meeting of the Virginia League base
ball magnates was held in this city
tonight for the purpose OF electihg
officers for the ensuing season and
to transact such ether business as
might be brought before them. Sew
eral matters OF momentous interest
were decided, besides the election OF
officers. which was the principal bust
ness OF the evening. among them
being a decision to transfer per
ton OF the Saturday games, which
have heretofore been considered the
exclusive property of Richmond. to
Ncrtolk, the conclusion being reached
that Norfolk has a right TO 4 reason
able number of them.
The NEST interesting feature OF the
evening in connection with the cleo
ton OF officers was the almost I'M
animous demand of the league mag
mates that Jake Wells remain as
president Of the league for another
term. II will be remembered that
there was considerable opposition to
the reelection of Wells last year.
He has been president OF the league
since its inception.
Chas. Consclve. OF Norfolk. was
elected vice-president Power TO ap-
pcint secretary was vested in stbe
president who will very probably
name Secretary Gregory TO. succeed
himself at a salary largely in excess
Of that which he is now receiving.
The work of the secretary during
the past season was highly COM
mended by the leagle owners The
regular staff of umpires will be Sc
Iected. three regulars and enc sub
stitute. Twelve players and man
ager will be allotted to each team
The number OF Saturday games to
be detected TO Norfolk was not de-
ternlined upon. There will be made
(. generous allowance however. There
was practically no opposition to this
change except that Richmond stood
out for the majority Of the games
on the ground that the capital team
practically supported the league.
