George Cowan Is
Slated for Umpire

George Cowan is likely Ia Join the
Virginia league staff Of umpires. Co
wan has received word from Presi-
, dent Boatwright, of the league, invit-
ing him to a conference and II is
probably that the appointment will
follow II this happens the fans viii
rejoice, all through the league, for
two reasons.
The first reason is Cowan's popu-
iarity with the fans. and tine second,
his unpopuiarity with umpires in gen
eral, when he was a player In the
league. Cowan was as peppery a
player as ever drew an ufnpire's at
tent!on to IN error IN a decision. He
could get himself fined and bantshed
in quicker time and for a less ofense
than any player in the league,
When Bob Pender was umpirtng 3n

It might be said hat Fender used
to oaX Cowan's goat away about

That settled the game. but in the
eighth Richmond put fou rJs1s across

Griffin a life. A mtx-up by Verbout
gave Burke another. Castro made d
