The meeting of the dlreetora here Hatur- day hod much to do with bringing altout the condition* that exl*t today. For aev era I hour* the aalnry limit, privilege* of player-managers and the condition* under which player* under su*i*en*Ion may l*e re instated were subjects dlacuaaed from every poaalble viewpoint. After the meet- Ini; was over I,owry Arnold, who repre sented Atlanta at the conference, talked freely al*out the Importance of thing* ac complished. He anld that It waa made clenr to every inn linger that he la allowed fourteen men when be doc* nothing but manage a team, and make* no attempt to go on thrf coaching line. “When a manager play* In the game," anld Mr. Arnold, “half of hla aalary cornea out of the 12,700 salary allowed the player*, end he la not allowed to carry but thirteen “I waa well plenaed with the outcome of the meeting and have enjoyed the trip to Birmingham. Atlanta did not figure In ony of the proteat a. and therefore I had very little to any with reference to the home club.

Wormser, the nudltor of the league, waa not ready to report, and In conse quence the matter of vital Interest to the league—the question of whether or not auy of the clubs III the league are exceeding the salary limit—was not brought up.

'Base stealing.' or running from one base to the next when the pitcher was not looking, tickled the crowd luimeuttdy, especially If the runner had a 'slide home.' To the man watching a game of baseball for the tlrat time It would seem possessed of n vast amount of mild humor, while nt the same time, It has Its risks. The ball used la not soft, and, when thrown with a man's full force In order to get n base stealer out, enn cause considerable dis comfort to that base stealer If It hits him. “Twb things stand out ns worthy of ad- falratlnu. One of these la the fact flint the hatNineii hit the ball iin often iin they do; the other, that the fieldsmen never tnlsa It. Thu fielding on Hntnrday was nothing short of marvelous nt times, though hard catches are certainly made rather easier by the thick tmddcd glove worn by fieldsmen ou their left hand, lint, even allowing for this, the same degree of accuracy In stop ping the very hardest drives would be much appreciated on moat cricket fields. IVrlinpa If bnaeball becomes established In England, kninrter fielding tuny tm seen In time on the (Ticket field, (tut whether It la accepted aa a useful adjunct to cricket or as n game 'on Ita own,' It la better worth a place among English sports than moat peo ple think, and It haa one groat recommenda tion—there Is no waiting."

Yet that waa Jttat what hnppcned. Hcore, Atlanta 3, Memphla 7. The attempt to “rail" the gentlemen from the city of llluffs resulted fatally. Atlanta figured thnt Habb was bolding a busted flush, about aoveu high. And, come to find out. It was a full baud, with acea up. It all happeueil In the strenuous seventh.

One thing followed another with n speed which waa appalling, ami ninldat a hull of hits, base* on halts and errors seven run* were tallied. It waa one of those Incomprehensible In ultign. when everything went to the had and there Is no use' In howling about It.

He found there n ten)n, which was, *0 "•hot to piece*" that he could* sAve only .three men from the wreck. .‘For ;tuy» ; years he had been out of minor league baseball and had lost track,,or minor league players. And yet he went ahead, developed a fair team from nothlug^at all, and !* getting a lot ont of It. Very few managers aa young nnd na luexpertenced an .Charley Babb have done as well as he has and he deserve* a world of credit. Behind thedeam la the level bend of Toni McCullough, a man who knows baseball from the liottom up, nnd hla assistance has lieen material In pine- lug the team where It Is.

Juue a.—After local fan* bad practically clotwl with the owner* of the Albany baseball team for the purchase of their franchise In the Georgia State Longue, the final arrangements for perfect ing the deal were postponed. Thla waa due first to the fact that the Albany people wanted a little more money thau the local people were willing to pay, and second, to the f«<T that the men here Who are put ting up the capital to book a team received a telegram late yesterday afternoon from J.
