HALL TAKES FIRST SPIN WORKS OUT IN PREPARATION FOR HI8 RACE THURSDAY WITH WALTHOUR. MEMPHIS PEOPLE EXPECT STARTLING DISCLOSURES By Prlrate Leased Wire. Mmaphla, Tenn., June 6.-A meeting of the Southern League baseball managers for nest Saturday has been railed by Presi dent Kavansngb, at which several clubs may ha called on to ehow wby forfeiture of their franchisee should not tnke place. Expert auditors, representing the league, have been working for aevoral days on tho hooka of tho clubs suspected of violating the salary limit, and atartllog disclosures ara reported aa a result of the probing proceaa. President Kavanaugb says that complete forfeiture of the franchise will be tbs punishment of any club found gnllty. Tho above dispatch arrived Wednesday over the leased wire and represents the feeling of Memphis over the coming meet ing of the Bout hern League, of which meeting nn official notice baa yat reached Manager Smith. From Memphla sources It Is learned that President Kavauangh la worried for fear of a one-sided rare, and he seems rather .In clined to think that Atlanta, aa well aa some other claim, era exceeding the calory limit. W. B. Wormaer. the expert accountant, spent yesterday on Atlanta's Itooks. When ho had finished he stated to Billy ftuilth that they were O. K. Just what he will report to tbo'lfagu, about them time will ML. 5 By tb* time of the coming league meet ing all of the Itooki of Ihe league will .hare undergone examination and Wormaer will bo lo a position to report to President Kavanangh aa to whether or not he hae fonnil'any evidences that any club lias ex ceeded the salary limit. In an Interview with the Memphis Com- merrlal-Appeal recently. Judge Kavanangh said: "I do not know that any manager bus violated faith nr In any manner broken tbe agreement entered Into at last year's meet ing nf tbe league, hut I do know Hint If any one la found guilty by tbe. directors tbe franrblae will lie forfeited to Ihe Irogue tbe constitution, to dlanoae of It as tbs direc tors should see fit."

Bird hit, 0‘llrten died out, Htifctton hit nnd Phillips did likewise. IUrkert then hit fielder’s cholee to Smith nnd Bird died at the plate. Then the Pocket Edition, nlins Cargo, swiped out a single. It scored Strat ton and Phillips and when. In returning the tmll to tbe plate, Stinson threw wild, Kick* a*pf uYiriul I * ert scored. That looked like “laid business,” bat In the fifth Inning the Atlanta batters let fly such a rain of singles, sacrifices ami two- baggers that the grnuml fairly shook with the tramp of their feet, aa they advanced base after base until five of them bad scored. *■. When the dust settled It was noticed that a look of sadness had appeared on the classic features of Charles Frank and that IJIlly Smith had acquired.another ’'chaw” of toluicco, which he Was masticating cheerfully. For they both saw the fluish from thore. Neither side scored after their first effort along that line, hut the game was a whistler to the last tap of the gong. Both teams were right up on tbe tip ot their toes and playing for nil there was In them. Baxter Sparks, the Midget Myth, twirled ONE DAY'S CROP OP DOPE The Tennessee tenuis ehnmplonshlp prom ises to lie a well attended cveut. All of the players from New Orleans who are com- lug to play In the Houthern championship will go to Nsshrllle first nnd practically every man from Atlanta who has auy chance for th# championship will go there to get In shape for th# hlg event. It Is thought here that the winner of the Teu- nessee championship will hive a very good chance for flrat honor* here. Ten straight victories, a majority of them against (he strongest teams In tb# league. Is "some stunts,” nil right. Out of the Inst sixteen games Atlanta has won fourteen. Which Is likewise perform ing a few feats. . Tbe tesiu la eertslnly In good running order now. If It will only stay so It look* as though an Eastern dab—we refrain through modesty from mehtlonlng any names—might win the pennant for tbe first time slnco the days of hlg dolugs up la Nashville.
