.F|NLAy TO CAPTAIN
VIRGINIA BALL TEAM
Elected to Succeed Douglas,
Who Will Not Return
This Year.
Snecial Dispatch TO The Star.


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October l.
1T became known late this evening that
Edward Finlay would captain the Virginia
base ball team the coming season. When
it was stated about ten days ago that
Malcolm Douglas, then captain elect and
star shortstop of last seasons nine, would
not return for the 1923 session OF
school, it was then prophesied that upon
Finlay would fall the honor of leading
the Virginia nine. At meeting of the
members of last seasons team F1nlay' be-
came the unanimous choice.
Finlay is from Chattanooga, Tenn,
and before entering Virginia attended one
year at Sewanee University. At this lat
ter institution he made quite name for
himself as a base ball and foot ball play
er. and it was quite a boon for the Orange
and Blue when he decided to finish his
collegiate career at Virginia. Two years
ago, his first at Virginia. he was both
all-south Atlantic end and all-south At
lantic catcher. Last year he again played
these positions for Virginia.
Because of the service he has done the
university at these two big branches of
sport F'inlay was the logical choice
for captain OF the next Dali tedHl lie
should prove an excellent leader. "Cmp''
Rigler of the National League paid
Finlay the high compliment Of stating
that he had more base ball sense and
exercised better judgment than any man
he had ever seen in college base ball.
Finlay batted over 300 last season and
led the team in stolen bases.
While plans for the coming season are
still undecided, it is thought Rigler will
again coach the team. Last seasons nine
was one of the best ever turned out of
the southern institution.

MANY DEMOCRATS GIVE
FOR SUPPORT Of CAUSE
Dollar Subscriptions Reported
to the Kelley Central
Committee.

Business and politics kept the pot boil
ing last night at the meeting of the dem
ocratic central committee. of the clan
headed by J. Fred Kelley, which met in
Lewis Hall. Forty-three advisory men,
bers of the committee were elected and
satisfactory reports of the one-dollar
subscription plan were received.
William J. Neale, secretary of the COM
mittee, said In the course of a speech
that the government departments had
been posted with signs warning civil serv-
ice employees not to contribute to any
political fund. This, he said, was mere
ly subterfuge to keep money from the
democratic war chests. as the republican
contributions were coming from the civil
service employees Levi David followed up
this speech with the statement that re-
publican contributions are being solicited
in the government departments.
The treasurer reported that he had $500
as the result of a campaign for dollar
subscriptions. and that he expected
thousand dollars by the next meeting.

committee are DR.. Oscar Wilkinson, w
