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 Imitated were subjects discussed from every possible viewpoint. After the meet ing was over Lowry Arnold, who repre sented Atlanta at the conference, talked freely about the Importance of things ac complished. lie anld that It • was made clr r lo every mu linger that he la allowed 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.

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, but hero Is wltat It says: ATLANTA. All. It. U. 1*0. A. Crosier. If 3 0 l 2 o Winter*, rf 4 o l 2 a H.

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,. and that with Lleblutrdt In the tax.

Very few nlk(takers as young and as .’Inexperienced . ss Charley Babb have done ns well as he has and he deserves o world of credit.

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.
