State Contest in Baseball.
(Under the direction of the General Athletic Association.)
REGULATIONS.
1914-1915.
I. The contest is open to any secondary school in Virginia whether
public or private.
II. For the purposes of this contest the State of Virginia shall be
divided into five sections as follows:—First Section comprising the
first and second congressional districts; Second Section comprising
the third and fourth congressional districts; Third Section comprising
the fifth and sixth congressional districts; Fourth Section comprising
the seventh and eighth congressional districts; Fifth Section
comprising the ninth and tenth congressional districts. (A list
of the counties in each congressional district will be found following
these regulations.)
III. Any secondary school which shall have defeated prior to
May 2 as many as four other secondary schools located in its section
(see regulation II) and of equal rank and standing, will qualify
to enter the state contest, provided the principal notify the secretary
by May 3 of the desire of his team to enter the said contests.
IV. It is not the purpose of the committee to prohibit the playing
of any games a school may desire. Yet only games with other secondary
schools within the same section will determine eligibility to
the state contest.
V. Each member of a team must be a bona fide regular student
less than 21 years of age, and must have been in regular attendance
at the school he represents for at least sixty days before the game in
which he plays, and shall have made passing grades on a majority of
his subjects in the monthly report issued last before the game.
Furthermore no student, who receives any financial inducement or
concession of any kind to attend a school on account of his athletic
service, may take part in this contest.
VI. The principal of each school entering the contest shall on or
before May 3 send to the secretary a complete record of the games
played with other schools within the same section and also a record
of the individual players therein. Blanks will be furnished for this
purpose.
VII. The committee reserves the right to review the record of all
games and of the individual players. The purpose of this is to encourage
clean athletics and prevent the playing of coaches, teachers,
professionals, etc.
VIII. Not later than May 4 the committee will arrange a schedule
of preliminary games in order to select two teams that shall come to
the University for the final contest.
IX. All transportation expenses of the two teams coming to the
University will be paid by the General Athletic Association and entertainment
will be provided for the players while at the University.
However, if either of the teams including escorts, managers, etc., is
composed of more than eleven persons the transportation expenses
of the additional members must be borne by the school that the team
represents.
