President Boatwright Announces
List of Reserved Players.

An oSerzealous Norfolk correspon-
dent OF Sporting Life has in the cur.
rent issue story which would be
good piece OF press agents dope were
there any truth in the article. DOC"
9Pressiy is made the feature of the
story, and Richmond is credited with
making bid for the successful mana
gers services. The story reads as fol-
lows:
1t looks as though Richmond and
Norfolk may get into a little con-
test over the services of DIR. w. l..
Pressly for manager next season.
Norfolk had the man this year.
= Roanoke had him last year, and
both teams have pennants to their
credit. Richmond. With ono cham
pionship to her credit since 1906,
~ wants Pressly, apparently. under
the belief that his coming will
mean another pennant Pressly is
about tho best product the Nir-
ginia League has ever put in the
II role OF manager.
j When asked as TO the authenticity
of the article. Secretary Treasurer
BRADLEY, of the Colts, IN positive terms
denied that there WAS any truth in the
story. and at the same time said that
there was no chance OF Richmond or
any team in the Virginia League get
ting l'fcSSiy from Norfolk.
AS to the selection OF Il manager for
the Colts next season, Bradley has not
given that subject any thought, and
will not do so until after the meeting
of the minor leagues, which will be held
this week, and the major meetings,
which arc scheduled to he held at New
York next month.
\ Richmonds baseball future is at the
present time an uncertain proposition,
and many things, basebailcallS speak
ing, may happen before time to call the
athletes together for spring practice.
1t Is likely that the owner of the
local franchise will attend the meet
Ing of the major leagues next month,
when 1t is not at all Improbable that
new circuits will be formed, one of
which may include this city.
