Getting out while the weather was
good members Of the Richmond Base
ball association visited the Athletic
park in a body yesterday to look over
the property and determine what i'm
provements were to be made before
the season opens.
The improvements decided upon
were given to a local man to estimate.
The bleachers ana grandstand were
found to be In bad repair. They will
be gone over thoroughly. The fence
will be repaired in several places al
though It Is not In as bad condition
as was supposed.
Sporting editors of the Palladium

poned until the last of May.
70 Install Showers.
Contrary to expectations the offic-
ials decided to install four showers
two on each side of the club house in
stead of four as was originally intend
ed A cement curbing will be placed
where the edge of the porch is. This
plan will be tried out for the first two
Sundays with players changing their
wearing apparel at the park instead OF
at hotel. If satisfactory the
club house will probably be enlarged
and an addition of two showers on
each side installed.
Instructions were also given to in

ayers OF high class Cincinnati teams
to attend a general get together meet
ing to be held In the Commercial club
rooms the first Sunday in March.
This meeting was first called by Jack
Remington. manager Of the Corners
Vile club, but because of the difficulty
in making connections getting to and
from that city the invitation has been
changed to read. Go to Richmond"
Try to Please Fans.
This is to be in no way connected
with a league proposition but rather
to 60 over the baseball situation
among the teams in this section and
provide high class attractions for the
fan, whom they are trying to please.
In a Cincinnati paper Sunday it was
stated that Ambrose Pullman, the old
New York American twirler and Of
late years first baseman and twirler
for the Wiedemann team of Cincinnati
had been signed by Manager Kenny
to play first. This makes the question
of the occupancy of the first sack more
perplexing as Popkins and Mollencamp
were mentioned for the job. In the
same paper it was stated that Popkins
would soon report to the Dallas, Texas,
club.

who owns the Boston Red Sox, was
confident that the Sox would win the
1915 American League pennant until
the sport writing crowd began to share
the same feeling, and to voice it.
And now I'm afraid that I've been
jinxed." declares the genial Joseph
THE newspaper boys didn't know they
were linking me. but I've got little
feeling that they have. You know
they Internationally jinxed the Giants
In 1914; they linked the Athletics in
1912. and they jinxed a lot of teams by
picking them as sure winners"
May Feel Too Confident.
Lannin is Of the opinion that a feel
ing Of overconfidence may prevail
among the Red Sox, because SO many
sporting persons are picking them to
grab the American league bunting this
summer.
Il think I've got the talent that Is
necessary for a pennant winner" said
Lannin, "and if the boys will go out
and fight all the way. there seems to
be a good chance of their landing on
top. But they must fight. ! don't want
my boys to get the idea that they
have an easy task If they do, the
pennant chances are gone, and so
want to keep my men from becoming
afflicted with r-confidence--a feel
ing that might come to them from
reading all the nice things the news
paper boys have to say about my 1916
team"

RICHMOND PREPARES
FOR STEELE BATTLE

Richmond high school basketball
team will start on the hardest practice
OF the season tonight when the boys
begin preparing for the return game
with Steele high school at Dayton FRI
day night Nohr's boys in the previous
encounter pulled the game out of the
grasp of the Ohio lads in the second
hlf, but do not consider this game easy
by any manner, as reports from Steele
school show that the team has improv-
ed. Another thing to be taken into
consideration is the fact that Rich
mond played the best basketball
against the Steele boys that has been
shown before or since that game.
