LOOKS OVER FIELD
 FOR NEW HOPE HALL"
Volunteers of America Try to Look After Newly Discharged
 Prisoners

Major r. c. Fegley of New Orleans, southern states commander of the Volun- teers of America arrived in the city yes- terday, for the purpose of Investigating conditions and looking over the field for a suitable location for the establishment of Hope Hall or place of refuge for discharged prisoners. This project is part of the work of the Volunteer Pris- on League, of which Mrs. Ballington Booth is the leader, and was started in Sing Sing. N. r., some IA years ago.
 The idea of the Hope Halr' is the establishment of homes for paroled or discharged prisoners.
 Hope Halls' have been established in the states of New York, Illinois, Ohio and Louisiana The home is for the man who wants to lead an honest life and who, leaving prison, finds himself friendless and homeless. Through two homes over 5000 men have passed out into q new life. The one in Illinois, proving too small for the constant demand, is to be rebuilt within the next F months.
 The Hope Hall" is not a permanent home in which men can settle down and be supported. It is stepping stone 10 the new life
 The Volunteers also try to help ;he wives and children while the husband or father is in prson
 Major Fegley Is making a tour of the southern states and said that 1t was the purpose of the Volunteer Prison League to secure a large farm if possible for the work in the south. In speaking of the Volunteer organization Major Fegley said, I've are going ahead in our own way, md certainly not antapOuistip tn any other organization.
 "A mistake has sometimes arisen through the confusing of names of as- sociating us with the Salvation army. Their work is in other fields, their meth ods and government are entirely different from those of the Volunteers. Our pris- on branch originated at the very onset of the Volunteer movement. and as well known to our wardens this was a pioneer work in formerly untried and unknown fields. If the reader wishes to learn from men in close touch with the prison question what they know of our work, we can refer them to Major McLaughry, federal prison, Leavenworth, Kan; War; den Mover, federal prison, Atlanta, Ga, Warden Murphy, Joliet H.; Warden Smith.

.END|COTT MAKES GREAT
TIME IN FIRST HEAT.

Billy Endicott, the speed king, took
his racing car to the Fair Grounds
yesterday evening. and after jog
or two turned her loose, as Presi-
dent Tompkins observed. for a miia
spin. He made the circuit in sixty-
one seconds.
Endicott's performance indicates 4

Herbert Wilson at the carnival OF the

sand lay deep all over It, so under the

Herbert Wilson made couple OF
rounds in fast time, but did not go
after a record. He is saving his eff

track will be In perfect condition.

posing pitcher from the mound?
That IL the way the game goes.
If the manager makes change
and It works he is a wizard. II he
makes a move that fails he is a
chump. a bonehead and a few other
unwise things.
It's all In the way things break.
Manager Sullivan resigned Satur-
day because he thought he was not
getting the best results from the
team. that he was not being backed
up properly and because he thought
he was unduly criticized.
He found out In a few minutes
that President Bradley had the ut
most confidence in his ability. that
every man under him felt he had
sustained personal ioss and that
the majority Of the fans were with
him. Sullivan withdrew his resig-
nation, quite properly.
II have every confidence in Man
ager Sullivan" said President Brad
ley last night. He not only knows
the game. but every man on the team.
knows that he does and respects him
accordingly. He has had and will
continue to have the fullest authority
in the management OF the team. If
he wishes to obtain new pitchers he
has carte blanche to Go so.
Mr.. Sullivan has given Richmond
good team and although the luck
has broken badly al times l look to
see the boys finish in first place or

will have to beat us for the pen
nant I am perfectly satisfied with
Manager Sullivan and from the eX-
pressions j have heard the people
that attend the gaines are satisfied
with him also. He is popular with
the patrons and players and we all
want him here
That appears to settle matters.
The Colts start on e series with
Petersburg to-day. Perhaps they will
shake the fink in the Cockade City.
Unless they run up against a string
of portpaw boxmen they should do
very we'll. The iert-handers have
been the most successful box artists
against the Richmond boys.
President O. f. Roach. Of tie Dan

day to forget baseball or the race
would drive most of them to the Dairy
League.
The teams are too evenly matched to
play to form and it Ii exasperating
for any manager to see his team get
the worst of the breaks.
Richmond has lost more than one
game through the fault of Incompetent
umpires. One game with Petersburg
was an absolute gift to that team.
That sort OF work il far from en-
couraging, and when the manager Is
led to believe, as Manager Sullivan
has, that the Richmond team 10 mark
for unlpires and owners, and 10 bound
to get the worst of IL on Official rtsi-
inye, he is apt To lose aggressive
ness.
Sullivan has been blamed for not
taking a pitcher out of the box when
hit hard. Now any one can be wBse
after a game has been played but not
always while the game ia going on. A
pitcher might have q bad inning and
pitch shut out bali the rest of the
game or he might go along good and
blow just when victory appears GER
calm. Not all managers are mind
readers.

MANAGER SULLIVAN DISCOVERS HE
IS POPULAR WITH BASEBALL FANS

II Manager Sullivan, Of the Rich
mond Colts. has had any doubts about
where he stands in the opinion OF
President Bradley, the men under him
and the fans of Richmond, they have
been removed beyond question.
sullivan is a hard loser. He has
done all in his power to give Rich
mond winning baseball team. and
In the opinion of most persons he has
succeeded wonderfully we'll. To be
sure. with a limit on the salary ques-
ton Sullivan has not been able to get
all the men>he would like to have,
but his seiecVlon Of talent has shown
him to be wise in picking players.
In Martin he has the best short
stop In the league. In Baker he has
as swell little player as one may
find outside the major circuits. In
Maths he has another youngster who
VIII go higher Dobson, the first base
man. although not the heaviest hit

AZ any man on the paths. and about
as good II run getter as there IL In
the league. Pop Egan Is an earnest,
Woodworking old-timer, who knows
the game and helps to steady the
youngsters. McCabe and Wallace also
are veterans, and George Cowan Ia
too well known to need any extra
bouquets tossed his way.
In pitchers Sullivan has a quartet
second to none. Revelle Is pitching
great ball. Rapp has shown himself
to be a hnrler with speed and curves.
Pierce can put more on the ball than
any other pitcher In the league, and
John Nerbout is by no means a weak
box man.
Naturally, when the team falls to
win every series IL enters. the fans
want to know why. and some Of them
have blamed the manager.
That is a mistake. 1t Is not the
fault Of the manager. 1t Is merely the
luck OF the game.
