create stir in the breasts of some Of
my more enthusiastic brethren. Just
because Williams. president OF the Nir-
Einia League. has stated that he will
call no meeting OF the league for
January 10, for the reason that neither
the Newport News people nor the
Portsmouth people came across with
the requirements attached to the appli-
cations for membership. some OF my
Very good friends who write their
opinions by the yard, and simply for
the purpose of filling q hole which
would otherwise appear either above
or below the comic pictures on the
sporting page. have thrown couple
OF fits, grapplcd with the air and let
loose other significant mutterings
which TO those OF us who sit quietly
by. firm in our knowledge and salts
fed in our complacenoy, furnish real
good. long, satisfactory kind OF a
laugh.
Naturally this is no sermon. but dear
friends, Il you will recall, it was point
ed out in these columns that President
Williams would not call meeting of
| the league on January 10. or ON any
other date. unless he had in hand from
the two prospective members an appli-
cation. signed by five representative
citizens saying that they would be re-

AS president Of tho league Williams
had perfect right to do just what he

al the Norfolk meeting nc could do
nothing else. Now get THIS quick, I am
not arguing that what he did do IL
right. or that It is for the best inter
