Especial to The Richmond virginian.
Baltimore, Md, August 27.-Jack
Dunn, practical owner OF the Balti-
more clubs franchise, who is in Mon
treal with his team. In reply to tel
egram today asking him to confirm
or deny the reported transfer of
Washington's franchise to Baltimore,
made this significant reply; II don't
know nothing"
1t is a we'll known fast that SYRIA
cuse. N. Y, has anxiously awaited an
opportunity to get into big COM
pany." and inasmuch as Baltimore's
franchise in the International league
figured in the Washington transfer.
that franchise will be turned back to
the Barrow circuit by Dunn and
afford the Syracuse fans the oppor-
tunity to crafty their cherished de-
sire.
Official denials to the contrary not
wtthstanding, 1t may be taken as au-
thentic that the deal to transfer the

Toronto. Aug. 27.--Young's air
tight hurting today enabled the vir-
ginians to accomplish the hitherto
impossible task of defeating the Leafs,
the game going to the Southerners
by the score of 3 to l.
Hack Eibel broke the Virginians'
long losing streak by betting out a
home run in the first inning. after
Red McDermott had been nicked in
the ribs. This clout won the first
game the Richmond OUTFIT has an
nexed since leaving their home town.
The slam came after two were out.
The Leafs scored one run in the
third on Truesdale's single and ia
cobson's double, but Young held them
helpless after this frame. The young
ster was touched for only five hits
and his control was much better than
It usually is.
Jack Warhop was hit hard through
out the game. but managed to keep
the bingles scattered UP until the
eighth inning. when Pat McGaffigan
romped in with the final run. The
score:
