It Is Henderson's intention to Rend I

that time the reorganization of the
league will bo complete.
Numerous stories have been circulat?
ed that the league was going- to drop
Richmond from the circuit, and when
I this was told Henderson to-day he
. stated that there was absolutely no
? truth whatever )n the report. Rich

[Special 10 The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Blackstone, Vn.. June 1.?The Black
stone High School haseball team h.is
disbanded after having a good season,
winning eight games and not losing
any. Under the i ladling of S. S. llnr
riS, Of William and Mary College, a 'ast
team was developed. The infield was well
cared for by A. Cobb. at third; Hard
away, at short: Hurt, at second, and
Moore, at first, while the outlield was
held down by Low, Bagley and Dalton.
Hoc. Cobb twirled superb ball during
thecntlro season, and was caught by
Dean.
Every man on the team will return
to s-'hool next session, and a winning
team is expected. A much enjoyed ban?
quet was Riven by the women of the
Improvemi hi League in honor of the
members of the team last Friday.
Below Is given a list of the games

stances. I will do all in my power to
give the people of Richmond the best
ball possible One thing which I am
glad has occurred, although it strikes
me 'hard at the present time, is the
fact that the owners of the team in thp
league were requested yesterdny to
deposit a n amount of money tr> assure
their stlcki?t; in the league until tho
finish. I am at the end <>f my financial
string, bul nil I ask Is the support of
the business men of Richmond. Whon
President Henderson arrives lit Rich?
mond the Witter pnrt of tin- week and
shows ihe business people that tho
league Is not a mushroom, I know that
they will come to my assistance. I am
willing to sacvlflco anything ! have ?o
that I can keep a team In the league,
knowing thnl in tho end the league
will bo a mint."
President Henderson went to Read
lng to-night to sec three business mcn.|
who have wired that they will back]
the. team from that city. Grounds have:
already been secured, and they arc
nearer the heart of tho city than were
those of former President \Vllman. Af?
ter things nie straightened out then-.
Henderson will go to Richmond in re?
sponse lo a message front Morgan
Mills, who. with Landgraf, owns the
team In that city, and he expects to
have everything arranged satisfactor?
ily to all parties.
After his trip there he will go West
In response to messages from business
men In Kansas City, Indianapolis, and
Otto Siefel. the St. Lou's brewer, who
Is dickering for a franchise. Tho city
which looks the best to Henderson will
bo the our selected,
To SIrnlKhtcn Out Matter?.
Before leaving here to-night for)
Heading. Henderson was asked In what
shape tho league, was at present. He
said: "For several days to come we
do not expect to make any money, but
after I straighten out matters In Rea'd
ing. 1 will Jump down to Richmond. I
I will pet there probably Wednesday
j night or Thursday morning. I cannot
i understand how stories have been cir?
culated that Richmond was to bo drop?
ped from the league, or that the. other
teams in the league had dropped out.
"Two learns have dropped from the
original league, hut this was expected.
Washington was never much of a base?
ball town, and as the grounds of the
New York team were away out In the
country, wo could not expect tho fans
to travel out there when they could go
nnd .see a ball game near the heart of
the city. Mr, Landgraf and I have got
tlilnss In good shape In regard to the
Richmond team, and the salaries of the I
players will lie paid before the week
is over. If possible we may bring
them tip to one of the other cities In j
tho league which have been making
money for a three or four-game series.
"Things look had to tho outside is
at the present time, but before Ion?
they will see that the United States
League Is In the baseball business to
Rtny. All we ask of the public Is to
give us a fair chanve, and wo will do
.tho rest "
a new schedule will be adopted by
the league before the week is over, and
a secretary who lias had n number of
years'experience in the basebull business
will be appointed Wednesday or Thurs?
day. President Henderson also added
that Witninn was out of the league to
stay and that ho could not break in
again, with an axe. '

Opening Game on Norfolk Diamond?Contest
Devcid of Spectacular Features.
[Special to Tho Tlmes-Dlspatch.] q
Norfolk, Va., June 2.?In vain Strain'

save the Colts from defeat at their In?

their swatting clothes and pounded
Strain for fifteen safe hits, which net?
ted them six runs. Poolo allowed only
live hits and two runs.

of the gingerly kind. A number of.
spectacular stunts .enlivened the per?
formance, hut they weto all on one
side, and at no time d'd the visitors
have a chance to win.
The first run of tho. game came to
the Tars In the first Imlng on Kirch
cr's single, Raley's error and an Intleld
out.
A free pass to Mntti?. n stolen base
and McComus's single counted for the
visitors in the second. They took the
lead In the third by an error by 1 lodge,
a stolen base, single by Grlflin and the
double steal.
Norfolk tied the score In the fourth
on Kinneran's single, Kellers sacrifice
and singles by Wilson and StaUb,
Tho Tars took the If.id In the sixth
by gootl hitting. Keller, Staub, Pool.
Podge and Klrcher singled. Again in
