(Special)-The Republicans OF Radford
held a mass-meeting last night to select
delegates to the legislative convention,
which meets here on the nth. The attend
ance was not large, and the proceedings

BROWNIE Sold TO PHILADELPHIA.
Third -Bnseman EIberheId To Enter
the National League.

Elberfeld will play in Philadelphia
next season. For some time he has been
candidate for National League COM
mates have been negotiating for him.
Mr.. George L. Stallings. manager OF the
Philadelphia club. was here Tuesday
and saw the little fellow play. He ex-
pressed himself as being well pleased
with him, and at once made an offer
fer his purchase. A proposition was
made by him, and counter proposition
was made by the new management.
This proposition Mr.. Stallings took back
10 Philadelphia with him. and yester-
day he wired his acceptance Of It. BY
the terms of the agreement, Elber. will
finish out the Atlantic League season
with Richmond, and will report for duty
in Philadelphia on the 2Oth, when he will
be put in the game to finish out the
big league season.
Elber is a clever ball-player, and has
won his way into the affections Of all
lovers of the game in this city. The
cranks will be sorry to part with him,
but he was bound to 60 as had not
the management sold him he would have
been drafted at the end of the season,
and they would have simply been money
out of pocket
1t will be funny. indeed, IL Elberfeld
goes from Richmond TO succeed Billy
Nash, an old Richmond lad. but from
what Manager Stallings let drop while
here. it is more than likely that this will
be the case.
Wells played behind the bat yesterday
and did some stellar work, too, making
a beautiful catch of foul fly which ran
him against the grandstand.
Foster covered third bag in a very
creditable manner, Elberfeld having been
temporarily incapac.tated by blow he
received in the practice.
The Athletics come here to-day, and
each day during their series two free
season passes will be given away.
Herman Semi and Walter NJ. Whitlock
both boys about IL years of age, got the
tickets given away yesterday.
Manager Billy Smith of the Norfolk
team, who has been sick at the Lexing-
tor Hotel, was on yesterday removed TO
