MANAGERS IN
VIRGINIA FOR A
CONSULT LTATl0N
Far from Settled Fact That Vir.
ginia Will Retain Franchise
In Northern League.

Whether or not Virginia will have
league baseball during 1916 Is still
ar from settled. One thing is cer-
ain, however, and that is that this
city will not be represented in the
Northern this year unless more inter-
est is manifested in baseball than has
been evident up to this time.
There has been a fair response from
The fans to the plan of selling suffi-
cient season tickets to guarantee the
support of the club, but it is not suffi-
cient to assure the proper financial
backing from the start. Baseball last
year cost the owners Of the Virginia
team some money and during the sea-
son of 1918 they lost heavily. They
frankly state that they do not pro-
pose to finance the team this year un.
less there is a better prospect for pat
ronage than at present.
Manager Somers of the Superior
team, Manager Harry Blume of the
Duluth team and owners Finch and
Coates of the Virginia team are in
consultation today over the outlook
for baseball in Virginia. President
Burmeister of the Northern League
vas expected to attend the conference
but wired this morning that he would
be unable to be present. Burmeister is
insisting that Virginia show that il
will properly support team and if II
is unable to do so is in favor Of trans.
ferring the franchise to some Other
point.
Local fans do not propose to SET
the Virginia franchise leave this city
if it is possible to have it remain here
and there will be renewed efforts al
once to pledge support to the team

THE HIGH HAND" AT
SUPERIOR THEATER

For Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday OF this coming week the
Superior Theater will present The
High Hand" from the novel A by
jacques Futrelle. an inspiring
romance of love, politics, capital and
labor.
The star of this picture IS the popu-
lar Carlyle Blackwell. This is said
to be the best of jacques Futrelle's
many books. 1t will be remembered
by many that he was one of the vic
Tins of the Titanic disaster. giving up
his life to save others. He served
for a time on the staff of one of the
Richmond dailies.
This picture should prove a big
success for the three days that 1t will
be shown at the Superior.
On Thursday. Friday and Saturday
Henri Bernstein's greatest play. The
Thief" will be shown, featuring
Dorothy Donnelly. the creator of
Madame X" This play was pro-
duced by Daniel Frohman at the
Lyceum Theater, New York.
The plot may be told in a few
words. The heroine. young woman
of weak character. but with an infinite
capacity for love. has conferred her
affections upon man of social posi-
ton. Without beauty or wealth she
has no means of attracting his atten-
ton and so In order to make herself
desirable In his eyes. she steals large
sums of money from her friends with
which she buys beautiful clothing.
Her populations are discovered and
attributed to you2g man who, know
ing the truth, remains silent to shield
her.
That very love, however. which at
FIRST led her astray has ennobled and
strengthened her character and In the
VI nderfully dramatic climax she con-
fesses her guilt. This picture will be
shown three days.
