 of Piloting Worcester

Worcester, March 8-If H.sT Brewer, owner of the Worcester base ball club, can meet the demands of Danny Murphy, the former Athletic star, he will accept the job of manager lining up a team for the coming sea- son.. A close friend of Murphy's, who stopped over in Norwich, Conn, last player and was informed that he manager providing he was paid his price.
 The other three candidates mention ed for the managers job are all live wires, but none is being considered as strongly as Murphy. Joe Yeager, who starred at third base for the Montreal Internationals, is a hustler. He is after a bench job as his playing days are over. Jack Coffey would like to land a playing managers job. He piloted the Denver team to a pennant in the western Class A League two seasons ago, and was one of the stars in hit ting in the circuit. He plays short stop. Matty Mcintyre, who has an appli- cation in for the local job, is well known to the Worcester fans. He was one of the leading fly stabbers in the American League a few seasons ago while performing with Detroit, and later starred with the Providence In ternationa1 League team. He is a hard hitter and a heady ball player Like Coffey, he is also anxious to land a. playing managers position.

BASEBALL IN
 OLD VIRGINIA

Although the present Virginia State League is only ten years old, it by no means represents the pioneer ef- fort to establish professional base ball in the Old Dominion. To-day is the tWenty-second anniversary of the organization of the original Vir- ginia League, which was effected at a meeting of the representatives of six cities held in Richmond on March 8, 1894. Since then organized base ball in Virginia, has undergone many vicissitddes. The loss of Richmond, which was taken into the Interna- a severe blow to the Virginia cir Mount, was taken into the Virginia family to replace recreant Richmond, and the guest was so lacking in ap- preciation of the laws of hospitality as to cop the pennant and carry it off to an alien state. Since the close of last season there have been many dubious reports about the future of the Virginia League, but the prospects are now good for g. successful sea- son. Hopewel, the new manufalc- turing town which has sprung up since the war, has been awarded the franchise formerly held by Peters by the league during the latter part of the 1915 season. Rocky Mount will be retained in the circuit, but the Virginia clubs hope to teach the stranger how to behave in company Now that Richmond is in the In teFnationaI League the Old Domin- lon has assumed a more important place on the baseball map than it has ever held heretofore.
