that fellow chamblisE. who was in
Rocky Mount last year and who we
tried 80 hard to get last season. He
would not play professionally but we
heard from him lately and he seems
anxious to go out this seasono. 30 L
think we will have him in line in a
day or two. You no doubt know w g
have secured two good men from
Greenvillel Do you remember how
hard 1 triod to buy tho outfielder Piez
last season? / think he Is u good one.
AS for the pitcher. Frey, L cannot say
much, only what the dope has on him
In the Record. / also signed UP an
old head in Pitcher Bridges, who is a
big fellow and was q fine pitcher, but,
like n very few of the professionals,
he actually gave up baseball in 1910.
He married, but, owing to family DIFF
ferences. forsook the diamond for a
business life, but tho Did seed is sprout-
Ing out again and he wants to get
back in harness, and 's anxious to try
out the Virginia League. He weighs
200 and Is SAX feet two In height, so
he ought to DO able to show US some
thing. and with our old heads, Bussey.
Griffin. Strain and Burleson. We look
kind OF nifty on the mound.
After One More Fielder.
II think our outfeld looks good.
but we arc still after another one in
Bill Laval, who you no doubt know.
and II we get him we will sure have a
good one. There are two or three OF
the Virginia League clubs after him
now, but think he has a good thing
In Grecnvile and hates to leave. l
am in receipt OF letter from Mr.
Bradley. and he says Tenant has con-
sented TO return to Richmond. so we
ought to have few fast men. be-
lieve II wo had had another fast man
on the bases last year there would
have been nothing to that pennant
race. hope to have couplo of speed
artists this year. expect you will
have Newton down there about March
20. as he wants to get In ahead of the
rest to look for i place for the sum
mer. See where we have game
booked for the 9th. so the boys will
have to go some. and most of them Will
be In on the cath.
IT have sent them all word not to
put IT. or any later than that date.
SO in a short time We will be on hand
for another battle. and the fans can
get a line on the new ones and give us
their opinion. ! am mailing you a
copy OF tho names up to date. and will
wire you IL land Laval. can
scarcely believe 1t is baseball time, 1t
i

"I expect to leave for Mt. Clemens
about the twentieth and / will be SO
