Commenting on the desire FOR better
baseball in Richmond, Mr.. Foster
opines as follows.
Richmond says the United States
League should have been strong enough
to stand the strain OF trying TO break
into baseball because Richmond wishes
to get out OF the Virginia League.
1t IL the contention of the baseball
populsce OF Nirginia's capital thta the
city Is too large for tho Virginia
League and deserves something better
In the baseball world
That may be true. but vas the United
States League any better than the Viz
glnia League?
Ever since Richmond has done so
we'll in the Virginia League there has
been much desire In the city TO spread
its wings and climb higher in the base
ball world.
Richmond was up once, but. like
baseball ambitious, found that it was
one thing to pay the expenses OF Il
minor league team and support II we'll
and quite another 10 pay the expenses
OF a major league team and support
even the bat boy
Richmond in circuit OF the kind
which was mapped out for tho Unite!
states League. was q bowling farce
Inc United states League was a howl
ing farce from the start There arc

We're hardest hit OF all who know IL

Griffin has good ball club good
Tor the Virginia League, anyway. Tn
fortunately. until now he has not been
getting all out OF the club which
should have been produced. Some Of
in's may have been due to weak pitch
ing but not all of IT, 40 club. or
course, is stronger than its pitching
staff, for the very good reason that,
regardless OF its offensive power. a
team with a weak defense is absolute
ly helpless. But Grlhin's pitching de-
partinent is now as strong. as any in
the league. The team as a whole ha S
been hitting erratically, but even with
