SPIDERS MAY WITHDRAW

MORE GAMES ARE PLAYED
Football Management Protest Ruling of Executive Com
mttee at Recent Meeting Calling for Two Championship
Games Between Each Team.

The colleges in the Eastern In-
tecoIlegiate association are TO
play two games with each team
next year, according 10 a recent
decision OF the executive commit
tee of the association. The de-
cision was reached and the resp
luton passed at the last meeting
OF the committee and the informa-
ton has been sent to the various
schools throughout the State.
Richmond college has received
it's notification of the decision
and also the information that tho
other colleges IN the association
Hampden-Sidnsy, Randoiph-Ma-
con and William and Mary, have
agreed to the change. Up to Last
night the council OF the local COLI
lege had taken no action ON tho
matter, but it Is understood that
but few of them are in favor Of
agreeing to the increased number
of championship games and that
the students, almost as body,
are against the move
The objections made by the stu
dents is that 1t keeps the players
on edge for too long q time, and
that 1T prevents the team meet
ing the clevens OF larger colleges
as they wish to do, now that they
have begun the development Of 3
strong college team. 1t IA not
known when the athletic council
of the college win meet to con-
slider the matter, as most of them
are at present sout of the city,
with their return q matter Of uEl-
certainty.

Should the Spiders withdraw

deemed uncertain that they win

Many letters and kilograms have
been received by the management

yice-President E. ]. McKeever. OF
the Brooklyn club, when he heard the
news. said he did not believe 1t he
declared that Dauberss contract with
the Dodgers had two years to run. and
that he did not have an idea that the
champion National league batsman
would prove n deserter.
Daubert was a member of the fra
ternity's committee, which met the ma
tional commission in Cincinnati last
Tuesday He signed his name to q

for Dick Egan to be on the safe side.

consent in accordance with the
original agreement. Hermann. finally

Herzogs consent will be asked.
when the proper time comes l

cover the $15 900 paid to Cincinnati for

our officials will reach satisfactory
agreement without friction"
Daubert assured Mckeever tonight
that there was nothing in the Pitts

DATE OF EXECUTION
PAST; LEE is ALIVE

Marion Lee. of James City county,
according to orders of the court should
have gone to the electric chair on De-
cember 18th. for murder However, be-
cause the State failed to exact the
penalty on the date set Lee must now
be resentenced by the trial court. and
will probably not be executed before
the latter part of February.
The case is a singular one and has
Just been brought to the attention OF
Governor Mann. Superintendent Wood,
OF the penitentiary, was notified some
time previous to tie time set for the
electrocution that an appeal would be
filed In the Supreme court and delayed
the execution on that account. No such
action WAS taken by counsel for the
man. however. and the date set by law
for his electrocution having passed he
must now be resentenced before the
penalty can be exacted.

WANT MORE TRAINS
AMELIA COURTHOUSE

Members of the State corporation
commission in company with several
Bon Air citizens and officials OF the
Southern railroad will make a trip from
this city to Amelia this morning to
consider the feasibility of scheduling
additional trains asked for by persons
living In that section.
Efforts to have more trains run on
this route have been made for some
time past and yesterday a committee
waited on Judge Rhea concerning the
matter. The committee Is especially
anxious to have another morning
train scheduled and to be assured
that the other trains will be operated
on schedule time. Many delays
caused by congestion of traffic and
other causes have prevented the trains
running as the time tables called for.
The matter will be settled by the cor
poration commission after the trip to-
day,
