My neighbor. the chaplain, had in

porting his injury to the executor OF
my grandfathers estate in New York.
Everything else that had happened
was tame and unimportant compared
with this. Why had John Marshall
Glenarm made Arthur Pickering the
executor of his estate? He knew that
l detested him. that Pickering's noble
aims and high ambitions had been
praised by my family until his very

SIX CLUBS INTERESTED.
SIX CLUBS INTERESTED.
MANAGER JESSUP is STILL
SEARCHING FOR PLAYERS AND
is ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF
PITCHERS.

Final arrangements for the organi-
zation of base ball league to include
Richmond, Portland, Bluffton, Deca-
tur, Hartford City and Van Vert, o.,
will be made Friday evening of this
week. The meeting of the managers
of the clubs in the proposed league
will be held in Indianapolis in the
Office of the sporting editor of the
Star.
Manager Jessup Tuesday evening
communicated over the long distance
phone with A. r. King, who is sport
ing editor of the Star, and asked him
to assist in the organization of the
league. Manager Jessup stated that
Richmond and that he and Manager
Hubbard of the Van Vert team could
go to Indianapolis that evening If the
meeting is held then. Mr. King was
asked to communicate with the man.
ayers of the Bluffton. Portland, Hart
ford City and Decatur teams and ar
range to have them present on that
evening. King stated that he would
do so and that he would do any thing
else in his power to make the league
go.
The manager of the Hartford City
team is as anxious to get his team a
berth in a good league and when
he was approached by Manager Hunt
of the Portland club with a PROPOSE
ton to enter the league, he lost no
time in giving his consent.
No Beds of Roses
Managers of Independent teams do
not rest on beds of roses and the
managers of the teams to compose
the proposed league realize the adj
vantage such an organization will be
to them. 1t viii mean in the first
place that the players under contract
to each team will be obliged to re-
main with the club. If any kangaroo
tactics are attempted the player will
be blacklisted from organized base
ball by the national commission. In
the second place the fans in each city
will better patronize their teams as
the interest in a league race is all
absorbing. In the third place all the
teams will be equally balanced as to
strength and every game played in
each city in the league will be a good
one This will be especially pleasing
to Richmond fans who have had to
witness games with such teams as
the Columbus White Sox. several poor
indianapolis and Cincinnati outfits
and other equally punk organiza-
lions.
