Good Suggestion TO Baseball Managers

10 the Editor OF the Dispatch
That we are 10 have a State League C:
baseball composed OF six clubs, repre-
senting as many cities, seems an assured
fact.
As a lover Of the national game, and one
OF a thousand who would like 10 see
IL a success. / beg to call attention to
the manner in which some of the games
OF last season were conducted, and hope
IL will not be the case this season. Seve-
raj times last season 1 went over 10 Man
chester 10 witness the games (advertiseO
between the Forest Hill and virginia
teams. and was surprised when the gam"
was called to find a mixture OF players-a
few OF the Forest Hills playing on the
Virginias' and vice versa. This should
not be allowed this season. as lovers OF
the snort will not patronize such games
Both teams should sign enough men,
so I'm case OF dlsablement or sickness OF
a PLAYER his place could be filed by one
OF his own team. instead OF having 10
borrow n man from their opponents 10
helm win the game. Richmond and Man
chester are represented by two efficient
baseball managers. l refer TO Billy
BRADLEY and Tim west. and I hope they
will remedy this complaint and give tho
public good. clean ball.
