That Richmond business men will try
to purchase the Montreal franchise,
and that the question of Richmond get
ting into the Eastern League circuit
will be discussed today at the special
session of the Eastern League is a
story now going the rounds. The mag
mates of the Barrow circuit convened
at the Hotel Victoria this morning in
New York.
Richmond fans turned out ten thou
sand strong to see the All Star-Ath-
letic game at Richmond on Wednes-
day, and they believe that Richmond
is now ripe for class A baseball in
stead OF being rated with class G
cities. 1t is understood that the Bar
rowites will decide on $500 as a
draft price for their players next year
instead of $1,000.
The National Commission, 1t is I'M
derstood. will see to it that he Amer
lean Association and the Eastern
League will get the $1,000.

The mail brought this today:
To the Sporting Edltor OF the Evening Star;
| have read with interest In the
various newspapers of the Princeton
Lehigh football game last week. With
very few exceptions, yours being one
of the exceptions, the criticisms lave
all been as to the strength and faulty
playing of the Princeton team. While
| know that Princeton is prominent
among the teams that make football
history why not give credit where
credit is due?
Some papers speak of the score
as a fiuke on the part of Lehigh.
Well, let us say that Lehigh did tie:
the score on a fluke; does not h fact
that Lehigh held Princeton down to 6
points show conclusively that Lehigh'
was a worthy foe, and when n is
aware of the fact that "Bosy' Reiter
is coach at Lehigh, Reiter, of Princeton
gridiron fame, it seems to me that to
him great credit Is due. Coach Refers
motto, which reads, Let US strive for
our ideal, which is at the end of the
ever-receding horizon, the goal of sue
cess" alone speaks for his credit, and
1t is small wonder to me that Lehigh

major leagues.
Some people wonder what was the
matter with John Miller at Pittsbure
this year, and go so far as to say
that McKechnie will replace him next
year. Pitcher Steele, of Brooklyn, who
was with Pittsburg. says John played
himself out remaining In the game
when he was not At and his legs were
had. John Is still a great ball player
and with a winters rest should be
better than ever next year.
