rived nt Pittsburgh, lJH. He will go |
1 from there to Chicago, and will dc-)
! tcrmlne his route west from Chicago, j

DISAPPOINTED FANS RETURN
WITHOUT SEEING BALL GAME
Rain Steps In, and Neither Rebs nor Colts Are Allowed to Perform.
Bugs Raymond Muchly Peeved Because He Had No
Chance to Display Himself. I
by gi s m Al.lllCUT.
Jlit..I luck, in the guise of an en?
tirely unfriendly and unwelcome rain,
prevented both of the ball names
scheduled for Richmond yesterday.
As if in Irony, the sun began shining
immediately after the names had been
declared oft. and the several hundreds
of fHtm .whose ardor could not be
dampened had started the buckward
trail to the city.
Aside from the fact that the fans
were denied the pleasure of seeing a
ball game, tho most serious conse?
quence of the rainy afternoon Is a
depleted treasury. While practically
every city In the country has suffered
to a greater or less degree because of
w ather conditions, it doesn't help
ono whit locally. The money gone Is
gone, and with strenuous times facing
the clubs, they can 111 afford to loss
any of the Wherewithal at the present
time.
At Lee Park. Owner Landgraf,
Hanked by Kddlc Leonard, some time
of Richmond, and now a famous per?
former on the. vaudeville stage, and
Hugh McKlnnon, manager of the Cin?
cinnati club, sat In the grandstand
watching the heavenly watering- pots
send forth their deluge, while a good?
ly crowel of fans urged the players to
take a chance on the heavy field. From
4 o'clock until fi:30 hope was held
that a gnme- might be played, but the
shower continued without abating one
Jr?t. After consultation announcement
was made that tho game was off.
Snme Thlntr nt Broad Stre?t.
Practically the same condition ob
taineil at liroad Street Park. Both clubs
were unxttous to play, but tho deluge
tcok no cognizance of cither the wishes,
of the spectators, or the management.
Hope was shattered and It was a dls
ii) pointed bunch which left tho yard
under the shelter of umbrellas, .lack
fjrlm grabbed his Shipbuilders and
hurried them to a trui'i to return to
N< wport News, where they will awslt
Steve Griffin for a three-game series
beginning Monday.
McKlnnon and his club left at S:-0
lust night for \\ ashington, where a
name will be played to-day with Mock
nbee's Bciiatorjs. This will he the first|
professional ball game been In Wash?
ington oil Sunday for many years, and]
a large bunch of "hugs' Will make thei
trip to Union League; Park to watch!
tho game. It may be Raymond that
will pitch. Ho wns as anxious as a
school boy to work yesterday, and ap?
peased his grievances at not being ablo
to appear by indulging In many bot?
tles of "pop'' nnd many sacks Of pea?
nuts, for all of which he made many
apologies
Speaking particularly of the United
smten League, a word of commenda?
tion is undoubtedly due the men who
have stuck by the organization
through the many trying periods since
Its formation. l-'irst (here were ' tho
continued and oft-rop ;atetl assertions
from unfriendly sourcoj to the i?Cfecl
that the league was merely a paper af?
fair, and Hint It would never begin
operations. There were, hundreds of
teasons advanced for this opinion, all
of which had their effeot on the pub?
lic inind. Hall parks could not bo se
enred, players were at a premium,
while tho league was being .financed on
a shoestring, were sonic of tho things
mentioned.
The league really began. It matters
little an to tho ausplclousness nf the
openings. At leaBt in three of tho
towns In which opening games were
played, tho nrowds In attondance were
larger than expected. Rvon New York
turned out for tho opening game. All
of the handicaps which have made the
revenues from the games in the big
leagues were suffered by the. new
league. In fact, everything worked
against ttve magnates from the weather
man to a hostile press. Still the league
went on, playing games as f>er sche?
dule, with the exception of- the New
York-Richmond games, which wern
transferred here for business reasons.
During the week which has Just come
to a close, probubly the crisis was
reached in the league atlalrs. Cleveland*
lUit cold, though ih.11 city had matte f
money. -Murphy, the man who had
been nuch a stickler lor forms and
methods, who arguedand haggled over
\cry provision in the constitution,
holding out that every "I" be proper?
ly dotted and each "t" properly cross
eu, flew the Chinese Hag and wilted
like a stiff collar on a warm day. It
looked awfully bad for the league. On
top of the Cleveland defection, came
news from Washington that some ot
the ball players were dissatlsiicd, and
that unless their demands were met,
would quit.
Tho Cincinnati club was then on Its
way to Richmond. The news had reach?
ed the public and hud Its effect, but
those who have opposed the league
made the most of It. and tho world of
"i told you s'o's" which could be heard
on every street corner, nearly swamp?
ed those who wera of the faithful. As
soon as M.Klnnon arrived, he and
Landgraf! got together. They came
speedily to the conclusion that the
trouble in Cleveland wns merely a
ripple on the face of the waters. Plans
were quickly formulated to keep the
league, going If only with six clubs.
But this was not iiecesenry. Wash?
ington reported that the team would
be in the field and would remain in?
tact. From Cleveland came tho news
that the franchise tht.e was being
sought in many plnces, and still later
reports Indicate that it will go to Et.

WHERE THEY PIjAY TO-DAY,
So gnroes scheduled.
Louis, where ample financial backing
la awaiting the team. Wlille no news
1 can be obtuined from President Wit
? nian of the league, the opinion is held
that the United States League is In
belter condition now than It was at tho
beginning or the season. All of the
Western clubs, with the exception of
Cleveland, are In the Hast, and are
playing games scheduled In the cities
lor which they were scheduled.
President Landgraf was unable last
night to 8i;y whether any games
would ba played here Monday, Tues?
day und Wednesday. Cleveland had
been BOhedulcd, and If definite ar?
rangements are completed with St.
I.ouU the club will arrive on t'mo and
play the games. Still information is
lacking now. However. Chicago is
due here Decoration Day, next Thurs?
day, when two games will be played.
As the Windy C'ty has never before
been represented In any league with
Richmond, capacity should bo the
crowd to which tho two clubs will
play. Following Chicago will come
Deacon Phillippl and his Filipinos,
after which the Ilebs start their Jaunt
West, stopping first at Pittsburgh for
a two-game aeries, and then to Cin?
cinnati, Chicago und probably St.
Louis, with rieadlng the 11 rat stop on
the return trip," getting back June
20 with Cincinnati.
Speaking of tho United States
League, merely as an advertising
medium for Richmond, It deserves the
support of tho local funs. Remember?
ing that every game playod advertises
Richmond In seven other cities of as
great, and. In some Instances, greater
Importance than Richmond, tho people
should realize at oucu the Importance
of keeping it alive. To have Rich?
mond linked with Pittsburgh, Cincin?
nati, Chicago. St. Louis and New York
means a great deal for the com?
mercial Interests. Aside from serv?
ing the people by giving gooil sport,
the United States League serves the
people by advertising them and their
city. That Is the particular phaso
which should make direct appeal to
every single Individual with one spark
, of civic pride. So fnr as the writer
is concerned, he hopes t*iat every ob?
stacle which the organisation faces
will bo overcome, and that it will
finish a prosperous season.
Virginia Leugne Han Troubles.
The Virginia League. It Is reported.
Is facing aerious troubles. The at?
tendance around the circuit has not
been all that could be desired, and
report says that the D-anvili? fran?
chise haa been offered to Suffolk and
refused by that city. An elght-cluh
league In Virginia Is hard to main?
tain. It has been polntod out In
these columns mnny times that eight
clubs, with the division of tho money
secured In Richmond among seven
, cities, instead of five, as heretofore,
meant a lessening of the revenue of
those cities, which were entirely de?
spondent on Richmond for very exis?
tence.
It takes money to maintain bait
clubs, and while no chnrges are made,
the fa of remains that some of the
clubs In the league havo far better
teams than for many seasons past. It
may be that theso teams can be put
together within the salary limit, but.
In the words of Herbert Mlley, of
Lynchburg, If this Is true, it shows a
wonderful knowledge of financing hall
clubs. Players who hnvo been work?
ing for $200 a month and more will
hardly look with favor on Jobs which
pay $150 a month end less.
Still that Is purely an Internal nf
? fair of the league. If tho magnates
havo agreed nmong themselves to nl
I low moro money to be spent In order
I to combat opposition. It Is not an un?
wise business move, provided the
oliths whoso revenues are not so great
con stand the strain. At ?ny rate. It
Is meaning better bnscball for Rich?
mond. wittHi In the ultlmute dcslro of
