MAN AT CONFERENCE.

Bishop Collins Denny. Of the Meth

assist bishop Wilson in conducting the
Virginia conference al Salisbury. Md,
next November. This announcement
H. made in connection with the re-
port that Bishop Denny is 10 trans
fer his residence from Nashville To
Richmond.
Bishop Wilson is getting very old
and infirm. and for that reason tho
college OF bishops deemed 1t best that
he should have help at the next con-
ference over which he will preside.
When he presided over tho conference
here last fall. Bishop Wilson showed
the effects of age and long service very
strongly. However. his mind is still
active. and his friends hope that he
will be spared for some years yet
Bishop Denny will probably move
to Richmond next October. Mean
while Mrs. j. w. Dixon, his daughter.
OF this city. will secure residence
for him.
The report that Bishop Denny viii
move to Richmond Is based on a
statement from a Methodist minister

AN ORDER Is AN ORDER; RICHMOND
PLAYS HOLIDAY DOUBLE-HEADER

All Petersburg TX coming to Rich
mond Tuesday evening. Their base
ball team plays the second half of a
double-header with the sullivan elan
in Broad Street Park. The first half
was played in the Cockade City in
the forenoon. as the genial gentle
men who make up the Virginia State
League think that when two cities
are neighhors like Richmond and
Petersburg. it Is only fair TO divide
these double headers equally.
The fans agree with them. The
fans would agree TO most anything
to see couple of games on holt
day. They are even content to go to
Petersburg on such a morning just
to see the Colts trim the Busch
ieaguers. However. Petersburgers
come over to Richmond In the after
noon. which is sort of fair ex-
change. 1t may he that more Peter
ties come to- Richmond than Richard
ties go to Petersburg, but that is
really not surprising when you come
to consider the--~iIh baseball teams.

You can compare the baseball teams,
perhaps, but not the cities.
The teams will play four games in
