MAGIC CITY FEARS

Public Meeting Called to Raise
Subscriptions-Want More
People Interested.

Roanoke. Va, January b.--Wiu Ron-
note have u team in the Virginia
League of professional baseball teams
in 1914? This Is the question that Is
agitatinG fans from ono end of the
city to tho other and tho answer likoly
may be heard Thursday evening when
volunteer committee formed at a
meeting several weeks ago meots at
the call of President IL. c. Elliott to
report on sentiment in tho matter.
1t was not generally known at the
timo tho meeting wnS held what tho
real situation was. There were state
ments from Interested persons that the
meeting was for tho purpose OF af-
fecting a organization along popu-
lar lines. but there was no strong inu-
nation that there were doubts that
such reoI ganization could be effected.
With the published announcement
that Buck Pressly Will go to the Nor
folk club Az manager fans began to
sit up and take notice and inquiry to-
day developed the flat-footed assertion
that unless Roanoke Ia prepared to
lend material support to u club to a
greater extent than she has done In
tho past few seasons tho Tiger fran
chise may go elsewhere.
There Is not man. woman or child
who knows tho great old game, who
would not regard the loss of tho Roa-
noke franchise as clamity. Yet
high officials OF tho Roanoke as
ISOLATION are authority for the
statement that those who have financed
the team in yenrB past have reached
the end OF tehir disposition to stand
financial losses OF appreciable scope
year after year.
At tho Chamber Of Commerce. meet
Ing number of persons interested In
baseball volunteered to feel the pulse
OF the Roanoke public in the matter
of baseball, and report results at the
call OF President Elliott. This meet
ing, rs has been stated. Will be called
for s o'clock Thursday evening at the
Chamber OF Commerce. On the reports
from members of the committee. likely
will depend the future of baseball In

MRS. LA MASSENA
GETS JUDGMENT
Mrs. Nichols, Former Society
Leader, Does Not Appear
to Defend Case.

Wilmington. ~ c., January 5.---,rhc
criminal actions in this county against
Mrs. Elizabeth Van e. Nichols. a so
clety leader OF Wilmington, who lost
her own money in spcculations and also
much belonging TO her friend. Mrs.
Helen L. p. La Massena, OF Philadel-
phia. it was charged, passed off the
j'docket OF tho Superior Court hero to-
day under mol pros, but the civil ac-
/ tion In which Mrs La Masscna claimed
that Mrs. Nichols owed her almost
$4,000. was tried and Judgment given
, the plaintiff. who was here to testify.
, Tho defense did not fight the case.
Mrs. Nichols. a little over a year ago,
was one of the leaders of Wilmington
society. and gave brilliant social func-
! lions Then the crash came, and Mrs.
Nichols was said to have become in
sane. She was removed to 81 sana-
torium, presumably in Virginia, and
then Mrs. La Massena, who had visited
| Mrs. Nichols here, appeared or the
scene and claimed that Mrs. Nichols
had swindled her out OF thousands.
The grand jury returned three in
dictments for ENLIGHTENMENT against
Mrs. Nichols, but in the meantime she
disappeared from the sanatorium and
could not be found. Mrs. La Massena
had q woman arrested In New York
supposed to DO the accused. but 1t
turned out to be case OF mistaken
! identity. The officers were bsfiied
and have been unable to find trace OF
the former society leader, who. it is
said, Is now in Europe. The mol pros
Of tho case followed to-day. but the
matter can BIO reopened ut any time
| desired.
