SPORTING COMMENT
By T. D. BONNEVILLE.

/, yolved and the best course 10 pointed
out to the magnAtes, there Will be
little difficulty about making sched-
uie satiaactory To- ell
Fhc announcement that the Urfver-
sity OF Virginia ID considerine the
matter or ignoring tho annual foot
sity and substituting . game with
the Carlisle Indians has caused con-
siderable stir among the alumni and
undergraduates OF both institutions.
Virginia has good grounds for this
action, since Georgetown 10 not up
to vfrginia's standard In football, and
the annual games usually result in
walkover for the virgtnians and dis
appointment for the large crowds who
attend In the expectation OF seeing
good contest. Virginia Will make a
good move In stepping higher In the
class OF teams on the schedule, cspe-
cialiy this season. a. II has been AN
nounced that the schedule fnust be
limited. The class of football that has
been developed at the university dur
ing the past few years puts the school
easily in the class with Carlisle,
Princeton and Navy. and there is no
good reason why games with these
should not be arranged and those with
weaker colleges left or.
1t Is stated that ueorgetown Is sore
over the matter. and that many OF
the undergraduates are inclined to
dfscreift the report. on account of
the pleasant relations that now exist
and have existed for the past SIX years
between the two institutions in ath-
letics. Without going into the mat
ter of the authenticity Of the report,
which, however. IL said to come from
high source. II is true that George
town Is not in the class with Virginia.
and a change should be made. Fur
thermore, Georgetown does not yet
know that football will be allowed at
the institution next season, and will
not know until after the 25th Of next
month. when the rules committee will
make known Its findings. and II can.
not be expected that Virginia should
forego all opportunities OF accepting
offers for good schedule in the
meantime, 1t has been announced
by the university authorities that the
schedule will be short, so in order to
get a good one 1t must be fixed up
quickly before the big colleges COM
plete the fixing of their dates.

In thirteen seasons Keeier batted

without an equal. Keller has been

knows It, so he decided to quit while

Somebody interested In the welfare
Of the Lynchburg team has 'ndited
an exhaustive TRADE about the sched-
uie question that Is now stirring the
faagnates of the league. In titscuss-
ing the schedule submitted by Owner
Bradley. of the Colts, the article says,
among other things. that Lynchburg
Will object to 1t on account OF un-
necessary jumps, and for the further
reason that they may want the week
end series. 1t says, further, that Roa-
noke objects because 4 wants and Is
entitled to an opening date at home.
and. continuing, asserts that Norfolk
is putting up howl II suggests that
schedule be made that will put the
teams away from home for q week
and at home for week, and. IL pos
sible. give Richmond few more Sat
urdays at home than away, but make
a schedule that looks like a schedule
to baseball men.
II this article expresses the mind
OF the LynehburR Baseball Associa-
ton, Ii might he well for them to ex-
ercise their privilege of submitting
such q schedule as to them seems
best There is an understanding In
the league that each club, If ii Is
sufficiently interested. may make a
ufaft OF the sfnedule IL wants ADOPT
ed and submit a copy of this to the
other clubs before the meeting of the
magnates in March.
owner Bradley, In submitting his
schedule, only exercised his preroga-
tive, ana expected in doing so that
he would receive the schedules from
the other teams in accordance with
the understanding. He does not ex-
pect to run his proposed schedule
over the other clubs, but sent 1t to
them, so that they could make close
study of 1t and prepare for the final
arrangement at the meeting. If the
ofher clubs would extend similar
cou reesy, there Will be more of an
understanding and less confusion In
the arrangement or the schedule when
the meeting Is held.
As a matter OF fact, II is the gem
eral opinion that Richmond repre-
sents the bankroll of the league, and.
in view of this, 1t behooves the mag.
mates to keep an eye on the financial
welfare of the organization. and in
arranging schedule make this one
of the deciding factors. When the
question of dollars and cents is in

MACK
ASKS FOR GAMES
Manager Of Athletics Writes to
Owner Bradley for Game
With Colts.
----------4----
WANTS. MARCH 10Th
Bradley Unable to Give the Date
Asked, But Invited Mack to /.
Come March 30th.

Manager Connie Mack, of the Phil
adeiphia American League team, has
written owner w. b. Bradley, of the
Colts, asking for a game here with
the locals on March %. In his let
ter. which was received by Mr.. Brad
ley Tuesday. Mack stated that his
regulars were scheduled for game
with the Greenrille club on March
rs, and that although he had not yet
looked up the train schedules, ne
thought that he would be able to get
his team here In. time for game on
the goth. and that, II possible, he
woufd tike very much ~ arrange for
game on that date.
Mr. Bradley replied at once, adviss
ing Mack that the Washington Club
was booked to play the Colts on both
the 2sth and 2sth, and for this. rea-
son he could not give the Athletics
a game at the time requested.
He offered, however. to give Mack
a game either on the Both or Sist, or
on both DAYS. Mr.. Bradley thinks
that he-Atflleties are booked -tf, play
somewhere else on those days, but he
mpes to have at least one game Will
them.
Locals fans would doubtless rather
see the Athletics here than any other
club in the American League, with
the exception of Detroit. on account
of the fame of many of the players
and the close fight that they gave
the champions last season. II they
come here for game either ott the
s0th or 31st. they Will doubtless at
tract one of the largest crowds OF
the exhibition series. Macks Young
sters are tn one squad playing ex-
hibitton games through the south,
and his regulars are. travelling alone
for the spring training. Ia his letter
to Mr.. Bradley Mack did not men
ton kiF youngsters, but said that ne
wanted the game for his regulars
