Richmond Owner
Leads Insurgents
In international

Until Ben w Wilson, the repre-
sentative of the Richmond club, re-
turns from the international league
meeting. little can he learned con-
corning the dotngs of the magnateS.
From the published accounts it looks
as II Jack Dunn, of Baltimore; Ben
w. Wilson, of Richmond, and John
Gammons, of Providence, had
combination as opposed to Newark,
Toronto and Montreal. with Roches-
ter on the fence. Buffalo is out OF
the game at present, the franchise
being held up.
That is the way IL is, according TO
the published reports but there is
The Richmond club can well afford
TO bide it's time. The longer the
league holds back its decision TO go
ahead. or stop, the better 1t will be
for the local owners. The franchise
will improve in value every day az
the season approaches The darkest
hour In past The club owners cas-
not be worse off than they are. The
longer they hold tight and sit in the
boat without rocking II the better or
they will be-
II things look bright enough the
International league will start
II Richmond wants 10 A4ti JUS II hh-
chise there will he better bids for II
later on than now.
As for the Richmond club voting
TO suspend the lea que altogether, II
IN probably apparent to Ben Wilson
that 1t might be better for all hands
In the International to hold over for
a year In the hope that, perhaps, after
all, the war may end In 1918 ana
give baseball better show in 1919.
Jack Dunn must think SO. too. des-
pfte The assertion that Baltimore is
p big league town Anyway. Wilson,
Dunn and Gammons form strong
com bina ton and as Sol Lchenstein OF
Montreal ~ likely to take the same

team will leave for Williamsburg this
afternoon where they will tackle the

The Spiders and Indians have each
played one cham pionship game and

their maximum strength when they
enter the fray tonight They played
six games last week and have had
several days for a rest up, putting
them in excellent physical condition.
