It's now up to the Weather Man.

season of 1910 and the game will b*

The Danville Club, headed by Man
ager Steve Gridin, ount Into town
Wednesday night and registered st the
Lexington right in the midst of the
Colts' camp seemingly without fear.
They arc a likely looking bunch of
players and seem primed for the fray.
Manager Lawlor, of the Colts,
seems confident that he will make the
visitors bite the dust in the opening
gams. Uevelle win twirl for the
locals and those fans who Journey to
the park will see a battle royal. The
visitors have tveen going good and it is
understood that they will put In the
best of their pitchers in an effort to
take the first game.
Owner Bradley says the parade will
start promptly at 3 o’clock at City
Mail. The route will be down Ninth
to Cary, thence to Seventeenth, from
that street to Main, thence to Eighth,
from there to Broad and out Broad to
the park.
In speaking of the unfavorable
weather Owner Bradley said: "Wte are.
waiting for development*. If it looks
hotter at 3 o'clock we will go ahead
with the preparation# for the parade.
The grounds at our pork are In ex
cellent condition and will be all right
for a game provided U Is not raining
when we start. They dry up vyry
quickly and we have never lost a game
hare by reason of bad grounds, even
following twenty-four hours of rsln
last Sunday there was a garni* and
practice at the park on Monday. In
the other cities of the league circuit, it
is often necessary to call off games on
account of wet grounds, but that is
n£ver the case in' Richmond.”
Manager Lawlor, of course, i* exas
perated over the weather conditions
but he stated Thursday that he is
putting hi* faith in the weather man
and hopes that It will be dear by
the time for the parade to begin. ''The
parade is a part of the opening cere
monies,” said Manager Lawlor, "and
If It cjocs ant dear off In time for the
parade we will very likely not have
any game." When asked If there
would be a double header this week In
the event the game is called off he
stated that It would be dangerous to
try a double header this early in the
season and that It would have to be
played off later in the season.
Regardless of weather conditions
there will be a large number of Rich
mond’s dauntless fans to go to the
park on the chance of seeing the
game The matter of a little -drench
ing would never curtail the eplrtt of
some of the regulars who always go,
rain or shine. Should the cloud3
drift away and a clear sun-shiny af
ternoon look the fans and players In
the face. It may be expected that one
of the record baseball crowds of
Richmond will be at he park to sec
the Initial battle on the local grounds.

VIRGINIA LEAGUE
OUT FOR PROFITS
! So Says a Dispatch from Norfolk.
Crew lias No Chance for
Pennant.
The following dispatch from Nor
folk gives some Inside Information
I about the Virginia League. It states
; that the schedule is arranged as a
' money-maker and that as a result
( Norfolk has a harder road to travel
i than any other club, it may be that
1 all organised baseball 1* a money
j making proposition, and also - that
! Norfolk has not such a hard road
, since the schedule provides that they
j have thirty-six games with Ports
j mouth, about the weakest club in the
league:
This year’s race for the State
League pennant will be on when um
pires cry "Play ball!" In three cities
of the circuit this afternoon. Ports
mouth will open the street parades,
led by brass bands, and speaking at
the parks by public officials will tn
1 augurate In each of the three cities
!ln which the opening contests are to
1 be played. Pair but cool weather U
promised in the State.
The individual teams in the league
are probably a* strong as any that
have ever played ball In the State,
and, barring a distorted schedule, the
outlook for a successful season is
good. Never before have managers
of clubs been so active In procuring
men for their teams, and a lot of
new and apparently good material has
been aecured. Tnree of >«ei gear’s
managers are in the league this year
—Clark, of Norfolk; 8haughneasy, of
Roanoke, and Stafford, of Portsmouth,
The letter managed Danville last sea
son. Steve Orlffln. who once man
aged the Truckers, is now at the helm
in Bugtown; Walter Smith, who last
| year managed the Wilmington club,
in the Eastern Carolina League, has
charge of the destinies of Lynchburg,
and j. Lawler haa succeeded Perry
Lipo as leader of Richmond,
Portsmouth, a hard-luck club ever
since the organisation of the league,
seems to have strengthened moat of
the season, and Truckertown anouid
be well In the hunt for the pennant
Doped out, Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Roanoke seem to be the first division
clubs. But a little time may speedily
upset the most careful calculations.
To Make Manny,
As to the schedule, it is not one
that can fairly test the playing merits
of the several clubs, and certainly
Norfolk haa the hardest road to travel,
The schedule wee formulated rather
as a money-maker than aa one cal
culated to bring nut what la best In
the playing qualities of the teams.
Under such a schedule there can be
no 'certainty thpt- the fee* team win

•Shaw, Third Baseman of Scranton
Club Joins the Squad at
Camp.
HAS A GOOD RECORD
Manager Lawlor Says Player Will
Iif Used as Utility Man in
Different Positions.
A new Colt drifted into camp Wed
nesday night and will be seen at tne
park along with the squad Thursday, i
This player is Shaw, late of the Scran
ton team of the New fork stale
League. Manager Lawlor says that
he has been negotiating for tho p'ayer
for some time, and that the deal was
closed recently.
Shaw has been with the Scranton
team or with other teams in the New
York State League for the past six
years, and is regarded as one of tne
fastest fielders in the league. His re
cord for last season shows that he
partioipsted in 83 games, was at bat
333 times, scored 31 runs, made ^7 3
bases. His batting average was 21U.
His position with the Scranton club
was third base, and he landed In
fourth place In the average coittmn
at the end of the season, but he play
ed In 83 games, while two of the
men who had higher averages than
he were in only a few games, one
playing 13 and the other 8. In the
83 games he played he made 100 put
outs. 153 assists. 17 errors, and n)s
percentage was .937.
For Ftillly Man.
Manager Lawlor says that hhaw
will be used as a utility man and
that he Is not thinking of putting
him in the place of any of the in
fieldc-rs working on the ream. Man
ager Lawlor says that the man Is good
in any position, either in the Inlleld
or the gardens, and that he will be
worked in different places as occa
sion demands.
It Is hardly likely, however that, in
vie wof the restriction on tho number
of men to be carried, any extr i play
ers will be carried, and If Shuiv Is
better than any of the present players,
he will take their place. The club
looks weak in batting In some de
partments, and if a capable Infielder
can be secured, one who can also hit
the ball, It is likely that he will be
given a position. Shaw’s batting re
cord for last year does not indicate
that he is a very strong hatter, but
he may do better in this league.

Prominent Men of Cleveland
Afraid of Labor By Which
Park is Boycotted.
CLEVELAND, OHIO, April 21.—
Beginning with Mayor Baehr, all the
prominent politicians and business and
prolesr.lonal men hero have modestly
declined the honor of pitching the Hist
hall at the opening of the New Amer
ican League park to-day, cwlng to
the labor boycott promulgated against
the park. President Han Johnson,
who is boycott proof, will have that
honor. The only formal event plan
ned is the raising of the American
flag in center field, in which both
teams will participate.
The union leaders are serttusly con
sidering a proposition to have moving
picture machines take pictures of the
crowd*), the films later to bo exposed
at union meetings, so that the men
will have a chance to pick out every
body they know.
