Mr.. bradley Talks.
Mr.. w. b. Bradley gave his first
authentic statement Saturday on the
subject OF placing Richmond In the
Eastern League. .No one has APP
preached me on the subject said the
local magnate. II only know what I
have seen in the papers. So far a. I
know there is nothing in II. except
considerable talk by people who know
nothing about baseball in general and
still less about the laws laid down
In the blue book.
''In the first place. continued the
owner. there is almost no possible
chance OF the franchise coming here.
for the reason that It viii prove roo
expensive Under the rules Montreal
Will have TO be paid, and 7 under

Too Many Obstacles in the Way
of Deal That is Spoken
Of.
A COSTLY PROPOSITION
OWNER BRADLEY TALKS
Would Require s1oo,ooo to Make
the Change All or None
Says the Mag
nate.

From present indications, there Is
little likelihood or the Montreal fran
chtse being brought to Richmond
next season or at any other time ex-
cept, perhaps. in the distant future.
Although the stories published recent
iy about this matter may have some
foundation at the other end. they
have none herein Richmond. and this
Is the place that must say the word.
In making the big talk about bring
ing the franchise to Richmond the
outsiders overlook many important
points that have bearing on the
case The BASEBALL "Hiue Book pros
vtdes for such transactions in no un-
certain terms, and It is evident that
those at the other end have over
looked the rules that govern the
transfer OF franchise.
Montreal has perfect right to quilt
and the franchise can be taken any
where they with, that ID, provided
that place ID not already occupied.
but all the good places are taken.
They must buy territory. and the price
is the thing that will make them think
hard before doing business
The Blue Book provides that in the
transfer OF 4 franchise there must be
general subtraction all around or the
deal d on. The leagues that are az
fected must be satisfied, the owner
must be satisfied and all hands must
agree 70 the move. In fact, 1t IL q
delicate proposition, and the national
association looks out for the smaller
leagues In . like manner 70 the larger
ones.

---------------
Will Play Hampton and Fort
Monroe of Peninsula League
on Their
Grounds.

Immediately following the close of
the Virginia season on September 10.
the Colts viii play week of exhibition
games with fast amateur or semi
professional teams.
A series had been arranged with the
FayetteviiiA team but this club is go
lar behind In the pennant race that
the local management has decided to
call the series off for the reason that
fthe Fayetteville club will not be
good drawing card.
The series will be played with two
Of the strong teams OF the Peninsula
League. The first two or three games
Will be played with Hampton ana
then two will be played with the Fort
Monroe club.
Hampton has a big lead for the PEN
nant In the Peninsula League this
season and the other clubs have no
possible chance of getting ahead of
them. The Crab bers have one of the
fastest semi-professional clubs ever
gotten together In the State Their
star twirier is Jackson. who was with
the Richmond squad all last spring
and WAS released in order that he
might get more experience. Ii Is most
likely that he will be with the club
again next spring.
DIR. George W. MeAllister, manager
of the Hampton club. believes that his
Crabbers will give the Colts a good
fight. The peninsula Is baseball mad
this summer and ii Is expected that
the series will attract immense crowds
on the Hampton and Fort Monroe
diamonds.
The Soldiers have strong club this
year also and their games with the
Colts will attract good crowds each

While there lis no telling what may
happen In the final round OF the sea
son. Ii now looks az ii the Bugs Will
win out. Their lead is not so large.
however, that they cannot be passed.
For instance, IL they drop two games
to the Colts Saturday while the
Champs are taking two from Norfolk,
Roanoke will be in the lead
The Bugs have lead of only three
games over the Champs and this IL
mot a secure lead. Grifin realizes
this and knows that he will have to
keep his men on their toes in order to
insure the bunting. Saturdays dou-
bie-header will have considerable
bearing on the race. and II the Bugs
are successful while the Champs lost

the race. :
with perfect weather conditions
for the balance of the season. the
Champs yet have d good chance to
catch up. But the weather must per
nit the playing OF games. else the
Champs cannot win.
Roanoke has played six more games
than the Bugs this season, and IT u
these six games that have been lost.
The Bugs win now play about eleven
more games. il rain does not prevent
any, and the Champs will play about
ten more.
With all OF these games TO be play

which Of the clubs will win out. They

FIVE. MORE YEARS
FOR THE LEAGUE

who is the most logical candidate. Is
Mr.. w. H. Lucas. now president of the
Northwestern League and OF the Inter-
Mountain League.
Ii is understood that Mr.. Lucas has
been anxious TO come East for some
time. and II IL very likely that he will
be offered the position. The new
president will do nothing else besides
look out for League affairs and will be
expected to give his entire attention
to the business OF the league.
The only question THAI is disturbing
the rnagnates liz whether or not they
can offer the new Candidate enough
salary to get him 10 accept the posi-
ton. 1t Is stated that Roanoke and
Manager Griffin, of the Petersburg
club. are both In favor Of appointing
MIR. Lucas TO the presidency and
Richmond favors him IL Mr.. Wells
refuses to consider the position for
another term.
Weed Out Empires.
Probably the first orficiai act OF the
new president win be TO wed out his
umpire stan. And such wedding
this win be. More than one OF the
present arbiters will hardly be seen
on the Virginia League diamonds for
a long time. and most likely. never
again.
The new president WIN follow the
example Of President Lynch, OF the
National League. and insure his clubs
the best possible service. so far as
arbiters go. President Wells is not so
much to blame Tor this seasons rough
house umpirtnE. since he was not on
the ground to make a personal OBJ
servation OF the doings. but the new
president will be furnished with
enough data 10 60 on and his first Of
fetal act win be TO cause q little action
among the umpires.
Danytlle 70 Stay.
II seems that the talk 0f Danvilie
being dropped out of the feague, has
no foundation and next season win
find the Bugs again putting up = good
fight for the bunting.
Most Of the magnatex consider that
II would not be sportsmanIike nor for
throw out the club that wins the
championship. II IL expected that
something will be brought up Ut the
meeting about this matter but II is
expected that II will be side tracked.
1t Ii certain that Richmond and
Roanoke viii stand by DanvilIe. The
Danviile people are looked upon az

however. When going right. Cobb Is
conceded by experts as the greatest
ball player that ever lived.
Cobb now has Shs lead in the con-
test among the major ieaguers for the
high batting average which carries

When you get out Of bed, raise
your arms over your shead, and,

ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out

backward and downward. This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-

emily we're old acquaintances and
who met in jovial mood. Both
men we're quite gray, but each had
luxuriant head Of hair. Near

Of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face

about the thinning of the thatch,"
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, much TO the

to the evident diseomliture Of the

The talk finally developed into an
argument on the cause OF badness.
and after considerable jocularity
the pair turncd to the pearly pated

My friend and have been dis

There was certain Hercules en-
glne which cut a noble figure in tn.
English blizzard of 1886.
To appreciate the role played b,
the Hercules some idea must bs
gwen of the effect of the storm OF
other methods of travel. Fourteen
mail coaches were abandoned on a.
many roads. Another was dug out
OF drifts five times between Exeter
and London.
Another was buried SO deep that
1t took 300 men, principally sappers
and miners. several hours to make a
passage to the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers, while near
Chatham the snow lay to depth of
thirty or forty feet, the military be-
ing turned out to the number of
600 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten
feet deep, and hundreds Of men and
carts were employed hauling snow
out to the fields in the suburbs. The
markets were in bad way. One
day only four stall holders were
able to reach main market. Greens

previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less a sum
than 81 2s. Sd.
Amid all this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves |
with glory by running trains almost |
without interruption. There was a
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
of people turned out to
see how the Hercules engine would
get along. They imagined, of course,
that she would be stopped, but to
their astonishment the engine DASH

her way through apparently with

Sage Tea For the Hair.

For sage tea take two ounces ol

two ounces of green tea. Put in an
iron pot (be sure that you use an
iron one) and add three quarts Of

until only two quarts are left. Re
move and let stand for twenty-four
hours. Then strain and put into
bottles. Apply to the scalp every
morning and night, massaging gen.
tly for five minutes. This is splen.
