Especial to The Richmond Nirginian.)
CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, March
s.-Much interest is being felt here in
anticipation of the coming visit from
the Philadelphia Athletics, the world .
baseball champions. The Athletics
are at present nmbering up at Hot
Springs. Va. and on March 3 will
come TO the University to play an
exhibition game with the local var
sitx Head Coach Rigier, of the
National Leagues umpiring staff. Ia
a personal friend OF Manager Connie
Mack. OF the Worlds Champions. and
Mr.. Mack has written that he will
put his best team against the Orange
and Blue.
1t is thought that Bender and
Coombs viii pitch. and that Thomas
and Lapp Will do the receiving for
them. Eddie Collins will also be the
center of much attraction. He Will
doubtless be remembered by some
of the older students as having play
ed here several wears ago while he
was going TO Columbia University.
before he graduated into the big
league.
The Virginia squad is working out
daily on Lambeth Field in effort to
have the team we'll rounded into form
by the time Of the first game. Coach
Rigier and Director Lannigan ARE
well pleased with the prospects. and
hope to make q good showing against
the Athletics.

TON OF LATTER BY
xANDAIlS.

mr. NEW YORK, March IS. 1.-THE sigss.,
posting crew of the Automobile Club
of America has just returned from an
extended trip through New England.
They have made a report which is
Interesting in it's bearing on the char
acter of signs which give the best
service. Only few years ago enam-
Ell signs were erected by the club on
the Boston and Albany Post roads
and the main fine to Philadelphia.
These signs We're specially manu-
featured for the club at a big expense,
and II was thought at that time they
would stand as testimonial to the
energy Of the A. c. A. for decades to
come The cost of erecting them on
substantial iron posts was also quite
an item of expense.
A majority of these signs are now
practically useless Malicious per-
sons. combined with the elements,
have Clipped OFF the letters and fig
ures until scarcely a whole town name
IL left on any OF the hundreds OF
signs which were erected.
As has been explained, the blue
and white enamel creates a most
attractive target for boys to throw
stones at. When the signs are struck
the enamel flies off in a perfect show
CT vi SAhpc. nv uoS aioHk ttiS
way consequently regards the destruc-
ton of enamel signs as quite equal
TO the sport of breaking windows in
vacant houses,
The only course open to clubs erect
ing road signs Is to follow the exam
pie of the A. c. A. and put up COM
paratively Inexpensive wooden signs,
thousands Of which have been placed
by the clubs sign posting car. They
are not SO easily destroyed or so ex.
pensive to replace.

In National League circles konet-
chy is regarded as the best first base
man OF the newer stars, but from
present indications Daubert, OF Brook
lyn. Is likely to give him a run for
honors. Daubert. like Tenney and
Chase. is left-handed. He handles
himself very much like these two
great players, and he is making his
mark as hitter. On the paths he
has shown cleverly. and such author
titles as John Il. Foster predict that
Daubert will not have to tip hts hat
even to the peerless Chase when he

Merkle and Hobiitxel are about on

any other man under the circum-
stances. and Merkle has shown by
