RICHMOND CLUB DISBANDS.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Richmond last night said: THE Rich
mond base ball team disbanded tonight
1t is believed that the North Caroline
clubs in the league will play the league
out, as they are all said to be in good
condition and enthusiastic"
Another Associated Press dispatch
from Richmond said: "It is understood
here hat Norfolk is considering g
transfer of it's ball team to some town
in North Carolina. 1t is thought un'
likely, however, that the deal will be
made, as it is believed the dropping
out of Richmond will dissolve the
league"
The above telgrams will be read with
regret by the base ball sports as al

make a good showing in the second
series and thereby create enthusiasm ant
