Poor Old Chattanooga Has A Long Wait Coming to Her The fann of the Southern League have suffered varloua schea and Ilia, but quite the largest "misery" that ever came their way Is the pain that Chat tanooga gives them In thinking that the Southern League Is coming around with Its hat In Its hand and ask that town to take a franchise in the South ern League. Chattanooga claims that her feellngl were hurt because after giving a place to the Shreveport team last year when It was driven from home by yellow fever, Harry Erlich went around the circuit and said that Chattanooga did not patronise baseball. Aa a matter of fact, Chattanooga owed Shreveport a debt of gratitude for putting a really first clae* team there and It la a mat ter of record that the attendance was punk In the extreme. What "Diamond Harry” ealdr was only the truth modi fied. On the charge that Chattanooga was kicked out of the league without rea son. Well, talk to any of the manag ers who were In the league at the time the "kicking out” took place. The Chattanooga |fkm had become ,o mix- erable that It wait it Joke nml the at tendance no small that It meant linan. rial ruin for the backer*. Chattanooga wan not kicked out, at that, but bought out.
