BASEBALL FACTIONS
STILL FAR APART:
FANS SEEK PEACE

The amateur league baseball situa.
ton in Richmond remains unchanged.
The attempt made to bring the op-
posing factions of the s. A. L. and
proposed factory circuits together. ap.
parently has met with little success.
While both sides are willing to con-
cede certain points several differences
between the two organizations still
prevent a peaceful settlement of the
trouble.
Club representatives and hackers of
the proposed factory circuit will meet
at the Y. M. c. A. Thursday night.
Friday night at the "Y" the s. A. L.
moguls will get together. Just what
will turn up at these meetings is prob.
lematical as neither organisation has
determined on definite policy.
Hope that the trouble between the
two factions might be smoothed over
and that the amalgamation of the two
factions under the name of the s. A.
L. or Industrial circuits will be forth.
coming is held out by the majority
of local players and fans. The s. A.
L. is a local institution and its old
members hate to see it passed up.
