The Atlanta Georglau'a story of Monday
to the effect that the Atlanta dub would
lie glad to get out of th'e Southern league
and Info the South Atlantic, provided It
waa not Visible *° aome relief from
present undesirable domination ol
harley Frank, the Tebeau of the South
ern league, stirred up a*world of comment
throughout the South. As a rule, the South
Atlantic papers were delighted with the
prospect of getting such a valuable addi
tion to their circuit, while the Southern
Isengue papers were dismayed nt the proa
pect of losing the city which ntnuds with
Hlrtnlnghrfm oa the hacklmue of the league
—though It may he mentioned In passing
that many writers tried to conceal Ibis
dismay by much loud talking and strong
writing (strong, In the case of the New
Orleans yellows, as butter and aUcb things
get strong).
Here are a few selections from the vlewa
of other papers on the question:
“WE WILL NOT* LET THEM.”
From The New Orleans States.
It la all a bluff about Atlanta with
drawing from tbu Southern Baseball An-
cclat|on and faking Birmingham with them
Into the South Atlantic league. As a mat
ter of fact, aueli a thing a* Atlanta get
ting out of the Southern league nnd join
ing the South Atlantic la ridiculous, for, In
the first place, the National Association of
Professional Baseball Clubs, of which the
Southern snd South Atlantic leagues are
members, would hsve to lie consulted. At
lanta la a part of the Southern League cir
cuit, nnd no matter who may own the At
lanta franchise that town would have to
lie In that circuit nnd no other, no matter
how nnxfoua Captnlu Joyner may Iw to
Join the South Atlantic League, lie could
not do ao because the Southern longue
would oppose It to the bitter end, and
would, lie upheld In tbrir contentions by the
National Association and the supreme court
of baseball, the nattonnl commission, which
would he called upon to settle the dispute
niut everylmdy who knows baseball 1aw
Is aware that the decision would l»e that
Atlanta Is still a member of the Southern
League, with, perhaps, new owuers of the
franchise.
“PUT ’EM OUTT 8AY8 T. D.
From The New Orlenna Times-Democrat.
Of* course, the threat to draw out of
the Southern longue on the. part of At
lantn la all a bluff. Everybody around
the circuit understands that. Atlanta
didn't even have the courage to come out
nud take this stand by herself; she hna
made what will probably prove an unsuc
cessful attempt to rope jmor Birmingham
In with her. . Atlanta may not have to
pull out of the Southern league. There la
a marked possibility that she will be
thrown out, and Hlrinlnghnm won’t go
with her, either. Twice within the last
three weeks umpires have l»een mobbed In
the Georgia capital, nnd It Is safe to
that these tactics, connected with others
even worse, will not go In anch au
gaiilaatlon ns the Southern League, which
has a standard ns high aa any other base-
twill organisation In the country.
MAKE IT EASIER FOR FRANK.
From The Macon Telegraph.
In speaking on the subject of Atlanta and
Birmingham leaving the Southern League,
the New Orlenna Hally States' dope writer
says the remainder of the league will be
perfectly willing to let these two go. Then,
to prove beyond the shadow df a doubt
that be hn* Immmi visiting a dope “den,"
this literary genius goes further and adds
the atartllug statement that the trading of
Atlanta nnd Birmingham for Chattanooga
and Mobile would add to the'strength of
the Southern. It might. In reality, make It
a little easier for Charlie Frank to carry
on his high-handed measures without Inter
ruptlou.

Mike tTwIut Sullivan and **Kube'’ Smith j

the white welterweight championship.
enjoyed a pleasant iunU? ( when ha read the
threat by Atlanta to withdraw from the
Southern league.
Mr. Baugh Is a little too wise for aueh
thing, and of course the Atlanta association
also In endowed with more wisdom than
move from a Class A league to a league In
a few classes below.
One of the New Orleans papers states
that It la probable the present owners of tha
Atlanta club will ’be asked to retire from
the game. Let Kavanaugh ask them or let
Charlie Frank start something with At
lanta. The sooner the better. Charlie will
get hla aolur plexus.
DOESN'T LOOK HALF BAD.
From The Macon Newa.
F.dltor Percy Whiting of the baseball pagt
of The Atlanta Georgian has Just finished
hitting the pipe.
What Whiting did wat to figure up the
population of the cities' comprising the
Southern nnd South Atlantic, leagues,
then propped a change of allegiance on
the part of Atlanta- nnd Birmingham. And
It does not look half had either. Atlanta
seems to have a pretty go&d reason for
soreness at certalu Southern League off!
clala and her skipping Into the South-At
lantfc League would prove a balm for that
hurt and bolster up this letgue*ss well.
“FOOL18H ‘ATLANTA."
From The Montgomery Journal.
The latest thlug out In. tmaebal! la l_.
threat of some of the directors of the At
lanta club to Join the South Atlantic League
or form a new lenftue, and they-expect
Birmingham to Join them!
Poor Atlanta;' foolish Atlanta. This
the silliest rot we have'ever read. ,Juat
think of It. Chief Joyner, says he would
welcome a change. I*owry Arnold aaya,
We cannot get Juatlce In the Southern
League."
PRETTY GOOD MOVE.
From The Birmingham Ledger.
Percy Whltlag fix* sougded the people of
Birmingham and AtUtnta with regard to the
scheme of pulling out of the Southern
League and going Into the South Atlantic.
The scheme will not probably • be worked,
Imt It would Im* a pretty good move.
One of the Charleys , down In New Or
leans writes a long article about WhBlug'a
scheme to disrupt, the Southern League, lie
throws mud all. over- Birmingham nnd At
lanta. and uses his usual muddy arguments.
He says It would lie well If Birmingham
and Atlnnta Ixith got out. Well. If Birm
ingham aild Atlanta get. out of the South
ern League there would'Im* two frog-eaters
In New Orleans «mt of a Job. Neither man
can do anything else hut write nlmut base-
boll, nnd there would be no baseball to
write about.
fW-riously now, Percy, your scheme Is not
» very bad. A reinedf It needed. Atlanta
and Birmingham would greatly strengthen
the South Atlantic nnd get tt In Clasu A.
Something, hna to lie done and we will
have to 'Stick' together tw get our dues.
