Last night Sullivan haG a long talk
with Mr. Bradley. Various matters OF
more or less private nature were dis
cusscd The local magnate was happy
as lark at the arrival OF his man
aser. IN a day or two Sullivan Will
start work at the park. lie has in
| me several local youngsters who will
be given q tryout.
List OF Youngsters,
Following Will be found the Official
i!st OF players so far secured, as given
out by Sullivan last night:
overwhelmingly Verbout. Rovce
! Brady Whitaker. Harlburt ana AZ.
Cabe Will probably not be brought

Catchers-Sullivan, Cowan, Dawson.
Lodge. Cleveland and D1axey. who S.
| also an outfielder.
1nfielders-Baker. Martin. Dobson
Emory. Clauser, Pfahler, White and
Stamm.
Outfielders-Witt, Wallace, Burke,
Everett Moorcland. Maxey ana Maths
It Is possible, nay. probable, that
some of tho above will not he brought
to Richmond. Indeed, Sullivan has al
ready cut or couple Of pitchers. and
"'c OF Two ,nhel' MS, notably Land
graff. But there will be a few addi-
lions before the season opens. As
heretofore. those players not making
good IN, Virginia will find berths In the
very Sood farm land OF North Caro-
| lima.
Burke nnd Wallace Back.
Probably the biggest surprise to the
fans Will be the return Of Wallace and
+, Burke Of last years team. Wallace
is probably one Of the most popular
! players ever in Richmond though the
same cannot be said for Burke. who on
ono or swO occasions acted In a rather
/ 'ippish manner and to the disgust OF
| tho fans.
As to my own Impressions, sullivan
looks like tho goods. He talks straight
from tho shoulder answers such oucs-
| tons as he feels will not hurt the
interest of the club. is WORKING al Of
the time, watches every point, ana
