Virginia Capital Likely to
Gain International League
Berth What It Means.
Interesting Meeting Also Held
Several Speeches Heard
Three New Members.
President J. O, Boatwrlght will go to
Norfolk soon to attend a meeting of
the A'lrglnia Baseball league .In that
city at which the purchasers of the
franchise will make known their aC'
tion on the option given them on the
territory of Richmond. Va., says the
Danville Register. . This paper ex
plains: The league has given the pur.
chasers of the Baltimore franchise,
nearly all of whom are Richmond
men,' an option on Richmond territori
al J1000, with which sum they will be
created on the purchase price of $13,
500 fixed by the Virginia organization
upon Its rights and franchise In that
city. It is a foregone conclusion that
the price will be paid and that Rlch-j
mond thereafter be eliminated from
the Virginia league and incorporated
in the International league, a Class AA
organization, second only to the Na
tional and American leagues. This
will mean that no other legalized base
ball organization may operate In that
territory.
With the retirement of Richmond,
the largest city and best profit-earning
one in the Virginia league clrcut, the
future of that organization, which was
originally formed In 1905, will be
come uncertain. It Is not yet positive
ly known that the league will under
take to continue. With only Peters
burg, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport
News and Suffolk Included, It will be
necessary to find a sixth city or town.
The league will therefore become
practically a, tidewater circuit, com
pact and with travel expenses reduced
to a minimum. It is understood that
two or more places have made appli
cation for the vacancy, and If it be
deemed feasible to attempt to main
tain the league at all, one of these ap
plicants will be voted in. Elizabeth
City, N. C Hampton and Fredericks
burg. Va., are probably under consid
eration, though the names of the ap
nlicants for the sixth franchise are
not divulged. It is possible that Roan
oke or Lynchburg may be among ths
applicants, but it is not likely that
either of these cities would be seriously
considered, since they would be too
isolated from the other five teams.
Meanwhile the league will have a
net sum of $12,500 with which to
weather the financial season. With a
low salary limit and reduced travel
expense, however, it Is believed that
the organization can be made to pay
expenses and possibly a little profit to
its promoters.
Danville, Lynchburg and Roanoke
appear to be on the outside looking
in and are liable to- remain In -that
attitude for several years or until the
experiment of higher class baseball for
Richmond has been made.
One of the most enjoyable meetings
tor many months was held Thursday
by the members of the Ashevllle Re
tail Merchants' association in their
rooms on Broadway. Following the
usual business meeting, when several
matters of Importance were taken up,
an enjoyable spread was served and,
while gathered around the banquet
board, the members heard several
very Interesting talks. j
One of the principal speakers of
the evening was H. 8. Shelton of
Dayton, who explained In detail the
methods used by the merchants of
that city In the co-operative credit
work. Mr. Bhelton Is president of the
merchants' association of Dayton and
is thoroughly familiar with the wrk
that Is done in that elty.
Following this talk. L. B. Rogers
of the local association made a short
talk In which he explained to the
members the importance of each of
them working for the adoption of the
commission form of government of
this city, declaring that it had been
successful In other cities and the
merchants of this city should see that
their city had the best form of local
government possible.
Another speaker of the evening was
H. Hughes of Danville, Va,, who for
many years was In the wholesale
business In that city. He expressed
his pleasure at being in Ashevllle and
stated that he Is thinking of locating
here. A vote of thanks was extended
to J. T. James, agent for the South
ern Express company, for the im
provement In the local service during
the past few weeks.
The report of the secretary showed
that the association had grown from
83 members In November 1913 to
128. Three new members were added
last night: Zlndel's bakery. Eugene
Carland and the Shaw Motor com
pany.

A Large and Representative
Gathering of Citizens Hold
Meeting to That End.
A large and representative gather
Ing of the residents of the Orace sec
tion was held Thursday afternoon at
the Johnson, store for the purpose of
taking some definite steps towards
having the road that transversa that
section Improved. The meeting was
presided over by Captain W. T. Wea
ver. and a committee composed of C.
T. Rawls. Robert Greenwood and J
M. Wcstall was appointed to appear
before the next meeting of the board
of county commissioners and present a
formal request that the road be Im
proved from the city limits to a point
beyond Grace where the roads fork.
It was agreed at the meeting that
the property holders In that section
would pay one-fourth of the cost of
Improving the road which wilt be
about S3, 000. A number of subscrlp
tlons were taken to the fund yesterday
afternoon.
The meeting was enthusiastic and
representative and It is believed that
the request which will be presented to
the board will be carried out by th
commissioners, as the road Is one of
the most Important In the county and
Is largely used.
