Petersburg, Va. March 9.-The out
look for an enthusiastic and profitable
season for the Petersburg Virginia
League baseball club is the brightest,
according to followers of the game
here, that was ever known. More IN
terest Is being manifested in the open
ing of the season by larger number
of people than was ever the case be-
fore. Just what is responsible for the
enthusiasm now being manifested, 1t
Is difficult to ascertain, but 1t generally
conceded that there Is more confidence
in the success OF the venture than in
recent years due in q measure to the
large amount of money in circulation
in Petersburg and the vastly increased
population.
The real ginger In the situation
! was injected in large measure
through the association with the
movement of such men as A. A. Slagle.
Jack Nelms, Lewis Kidd and l. G,
Shore who are the officers and execu-
tive committee. Associated with this
quartet are several of the leading
business men of the city. including DR.,
Joseph NJ. Burke, chief surgeon for
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, upon
whom the club will rely largely to dc
scouting for such material as may be
needed to bolster up any weak spots
that may develop on the club. DR.,
Burke is lover of all sports, especial
ly baseball, and in his travels over
several OF the Southern States his
knowledge of the game and good judg-
ment of the ability of players will
undoubtedly place him in position
to be of material benefit to the club
