BRINGING UP RICHMOND NOT TO BE DROPPED FROM CENTRAL 5 President of League Says z Does Not Know if League I Will Start, However. Harry W. Stahlhefer, president of the Central league, In a letter to Elmer Eggemeyer, denlea that Richmond will not bare an opportunity to play, this year, In the Central league "If the league starts at all.' Stahlhefer wrote, T desire to aay that there Is not a word of truth In the Article In regards to the Central league attempting to form a circuit and leaving the Richmond club out "I do not know at this time If the Central league will start or not but if it does attempt to start, the cities that finished the season of 1917 will be given the first opportunity to form the circuit." Furthermore, Stahlhefer said that as long as he was president of the Central league, he "would see that the rights of the club owners were protected so long as the club owners live up to the constitution and by-laws of the league." -Set 'Em Up On , The Other Alley LEAGUE STANDING W.

A storm of Indignation is gathering that will soon cast Its fury upon the world of baseball, Is the opinion of accurate observers, who declare that the commercial side of baseball has . been given a most undue prominence. And the result will be the storm mentioned, they say, as well as lots of other trouble, If anyone should ask you. Has the fan noticed the reckless way In which Fraree and Weeghman, two prominent club owners, have been throwing their nickels about in the purchase of players lately? Has he considered the moral effect of this? Well. One moral effect is that every other club owner in the big league is feeling real peeved-like at both the above mentioned magnates. Such goings-on is a breach of ethics In the

minds of the other club owners. Should there be a meeting of club owners just now Weeghman and Frazee would be given many nasty looks. This isn't the only troublesome phase of the ' matter, however. For some while the public as well as the players and owners have been in a way of giving the game's business end more attention than is wholesome. Fans have been pleased to read about what grand sums the local club owner plans to squander in his determination to land a pennant winner and few club owners have been timid about telling the sums. If a player or a battery is advertised with the price mark on prominent display the fans flock out to look them over.

become so current In baseball talk that few have considered the real danger of them. At different times tbere has been talk about suppressing the box-office end of our national pastime and of giving the mere sport of it more consideration. Baseball is undoubtedly a business to those - who are occupied with this end of it, but why obtrude it

upon the fan? With the kind help of one and all perhaps something can be done to help us forget the money part. If anything is to be accomplished in this direction it will need the fans' support. If the fans can manage to be more impressed hereafter with the player's skill than with his price and wage the game will be greatly benefited. PRODUCE MARKET CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 15.

Jo Long Letty," the attraction at the Washington theatre Monday night drew a large crowd and standing room was taken. The theatre-goers were forced to stand iu the cold with the snow blowing in their faces before gaining entrance. A rush for the entrance was made by persons who had seats In the gallery while 2ie others were compelled to wait unt!) the jam was over. It was 8:45 before many persons were in- theSr seats. The musical numbers were very pretty. The orchestra with the exception of Fre4 K. Hicks, violinist, was with the company. Everybody seemed to enjoy the performance as attested by the applause. MURRAY Delate the tie-up In trafflo on the railroads, the Murray theatre was fortunate In receiving for Tuesday's show both their vaudeville acts and the feature picture, Louise Glaum in "Idolaters." Sol Berns billed as the "train announcer," has a lot of new Jokes thai are new and funny. His rendition of "11 You Fight for Your Country as You Do at Home" is good and brings forth generous applause. Doyle and Elaine, a pair of "Daffydlll Girls" with the Jlngly feet sing and dance their way into immediate favor. Both are good dancers and their "musical number" is a knockout." Louise Glaum in "Idolators" con eludes the program.
