Scout Arlliur Irwin, of the Now
York Americans, reached Richmond
Thursday morning ami went at once
to the office of Owner Bradley, where
they closed the deal that makes Dutch
Revelle a Highlander.
The American league season ex- '
tends a month over the Virginia
League season, and Revelle wijl report
to New York as soon as he is through
hi# work with Richmond this season.
It la quite likely that he will be work
ed by the Yankees in the latter part
of the season.
Revelle will report to the Yankees
again early next spring, and go with
the squad to the spring training camp.
Little apprehension is felt us to his
making good, as he is getting better
every day, and Is far above the class
of the Virginia League twlrlers
Scout Irwin says that he wilt re
main in Richmond to see Thursday's
game and will then go to Norfolk.
When asked if he Was going to Nor
folk to look over any player Scout
Jrwin said "No; 1 have not been
looking over any player there, i am
going there on other business
Mr. Irwin say* he will leave Nor
folk in a few day* for the North,
where he will make the circuit of
the New England 1 e-ague and look
over their players for likely material
for his club.
The Colts will probably be without
1
the valuable service* of Bobby Wal
lace for several days The center
fielder la ill and the doctor ban tele
phoned Owwr Bradley, any mu that ha
will probably be out of the same for
at least a week.
Wallace Is suffering with the shin
gles. and while it is not a danger
oua disease, It will keep the player out
of the game. He was not able to plr%v
tn the last game of the series lb
Lynchburg
The meeting of the league mag
nates will be held in Norfolk on the
night of Saturday July - President
."Well* sent a telegram to league head
quarters Thursday stutins that he
Would be at thi meeting. The meet
ing Is to be held 111 the office of the
Ural)by Theatre.
Owing to the delay in settling the
blatter of the Portsmouth Club's fran
chise the magnates have become im»
patient and all ha\e now decided to
be present at the meeting and see how
things are going.
President Williams, of the Roanoke
club, had telegraphed that he will bo
present and all the other* are expect
ed.
Jack Grimm W ho wanted the fran
chise in the spring and who is one of
the favorites of tiie magnates, has tele
graphed from Cincinnati that he will
be In Norfolk and attend the meeting.
It Is expected that the matter will
be closed up quickly and tn harmony.
The man best suited to handle the club
will receive the franchise and the mag
nates will consider all conditions that
bave a bearing on the welfare of the
club.
Lawler has begun his work of
Strengthening his club and now lias
a new first saeker. This man 1*

Koran! on Club.

day in Lynchburg and played first base
In Die game He accepted seven
chances, made one error and got one

TIUuan went to center eid to cover
Wallace's position.
Lawlor has not yet said what he in
tends doing with Bighie The first
•acker is an excellent Beider but has
,|>een weak with the stick for most of
the season and his arm Is not In good
shape.
Another change is likely soon at the
Colts are still tn need of a left fielder.
Several men will bave to go In a few
days as the club will he above the

dent B. B. Johnson, of the American
Leacue. has refused to accept “Jack"
J Sheridan's resignation as umpire. The
veteran handler of the Indicator arriv
ed In the city yesterday from Wash

severe headaches. Johnson has al
' most persuaded Sheridan out of his
determination to quit and hopes to

Lynchburg won the last game of the

the score of 6 to 2. The Colts seemed
to have an off day and Salve was not
going at his best. *
Lloyd was not very effective, but he
had the beat of support, while the
Colts made aeveral costly errors be
hind Salve that had much to do with
the scoring.
The visitor* did not find Lloyd a
hard proposition, but he was tight
with men on the basvs, apd so got
away with bis game. Salve tightened
up after the drat Inning and pitched
well until the eighth, when the Shoe

What will the Evening Journal
Weather Bird say about the walloping
administered at Byrd Park by the
Virginian Wednesday. Perhaps It
will say, "We lost through lack of
practice, we have the material and
will win next time." But sing again
little bird, you are not in our class
And such a walloping It waa. Noth
ing ever looked so easy to The Virgin
ians Bix Inulnga was enough, ut the
end of tnnt time a merciful umpire
culled darkness and relieved the mis
ery of the cellar champions to-be In
tlie ltichmond Newspaper League.
The Virginians started out with a
rush, the rirsl five msn up touching
the Journal Twirler for two home runs,
one triple and two two-baggers. Six
runs came across In the initial Inning.
Seeing that it would not do to swamp
(he little boys In this style the Vir
ginian batters eased up and let them
down easy until the tilth, when they
again began batting practice and
chased six more over the pan.
Lohman who was in the box for the
Virginians showed big league form and
kept the Journalites guessing through
out the game, only four hits were gar
nered oft his delivery. He was a tritle
wild and this alone accounted for the
five runs scored against him.
Eaton at shortstop was the star per
former for the Journal, accepting sev

will go to Reno Saturday to see the

will win. as he never has had a good,
word for Johnson since the negro
whipped him. Billy Lang and Hugh
McIntosh, who came with Burns, say
they thlhk Johnson Is a sure winner.
Burns said: “I look for Jeffries to
knoek out Johnson about the twen
tieth round. If Jeffriea Is only half
as good ss he used to be be will win.
Johnson will quit If the white man
lands a few stiff punches on his
stomach. Johnson Is fame only against
little fellows like Ketchel and myself.
“After the fight between Johnson
and myself in Australia Johnson want
next day to the doctor, who told him
my punches hnd broken two riba Now
It etands to reason If Jeffries evar : wal
lops him he will cave In all his riba’
McIntosh thinks Johnson should
win In the nineteenth rounds, as h#
doesn’t think Jeffries can come back.
Lang believes Johnson will win with
terrific stomach punches.
McIntosh says Johnson is favorite in
Australia at 1« to 8. Ha added: 'Bill
Lang comas to America for a crack
at Stanley Ketchel or Sam Langford.
1 will bet 18,080 on Lang’s chances,

JEFFRIES IS NOW
Is Said to Have Declared That
He Would Finish Johnson
in 17 Rounds.
Hj Mill Ikltluuur.
JEFFRIES’ TRAINING CAMT,
; MONANA SPRINGS. RENO. NEV.,
June 20.—That Jeffries in aa strong h
favorite to-day as he will be at the
time lighters step Into the ring Is
dope of the wise bettors, and their
prediction is strengthened by the fact
that whereas on Tuesday night It was
even money that he would not win
inside of fifteen rounds, last night
the same price stood for 18 rounds,
despite the fact that Jeffries himself
's said to have declared that he
would surely not let the negro stay
longer than 17 rounds.
Jeffries' work before the moving
pictures Wednesday evening may have
had some effect on the betting, but the
big fellow was far from being impres
sive as to wind, as he has been in
previous workouts. He seemed to puff
earlier than usual, a fact that was
commented on by many of the 2
lor more spectators that had taken a
chance of another disappointment.
; Aside from this, however, Jim ap
peared good in every other depart
ment. He blocked nicely, docked un
der skins with the ease and speed of
a lightweight and pulled away from
straight leads lust far enough to make
them miss HI* eye was perfect, and
his feet worked with mechanical pre
cision.
But the bellows did not work as
well as usual. Some attributed it to
the heavy wind that was blowing
- from the north, and others to the tact
i that he was not trying to reserve his
I lung power, pulling hack on It, as it
I were. It- may be that both drcum
i stances may have had more or less
influence, but the rise and fall of the
; chest and the quivering of the stom
■ ach were very apparent.
Jeffries' variable disposition has
j taken another turn. Two days ago
he showed signs of crankiness. To
day he is as happy as a boy on va
cation. The little Indisposition of
1 Tuesday has disappeared, his right
arm la not bothering hltn and the
L best thing of all, Mrs. Jeffries Is not
the last bit perturbed. It was feared
that, as the day of the battle ap
proached Jim’s better-half would show
signs of apprehension, but Instead she
Is as smiihig and confldeiu as her
• big boy of a husband. At least there
is no outward indication that she is
worrying.
Jeffries slums Form.
Jeffries was In one of his best moods
awhile the moving picture# were taken.
; He responded promptly to every call
' of the photographer) and when one
: stunt was over on he pleasantly in
| qulred. "Well, what’s next?’’
He Joked with his sparring partners,
i complimented them when they put
one over on him end pulled up when
he had them In distress. The only
time that he realty extended himself
was when Berger essayed to tear his
head off with left hooks. Jim bulled
In and slowed 8am up with some real
ly earnest pokes In the stomach.
During his bouts with his brother
and Berger Jeffries time and again
stuck out his Jaw for them to slam at.
: telling them to hit as hard as they
could, and they never rocked his heed.
He gave a One exhibition to prove his
#r#M "on the ball" when he held out
hie oh In and drew back Just as the
punch struck where the Jaw had been,
and then Uke a flash stepped in and
Rooked his right or left to jaw or
body.
Governor Dickerson watched the ex
hibition keenly and with apparent in
terest. Afterward he declared that
while Jeffries was not as showy a per
former as Johnson Is, He gave an Im
pression ot terrible strength, power
and a wonderful exhibition of light
footedneas.
The emergency referee question will
be settled to-day. The selection now
lies between Charlie White, of New
York, aid Grands Nslton, of Toronto,

Fitzsimmons Picks Jeff,

Fltsslmmons, who arrived here on the
Marama from Sydney, picks Jeffries
as the winner In Monday's battle for
the world's championship. He thinks
the fight will go over 20 rounds.
Johnson, he believes, while clever,
has not thy punch. He met here
Frank Slavtn. hie old opponent, and
also an Australian, who plcka John
son. The two argued the case pro
and con. but parted still of their
original opinion.
"Any light la as uncertain as a
horse race, and this one particular
ly; but mv opinion Is well known.
Johnson won't stand very long against
the massive strength and bear-llke
tenacity of Jeffries, provided
