is now at work on two propositions tc
furnish local fandom with high class

sideration. and will shortly make known
the result.
TWIN CITY LEAGUE.
The other scheme Is to organize 4
twin city league getting two teams from
Richmond, one from Barton Heights and
one from Manchester. The idea is to
play three games week in Manchester
and Richmond, and this has mot with
much general favor from those who
have considered the plan.
In the first Instance It is proposed to
organize an all professional league OF
eight clubs, while In tho second the
scheme is to have only four clubs and

NOT YET DETERMINED.
Both Of these propositions have their
strong points, and both have many sup
porters. as result Of which Squire
Donati has not yet determined which
will be adopted. He has the final say
so In the matter, and 1t is entirely with
In his power to give Richmond an all
professional team and series OF games
with the other cities Of the State or
furnish local fandom with amateur ball.
On first blush the former plan looks
the best for fandom, but would such
prove success? This question stands
sa tisfed himself on this score 1t is safe
to say that Richmond will not enter the
league. 1t has been tried before and
each time 1t has failed. The latter pan
seems the best, and will probably be
adopted
ONLY A PIPE DREAM.

Forgellul OF the winter day.

The game has started under way.
Strike one" the fire is burning low,
The drowsy rooteTs nod away,
The fire lights shadows come and go:
Strike three, you're out" the rooters
bowl.
The pitcher smiles and mods his head
He sees the batter's heavy scowl--
Dat ball went tree feet wide" he
said.
The final inning comes around,
The rooters howl and roar and swear,
The other team begins to pound
Their twirlers curves; he's In the air.
And Thus the rooter dreams away
or sunny days that soon will be.
He sees the rival teams at play
He smiles and chickles In his glee.
''IIurrah. corker; watch him rum
You're out" he hears tho umpire
shout.
The dreamer reachers for his gun,
And wakes to find his pipe gone out.
