E1ICHMD OFFERED CENTRAL LEAGUE BERTH; LOCAL PROMOTERS MAY ORGANIZE COMPANY

Twenty-five Richmond business and professional men met at noon today at the Commercial club rooms with E. W. Dickerson of Grand Rapids, president of the Central Baseball league, and considered a proposal made by Mr. Dickerson to place a Central league baseball club in this city. President Dickerson stated that the league would transfer the Terre Haute franchise to Richmond providing a stogk company was organized to take over the franchise. Favorable Opinion la Held. At the conclusion of the meeting the men who had attended it conferred and were of the unanimous opinion that the opportunity presented of placing Richmond in one of the fastest and most substantial minor leagues in the country should not be overlooked. Tomorrow a committee of ten business men will hold another meeting at which time a definite decision will be reached as to the formation of a stock company with a capital stock of $10,000. Rated at Class A League. Providing Richmond was admitted to the Central League it would be the smallest city in that circuit, which now comprises Dayton and Springfield, in Ohio, Evansville, Ft. Wayne and South Bend, in Indiana, and Grand Rapids and Muskegon, In Michigan. The or ganization is rated by the National Association of Professional Baseball clubs as a class C league. A decisiou as to the formation of a itock company to take over the league 'ranchise- must be reached before March 1 and if the committee which ueets tomorrow decides on the formation of such a company a campaign for

the sale of stock will be started Immediately. Athletic park, it Is presumed, would be secured for the club and extensive improvements provided to bring the plant up to league requirements. A sale of season tickets at moderate prices would be undertaken. Terre Haute Proves Failure. Terre Haute has proved a failure from a baseball viewpoint and President Dickerson states that the club owners are desirous of securing Richmond for the circuit because of its ideal location in connection with the other cities of the circuit. Transpor

tation expenses could ' be greatly reduced with Richmond instead of Terre Haute as one of the eight cities. In the event a company cannot be organized here to take over the club the franchise will be awarded to Lima, O., where the board of trade is putting forth an effort to secure a Central league club for that city. Richmond business men have been impressed with the plan of providing the city with league baseball because it will provide clean, high-class sport for Richmond people, will keep the fans at home, bring many people to the city to attend the games, and give the city excellent advertising.
