WILL SELECT MANAGER
MONDAY IN NEW YORK
Representatives of Richmond Club Will Attend Meeting To
morrow of International League and incidentally
Close Deal With Pilot For Club.

Richmond is going to have a good
team this year. We have said that
before, and we will continue TO say
1t until the fact has been thoroughly
demonstrated to the public. There
are plenty of good players on the
market at this time, and it's green
backs to black-eye peas that Rich
mond will get good portion of them.
Only yesterday Manager McGraw, the
fighting manager of the New York
Giants, telegraphed President Alvin
ton Company, that he had several
good baseball players that he wanted
to turn over to the Richmond Club,
and the deal for them will be closed
tomorrow. Then Clarke Griffith is
going to send some players here; that
is, providing Billy" Smith is secured
to look after the managing end Of the
local club. 1t is known fact that
Griffith and Smith are close. friends.
deucedly close. don't-y'-know. and
several of the players he can't use
he will send to the virginians. So
there you are. We reiterate, Rich
mond is going to have a good club.
Get Skeeter Players.
Then there will be the Jersey City
Club players, who have been released
Dunn. as a New Years gift. There are
several good players on the Skeeter
reserve list and some OF them can
be used. Johnny Nerbout is one OF
the players. Everybody knows YER
bout--ruddy-face Johnny. He used to
pastime with Richmond, and he be-
came so good that he went to the
International League. In which orga-
nization ne still pastinles. Joe Yea
gers name should not be omitted. Joe
can make more fuss on coaching
line than three ordinary men. and he
can keep 'em alive" as well as
wheels Clymer or Jawn Camel. Joe
would fill In very well as pinch
hitter and utility player.
No, Neal Ball will not be back. He
will continue to serve as a subject OF
King George and play in the far-oT
province of Ontario as member or
the Toronto Maple Leaves.

Never Strong Above Shoulders.

Outfielder Benny Kauff, recently
purchased from Harry Sinclair for the
Giants, has shown evidences OF a re-
fractory nature. He threatens to
hold out for a new contract with the
New York club.
Messrs. Hampstead and McGraw are
willing to make good the terms OF
the contract they entered into with
the alleged Ty Cobb of the outlaws
last spring. Under these circum-
stances it is difficult to see where
KaufY has the slightest kick.
Kauff, however. never did appear
particularly strong above the shout
iers. comments william b. Hanna in
the New York Sun. Three times in
one season he stole an occupied base.
He has been foolish enough 60 permit
a lot of self-appointed managers to
NEEDLE in his affairs. Indeed, there
is a suspicion that his present belch
has been prompted by the hope of a
theatrical engagement on he part of
his staff OF handlers.
The management of the Giants Is
not losing any sleep over Kauf's at
titude. Benny must play at the Polo
Grounds or nowhere. There Is no
other line of business where he can
reach such revenue. With the outlaw
field eliminated. the sooner Mr.. Kauff
decides to settle down and earn his
pay the better off he will be.

RICHMOND TO GET
FAMOUS ATHLETE
Minnesota University Football and
Baseball Player VIII Play
Here

Lof.in Scion, one of the greatest
football players of all time, may
become n member OF the Rich
mond Virginians.
This young man has been talk
ed about, i'm the past three
months, more than any athlete In
the whole country.
On account OF his great athletic
ability and popularity he WAS last
year elected captain of the Min
nesota football team.
After playing several games In
the month of October he was de-
clared ineligible on account OF
having played summer baseball
in Havre, Montana. A number
Of big leagues are now after
Borin Scion TO sign a contract to
play professional ball.
The Brooklyn club OF the Fed
eral League tried hard to get
Scion to sign a contract last fall.
They sent a man 1 800 miles To
sign him up, but at that time
Scion was adverse to playing pro-
fessional ball.
Mike Cantillion. OF the Minneapolis
club of the American Association, il
now making every possible effort t.
have Scion sign a contract to go soutf
with them this spring. Two scouts
from big eastern teams are now after
Scion.
Secretary Ryan, of the local club
who Is personally acquitted with
Scion, however. has the inside tract
on the other clubs and yesterday re
ceived letter from Scion to the effec
that he would come to Richmond !
the management was willing to giv'
him a try-out.
Men who have seen Scion in actor
say he will make as great a baseball
player as he did a football player
Promptly upon receipt of a letter from

and without doubt one of the great
est athletes in the country today.
He is twenty-three years Old

BY ERNEST POLLARD.

Announcement to the effect that
Richmond will retain it's franchise in
the International League was welcome
news to the baseball enthusiasts OF
Richmond. To the members of the
board OF directors of Richmond En-
hibition Company belong the credit
for keeping the club In this city. 1t
was due to their untiring efforts that
the SIS, 900 needed to purchase Jack
Dunn's interests In the local club was
secured. and had II not been for their
activities. this club would have been
transferred back TO Baltimore, the
Skeeter club would have remained In
Jersey City, and the capital OF the
Old Dominion would have been made
to suffer some humiliation,
At one time the gloom that hung
over the local club was thicker than
the fog that hoyers over the Gulf OF
Mexico. but they kept plugging away
| in the face of defeat until their efforts
were finally rewarded with success.
Presid emit Edward G.. Barrow. OF the
| international League, has announced
that the circuit will comprise Rich
mond. Baltimore. Newark. Providence.
Buffalo. Rochester. Toronto and Mon
treal. The Harrisburg franchise has
/ been transferred back to Newark.
while the Jersey City club comes. to
Baltimore. However Manager Dunn
will turn over all of the Skeeter play
ers to the Richmond club.
The International League will open
with Richmond, Baltimore, Newark
and Providence playing at home. The
season will begin April 81. but 1t has
not been denitely settled just which
team Richmond will battle first. How
ever. there is 8 probability of Toronto
coming to Richmond. Montreal going
to Baltimore and Buffalo and Roch-
ester playing in Providence ana New
ark. respectively.
At the annual meeting of the Class
| "A organization tomorrow in New
York city a schedule will be drafted
and plans for the coming year will be
mapped out. There Is much business
to be transacted at this meeting. and
Richmond will have good represen-
tation. Richmonds representatives
will leave Richmond today.
| Just who will be Richmond's man
ager during the 1916 campaign Is not
definitely known at this time. but It
looks as IL Billy" Smith, formerly OF
Atlanta. will land the position. This
matter will be definitely settled at the
meeting Monday. While Smith seems
most likely to be the manager. the
members OF the local board Of direc-
| tors have come to no definite con-
ciusion, and 1t may be that some other
man will be selected while they are
| In New York. The Richmond club

vices for the coming season.
