RUM0R BUILDERS ARE
BUSY In RICHMOND

Richmond, Va, March ls.-Since
no one knows anything positive
about baseball In this territory.
there 10 much chance for the rumor
builders and these busy people al
ready have the Virginia League
revived and Richmond taking a
franchise in 1t. There Is this much
truth in the reports-President W.
B. Bradley. Of the defunct Class c
circuit, has been on q still hunt
around the cities that would be
available for franchises seeing how
their pulses respond to his touch.
Some OF the club organizations
that were represented in the Vir-
ginia League last season have sent
out contracts to players they claim.
though II already has been ruled
theiH reservation rights have lapsed.
The Richmond International club
organization also sent out contracts
to several of the players 1t desired
to hold claim to, with the idea of
disposing Of them and perhaps get
ting something out of the wreck.
Ed Barrow. now manager of the
Boston Red Sox, was kind enough
to take Hack Eibel on the local
clubs hands. OF course. Barrow is
not to blame, but still We can't for
get that his representations induced
Richmond to take the plunge into
Class AA ball. which has cost the
local hackers many thousands in the
past three years.
Now the International dream has
collapsed and Richmond must turn
its face toward Class c ball again.
but whether that brand, as played
in the Virginia League, would be
endured here after the fans have
been educated to Class AA is a
question.
