Will, no doubt, be much gratifed that
this young star Is to work the rest
OF the season for Richmond. But his
smiling face will not be seen here un-
til next week. as the Colts do not
play here at all this week, playing
Thursday, Friday and Saturday in
Roanoke, an arrangement that had to
be made to divide the schedule as even
~ as possible among the six clubs.
Reyelle was rather expensive, pur-
chased as he was with two pitchers.
Vail and Carter. and $3.50, but Mr..
Bradley evidently thinks he Is worth
the two men and the cash bonus. as
the owner is anxious to secure man
who Is now IN winning form, and Re-
yelle Is showing up with the best Of
them. Vail started out we'll when he
came to Richmond recently, but he
became wild, and, unfortunately. he
has not been able to overcome this
fault.
AS soon as he begins work with the
Truckers he Will probably play better

the Colts who go to other teams. and

he will play the game OF his life.
Carter, unfortunately, has not been
in form since his injury by batted
ball. and 1t is not probable that he
will be able to recover his form this
season.
Revelle is to report to the Colts to-
day, and he will probably be used In
one OF the games against the Crew.
Vail will report to Portsmouth at
Lynchburg to-day. and Carter will re-
home.
Owing to the fact that league
games will be played here this week,
the management of The Times-nis-.
patch team, OF the Richmond Amateur
League, Is trying to arrange series
for these dates with the fast Winches-
ter team, and 1t is probable that the
two teams will meet each other on the
Broad Street Park. Both teams are
playing should follow. The Winchester
team has won the majority of Its
games, and the team is recognized as
one OF the fastest amateur teams in the
State.
In view OF the victory Saturday at

Baltimore; the Fairmounts. OF Phila-

rowing six seconds ahead OF the high

approval, and there is little doubt that
the movement would meet with sue
cess particularly in view of the In
creasing interest now felt in rowing.
