larger field from which to draw mate
rial, and there is no reason why TINS
city should not be the victor in 1915,
and it probably will be. There are in
Washington nearly 100 mines, and it is
certain that these teams represent at
least between 1000 and 1900 players
1t is not probable that Richmond can
produce such an abundant resource
from which to replenish its ranks. and
it undoubtedly will learn in another
season that this has been an off year
in the National Capital as far as real
strong amateur clubs are concerned.
There is another factor that may be
taken into consideration when Rich
mend's success this year Is mentioned
there is great deal more enthusiasm
In that city right now than in Wash
ington. man prominent in amateur
base ball circles had the following to
say relative to that the other day:
"Richmond is amateur base ball
crazy ] have never seen anything
like 1t. Many of their contests be-
tween amateur clubs bring out
crowds as large as some of the pro-
fesslonal games played between teams
or the Virginia League. Every team in
that city has an exceptionally large
following. and there are few games in
winch a clubs adherents are not on
hand 10 give it their support. And
there is a whole lot more general in
1889 man one might ordinarily eX-
pect If Richmond wins this war
from US it will consider that almost
as great victory as if the Virginia
league Dennant were won, strange as
that may seem"
Next year may see a REORGANIZATION
OF amateur base ball in this CITY, There
IS d1st1nct idea among many of those
VINO nave been following it that there
are too many leagues to get the best ont
OF the sport and to develop the best base
pan possible. 1t has been suggested time
after time that it would be well to or
sanlze about three or four circuits which
would be composed of the most CAPABLE
payers and teams of about the same
strength. Then. after that was done,
tnere would be left the second and third
rate players to make up three or -four
other bodies. OF course, the leagues
composed of the poorer class of PLAYERS
would not draw crowds but 1t is argued
that the other organizations would do
enough better to make up for more thai
that. 1t has been the case this wear.
ana IN previous years, that there were
one, two or three teams in each league
that completely outclassed the others.
The result was that there was absolute
~ no interest in the contests in which
the weaker clubs took part. and only
two or three times in a month were
games of special noteworthiness sched-
uled. That made it Improbable for all
concerned. Now the problem is to take
all these strong teams and place them in
two or three leagues in which all the
CLUBS would be on pretty nearly an even
basis Such a move would be beneficial.
but whether it will be done Is question
