the reference to the request being dis
missed because the condition com
planned of does not and cannot exist,
followed Immediately by the statement
that the 1917 contracts contain a new
clause rectIfyinR the very injustice Of
which the fraternity complained II
the conditions complained OF have
been removed, as stated. however. the
method of reasoning is immateriaI.
The dismissal OF the requests that
referred to conditions under the juris-

broadly a semi-legal technicality. 1t

National Commission on the part of
the fraternity from the resolutions of

AMATEUR BASEBALL IS
NOW UNDER ONE HEAD
Agreement Drawn Up BY Federation
Few Days Ago is Ratified BY
Members OF Commission.
BOTH BODIES WE'LL PLEASED.
Arthur Van Buren, Is Elected Vice
President of Organization, While
X. f. Sutton Becomes Secretary of
Commission.

In the future amateur baseball in
this city will be under the complete
control of the Amateur Baseball Com
mission of Richmond, an agreement to
this effect having been signed last
night by President II. r. Fuller, of the
commission, and Dr. Charles M.
Hazen, president of the Richmond
Amateur Athletic Federation. The
agreement was drawn up a few days
ago by the executive committee of the
federation and was ratified by men,
bers OF the commission at a meeting
held last night in Murphy's Hotel.
Arthur Van Buren, and r. F. Sutton.
formerly of the federation. were
elected vice. president and secretary.
respectively. of the commission. Mr..
Van Buren, succeeds E, r. Fuller, who
was recently elected president of the
organization, while Mr.. Sutton takes
the place of John r. Hooper, Jr.,
who rendered his resignation.
AS result OF the signing OF the
agreement last night the commission
will control organized amateur base
ball in Richmond. as was the case be-
fore the formation of the Richmond
Amateur Athletic Federation. The
last named body will broaden the
scope of its endeavors along track
and basketba lines. The federation
and commission, while still two separ-
ate bodies, will cooperate In making
Richmond one of the athletic centers
OF the South.
The consolidation of the commits
sion and the baseball leagues of the
federation has been under discussion
for the past four months, and the
two bodies got together even better
than was anticipated. Both believe
that 1t is for the best interests of the
sport in Richmond, and they ex-
perienced practically no trouble in
getting together on the subject This
is one of the best things for amateur
baseball that has happened here in
some time, and all parties concerned
seem very we'll pleased with the out
come.
Players Well Pleased
Baseball players who have been
under the protection OF the federation
for the last two years have expressed
themselves as being very we'll pleased
over being rendered an opportunity to
compete for intercity honors. There
are many good FASTENERS in the fede-
ration ranks and they will doubtless

COMMITTEE MAY GRANT
/ BALL CLUBS REQUEST
Richmond May Lose Baseball Franchise Unless Moore Street
Is Closed, Permitting Baseball Park To Be Built In
West End-Stockholders Will Meet Tuesday

that the baseball park Will he big
help to this section of the city. Ii
has been demonstrated in all of the
larger cities in the country that base
ball parks serve TO enhance the value
OF property rather than cause ii to
decrease.
Unless the Richmond stockholders
succeed in getting this piece of prop
erty for the baseball park. there is a
strong probability of Richmond being
without international League baseball
this year. II has been practically set
tied by the stockholders that unless
members OF their own company own
the park there will be no Class "A
baseball They have about made up
their mind that they will not permit
the club to play in a park owned by
another company or outside individ-
uals
The men who are trying TO pur-
chase this plot OF ground on which TO
build a baseball park are those who
have been shouldering most of the
burdens and who have practically kept
Richmond in the international
League They have worked hard to
give Richmond good baseball, but I'M
less they receive some cooperation
they cannot be expected to continue
shouldering the burden. Moore Street
can he closed without anyone being
hurt. and unless this is done Rich
mond may be without International
League baseball.

of the best players on the bask ct ball
