Tba managers for next season are: Savannah—Wilson Matthews. Jacksonville—IKralnlck Mullaney. Augusta—Edward Itanslck. Macoo—Perry Llpe. Colombia—Arthur Granville. Tha aonoal meeting of the league direc tor* has not yet been held, although the constitution provide! that It shall be held within ten day* after the close of the play ing season., President Boyer has asked for •n extension of time that ho might be able to get hi* record* In shape to close the business of th* year. There 1* a persistent rumor throughout the league that Boyer will not be president naxt yaar, and thnt be will accept the pres idency of the Virginia State I-cague. In the event he does leave the South Atlantl Ills snei-i'ssor will be chosen from outside the league. At present the prospective candidate* for the which pays $1,500 per year. The season Just closed Ii.ir< been the most successful since the organization league, the attendance In Savannah lug over 1.300 for the entire season, ISO per day more than the two yeiirs. Jacksonville nnd Charleston both lost money. It Is snld, hut this was largely dm to the experimenting that both clubs did, signing over fifty men each during the season. The salary limit \vns not lived up to by a single club In the circuit, and the public was trented to a class of hull that disruption of the league.

Inferior t and another le Just over may AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS PROSPERS The four big automobile center* of well-equipped ropnlr simp. the Middle South are Atlanta. Havnn nah. Nashville nnd New Orleans. Prob ably moro automobiles and better nil toiaobl’.e* are owned In these four cities than In nil the rest of the section put together. And not the least of the four Is At 1, nta. The Capltnl City of Georgia has long been known for Its Interest In the horseless vehicles nnd at the pres ent time there nre perhaps 200 to 250 In active service, though a greater number than thnt nre licensed, Nor are* the machines of the city mostly cheap runnbouts nnd low-grade touring curs, but, as a rule, they are nrst-class machines and an unusually large per cent uro large, high-priced, high-power touring curs. The good roods In the vicinity of At lanta hove done much to increase the popularity of the motor cars nnd long tours over good roads are possible In many* directions from Atlanta. The automobile business In tho city Is In a healthy condition. Two compa nies are now carrying the bulk or tho business—the Atlanta Automobile Com pany and the Capltnl City Automobile Company. The former has been estab lished for some time nnd Is doing a large business. Tho latter Is a new concern, but it has a largo garage— the old Peachtree auditorium—and a The regular season for the automo bile dealers Is practically over nnd soon the new one will begin. Most of the up-to-date cats nre already out with their 1907 models and ‘he others will follow rapidly. In fact, It will not be a great while. In nil probability, before some 1907 models will be on tho local market. It may be stated In passing that thus fnr no very striking or novel changes have appeared In the new models. ('hanges are numerous enough, but mainly In details nnd nothing radical has yet appeared, or at least It* ap pearance lias not been recorded by those thermometers of tho automobile trade—the automobile inagaxinea. With an open winter there should be plenty of good nutornoblllng In and around Atlanta during the next six months. Cape tops will come Into un usual popularity soon nnd lhnuoslne bodies will appear on a few cars. And next spring Atlnnta people will start off with a rush for the new cars and the number owned In this city will undoubtedly be Increased by a hundred or two. C. II. Johnson, of the executive com mittee of the Capltnl City Automobile Company, wns called to New York by Mr. Stevens, of the Stevens-Duryoa nnpany, and he wns Mr. Stevens guest at the elimination lace to select a team for the Vanderbilt cup.

The captain of the Fargo team became greatly dissatisfied with the work of hls first hnseiunn because that luckless wight committed one error. He called Carman In from right to cover tin* gateway bag. and sent Lebo from the base to the field. No huin made more than two slips, which was pretty good In view of the fact that the second basemen took advantage of thirty-three chance*, the third basemen of twenty-two and the shortstops of twenty. Twenty-five Fargo batsmen died nt first^ How many Grand Forks loeust hitters did the same Is not shown by the score, owing to the swap In positions between Fargo’s first baseman nnd right fielder.
