NEW YORK, December il.-Rich-
mond Will get the franchise OF the
Baltimore international League. This
has been settled. and all that remains
now is for the special committee, to
which has been intrusted the matter,
to discuss the matter and then go
ahead and close the deal.
Whatever this committee does Will
be ratified by the league magnates
later in the winter. Al the final adj
journment of the international League
magnates late to-day, the matter of
the transfer of the franchise was left
open, because 1t was thought that 1t
could be handled better by commit
zee.
ot is understood that the members
of the committee are unanimously In
favor of the tranYfer, thus practically
insurinS higher class ball for Rich
mond. The committee, however. in
tends to go over the entire situation,
and in order to do this, II Is under
stood that visits will be paid to Balti-
more to confer with Dunn. and also to
Richmond to confer with interests

DUNN SATISFIED WITH OFFER
OF VIRGINIA PROMOTERS
Jack Dunn Is willing to transfer the
franchise, Richmond has made him an
offer that is satisfactory to him, and
there is no kick coming I'm that direc-
tion.
The whole bone OF contention Is over
the transfer OF Jersey City to Syra-
cuse. The latter city has not come up
to the price set upon Jersey City, and
for this reason the transfers of the
two franchises have been held up.
Richmond is all right. and the transfer
can be made at any time. but not until
some city is willing to take over the
Jersey City franchise can the deal be
put through AS one magnate said to-
Nos - 10 use 10 tHnOuHCe One
transfer until the second has been ne
gotta ted.
The committee appointed to-day is
just for this purpose. that Is, to get
purchaser for the Jersey City fran
chise, then go over both fields where
new teams are to be installed and
then announce the transfers.

with proposition to take charge OF

Bill Clymer does not return. Clymer
is in the running to manage the YAM
KEGS, and from present Indications he
may land IT, rN
