New Club.
The Virginias is the name of a new base
ball organization that is destined before the
close OF this season TO thoroughly satiate the
appetites Of the cranks for good ball playing.
Each man on the team has record and prac-
tice within the past week has demonstrated
that if they can do anything the
team can play ball 1t is the aim. object
and ambition OF the Virgnlas TO ele-
vate the tone of baseball; to frown
upon any attempt made TO intimidate
that man will be amply repaid when be
makes a two-bagger and steals third; TO dis
countenance all attempts at sliding to second
as injurious ana unhealthy and TO have any
person promptly elected from the grounds
who INDUCES in disparaging remarks about
the players. etc.

sports but their chief aim is to so shine their
star that in the baseball armament it will
completely outshine any other satellites that
may be 10 the immediate neighborhood.
