The exclusive article In yesterdays

Virginia the coming season caused
much talk in sporting circles. and In
terest Is already being taken in the
game. a VirSnian-P Pilot reporter called
on Captain Cunningham and that jovial
gentleman said he was more convinced
than ever that the game would pay.
Yes we will hold n meeting Mt the
Monticello Hotel on Thanksgiving
night. and 7 think representatives from
all the cities will be present" said
Captain Cunningham. Norfolk. New
port News and Richmond are ready,
and. of course, we Will want Ports
mouth in the league. for without our
sister city the game might lose that
snap and ginger that Is characteristic
when the clubs OF Norfolk and Ports
mouth get together. Personally favor
a Virginia North Carolina League. and
I should be pleased If we could have a
league composed of the cities OF Nor
folk. Portsmouth. Richmond. Newport
and Durham. They are all good ball
towns and there is absolutely no reason
why big crowds should not attend.
I'VE have many natives of the Old
North State here. and they are just as
enthusiastic as any of the fans. I still
have the Norfolk team. and with help
am prepared to give the public first
class games"
