TO the Senate his veto Of the so-called FrawIeE

bill passed both houses last year. but Governor
Higgins allowed It 10 die in the thiTty-day pefloo

In his veto message Governor Hughes explains
the purpose Of the bill and his reasons for obSp-

II was found necessary 10 strike out the original

TEAM GETTING IN SHAPE
Prospects For Baseball Season
Are Excellent
GOOD MATERIAL FOR The CLUB
Squad of Ten Began Practice on casI-
no Diamond Yesterday-several Old
Players and Some New ones In the
Bunch.

With real baseball weather prevail
ing, the Newport News baseball club
began its preliminary practice for the
season of 1907 at the Casino diamond
yesterday afternoon. squad OF ten
players, including several faces new
to local fanatics reported for practice
and about an hour was spent in light
work.
Although most of the players had
not handled the horsehide In six
months or more. they showed an apt
ness in fielding that was surprising.
With about two more weeks of hard
practice the team should be in excel
lent shape.
Among the new players that will be
given try out this season are South
paw" Gaylord, of New York; Man
ming. of Binghampton, N. Y; Romig,
EARLY and Owen Stone of this city, and
doc" Sturdevant, formerly of Ports
mouth. Sturdevant Will be behind the
bat throughout the season and Gay
lord, Beckes and Finn Will do the box
work Manning is being given a try
at short stop and Early will look af-
| ter center field. Romig very proba-
bly, will be called upon to cover the
,lird sack
Among the old players that will be
on the team are John and Pat O'Hara,
Beckes, Maloney, Vernon Payne and
| Hughes.
According to the present arrange.
ment the baseball season will open
Thursday with a game between the
anipbuilders and the Montreal team
of the Eastern League at the Casino
park. This will be merely practice
4 match, but fast exhibition of the
| National sport is looked for.
Manager Loeb proposes to give the
fanatics of Newport News some fast
sport at the Casino park this sum-
mer and he is already arranging for
games with the Fort Monroe Artil'
