asement on the part of Billy Smith.
Injuries, sickness the recall of ARA
gon and general misfortune was re-
sponsible in a. large measure of the Vir-
ginians' failure to make as formidable
a showing as was anticipated. Those
who have followed the club this sea-
son have taken all Of these things into
consideration. Owners of the Rich
mond club and members of the Rotary
and Advertisers Clubs also have full
realization OF this fact and that is
why they have decided to arrange for

enough in the afternoon to permit
their employees TO attend the game or
else allow as many to get off as de-
sire. There Is strong probability of
some OF the Rotarians pulling some of
their comedy stunts. while Billy may
decide to send himself in to pinch hit
for sons one at a crucial moment
probably with the score tied and the
bases loaded. Billy may also decide
to make another brief speech. His
recent oratorical outburst took the
fans completely. by surprise and it
evoked thunderous applause.

the last time. but he became SO ex-
cited on the coaching lines that he
forgot what he wanted to say, He
had to think of something else. but
it was all right and made q big hit
with the fans.
There will be numerous other things
to please the fans aside from a good
