NO MORE BASEBALL IF
Street IS LEFT Open
Lee Ball Park Will Require the Clos
ing of Moore Street in Order to
Provide Enough Ground.
PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST
Alvin NJ. Smith Claims That Street
Space Is Absolutely Necessary II
Fans Are to Be Provided With Be-
loved Sport

Richmond will have to do without
baseball this next summer unless the
Committee on Streets acts favorably on
a request made to them BY the local
authorities of the International
League, according to opinions ex-
pressed yesterday by Alvin M. Smith
and others. The committee is asked
to close a section of Moore Street
which runs alongside the proposed Lee
Ball Park in order that the park space
may be increased to sufficient area
The Streets Committee, In company
with Alvin NJ. Smith. b. w. Wilson
and others, of the Richmond Exhibi-
ton Company. made an inspection yes
terday morning of the Lee Park neigh
borhood and the situation at Moore
Street. The baseball authorities ask
that Moore Street be closed where 1t
parallels the park property, and that
the street space be turned into the
ball grounds. In return for this ia
yor the park owners will give the
city forty feet of land beside the
street. which they can add to an al
ley parallel to that and make a sixty
foot street. The only difference from
the present location of the street will
be that 1t will not be straight, but

park, run around the end of the base
ball area, and turning back at the
other side of the exhibition grounds,
resume its former location.
The section of the city in which
the park is located is not thickly
settled, and 1t is thought by Mr..
Smith and his associates that the
opening OF the baseball grounds there
will be OF great benefit to that neigh
borhood. Property owners in that 10
cality appeared yesterday before the
committee and protested against the
proposed change OF street location,
declaring that their lots there would
be greatly damaged in value. But this
claim was denied by the exhibition
representatives. who in
sisted that in case the park plans are
carried through property in that sec
ton will be greatly advanced in valua-
ton.
Mr., Smith intimated yesterday that
this park was the local clubs last
chance for playing ground. and that
the closing OF Moore Street was alb
solutely essential 10 the development
of the park. In spite of the protest
made against the request, 1t Is
thought that the Streets Committee
will grant 1t. and that the Inter-
national League schedule this sum-
mer will not be interfered with.

another bid for baseball. the prevail

The presence of Hopewell in the Vtr-

league, and the constant recurrence of
such meetings, and finally. the drop

OF Norfolk was the last straw. An

Granting this, it is pointed out, 1t
would seem that the best thing that

Newport News. Portsm outh, Peters

pected to develop trouble, and the
opinion Is generally voiced that with
a change of ownership at Norfolk. a
club in that city will draw finely.
