INTERNATIONAL ACTION
BESPEAKS OF TRICKERY
Magnates in New York Turned Out Clubs They Did Not Want
and Then Reorganized Without Inviting Richmond Into New
Circuit-Loca Franchise is Thrown Winds Although Di
rectors Wanted to Play

From all reports OF the Interna-
tional league meeting in New York,
1t appears that Richmond was de-
liberately thrown down.
IL seems that there was O. scheme
to put Richmond out of the league.
ana this plan was engineered through
with q certain nicely.
At the meeting in New York the
Richmond representative tried vain
ly to get the magnates to vote for a
continuance Of the league. Not only
was he interested in the games for
the interest of it's recreation side, but
he was DESTROYS TO protect the inter-
ests of the 600 stockholders In the
club.
To prove that ne was sincere and
that Richmond was not hacker. he
offered the following resolution:
Whereas, it liz the intent and pur-
pose of this league internationally to
sndeavor to suspend or disband con-
trary TO good Judgment and Sportsman
ship, and whereas II is the desire and
determination OF the Richmond club
that the International league, rs at
present constituted, continue TO OPP
crate as heretofore:
Therefore. be 1t resolved that the
cities now composing the league be-
gin at once organizing their respec-
intent of opening our season on or
about May !. 1918"
This resolution was not even seq
onded by the nlagnates. Instead, they
Immediately voted upon "a discontinu-
ance.
The very clubs that were so violent
" strong for the end of the league
were those who Immediately met and
voted for the organization Of "a new
league. and the clubs that they aid
not want were not invited TO join the
new circuit.
This looks bad for the International
league and tastes OF things that are
hurtful TO baseball
The Richmond representative Was
ever alert to continue the old league
and protect tho Richmond franchise.
A very fine insight into the Inter
national leagues actions is given by
lack Woodail. sporting writer Of
this city:

Richmond Ia not included In the new

directors of the club gave the fans
fair chance. and when there was not
an equal reception. they said the end
OF the trail had been reached.
II there had been a hearty awaken

Tuesday night. 1t Ia most probable that
Richmond's representative would have
applied for a franchise in the new
league. and Richmond would be still
represented in the club.
There were a few loyal fans who
responded. though. and they deserve
