The fact that there seems TO be a
chance for Richmond TO secure fran
chise in the Eastern League has met
with popular favor. Expressions OF
opinions from men who CONT have
been heard, and these expressions not
only are to the effect that avery er-
fort should be made TO secure the fran
chise, If 1t is procurable. but that the
Campaign should be started now
Argument that the local tnagnate
has not been approached by any per-
son or persons offering the Baltimore
franchise for sale is funny. Certainly
ne has not been approached, nor is the
Baltimore franchise on the market at
this time. There is, however. strong
proha bility that the franchise will be
for sale. and this is the point that is
being brought out row.
II Richmond wants the Baltimore
franchise, then II is UP to Richmond
to so after 1t; not sit down and walt
for the franchise to come on a silver
platter. 1t may be that when the
time comes for the franchise to bc
placed on the market that there will
