It is generally heliexed among then
Virginia l^aifu*? magnates that the
meeting of the «ir< uit < ornmittet', t<>
btdu Id at Murphvs Hotel at 12
tnitH k Monday will be harmonious,
and that a mutual agreement will be
qunkly rea< hed. It s* «ms t• * !•♦• thv
general wish of the club# that l»«n
a Hie he drooped out and Portpfnouth
taken in. thu« making a more « om
pm t league and one that is likely t»
make more money
One Yeport has < «»tne in that l.vn<‘h
burg ami Roanoke w ill stand b\ l>an
ville. and if the Hugs are dropped out
they also w ill drop out and efTe< t an
organization with three ('aroimu
Hubs for an interstate league. This
is regarded us nothing more than
talk b\ some amHtlous s. riI»#*. who
either dots not know a n\ thing about
league affairs* or else is trying to pull
the wool over the eyes of somebody.
He reekops without the v lear-sighb d
lieaa of the magnates, however. They
know how things are going, arid no
amount of threat* will frighten them
to do anything that the\ do not think
for the best.
And, aiso. has it not been said that
thf re is no possible « hatue for any
up "ith any of the Carolina dubs'
N*> better authority for this an In*
asked than the author of the story
published in The Virginian on >n
toiler 1. The president of the Holds
boro dub is one ot the biggest base
ball magnates in Carolina, and he
stated poaitlv aly on his re rnt visit
to Richmond that an Interstate league
would not even b< eonsidered, for the
reason that it is regarded as unprofit
able.
Norfolk Holds ItHiiv
It is most !ikel> that the eireult
committee. composed of liii hhiund,
Roanoke and Norfolk, will be in her
mony. as stated above President
N\ illiams, of the Roanoke elub. is a
vise baseball man and he does not
entertain an> idea ol standing up for
Danville when he knows ihai It is
impossible lor i he liugs in remain,
lie ma> he a brave man. loit he will
Hot make his elul, a martyr to .mini
a cause, shutting himself out m the
cold and losing baseball for tils < lty
Norfolk simply will not stand tot
Danville. The Tars mean what they
say when they declare that Urey w II |
organize a little Tidewater league ..i
their own, with Portsmouth, Newport
News and Hampton This will bt a
money maker, and they do not eat c
much whether they rio ti or not.
This, tiieir. settles tile mailt i. il
Nt rfolk says so, Jiauvilh must go
Richmond does not t are mm h on*
way or another, they are neutral bui
st th* . same tune, vitally interested in
the outcome of the matter. Richmond
wants baseball and the Colts will he in
the league whatever clubs go to make
il up.
W lial's in a Nmuie.
Something has been said about an
enactment of the National Association
at the Memphis meeting a year ago It
is slated that at this meeting the life
of the Virginia league was extended1
until 1U1 s and that this nullifies the
five year agreement just expired.
Such talk is about in hue with tlu
other parts of the uriieie in w ho h
this paragraph appears What » in n
name : Any number of towns m Vlr I
glnia could organize a league just ns !
Piers are more tliaii one ieuguu m ,
Carolina. What a it* prevent
Ai the recent meeting ot the mag
nate-s, President Wells said "It se. in
to me thai you people can get b,g< ther
now about aa you please, lie contract
has expired and you are simply in
dividuals, you t.m organise .■ league
taking in any dubs thai y ou may in -
•ire "
• our learn la-ague.
i.' the circuit committee should nol
ho-ei in harmony if President Wil
liams, id the Roanoke club, should
stand out for Danville. it will make
rio reaJ difference. Richmond and
Norfolk w ill stand together and Mr.
Williams can hut turn in a minority
report to the magnates. It is up to
the magnates to make a decision and
when It conies to them the Bug
win probably ge».
if Lynchburg and Roanoke see fit
to M&nd by Danville, thus splitting up
the force* In even par to, there is noth
ing left to do but lei them go and
knock at the gates m Carolina for ad
tniMbm.
The Virginia League win then or
ganize with four strong dubs in a
email circuit, one that will make a
minimum transportation expense and
Mie that will be a money maker
necessity the organization v. ill be
romposed of Richmond, Norfolk,
Petersburg and Portsmouth. \ni
bad organization at that. Roanoke
and Lynchburg will probably be ad
mitted It* they desire to t nme In but
they cannot work any hold-up game.
H I* believed that they well undti
•tood this, regardless of wild stories
to the contrary.
Meeting About < o'clock.
The meeting ...f the magnates is
scheduled for 2 o'clock but several
of- them stated Monday that ,they
would likely be at dinner at that time
and that some time would he spent
n lobbying They say that thev will
lardly convene before 4 o’clock *
The circuit committee will hardly
be In ecHHion o\ er a half hour and
they will finish their business and
draw up their report before the din
ner hour. If they are in harindny
their meeting will be very brief
. President Williams, of the Roanoke
club, reached Richmond early Vun
day morning with Mr Wilkinson, of
the Lynchburg dub. Mr. Williams Is
Willing to Tie president of the league,
but be says he does not wish to offer
by the magnates Mr. Williams is a
good baseball man-and would doubt -
lea* make a good head for the league.
Mr. Hannan, however. Is now the
logical candidate and will receive the
Support of Richmond, Norff.dk. Iv
teraburg andf Portsmouth. (t Is not
believed that Mr. Williams will Offer
•tty atrong opposition to Mr. Hannan
-ajgdar the condition*. DanviUe would

Hugs " » ro to remain in the league.

XKW YOLK. i K i HI, New- Y,,rk
baseball fans want to know whether
l.arrv Lajoie was ■ • nti111 • i to the night
hits lio made in yesterday's double
header at St, Louts. which derided
tin- hatting supremacy in his favor as
against T> Cobb. ami incidentally w on
for iiiin an automobile prize.
The report that the St. Louis tippl
ers shirked and loafed on l.ajote's
grounders and turned them into safe
ties lias aroused tile hasehall colony,
and local sport writers are asking
whether another hasehall scandal will
have to he aired. It is considered
significant that seven of Lajoie’s eight
hip were infield grounder*. As Lar
ry is not tile swiftest man in the
game, the opinion prevails that the
Si Louis Infield deliberately threw"
the hatting honors in his way.
If Larry won honestly-, he has the
laugh on Ty <’ohb, who in a signed
artiele recently said that Laj.de was
an old-time slugger rather than a
scientific batter, such as himself.
WILL TOT FOR RECORD
AROUND THE DIAMOND
NEW YOltK. iht 10. In the com
ing series between the New York
i iiivnta mid Highlanders Daniels, the
licet left fielder of the Highlanders,
will try to beat the record made by
Haris l.obert yesterday la circling the
lanes in lft 4-5 seconds. New York
fan; believe that Daniels is the fastest
mar. in the gaftte to-day, not except
ing Joseph Devore, of the tiinnts, or
"\ (’obi. of Detroit They have seen
