tary's office it is proposed TO main

It was decided to appoint com
mittee Of representative citizens who
will interview the business men, own
ers Of real estate and others to de

Lynchburg, Va. July 1.-THE champion
ship race in the Virginia League is and
has been for several weeks not only the
closest by more than half a hundred
points than any other professional league
under protection. but 1t Is probably IN
paralleled in the history of the national
game.
Since the season opened, all Of the
teams have led the race. with the single
exception Of Roanoke. and that club
held second place on three different oc-
casions. With the close of the series
ended Wednesday afternoon with Lynch
burg at Norfolk, Richmond at Danville.
and Portsmouth at Roanoke, there was
but .065 separating the first and sixth
teams. There has not been a day for
nearly a month that there has not been
a change in the relative positions OF the
six teams. In a number Of instances the
place by a single victory, 10 drop back
the next day by one defeat. and several
times since June 10 three clubs have been
tied for second position.
Richmond opened the season with a
rush on April IS, and won six straight
games. and that team led in the race
until. on May 6. Danville tied for that posi-
ton. On the next day Danville took the
lead and maintained 1t until, on June S.
Portsmouth was tied with that club for
first place. Danville, however, managed
to get undisputed claim TO the top rung
the next day, and maintained it until
June "A. when Portsmouth forged ahead.
For six days that team was the leader.
on July l Lynchburg was first. July ?,
Danville, and then for five days the local
team was on top. BY losing Monday and

Against Crews from Boston, New

Determined TO make the best show pos

Boat Club yesterday engaged the services
OF Pat Dempsey, the veteran coach, TO
take charge Of the oarsmen and whip

The National Regatta is the blue rib
bon event OF aquatics in this country
and the Potomac eight will be pitted
against the best intermediate Fights of
Boston. New York. and Philadelphia.
The makeup Of the crew is very IN
certain, as Dempsey has not looked the
candidates over. Almost the entire crew
that won on the Potomac last fan will
try for a seat IN the eight and 1t is
improbable that the crew that won at
Philadelphia. July 4. viii be sent back
intact 70 try for the national event. when
such good men as King, Miller. Bell.

The Potomacs expect to send a crew 70

Special to The Washington Herald.
Norfolk. Va, July 14-Sunday base
ball, something yet unknown in Virginia
was again called off here this after
noon. this time because the heavy rains
which fell until noon left two inches
OF water over most of the Lafayette
Field diamond. The weather was fair and
both teams, the Norfolk state Lesguers
and the semi-professional club from
Newport News, were ready for the fray,
but the water made play impossible.
"A squad Of county policemen was also
on hand, but they were not there to
arrest the players or 10 stop the game
According TO Justice of the Peace J. S.
Carmine, IN whose magisterial district tho
ball park is situated, the most the police
could do would be 10 summon the players
TO appear before him for violating the
Sunday law.
According TO the law, the justice says,
he might impose fine OF 50 and costs
on each of the participants in the game.
That programme was satisfactory to the
baseball magnates. Should the penalty
for playing be no severer, II is probable
that Sunday ball viii be a regular &C.
