So far as Richmond is concerned the
new United States League is a sues
cess. The business men OF this man's
town have come to the rescue, and
the $4,000 needed to finance the club
has been practically subscribed. Ten
men did the work. 1t was an appeal
made Richmond the city 1t is would
not lose the opportunity to make it
even greater. In NIL more than $4,000
In stock has been subscribed and paid
for, In addition there are about six
teen men, perfectly responsible, who
have signed the lists In the hands or
the workers. but who have. not paid
the required $40. However. they have
stated that they would make good
when called upon.
Al NEWMAN and hts Rebels will
leave Richmond tonight at $500
o'clock for Pittsburgh to play series
of three games with the Fnipinos.
They will return here Thursday for,
still another series with the samei
club. The men have received the
greater proportion OF their salaries,
and the remainder Will be wired to-
being played President Henderson,
promises to have tho rest of the
league in good shape and ready to
finish the season.
incidentally it might we'll to res
mark right here that every hat should
be off to Henderson He has done
that which few people would believe,
was possible. Ie has built on the
most abject heap of nothing anotheN
league. and he has accomplished thei
result by toting fair with everybody.i
There have been no misrepresentation,
lions. The bald facts We're told, andi
knowing the true condition of affairsI
Richmond has responded and respond
cd nobly. +
Accomplish Wonders.
It is no small task to start out and,
attempt to raise $4,000 in one days
time to be appropriated for a venture
which at best must be characterized
as precarious. The lie direct has been
given to those people who have mains
tHine6 that Richmond
town. There are no tinhorn sports
here. but there are sound and sane
business men with keen Appreciation
of the bigness of Richmond. and Ia
was these business men who came
to the front and put up the money.
There were n number of men who
were willing, nay. anxious. to put up
the entire amount. But this was not
the Idea of the committee OF ten. zone
hundred men, each interested In the
club. will mean approximately 5000 =
people who will boost for the United
states League. No man has less than
five friends. and each friend will plug
the cause" That's the way these men
argued. and they argued just Ike what
they are--business men.
y glance over the list OF men AND
firms who are interested Will tell the
story more positively than nero words.
There are some OF the most respected
and most publc-sprted ctzens OF
any community interested IN the ylre-s9s
organized local United States Leagua
team. The work will begin again to- N
morrow morning. and long before
nightfaN the entire $4,000 will be IN
hand.
Advertising Richmond was the sloS
gan. And another influence was that
not n man approached would have the 4
word go out that Richmond WAC not
able to raise enough money to pay N
ball players who mad worked repres
senting Richmond. They wanted these
men paid. and paid quickly. Again.
they wanted Richmond represented In
gathering of cities in Richmoud,s
class. 1t wasn't gamble with them:
1t was business. without frills or does
orations.
Up to Other Cities.
1t is now up to the other cities &ofs 3
the league Baltimore. Reading. cni-
tago, Pittsburgh, Cinctnnati; they must
como across and show that they are
deserving of being linked with Rich
mond. Each OF these cities muat puk
up $4,000. Then tina league Will sba
properly financed and ready to 70
against the difficulties which Will nec@
essarily arise. s.s *. ~ ~
