STEALING RUTHs STUNTS.

The greatest batting stunt of the season in the Piedmont League was credited to Hobart Whitman, centre fielder for Winston-SaIem, in the game against Greensboro. In five times at bat he hit three homers, a two-bagger and single. His. two bagger was the hardest hit of all, but it struck the f1agpole and bounded hack so far he was held at second.

tectivc Association, last night heard
reports from the Railroad Commit.
tee. and expressed its thanks and APP
probation by = great round of APP
plnuse and u rising vote OF thanks.
The committee. through S. T.. Allen
and Clarence D.. Coleman. reported
that decisive steps had been taken
toward improved traffic facilities to
and from Richmond. The committee,
in conjunction with committees rep
~rescnting other organizations, Will
continue its efforts in giving Rich
mond at least an even break with
other cities.
Mr.. Allen stated that every effort
Is being made TO have better con-
nection between Richmond and the
Northern Neck of Virginia. SO that
Richmond newspapers may reach
their destination in reasonable time.
Railroad connections now put the
Richmond Times-Dispatch in touch
with Its subscribers late in the after
noon Of the day Of publication and in
many instances not until the follow
ing day.
Serious Obstacle to Progrcss.
-Inis'. said Mr.. Allen, is a most
serious obstacle in the way OF Rich
monds progress, notsonly because the
papers do not get to"thcir destination
In n reasonable time. but because the

people of the Northern Neck. too. are
the sufferers, ILL not getting their pa

they should. while the merchants
who wish to place their wares be-

state cannot do themselves justice
under the present arrangement.

cises. and that the pageant would

and would show the world the great
advantages of Richmond. better than
anything he had ever dreamed OF.
