A communication printed In The vir-
gilman yesterday. criticising the Rich
mond club and It's management. has
caused much comment. some favorable
and other unfaworable
One fan writes the sporting editor to
say that the criticism was unjust in
that the management has done every
thing in it's power, regardless or cost
to strengthen the team, and that the
whole trouble Is that the salary limit
is too small for n city the size and i'm
portance of Richmond.
"If we could get into n league COM
mensurate with the Importance and the
interest of Richmond, there would be
no kicking" said the writer. But
don't roast the management. We have
accepted the Virginia league as one for
the city and let us take our medicine.
and instead of roasting. let's boost"
Another correspondent says the writ
err of the criticism was not strong
enough
There is disorganization in tina
ranks OF the team" said the writer.
The change of lineup, and the over
working of pitchers, together with
placing sick men in the Acid, gives tho
fans the right to criticiss. They are
supporting the game hero and should
be given the right to say their say.
Griffin don't go in the game when he In
sick or injured
Other comments have been made. bnt
these two sufficient to show how
the sentiment is divided
AS a matter of fact the fans have
right to criticise If things do not
go right from the publics viewpoint,
| that public may speak out 1t pays
1.-THE fiddler, however, and the only way
| to get rid of the bad feeling occasion
| ed by bad playing Is to keep out OF
sight Of the bad playing.
On the other hand the Colts have
been putting up good ball, good as
the other clubs In the league, and
| should not be criticised ungenerously.
! The two games Saturday were most en-
| toyable ones.
| History OF baseball in Richmond
shows that when local club wins most
shows, by a glance over the pages OF
the record. that when a team loses most
| of them interest also dies. Then 1t
strikes us that, as the team is neither
| losing or winning most, the fan should
| simply sit still in the boat and root
| good and hard for the home club.
| And Manager Griffin might also. re-
| fratn from talking back at the fans
who criticise. 1t is bad taste. and tends
| to create bad feeling, which can re-
| suit in no good.

Amusement line. With the close Of
many of the theaters, for renovation
and rest. preparatory to the general

is a dearth Of offerings.

more frequently sought than the thea

EUGENE PUBLICITY
MAN VISITS GRANTS PASS

Morris j. Duryea, publicity agent
of the Eugene Commercial club, was
in the city Saturday in the interests
of the State University, his especial
mission being to tell the people why
the appropriations made by the last
session of the legislature should not
be held up indefinitely through the
referendum, and to warn the friends
of the institution to be on their
guard against this attack Of the
enemies of the college.
Mr.. Duryea said that the great
school at Eugene was progressing
most rapidly, and that about the only
encouragement the opponents of the
university were getting in their ef-
fort to referend the appropriations
came from a few people in Portland.
He found no adverse sentiment in
Josephine county, the university hav-
ing many friends here.
