DO-NOTHING SESSION
LIVES UP TO ITS NAME
Virginia League Magnates Fail
to Elect Presiding Officer
for Organization.
DANVILLE NOT REPRESENTED
War of Words, Sometimes Acri?
monious, Marks Meeting.
Meet Again November 6.
BY GUS MALDEHT.
Petersburg. Va., September 18.?The
?"do-nothing" session of the Virginia
League was held here to-day. begin?
ning at 12 o'clock, and adjourned at 2
o'clock, having accomplished nothing,
not even the usual Jollification which
generally marks the fall meeting
There were near-lights, many remarks
which closely bordered on the acr'
monlous, and special features, sup?
posedly sacred to the inner confines,
but which, through the closely hidden
methods of the tribe, at once became
public property. And Petersburg was
formally awurded the pennant for the '
seuson of 191.1.
The storm which has been brewing, '
lo, these many months broke. Cham,)
Clark, when it comes to polltlcatlng
j has nothing on suave and pleasing
I gentlemen who essay the role of mag?
nates within the confines of Virginia.
After engaging In a few preliminary
rounds. W. Gordon McCabe. the genial. ,
albeit forceful representative of the
Cockade City Baseball Corporation,
arose and delivered himself of the
opinion that the meeting to-day was
perfectly qualified to enter Into the
election of a president of the league,
either for a term of years, or for Just
one more year.
Something of the sort had been an?
ticipated, and* W, B. Bradley, owner
of the Richmond baseball team,
strengthened by the opinion of Special
Attorney William H. Sands, avowod,
averred and declared that It would bo
wholly unfitting at this time to namo
a chief executive. It was. In the opin?
ion of the P.ichmond magnate, an un?
heard-of and totally unexpected and
undeslred precedent and entirely dis?
courteous to Danville, pride of the
Virginia League, one of its pillars in
fact, and not represented at the meet?
ing.
Danville la MIhkIok.
Every other club was represented.
Lynchburg, by Bruce Wilkerson; Koa
? noke. by Elmore Heins; Norfolk, by
1 Woodward Allen. RicrurrCnd. by W. B
' Bradley and Advisory Counsel W. H
': Sands, and Petersburg, by W. G- Mc?
Cabe and II- B- Prltchard, while Denny
j Perklnson, another Cockade enthusi?
ast, was urcund at Intervals to lend
his helping hand. But when the roll
was called, as before stuted, Danville
was missing. Then the fun began.
Elmore Heins held a telegram from
Danville, stating that he could voto
the proxy of the club somehow ot
other Bradley got wind of that mess?
age, and goi busy on the wire. As a
result another message was received,
stating that Heins had the proxy all
right, but that t..o proxy did not enti?
tle him to vote for a chief execu..ve.
Wilkerson, of Lynchburg, was with
Bradley, of Richmond, : i desiring that
the election of officers be postponed to
a later date, and both were aided by
Special Counsel Sands
Everybody was up a tree. ' Nobody
knew Just what to do. The Peters?
burg representatives were anxious to
go Into an c'.ectlon, und so were Heins
and Allen, ot Roanoke and Norfolk, re?
spectively. But no one was willing
to hurt the feelings of Danville. So
what was to be done? Answer; A
meeting will b held In this city No?
vember 6, at which time a president
will be selected.
Bradley Uecomea Heated,
However, It must not be gathered
that the final conclusion was reached
by such easy stages as might be pre?
sumed from the foregoing. Heins call?
ed Danville over the telephone. Then
Danville called Hines, and finally each
was calling the other. This happened
downstairs In the telephone booth at
the Stratford Hotel, In room 15 of
which the meeting was going on.
While Heins, wsb having his troubles
with the telephono girl, upstairs an?
other little bit of excitement was go?
ing on- Bradley had become heated in
his remarks Some personalities were
Indulged in. The result was that
Bradley was made a flat offer of 115,
OOU for his franchlso, lock, stock and
barrel Of course, he did not accept.'
He has other, plans, and Instead of
talking business he tried to placate the!
Individual making the offer by button?
holing him and escorting him to the
hall without the conference chamber
and indulging In a heart to heart talk.
Williams had tg sit through It all, i
and the occasion was not at all pleas
ing tu him. In fact. It might bo char?
acterized as embarrassing. Here was a
man In the position of a receptive can?
didate for an office which he has not
yet held for a year, made to appear as
if he were seeking the office in the
face of avowed opposition. But h?
kept an even keel, nnd the storm af?
fected, every one more than it did him
Other matters of grave Importunco
were lost sight of In the battle for a
strategic position on the presidential
question, and Bradley has won out for
the nonce at least
At the November meeting It may bo
different. Rumor at this writing ap?
pears to point to the assumption that
Bradley hopes to havo the Danville
franchise transferred to Newport News,
Down In that town he has friends, and
none more close than George. Booker,
who Is tho head, shoulders, feet, hands
and all of baseball on the Peninsula.
Should Bradley effect his plans, then
the league will be evenly divided, Pe?
tersburg, Norfolk and Roanoke stand?
ing for Williams, with Lynchburg,
Newport News and Richmond "agin"
him. Just as predicted In these columns
many months ago.
Gather not that it was stated out
in meeting that opposition to Williams
would arise at the November meeting.
Nay, nay, such wsb not the case. There
were no o.ort remarks which mfght
lead to this conclusion To tho con?
trary, Bradley stated at regular Inter?
vals that he might?get the might?
vote for Williams, but he left the very
natural conclusion that he might also
be opposed to that gentleman.
Matter Is Deferred.
Though it was pointed out by Messrs.
Heine and McCabe in eloquent language
that the eleotlon of a president at this
time would add to the efficiency of tha.t
official; that if a successor to the In?
cumbent was to bA selooted his should
not be burdened with any of the pol?
icies of his predecessor; that the selec?
tion of a capable corps of umpires
would be more probable If tho man
who was to gather the Indicator hand?
lers ,wore given more time in whloh
to do his work; that any official occu?
pying the high office of president of
the Virginia League" should know at
Icaat ninety days before the exp'ratlos i
of his form whether of not his services
would be required for another year 01 1
term of years?none of these thing*
appealed to Messrs. Bradley and Wil
kcrson, who stood firm In their opinion
that the matter should be deferred
until somo time later, and. strange to
say, that opinion prevailed.
It was totally unsatisfactory to those
on the outside. The politics of thel
meotlng was so apparent that no
question waa left as to the determi?
nation of some Interests In the league
to endeavor to get rid of Williams. All
of the glowing leports of a successful
season for the league were set at
nuught when the financial statement
was presented and adopted. It was
clearly shown by these tlgures that the
league was not any too secure from a
purely financial standpoint, and from
a playing, standpoint?well, the funA
know host as to this. '
Deficit of ?0,000.
The secretary's report was not made
public. What was learned was learned
only from the remarks which wert
turned loose at random by the mag?
nates themselves. Richmond had fall
en off several thousands of dollars In
the year's receipt?, and the othei
I towns, with the exception of Peters
j burg, had fallen off proportionately, o
! deficit of $9,000 being noted In the
' receipts. It was a bad and trying
I season, und yet, despite the niany ob
i stacles encountered, the storm was
I weathered, and the league, with the
co-operation of the magnates, is ready
for a successful season. ' But there
must bo co-operation. There Is no
question about this. If Richmond Is
desiring to kick tho traces, there are
purchasers who are ready and willing
to take over tho Richmond franchise.
There Is also no question about this.
Tho offer was flatly made and lust as
flatly refused, for the very good rea?
son that the owner of tho Richmond
franchise realizes that ho has a ready
Eource of revenue from the club.
Tho storm yesterday was as noth?
ing' to that which will break at the
November meeting. Then, in addition
to the selection of a president?and
there seems to be little reason to sup?
pose that Williams will not be named
for a term of years?several claims'
will be presented. One of these claims
will be against Richmond for gate
money not collected on Labor Day. The
rules of the league declare that women
shall be charged admission on holidays.
The protesting clubs maintain that
Richmond failed to collect fare on up?
wards of 500 of the fair sex who en
?tcred tho park on that day, making a
sum of money aggregating something
like #300 which it is held Richmond
owes the league.
Another problem which will be pre
1 sented should Danville's franchise be
transferred to Newport News will be
whether the several owners are willing
;o take in the oyster and steamship
city. Those who oppose Williams fall
to realize that ho has the bulge. Even
if the league Is cquully divided. Wil?
liams will remain In the chair, for th?
reason that the constitution provides
that the president shall hold over until
his successor is elected. Also on a
divided vote Williams will win.
No Good Accomplished.
It Is a sad muddlo, and the meeting
to-day has done baseball no good. Al?
ready skeptical, the good people who
pay to see the games will become more
skeptical, If possible, and. certainly
more chary of being separated from
their two bits to see an article of
I baseball which is being delivered by
a set of magnates at war with them?
selves.
The question of Increasing the player
and the salary limit was not discussed,
though a committee, to be composed
of three members not yet named by
the president, will consider changes
In the constitution and by-laws, pre?
sumably with the lde? In mind of
making the game more presentable
from a playing standpoint. A com?
mittee on circuit, the dutv of which

draw.
Charlie Babb'a protests against the
Petersburg club failed to materialize,
and have been, presumably, shelved.
, Certain it is that small consideration
j will be accorded them should they
arise at any future time. ?
The meeting Is best epitomized by
saying that everything done was nega?
tive. There was nothing really ac?
complished, not even the good-timing
which has heretofore marked the close
of the season. There were no felici?
tations and no hands of good fellow
j ship were extended. It was tight from
the moment the meeting began, and
more light Is yet ahead. It doesn't
look good from the public's standpoint,
find really It doesn't look good from
any standpoint. The old story of the
house divided against Itself comes to
the front, and unless there is some?
thing positive done, the result is going
to be the same.
Of what might have been accom?
plished little need be said. The rep?
resentatives of tho league might have;
elected a president. They mrfrht have'
' taken some action looking to a salary
limit increase, which would have
j pleased the fans and restored c?nfl
' dence In the ability of .bhe Virginia
! League to furnish good baseball. But
: they did none of these things, and so
? conditions remain the same. If was a
I trying period . through which the Vir?
ginia- league has Just passed, and
more trying' times m?y be anticipated
unless more regard is paid to the de?
sires and demands of the paying puti
! no.
