Ing OF the magnates OF the Virginia
League. Mr.. Bradley stated that he
did not think there would be any
dtfiicuity about the owners getting

entire business Of the league would
probably be finished in a short meet
ting.
We will get together and make
up the schedule to the best interest
OF the league. said Mr.. Bradley. 1--WE
have always been able to agree on
the schedule and the one settled upon
last year WAS satisfactory to all con-
cerned. 1t is necessary to make up
the schedule In accordance with the
size of the towns in order to insure
the best returns in the way of re-
cetpts. III such schedule Ii arraug-
Ed as Is suggested by somebody in
I4ynchburg we will have nothing more
than a Fourth Of July League as

through the season OF course the
magnate1 always try to do the best
they CAT to get a coed team and to
win the games. but when they get
together to transact the business or
the league they must abide by the
Judgment OF the majority and this
judgment viii surely be Tor the best
interests of the league When on.

all the magnates will have more or
less TO say about the schedule. as il
most natural. there will not be any
squabbitng as the best plan will surely
present itself after the entire mat
ter has been discussed and the schs-

tendance of games here. This sche-
dule has been turned over TO Score

will be submitted to the magHates
AT the coming meeting. So far as
Mr. Bradley is concerned he has no
serious objection to offer to the Nor
