iE EVENING STAR, WASEH ivuak it 28 1080 Richmond After Eastern League Berth : La Barba 2-to-1 Choice Over Taylor OLD DOMINION IrY HAS AIDED MINORS Virginia Capital Was Once Quite Prominent in Base Ball Affairs. - 2 BY JOHN B. FOSTER. A' YEW YORK, November 28.— Y The Eastern League is not 3 lacking in applications for 3 franchises from cities which desire to take the place of those that withdrew in 1930. The recruits are widely scattered. The extension of the circuit would go! to Richmond, Va, if that city| were granted a franchise. It still would be within proper dis- erimination if the old title of Eastern Lesgue were retained. Richmond in other years has been associated with olubs that were in New England. In very early days Richmond was promi- nent in national base ball. When there was little interest in the Far South in base ball Richmond was tuming out great ball players. Now the interest is greater in Georgia and in Alabama than it is in parts of Vir-| ginia, but the fans in Virginia insist that this is because they have not had wt_uunl base ball to patronize. Virginia Lags in Base Ball. It is odd, however, that base ball should lag in Virginia, where once it ‘was strong, and jump over the head of the Old Dominion State from the North to_the extreme South. ‘The Eastern League operated success- with a circuit which did not o Wes than Albany, and found Eastern limit in Providence.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 28.— | Another 2-to-1 shot goes to the post in Madison Square Garden tonight | and those who back their opinions with cold cash are hoping that Fidel La Barba has better luck than recent fdvorites have had in the Garden. La Barba, the former world flyweight champion, meets Bud Taylor, body- punching featherweight from Terre Haute, Ind., in the main go. In recent weeks, Kid Chocolate, Al Singer and Jimmy McLarnin, heavy favorites all, have been beaten at the Garden. La Barba was the cause of one of these upsets, for he whipped Chocolate when the Cuban Negro was 8 3-to-1 choice. Largely because of his showing in that bout, La Barba has been established a well defined cholce tonight against Taylor, but the Middle Westerner is nobody’s Set-up.
