i"'c' hatonh! League moguls as
scinhlc in New York to-day in annual
session. According to rumors from
that city and printed Yesterday in Bal

me VIII try 10 get his territory IN
baltimore back again.
Here in Richmond we only have the
word OF Dunn that he rs satisfied and
as he has been hunting in the South
and spending the rest of the time n,
his Baltimore home. ii is hard to say
how the New York dopestcrs got hold
OF their information. II is a safe bet
however, that Dunn has no idea OF
going back TO the Monumental CITY
as long as the Feds remain there. AMI
he would show woeful lack OF self
respect II he gave the Baltimore fans
any baseball at all after the raw deal
they handed him. They clearly dem
onstrateh that they did not care hoot
for Jack Dunn and took mighty
good say OF showing him. and his
pocketbook suffered In consequence.
Dunn still controls the Baltimore
territory. as far as organized ball is
concerned, and as lie owns the con-
trolling interest In the Richmond club.
he could move his team back, but only
after reimbursing the local men for
what they put into the organization
here. Richmond paid a mighty big
sum for what 1t sot last year. and
the fact that New England cities laugh
when $4,000 ia mentioned as the
price of n franchise is Il clear demon
stration of what the International
League looks to them.
Seven local athletes have been sus-
pended by the Richmond Amateur Attn
letic Union pending an investigation
into their amateur standing. Connec-
tion with the city Fairgrounds is
said to have committed the high crime
of playing on team with n profess
sional.
IF the Richmond Amateur Athletic
Union is looking for real trouble It
need only bar these men from parti-
cipation in local sporting events upon
such flimsy and ridiculous charges
The public is getting sick of the many
wrangles brought by the Amateur
Athletic Union in Regard to so-called
professionalism. and the election OF
the hair-splitting into local sports will
not be received with equanimity.
Athletics are bound round by too
many rules now, and it is hurting the
sport instead of henefitting 1T. The
definition of n professional is rather
vague, but 10 say that man who
plays on a team with another man who
at one time, but not then, had played
for money is profession, is the
height Of folly. Whether the SUI
pervision Of Fairgrounds conducted
by the city is professionalism is
question which any fair-minded per-
son would answer in the negative.

being particularly favored. 1t will

uSu6T OF MlSJ6r Hearst HAdLlluSLJ
has gone to California.
Also, Fred W. Lawrence, one time
city editor of Mister Hearst's morn
ing paper in Chicago, is on his way
toward the Golden Gate.
But-bOth A. NJ. and F. w. will be
back again. The fact that Andrew
M. has been deposed as publisher for
Mister Hearst does not mean, neces-
sarily, that he no longer will be
publisher in Chicago. AS matter
of fact, Andrew NJ, in connection
with Brother Fred, will start another
paper in Chicago in November.
The new Chicago paper will not be
a daily, but will be published weekly.
The name of the new publication will
be Truth" and it will be gotten out
along the same lines as the London
publication that bears the same
name.
F. w. Lawrence, before leaving for
San Francisco, told of the plans for
the new publication. He said that
Truth positively would not accept
any advertisements of any kind, but
would depend upon its sale at ten
cents a copy for it's revenue. He said
that the best writers obtainable
would be employed and that they ex-
pected to dispose of $4,000 copies on
their first issue, which viii be going
some. But then, what's the harm in
hoping? Clyde Morrison, who got
rid of something like 100000 in an
attempt to publish defunct Morri-
sons Weekly, and Lieut.. Gov O'Hara,
who failed to make a go of the Chi
cagO Magazine, probably could tell
the Lawrence brothers how cold a
public they have to depend upon in
Chicago.
