Spiders Tackled on

Several Years Ago

For many years the athletic team.

hy the nickname of Spiders" How
this nickname became identified with
them is told in the following article
dug up by the writer from the col
lege Annual OF the year 1897.
During the summer of 80 was or
gani2ed a baseball team composed
of ameteur players. called the Rich

was first applied to Richmond Col

and each member of the team was
made to feel the sting OF the reporters

MAJOR LEAGUES
LOST LARGE SUN
ONLY SEVEN CLUBS BROKE EVEN
OR BETTER DURING LAST
SEASON.

New York, Feb e.--Information leak
ing out from the inside of major league
baseball circles reveals the fact that
only seven of the sixteen big league
aggregations made money.
The seven are Chicago, Boston

ton and Detroit in the American.
This would seem to indicate that
Boston and Chicago are the best
baseball towns In the country.
Boston has long been recognized as
such and the prosperity of the clubs

Although not all of these have been
heavy winners, they have at least
broken even or better. In the National
League the four teams were all in the
race at the end OF the season, which
helped them swell their bank account.
