VIRGINIA LEAGUE MEETING
MAGNATES TO GATHER IN
NEWPORT NEWS WEDNESDAY
VIII Elect Officers, Award Tcnnnnt and
Discuss Circuit for Coming Seu.on.
Hopc,vcli Seeks PInce.

President W. Il. Bradley, Of the Viz
ginia Baseball League. has called II
meeting Of the league for Wednesday
in the Hotel Warwick at Newport
News. and business Of considerable i'm
that meeting.
one of thu prime reasons for calling
the meeting at this time is to award
the pcnnant 10 Newport News. the vie
torious club last season. However,.
several other matters probably will
come UP at the gathering ri maEnatcs.
Officers for next season viii he elected
at this gathering also.
The principal Of these Will he IL con-
sideration OF the best possible means
OF completing the circuit for the com
ing year. When Ilopcwcll dropped out
Of the league last season ii was ncccs
sary for the organization to. continue
on t,ve-club basis. but this defect wfl!
be rcmedied during the winter.
In fact. owners Of the Hopewell
franchise already are seeking readmit-
lance to the league. They have APP
preached several other club owners
with the announcement they would
like consideration for II place during
the season OF 1917 and are said To have
promised to make amends for the pa Il
and 10 post Al guarantee of good faith
FOR the next year
However, other towns also are seek
ing the franchise that went to waste
last year. and fight is expected to
develop before a final settlement is
made. Both Durham and Raleigh as
we'll as LynchburG have made over
lures already. and il is said each of
these towns will press it's case against
that of Hopcwell.
AL the meeting to be held this week
This matter Will reach only the elc-
g. to
sible for the magnatcs TO make "a
definite settlement of SO important "a
matter in the brief time they will he
at Newport News After Il discussion
Of the varius cities, the entire subject
will he referred 10 the, committee on
the circuit, and will be reported on NJ
a meeting to be held probably in De-
cembcr or January.
II. d. Walker. owner of the Norfolk
club, probably will throw his fran
chise on the hands of the magnates un-
less he is able To disDose of the cub
before the meeting. Mr.. Walker has
been in i'll health for some time, il is
said. and last summer made an effort
to dispose OF his holdings. He was un-
successful at that time. and is under
stood To be cndeavoring TO sell The
franchise now.
The club<has a wcll-euuiuDcd plaut
at Norfolk and n park that is acces-
sible to most of the people there SO
il is thought by other clubowncrs tha.
new Norfolk people probably will take
over the holding. Some difficulty may
arise in the transaction. though. as il
Is claimed the Tars owe Newport News
Petersburg and Rocky Mount $50 each
in guarantees for games played during
the last year. However, the league is
said To hold Norfolk's share of the
Labor Day pool, and this amount pos
sibly may be used to liquidate the al
legged debt.

BUDAPEST. June 27-With memories
of the 1915 weather fresh in mind, and
the freakish weather of the past three

tial failure. the Hungarian agricultural
authorities have decided upon unusual
and radical measures to harvest the 1916
crops in the speediest possible manner
The municipal local authorities through
out the country have been empowered to
reQuisition for harvesting purposes the
services of every man. woman and child
at home. not serving the state in some
indispensable way. at fixed wages Pris-
oners Of war. working In non military
concerns. also have been requisitioned
for the harvesting. several thousand
workmen have been imported from Rus
sian Poland and all the troops in the
interior who can be spared will be fur
loughed for the same purpose.
The ministry of agriculture has ac-
quired all available harvesting machin-
cry for distribution among the peasantry,
and agricultural experts estimate that six
weeks of sunshine. after the long rains.
will result in the production Of a record
breaking crop in Hungary.
