AMATEURS AWAITITG
INTERCITY SERIES

Final arrangements for the intercity
baseball series between the cha mpion-
ship amateur team of the District Of
Columbia and the championship team
OF Richmond have been completed, so
far as the Richmond end is concerned.
Because of the difference In the play

reflections on people who have shown
their loyalty by attending the apollo
giles Of games which have been pre-
scented this year. The pity of II is
that there appears to be no relief for
the owners of the Richmond team APP
pear unwilling to take a chance In
any faster company. At least no eff
fort is being made, and certain 1t is
that nothing can be accomplished
without effort,
II the attendance at the local games
is what report says 1t is, then the
published figures give the lie to any
prediction that Richmond would be
unsuccessful in faster company. Ma
turally the purchase price OF the fran
chise would not be the only consideru-
ton. Along with the franchise Will
come added expenditures In the way
of improving the local plant. and that
there is vast room for improvement
those who attend the games know full
we'll The cost of maintaining the
team and the plant would be increased.
Richmond would not Ne ar home each
week end. But the fact that Rich
mond would not be here each week
would but whet the baseball appetites
of the public to see the team in ac-
ton when it does come home.
The increased cost would proba
mean n decrease in the dividends This
would undoubtedly be true for the first
two or three years the team was in
faster company. And there's the rub,
for the local owners will not put up
the money for Richmond to get into
faster company, when. win or loose,
good team or poor team. the dollars
come rolling in just as surely as the
sun shines. There is but one way for
a ball team in Richmond to lose money
and that is for Mr., j. Pluvius to work
every day that the ball team is at
home. 1t is a rather deplorable con-
dition but II exists. Right now with
the opportunity at hand a master
stroke could be made by trying for
the Jersey City franchise. Admitting
that the chances of landing 1t are ever
so remote; admitting that there is alb
solutely no chance to get into faster
company. even then the public would
appreciate the fact that an. attempt
was being made. II is bound to come.
and If the present owners are too
timid. then outside capital will be en-
listed. II the public clamor means
anything ii means that no baseball
would be far more preferable than

the ball perfectly and made what
