JIV Ol'S MAI.DKllT. Dolly OirtV, Die Hlenuer young man who its to succeed Bill Laval as guarder of the right picket for the Colts dur- < ing l'JH, is determined to put a con siderable dent In previous records of the Virginia League. Dolly gained con siderable fame as a fencebuster out In the Ohio titate last season, and was re garded as the Ty-Cobb-'l'i ls-Speakor Hans-Wagner combination of that league. He was the peril of the fling* ers of that circuit, and he opines that 1 he Is about to turn the same trie!; hereabouts. With that ambition In mind, Dolly is at present sojourning In West linden, j Jnd., where are baths and other things supposed to get an athlete Into prime ; condition for any kind of a battle. "J t think that 1 am slightly overweight," ' he writes, "and for that reason am j taking the baths every day, so that I will be Just about right when I ar- j rive in Richmond next week. I am go- \ ing to fctay here until the day before j leaving time. Ho far a.s J am concerned, you can go tight along having the ; score cards printed, and you can put j rny name down as one of the re-gu- I lars. Put me in the clean-up placa and I'll make good." Were Mr. Gray an unknown quantity 1 his words might be discounted, but he is a man of parts. Is Mr. Gray, and his name- Is down in the book a? o sticker i of considerable prowess. Therefore we attach more than parsing import- j ance to his prophecies. Manager Ityan expects to take a trip to Charlottesville eaily next week for' tho. purpose of looking over two or three young hurlers Clark Griffith has i In his stable. Jack Ityan, who hap pens to bear the same patronymic as the local manager, and for that reason is doubtless partial to him. has writ ten advising Kay to make tho trip. "We have two corking good pitchers, able to make good in cla.-s B company, but not quite ripe for the big show," j he says In his letter, "and I want you j to get first chanco at them, so come ? rlg-ht along." The names of the two hopefuls are | not given, but it Is well-known that \ Grlftith baa vastly more material than , he can possibly use. even should all ' of It pan out pay dirt.
