That the patrons Of Richmoqd will
be rendered an opportunity TO witness
a better class of baseball in this city
is practically a certainty. If plans
which are now on foot are consum-
mated the Colts Will next season be
COM peting for the gonfalon in the Fri
State league, Class 3 organization,
which AZ the present time comprises
the towns OF Atlantic City, Trenton.
York Harrisburg. Wilmington and
Allentown.
Al one time this league was COM
posed of eight clubs, Reading and
Chester having dropped out before the
BEGIN ming of the 1918 season, and the
promoters of the league are now
planning to again make 1t an eight
team circuit. In all probability kicn-
mond Will be one OF the new clubs In
the organization. while !, Is not i'm
probable that Norfolk will be the
other In the event that the owners
of the Tars decide to retain their
franchise in the Virginia State league
either Reading or Chester may again
decide TO re-enter the organization. :,
Although Secretary William Il.
BRADLEY. Of the local baseball club.
Awould say but very little with reference
to entering the Tri-State circuit, he
did not deny having already taken the
matter up with the officials OF that
league. 1t is understood that Secre-
tary Bradley, together with other
stockholders In the Richmond club.
will shortly visit Altoona. Pa, for the
purpose Of holding conference with
Charles F. Carpenter. president OF the
Tri-State league, In regard to admitting
the Colts. President Carpenter has
already sent out Information to the

city Will be admitted. providing the
eight clubs can be secured, which. It
is believed will be a small matter.
Since the invasion OF the Federal
hague In Baltimore. which has caused
the attendance to fail of considerably
at the Baltimore lnternationals' park.
there has been much talk about trans
fering the Oriole franchise to Rich
mond. 1t has been practically assured
by the local club owners that this
franchise will not be purchased. Bal
timore is about four times as large
as Richmond and II the Monumental
City with Its large population. Is un-
able to support the team IL Is hardly
possible that this city can do so.
There are large number of high
priced baseball players In the Inter
national league and unless the fans
patronize the games literally IT will
be impossible to maintain the club.
The secretary OF the Baltimore club
was in Richmond last week, and wit
messed the game last Wednesday af-
ternoon between Richmond and Ports
mouth He left Friday without hav-
ing accomplished anything.
Notw.thstand the fact that
Richmond will not purchase the Bal

NEW LONDON MAKES
 ITS BOW TOMORROW
Will Play First Game of Season at
 Electric Field

New London, the club owned by Morton G. Plant, the millionaire sportsman, will make it's bow to the New Britain baseball public tomorrow afternoon at Electric field in the last home games of the Brownies" for the week. Just at present the ''Whalers'' are going at a fast clip but Owner Scinski hopes to be able to let them know they were in a game. If the New Britain players can get their eyes on the ball it will be Good night, New London"
 The New Britain pitching staff is the best in the league without any doubt but the big fault has been that the rest of the team has been unable to give the hurlers any support at the bat. When the clubbers start you can bet your last cent that the Brownies will march steadily towards the top of the heap.
 It is expected that big crowd of fans will go to Hartford Saturday to watch the Brownies attempt to grab back that game Hartford took on the opening day in this city.
New Britain herald., 1914-05-07

When "Bill'' Scinski bought the Meriden franchise in the Eastern as- sociation and said he would transfer it to this city, many thought he had purchased a citrus fruit. Many still think so. But "Bill' is an optimist and while the club has failed to de- velop much of a punch, he is con- fident that the desired punch will be forthcoming. At least he intends to stick it out and have winning team if he has to buy dozen new play CTS. Until the team hits it's stride and starts towards the top of the lad der Scinski will make changes. There are several members of the club who will remain, as they have made good. But there are also several memb bers who must show Scinski something better than they have since donning a New Britain uniform, or hear the rat tie of the can. Hitters, that's what Scinski is looking for, and unless there is better stick work done the fans can expect some new names in the batting order.

FEDERAL LEAGUE IN l.
 THE CAME TO STAY
Brooklyn NsgDate Says Financial
 Losses Don't Scare Circuit.

New York, May 9.--Organized base ball must sue for peace or stack its finances against the resources of tue Federal league promoters. No guar ter will be asked by those who have in keeping the cause of the indepen. dent circuit Such, at least, is the opinion of George S. Ward, vice-pres- ident of the Brooklyn Federal league club.
 The Federal league has done much better than it ever dreamed at tho start" said he. We figured that we would have to go along for year or two with all going out and noth- ing coming in. We were willing to take that risk because we had faith in the future of the national pas time.
 We spent our money and spent it liberally to provide fitting home for cur patrons. This home will be ready next Monday afternoon in schedule time for our allotted opening. Nov does organized baseball think we are foolish enough to squander for... tune on an uncertainty?
 My brother and myself did not go blindly into this baseball business. We thoroughly investigated the possib1ii- ties of profit. What we have done every promoter in the Federal league has done. 1t is our contention that there is plenty of room for three major leagues. If there is not we do not mean to lose out We will crowd one of the others out of the way. Which one doesn't matter a rap.
 The Federal league is in the field to stay. Certainly, if baseball sur wives, we will survive. A great deal of fun has been poked at the draw ing cards of some of our towns. We'll, just remember this; there is such a, fraternal feeling among the Federal league colleagues that if anybody needs assistance he will not have to beg for it. We will stand together from start to finish.
 1T do not say" continued MT. Ward, that the circuit as now comprised is a permanent institution. One orftwo of our towns have not shown the finan- cial returns we expected. But to say that any of these will be dropped is' absolute absurdity. The league couldn't drop them without their consent be- cause of its bylaws. And do not be- lieve there is an individual club pres ident who would switch his franchise if he could.
 The various packers of our league have faith in the towns they repre- sent. My brother Robert and myself certainly have faith in Brooklyn or we would not have spent fortune in rushing the handsome new steel and concrete plant at Washington park to completion. &. 9t e*-sfr
 Eventually it may be necessary to modify our circuit somewhat" said MT. Ward But if such a continRency comes to pass, there will be no occa- sion to look for outside help If it were to the best interests of our league
 to put club in New York proper. could guarantee the backing inside of twenty-four hours. If any of our colleagues should be so unfortunate as to need assistance my brother and will surely come to the rescue. The Wards are in baseball to stick and will protect their investments as long as they have a dollar

BORG CATCHING
 FOR LYNN TEAM
Former East Ender in New England League-"Bernie' Coyle With
 the Central Islip Club.

Catcher Borg, who got his pre- 1iminary training with the East Ends, is now in the backstop department of the Lynn club of the New England league. Borg enlisted with the Jer- sey City club of the International league during the training season and stuck with that outfit until a short time ago, when he was let go to Lynn. He had been playing under the name of Egan.
 Bernie" Coyle, the former star in- fielder for the Independents, has been signed up by the Central Islip club, fast free lance organization of Staten Island. Coyle was given try out by Hartford and while he made good the playing of Grieve secured permanent job for the man with the weepy name.
