VIRGINIA LEAGUERS
DEMAND MUCH MONEY
Want $4,000 to Allow Rich
mond to Pass Up Circuit and
Obtain Bigger Outfit.
HOWARD SHANKS

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Prcsidcnt Ed
ward G.. Barrow, OF the International
League, did not seem bit worried yes
terday at the action of tho Virginia
League on Tuesday in ignoring the
call for a special meeting to consider
the transfer of the Baltimore club to
Richmond. When the invasion by the
international into Richmond was dis
cussed here at the meeting a few weeks
ago. 1t was practically decided to re-
emburse the Virginia League for the
surrender OF the Richmond territory by
tho payment of 5000
1t is now stated that the Virginia
League win not consent to the transfer
Of Baltimore TO Richmond. unless It
receives $4,000. This is considered an
exorbitant price by the international
League, and it Is very likely that it will
refuse to pay it The matter will DO
put up to the national commission for
adjustment.
Tho international League meeting has
been called for January 10 in this. city,
when each OF the eight clubs will be
asked to deposit $4,000. which will be
used as a war fund against the Federal
League. The Virginia League has. de-
cided to assemble a. few days before
this meeting and make its demand Eor
$4,000 on the International League.

ARMY ELEVEN MAY
LOSE CHARLES DAILY
Coach and Harry TuthiII May
Be Away From Point Next
Fall for Football.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-west Point is
apt to be seriously handicapped II, as
now seems likely, Lieut. Charles Daily,
Lieut.. Tom Hammond and Trainer Har-
r. Tuthill are all lost from the staff OF
athletic counselors
DAILY. who is largely responsible for
the success of the Army football cam
paign in the past two seasons, is now
stationed in the West, but is slated for
duty in the Philippines.
Lieut.. Tom Hammond is one of the
three best end coaches in the country
and man who has been connected with
tne coaching OF army athletics for a
considerable number of seasons.
Harry Tuth!ll. who has been serving
at the point during the fall season and
has proved the only man capable of
keeping the cadet football players OF
the incapacitated list, is said TO be
negotiating for a position at another
university.
The first two misfortunes can ONLY be
ayerted by cutting through some Of the
Washington red tape, but the third can
probably he avoided through Increasing
IuthilIs income. He has certainly
proved OF great value at West Point.

the first time this season, and put the
necessary ginger in the Bull Dog Of

Yale scored eight, totaling its score to-

personal fouls sending them to the side
