BOOST GOOD ROADS AT
BIG SMOKER TO-NIGHT
Charmer of ommerce Wili / ct as Host When
Delegates From Many Cities Gather to Dis?
cuss Han for Raising Money to Build
Vuginia Link t^r^m Washington t >
Ricnmond, Via Frtder.cksburg,
in iViian-ii-c^-Qutbec
Highway.
Oooa roada will bo the; topic of dls
cuealoo at a smoker t? ho hold to-night
In tr-.o auditorium of thu Jefferson
liotol. The Chamber of Commerce will ;
act as host, an 1 as guests will come
delegates from Baltimore. Washington, 1
Fredorlcksburg, Manuasas, Bowl'ng
Green. Ashland and the eovoral ooun
tles of thlB State through which the.'
proposed Quobeo-to-Miam| highway
will pass.
Men well versed In the work of road- |
buTldlng Will bo oil hand to address
those gathured. They will tell Just ;
what la needed !n Virginia. President j
T. M. Carrlngton. of the chamber, will
bo In the chulr. .lohn C. Easlcy. chair
man of the ehamber committee on j
Streets! roads and park?. will ulso '
make an address. So will Preaton Bel
vln, president of the Virginia State
Automobile Association, and Mr. Beale,
?>f Bowling Green, and Whit I?. Payton.
of Stafford county, and V. j. Graves, of
Fredericksburg, and lt. S. llvnson, of
Manaseas.
Out of all the oratory which will be
dispensed It Is hoped to Und some prac?
tical way to raise the |2in.<K>0 needed
t-. build the Virginia division of the
great highway. The value of the roud
will bo presented In a striking way.
The method for its construction wl *
i pointed out in detail. Everybody's
vlf w* will tie heard, and the .best sug?
gestions offered will .r,e adopted. All
Richmond la Invited to attend the
sin?ker. It la believed that at least
ifl di-legate, from out of town will be
on hand.
The movement la a growing one. and
as a matter of fact, the highway I
nearly complete with the exception of
about 130 miles of roud to be con
strutted in Virginia. Of course. It Is
r.'.t* essential that the road pass j
through Richmond. There are other
Ways to reach the South. For Instance,
tourists may use the Valley route, by
way of Roanokc. or they may come
down the Fastern Shore. But Rich?
mond and Fredeflcksburg and the
i tlier cities and towns along the more
direct route want the benefit of the
money which tourists will spend. Not
alone that, but the farmers, who must
depend on the highways to bring their
produce to market, will be Incalculably
benefited.
For Instance, on the present Insecure
end deplorable roads, the rest of haul- I
Ing Is out of all proportion to what It I
If widere good roads are already In j
existence. The hardships endured by
both the animals and the driver are !
without number. The wear and tear
on rblltng stock is tremendous, so that
the life of a vehicle driven along had j
roads Is Just about one-third what It I
1b on good roads. I
The smoker tendered by the chamber
'"-night !s '''a outcome of weeks'
study of the situation. Nobody more
than the business* men of Richmond
realizes the importance of good roads.
It Is thought that when the several!
commercial organizations of Richmond,
such as the Business Men's Club, the
Travelers' Protective Association, the
Knlted Commercial Travelers, the Ad?
vertisers' Club, and the South Rich- ?
mond Business Men's Association,
mingle with delegates from out of
town, who are Just as much Interested i
as Is Richmond, that something can bei
accomplished toward making the. road- |
way a reality.
After the speeches have been rnndo. |
ami after the delegates have been \
? lined, a business meeting will he held, ;
nt which the Virginia division of the
Quebec-Miami International highway;
will be formed. Branches of the Vir- I
glnla organisation will be established
In each county aloog the route. Each !
<>f these branches will be properly ofR- j
cored, and win be Instructed how to

carry out the work'. A definite J*an ?
will bo adopted, such as has met with
success In other sections of the coun?
try.
In other words, the mooting to-night!
will bo largely educational, according
to those who ura standing sponsor tor
It, Many things not brought out at
previous ifood roads meetings will be
shown to thojo In attendance. It Is
the Intention of the chamber to gather
all the facts, present them to those In?
terested, and then start the campaign
for raising the money. .Members ol ;
the i/etclMlniui o and of tho City Coun- 1
cli have been invited. Their opinion
will bo asked and their advice
heeded. Both the .-late and city arc
expected to aid financially.
The tentative .11 vision of the sum Is:
Klchrnor.d, 176.000; Washington. $"5.
.1, and the other counties, cities and
towns, 160,000. The meeting will
not be enjoyable, but it will be in?
structive. A>o, if advance roper's
nre true. It will bo enthusiastic. Dele?
gates will b-gtn to arrive early to?
day. They will be cordially received
by the Chamber of Commerce and by
members of the Richmond Automobile
Club. Places of Interest around the
city will be visited, then merely as a
diversion, mups already prepared of
tin- proposed route to Wathlngton via
Irrederl'jksburif will b<j explained, so
that they may enter the meeting con?
versant with the situation.
It will very probably be the blggost
I mtctlng of its kind ever held In the
I South. Everybody will werk together
I for a common good. The slogan will
he "build the road." and nil will work
toward that end.

ness of me circuit, convenience 61 the
grounds, permanency arid safely of tno
grandstands ami ability 01 players at
least equal 10 the very btst In tho
pennant-winning clubs of any other or?
ganization are the fundamental fea?
tures of the plans that will be per*
tected at tho meeting of Hie United
states League of Professional Knseoull
Clubs In Cleveland to-morrow.
So compact, in fact. Is the circuit that
the average jume o: Ihe clubs diu nig

means llial the item of carfare will
not exceed $00.;-:;; for each of four clubs

tances the following figures appear.
Prom Brooklyn to Heading, 125 miles;
Heading to Washington; 1&4; Washing?

230; Cleveland t? Plttsburg, 160; Pitts
burir to New York, 431-?a total of I,*
Mil miles for tho entlro circuit. This
Will mean ttiat there will be no lay-off
while clubs are moving from Fast to

More striking still Is the matter of
convenience of grounds. The ball park

ten minutes" ride from Twenty-third
und Broadway, and over flvo million
People can reach It for a S-ccnt faro.
In Brooklyn tho trip from tho bridge
to the park can be made for t cents

Reading's steel r.nd concrete stadium,]
with Its twelve-foot stone wall sui |
rounding an entlro city block, has been,
taken as the model for nil the eronnJ.i |
of the league. All the plnns were
prepared In this city by a I end firm
of architects and am now In the hands
of the franchise holder?. The advent
of building weather will mark the
greatest activity In seven of the cities j
of the circuit, so thnt all the grounds
may he in as perfect shape for the
opening of the season on May 1 as
are those In Heading. For the hull.I- |
Intr of ti es? grandstands all the money 1
Is In hand and the award of contracts I
will follow the Cleveland meeting.
When President Wltmnn left for|
Cleveland last evening he took with
him the applications of thirty-seven
players who have stood among the !
leaders of major leairue ball within

over 200 offers from college players
und those who have starred in minor |
I leagues. Bverv player who is signed I
will be measured by major league
! standards, and when these are met
j there wi'l lie no dickering about sala
: lies. "We hnve tho money to pay |
for the best and we propose to have :
it," were tho words In which Pres.!- j

In 11 nutshell as he was leaving his

tain Moran, of the Washington antl l;:e
team. Issued the call for baseball csn-j
did a tea to-day, and more than seventy
aspirants presented themselves at the'
gymnasium this afternoon for the pre?
liminary practldi. Acting under the
advice of Mr. Orth. Captain Moran w'll
give the men a thorough workout every
afternoon until tho weather is warm
enough for outdoor work. Not a man
on the squad will be allowed to touctl
a baseball for several days yet. The'
Pitch ?ts are using a big medicine ball
In their preliminary training, antl by
the t'ma the manager hands them out;
bright, now live-ounce pills they will
be able to hurl them hard and true,
without the usual danger of sore nrma1
and stiff shoulder sockets-. The other
members of tin; squad are taking dumb?
bell exercises and cross-country Jogs. |
AI. Orth will he here on March 1 to!
take charge of the squad, and, ho will
.find the men In excellent condition to
begin real diamond work. Already the i
players are looking forward to the ar-I
rival of Mr. Orth and good weather, as
they are all anxious to show hint Incir
cnllhre. It Is generally conceded that I
Washington and Lee will have, tho most \
talented squad ever seen on Wilson
Field, as well as the most export ?need
and far-fatned baseball coaeh In th!s;
section. Mr. Orth Ig OX pec tod to <to
some great things. With his long ex?
perience In the'big leagues, with Ii I si i
thorough knowledge of baseball In all [
its various twists and turns, ami with i
bis enviable ability to handle men and i
to command their respect, he ought to |
turn out a team here which win malet!
n great record.
under his arm, a smile of healthy pro?
portions, and twenty-two tired but en?
thusiastic athletes at his heels, the old
trainer left the hall after the maot
Saturday night. "Follows," he said,
blithely, "I'm afraid Georgetown is go?
ing to beat us a weolt from Saturday."
Bui ho crossed his lingers and wtnked
knowingly his left ey-j.
I?-innlgan has several things to be
enthusiastic about. On his team Is
one of. tile fastest middle-distance men
that Virginia has ever seen. This is
Wiley Cooke. According to Iiis tralirir,
Cooke will next year, if not this year,
break some, big records, for lie lias It
in hint. Not only can lie plant ills long,
muscular legs faster and with loss ex?
ertion than the average runiiM*. but
lie can use Iiis head ami take advantage
of tho situation in a way that created
wonder and praise of the highest typo
In Washington, when ho won tin 1,00?
ynrd rnce with apparent case and then
ran the fast half-mile Immediately at?
terward. If Cooke returns next year,
as ho expects, hi will bo one of tho
best athletes the University of Virginia
has ever produced.
Two New Men at Work.
But bannlgun has still more to plant
his faith op than his squad he took to
Washington lnst Saturduy. Two new
men liavo rnado thslr first appearun o
on the outdoor track who are going
I to "do things." Blanchard, who con.en
from central New York, is not only a
remarkable athlete, with several goiAl
records, but he is a footbal'l man and
la almost sure of a position on the
Orange and Blu?'s line next fall. fit)
has worked under "Fop" long enough
to convince tho trainer u his ability.
And yesterday, for the firs, time. Din
bolt, a well-built, gool-looklng athlete,
who came here from Colgate to g- = t tho
advantage of working nut under one
of the h0st trainers In the country,
warmed tip on the track. Lannlgnn
saw at a glance that be was not to bo
disappointed In his highest hopes.
I ?I jbolt will not only be part of tho
mainstay of the team during the sea?
son, but will be In shape to help carry
nway the honors at Georgetown on
March 2. "Pop'' Is enthusiastic over
him. He runs all the middle distancii.
as well ns the mile.
Todd, Ihs football star, i>. of course,
ono of tho reliable fast men, nnd like?
wise Briggs and Fite and Giiy and
Sloan, hut among the new men are
some real runners, tlolcomb Is n quar
ter-mller who is showing wonderful
form both In that cv?nt and ' in tho
sprints, lie made a good showing In
Washington. Stnccy, the former Wood,
berry lad. Is not only good for the
hurdles, but he Is running the quarter
In remarkable form. Hawkins and
Gooch are versatile, both in the sprints
and middle distances. Tha distances
am not ns strong as thev might be,
but Jones Is a comer who Is pretty apr
to Tnnd his "V" this year. As u whole,
the track outlook Is very encouraging.
The members of the squad are given
a hnrd workout each nftsrnoon, and"
