NOTHING VERY IMPORTANT

IMrmlngbnui. Ain.. June 11.-No mlsundcr-

the part of the Southern league managers

testa of the early part of the aoaaon are
not likely to In* repeated.
The meeting of tha dlreetnra here Bator-
day bad iiiuvh to do with bringing nlfout
the conditions that exist today. For sev
eral bourn the salary limit, privileges of
player-managers ami the conditions under
which players under suspension may lie re

every possible viewpoint. After the meet

freely about the Importance of things ac

fourteen men when he does nothing but
manage a team, and tuikea no attempt to
go on the coaching line.
"When a manager plays In the game."
said Mr. Arnold, "half of his salary comes
out of the 12,706 salary allowed the players,
and he fa not allowed to carry bnt thirteen
M I wan well pleased with the outcome of
th tiding and have enjoyed the trip trf
Itlrmlnghnm. Atlanta did not figure lu niiy
of the protests, and therefore I had very
little to my with reference to the home
club. The general rules apply to Atlanta
ps well as all the other teams, and 1 am
sure tlmt the Atlanta Huh will try to live
up to every rule and regulation which has
to do with promoting tha great national
game In tho Month.
"Finances were not dlscuaaed by the <11
rectors. If Nashville Is In financial straits
jt will have no bearing upon the Moutbern
league. The league baa nothing to do
with misunderstandings between a took hold
era."
After the directors concluded I be bnsl
ness, session they witnessed the game tie
tween Mbrcreport and lllrnilngbsm. Al
night thy were entertained at dinner at the
Country Club.
The business transacted l»y the league
directors follows:
Montgomery fined $100 for tampering with
I'ls.ver llolly. when he was under eoutruet
wjtli New Orleans. Appeal taken to leugiie.
Protest of Nashville against fllrmlnghaiu
on eharge that Illrmlugham played Pitcher

Protest because Harry Vnnghnn played In

U. B. Wonnser, tho auditor of the league,

whose deliveries would do credit to a piece
of ordnance, and tbe piny liecame iiiucb
faster. ‘Ilaae stealing.' or running from
one ham* to the next when tbe pitcher was
not looking, tickled the crowd Immensely,
especially If the runner had s 'slide home.'
To the man watching a game of hnaelMtll
for the first time It w*ould seem possessed
of a vast amount of inlhl humor, while nt

Uilrtiilou. One of them* la*the fart that the

(he other, that the fieldsmen never miss If.
The fielding on Saturday was nothing short
of marvelous at times, though hard catches
ore certainly made rather easier hy the
thick padded glove worn Uy fieldsmen ou
their left liiiud. Hut. even allowing for
this, the same degree of aretirncy In stop

If baseball Incomes established III Kngland,
smarter fielding may be seen In time on the

ple think, and It has one great recommendn-
tlou—there la no waiting."
HOOKS THROWN
BY MR. SUGGS
LITTLE QEORQIE PITCHED GOOD
BALL AND WON HI8 GAME
FROM CRACKERS.
MEMPHI8 7. ATLANTA 3
It wasn't so much the licking ss It was
the ti ne x|nn-ted ness of It all that hurt.
If anytHMl.v had said tafure the game that
Atlanta, with ltut»c X.cllar In the box, was
going to get sacrificed hy that bunch from
Memphis, with George Htiggs officiating, a
large, rotund hoot would have liecti emit
ted by. every Atlanta fan. Yet that was
Just whst happened. Hcore, Atlanta 3,
Memphis 7.
The attempt to "call" the gentlemen from
{the city of llluffs resulted fatally. Atlsuta
' figured that Iluhb was holding a busted
flush, a taut seven high. And. couie to find
out. It was a full band, with aces up.
It all happeued In the streuuous seventh.
Things usually do happen In that lulling,
for some reason; but not ntwuys Just as
they did ou Saturday. Then* Is uo use In
going Into details over the sadness. One
thing followed another with n ap«vd which
was appalling, and amidst a hnll of hits,
bases on balls aud errors seven ruus were
tallied.
It was one of those Incomprehensible In-
uliigs, when everything went to the ImU
aud there Is no use lit bowling about It.
Atlanta has agreed front the start that If
she had to lose to any team she would l*e
glad If It could he Memphis—and It sure
was.
The score does not telling much ittaut It,

Of course, It Is iihfortuiintc for Hhrevc-

time we miss one with those Indians It
Is good luck. Gllks' bunch Is a hard -one
to beat.
It rather hurts when you tjdnk of. those
two games Atlanta lost to Memphis, to read
that Nashville l*ent Ike . flhiffers 4 to, 1,.

AFTER TEAM
Special to Tbe Georgian.
Brunswick. On.. June lL-After local fans
had practically closed with the owners of
the Albany baseball team tor tbe purchase
of their franchise lu the Georgia State
League, the final arrangements for perfect
ing the deal were postponed. This was dug
first to the fact thnt the Albany pdople
wanted a little more money tbau the loen!
people were willing to pay, and second, to
the fact that the men here who are put
ting up the capital to back n team received
a telegram late yesterday afternoon from
J. W. Snvaraoe. at Savannah, desiring to
know whst Brunswick would be willing to
offer him for thf Columbus team.
Mr. Hsvarese was called up over the tele
phone, and stated that he would not sell
the Columbus franchise to HroiisWIck, but
if offered sufficient Inducements he would
transfer tbe team to Brunswick, apd- It
would In future ta known as the Bruns
wick team.
No definite decision ns to whnt Is to he
done Is yet known, hut there s*‘eins to ta
no doubt at all thnt either the Albany or
tbe Columbus team will ta transferred to
Brunswick this week.
