tho meeting will be Of prime impor-
lance to Richmond. as It's status as a

question.
There Is a possibility. however. that

Jack Dunn. whose claim 10 the Balti.

stacle. has been satisfied by tcnta-

Cincinnati being pTcfunctory one,

a later date In some other city. Re.
ports from New York and Porkville
last night seemed TO indicate this.
II such a move is made. II probably
means that the international League
