When Dutch" Reveile signed his
name to the contract for the season
of 1910 with the Richmond Colts the
popular twirler entered upon his fifth
year in the Virginia League. Revelle
has made a remarkable record for
himself since entering the ranks of
professional baseball, and although
his record for the past few seasons
has been phenomenal, he is expected
TO make the coming season ons OF
his most successful, and he will be
depended upon to bring many VIC
tories to the camp of the Colts.
With the fans RevelIe lis always
popular, and when 1t is known that
he is to appear on the slab for the
locals on the home grounds he draws
good crowds to the Broad Street park

feSsional baseball Revelle has beer
ranked as a winning pitcher, and, as
his record will show, he has made
good.
Before entering the Virginia League
Revelle played semi professional bal
around Norfolk, Portsmouth ane
Newport News. At that time his home
was in Portsmouth. He was taker
into the Portsmouth club during the
season Of 1906 and had a remarkable
success with the Truckers, and dur
ing the latter part of the season OF
1907 he was sold TO Richmond. TIL,
reason Richmond was SO anxious t.
get the twirler was that he showed VI
so well with the Truckers that Owner
Bradley determined to have him a
almost any cost The price paid fol
him WAS big enough, but Owner BrHd
ley says he has never had cause t.
regret the deaf In the trade Elch
mond gave to Portsmouth Pitcher
Carter, formerly of the Lynchburs
club, and Vail, whom Richmont
bought from the Lynn club, of th'
New England League Portsmouth
later sold Vail to the Pfttsburg clut
for $500, and that twirler has again
been sent back and will appear In thu
Virginia League this season In add
ton to the two twirlers, Mr.. Bradle,
