailed. It was great logic, Mn h
logic as take.- ns back to the days of
the master logicians, hut, tinforlunatc
1: . the several cogs designed for r inning
the machinery of the improvised league
failed io lit properly, and now. with
dissolution Staring the makeshift In
the face, comes the vague yet posi?
tive hint I ha t all could be amicably
settlcd by admitting Newport News
and Portsmouth within the councils
of the Virginia League.
1 am not qualified to say what will
be tin action Taken at the league
meeting, f do hot know if the matter
will be introduced, but I am lirtiily
of the opinion that the Virginia League
would be furnishing the rope with
which to hang itself should it allow
cither of the two cities to become- a
I part of the league. Neither Newport
j News nor Portsmouth is ripe for base
I ball at this lime. There may come
I a day w hen it will be advantageous
I and wise to take in these two elites,
j but that day is not now. facts are
i cold things to deal with, but Investiga
! tion has failed to show that either of
the cities so anxious t>> become a part
of the league would prove an asset.
Rven though It he charged as heresj
to admit it. the Virginia League has
just passed through a most trying
time. It was a battle for the very
existence of the league. With five
losers last year, and with one team
actually quitting, the time had ar?
rived when the game of baseball m
Virginia had to be regarded as a busi
i r,es.? proposition, to be run on busi?
ness prim ipics. giving fair value for
I the price charged, yei living within
the Inehme .of Ihe league.
Lena \ earn Arrived,
I The seven years o? plenty had gone
J by. ami the owners of franchises in
1 the league wer? face in face with
? tin seven lean years. In the days of
j prosperity there had developed on the
' part of the owners a spirit of profit
gacy. all very weII in its way. but
destined to prove the undoing of the
Hague. Things had been going so
smoothly, the quarters and dimes had
been rolling im., the tills so regularly,
that no one thought for a minute of
the time wie Ii a Satiated public Would
quit going to sno the games for a
while.
Consequently; when the league nod
i last fall it faced a depleted treasury.
Kv crybody was crying to retrench.
' The men present were, in cur liegt. The
I first and most important thing was
a reduction of li e salary limit. It was
clearly proved Ihn/the mileage buga?
boo was a phantasy; that the. money
J paid to toe railroads was as nothing
compared to tin reckjoss expenditure
j of money for hall players. l'orts
I mouth applied -to the league for a fran?
chise: th. then owner.- of the Norfolk
cliib positively refused to come Into
the league if Danville was a part of
the organization,- and would em sent to
no arrangement which did not Include
Portsmouth in the league.
That phase of the situation is of too
recent occurrence to need recital here.
Then came Ihr sale of the Norfolk,
franchise to othei people, and with the
sale resulted a solidification of th.
league which hinl been. Impossible tin*
der the previous arrangement. After
j the waters had been smoothed and the
! ....Hing was good, the Till own l er spec?
tre was spimng by the malcontents,
who gnw green with envy ai (he pros
peel Ivo .prosperity of the Virginia
League Now the cat i? out of the
bau-. We know where we "are at."
<l,\Ve can see the meaning behind It all.

le.t them go through with tlicit' pro?

1 w oh hi do It I had tin vote of the
Virginia League.
Illicit Hooker und Danville.
Fli' several days past | have been
writing about Buck Hooker and his
treatment ;-t tli< hands id' the bah vi l i e
elub. As I have tried to make (dear.
Hooker is of no more Interest to mc
than Is tiny other player in the Vir?
ginia League. lie simply represents
one of several who have been given
what appears on the surface as rather
rough treatment
Within the last day or two | have
conic Upon some Information which
_ hcetris to put a different liu-hr on the
I question. There are always two sides
I to a question, and apparently Dan?
ville's position offers some oxtcnuat
; lug ? ir, timstan. es. Danville's claim
Ms that Hooker lias been overpaid fpt
I,several seasons; that lie came from a
class "D" league to the Virginia League
j after having to on let go by Clnclii
j hail; that he is a hasehall player whose
I best work is behind him. and that In?
stead of Increasing in value, he is
growing less valuable each year.
1 also understand that there js llttl"
likelihood >d" the National Commission
granting any redress to [looker. Ntim
. hers of sirrillui Cases have come before
I tue commission, and In each ease Die
j opinion <>f Farreli lias been upheld.
I Of Course, l cannot cute, into a dls
j cussiori of tills phase, for the reason
I that l am not familiar with what the
I National <'ommis-!on has beeil doing,
j nut. regardless of everything that lias
h.-'ii said, and regardless of opinion to
j the contrary. I still feel that a ball
I player is worth what he can get, and
i if llboker can earn more money than
Danville offers him. he should be al?
lowed to play ball where he can draw

Talk of a player being drafted if
be is good listen.; well enough, but
there are ntiiriheis of 'nail players
whom team.- ar> willing to pay higher
salaries than thev have been previous?
ly earning, but ior whom they do n.-t
want to pay the draft or purchase
price. in business, if a man Is not
.vorth more money to his employer
than he is being paid, he can quit and
seek work from another employer. In
1 basci. ill. if a player enters the profes
I sional ranks in organized baseball, and
belongs to a club, he must either work
for the salary which that elnr, offers
or else quit the game, unless he Is
fortunate enough to be bought or
drafted.
Of course, an employer has the right
to cut a man's salary, but the man has
the alternailve of quitting. Not quit?
ting his profession, or b'ing driven
from . by tbe arbitrary rules of that
prof..;--.-iop hut of seeking higher w?ge
in the same profession from other em?
ploy.".-. Dahvllle may he perfectly
.????nr. and right in the stand taken,
but if Hooker can prove that he has
jobs waiting for him which will' pay
hlm more money than he will receive

city, it will he a hard matter to con?

HOT POLITICAL !
FIGHT PROMISE
Effort to Return to Primary Sys?
tem Meets With Stiff
Opposition.
(Special to The Times-Dispatch. 1
Lynch burg;, Va.. March 7.?If tlie. pro?
posed effort to do away with the pri?
mary in Campbell county next Monday,
in favor of u return to the old con?
vention idea of selecting candidates j
I for the curious county offices to be
] voted upon next November, as well as
j for the selection of a candidate for
[State Senate from t tie district com?
posed of the city and cbuhty, is made,
in Stilt fight Is to be expected.
; There are Democrats in Campbcli
county who declare that they do nut
1 propose to submit to the suggestion;
land these will go to Kustburg next
Monday to appear before the county
committee to right the proposition to
tile bitter end.
It is understood to-day "that the mat?
ter will be referred to State Chairman
; KUysou, of Richmond, who will be ask?
ed if it is within tlie province of the
I committee to provide for a convention
j rather than a primary, which lias been
I the custom for Hie past ten years for
the selection of party candidates for
! othec.
i Volney K. Howard, the well-known
'attorney, who is a resident of the
county, said to-day that he would go
I before tlie committee Monday sind pro
1 test over any such action, being ready.
; if necessary, to lead a movement to
I defeat the idea. In talking about the
i proposition Mr. Howard said:
] "I am anxious to know who are the
. advocates of a change from the pri
itiary method of nominating county of
tiers and members of the Legislature
It would be interesting to it ear the
reason for the proposition The pri?
mary is and for some time has been
to all intents, the election. In other
words, nomination in the D<.>Oralto
primary in Campbell and Lynchburg I
lias boon 'Univalent to an ? ? I <- ? t i i ? n
Does anybody doubt that these pri?
ma ri es have retlCCtCd the will of tho
people? Is there a doubt that anothei
primary would fail to trulv register;
, their will will* Is anybody tired of j
I submitting to the will of the people?
; Does anybody doubt that the people
will require that they be allowed to
attend to their own business? Why
: such i proposition V
I It seems already, although the prop
I osition was only made public yester
' day afternoon, that the suggestion w ill
. be the means of getting a iarge crowd
? at Husttuirg next Monday, and. if th<>
I suggestion is attempted. that tlierr
will be one ..f the hottest fights that j
tho politicians of Campbell county
I have had on their hands for quite a
time.

' ai/.cd the great need for a full (lcpar.tr
I nicht of education In the college, for.
said he, ??over fifty new teachers am
needed yearly within the sweep of a
twenty-mile radius: from our plat

The aim of the lecturer wns to set
f"th the present views concerning the
Importance of Interest as a motive
force In education. This was brought
; out more forcibly h.y contrasting- It
with the older method of discipline,
wit Ich holds that education is funda?
mentally a matter if training rather
[than the acquiring of information. In?
terest aim.-- to correlate the school and
life. The child begin.- to study geou
I raphy i>v learning of his city block or
I his owii country neighborhood, and
later Is prepared to read and remcm
ber things about the larger world.
I Reference was also made to the mail
