In concluding, Mr. Booker said that

team. and produced letters showing
that MIR. Bradley Is anxious TO got
Newport News into the circuit The
Richmond club owner writes that the
visiting team never has taken down
less than $500 for three games In
that city; that Norfolk will pay $500
for three games and Portsmouth will
pay even more. while an even break
can be depended upon at Petersburg
and Lynchburg. MIR. Booker figures
that with a salary limit OF $1,000. a
Newport News team can make money
even though II does no better than
break even on its home grounds.
DIR. n. Lee Robinson. who was In
terested financially in the old New

doubts as to whether the required

would live through a season in the
second place. He wanted to know
how much It would cost per month
10 meet all expenses for a state
league team. but Mr.. Booker could
not give him an answer. w. ). Cope
land also wanted to know about the
monthly cost and expressed the view
that the meeting was working In tho

rense was ascertained. Finally Mr..

cost today from Mr.. Bradley or other
of the club owners.

erty.

the position of the Peninsula League

subscribe his $50 for the State league
team. but that ne did not want to Kill

did not think the business men OF

minded him that the Merchants AS
ISOLATION had put up money for the
old Independents and had virtually
revived baseball here and that they
had put up money TO bring college
football teams here. Mr.. Horwitz de-
clared that he had put up $500 for

Vincents team was organized ana
that the business men could be de-
pended upon TO do their share OF the
work to get the State league team

GOOD TRACK MAY
IMPROVE RACING
Recent Form ReversaIs Have
Been Attributed to Muddy
Condition of Course
By JOE MURPHY

The track at Emeryville will be in
good shape today and the horses that
favor fast going will have an inning.
The track has been muddy for some
days, but the recent dry spell has put
1t In shape again and the mudders will
be compelled to remain in the barn for
a while
Track conditions have undoubtedly
been responsible for number OF form
reversals and more uniform racing can
be expected on dry track The num-
Der of favorites that have won during
the season up to date has been below
the average. but 81 choices winning out
of total OF 1S6 races. which makes the
percentage OF winning favorftes about
34h percent.
Carroll Shilling again led the riding
division, finishing the week with six
winners to his credit. Guy Garner was
a close second, with five victories. The
little pilot went along for two days
without finishing in front. but he was
beaten out on one of these days by fn
ishing second in two OF the closest fn-
ishes of the meeting. Martin and

during the week. Following is the
standing of the riders during the
