LOOKS LIKE W. A. JONES WILL BE
NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE
He Has Support of Four Clubs and Prospect of An
other Vote-Some Things About Mr. Boyer.
By FRANC MANGUM.
Charleston—JNsr Buyer.
Savannah—For Boyer. i
Macon —Ffcr Hoyer. ! |
Columbia—For Jones. | < * •
Chattanooga—For Jones.
Augusta—For Jones ‘‘"i
Jacksonville—For Jones.-
Columbus—Doubtful.
For Buyer—three; for Jones-four;
doubtful—one.
That !h, at present, the exact situa
tion In the contest for the presidency
of the South Atlantic League, a fight
which has resolved Itself Into a test of
pcrsonul strength between Charles W.
Coyer, of Hagerstown. Md., and W A.
Jones, of Atlanta, Gu.
Statement* to the contrary notivith-
nt and lug, the oppoalt on to the re-elec
tion of Mr. Boyer Is Just as active as
It was two months ago, and Is far
more determined and a great deal more
promising. The only developments of
lute have been the elimination from
considerst'on of Grantland Rice and
Felix Kohler, although the latter still
says lie Is “In the race.*'
It Is ndmlttodly a fact that the votes
of the Columbia und Chattanooga clubs
aro pledged to Mr. Jones, who is lo
cated In Jacksonville ns a special agent
of the d. H. * F. railroad, and he has
• very raison to believe that both Au
gusta end Jacksonville will give him
their support.
Charleston nnd Bavannnh will
unquestionably vole for Boyer.
Tho Macon clu will also vote
for h'in In preference to Mr.
Jones. The Columbus vote Is silent,
hut is not Incl’ncd to support the pros-
ent Incumbent. Hhould Ihe strength
of *Mr. Jones thereforo appear as
strong at the meeting as both he and
others believe, it Is llkfcly that Colum
bus will Join with the majority In
electing n new pres'dont of the league.
The Virginia League.
Disappointed In his failure to secure
tho presidency of the Virginia Leigue
—an office thnt he des'rcd, and one
which was virtually assured him .to
gether with n substantia! salary—Mis
ter Boyer has written to many through
out this league announcing his candi
dacy far the office of president, and
rt.it'ng tint he never had any inten
tion of ncccptlng an yother plbco.
In this regard. It can bo easily prov
en that Royer was consulted by a com
mittee from tho club owners of the
Virginia Longue, headed by Mr. (Brad
ley, of Richmond. (who subsequently
voted for Jake Wells) nnd asked to
accept the presidency of that'league.
The Hilary consideration was d'seuss-
ed. of course, nml Mister IToy»-r did
not wave the lenxuo officials hack
with n Hlrt of his pudgy flat nnd in
cold, cold tones art’culate those states
manlike nnd Immortal worda “Nay.
nay. Paul’ne," as others in similar In
stances have done before him. In
stead. he gave the Virginia League
owners every reason to believe that
he would take their ‘Job at the proper
time. When the time came. Mister
Boyer was not e'ected (the vote was
tied) and so he now wants to bully
the Bailie League, as he has always
done in the past. Mayhaps he’ll sue
cecu—maybe lie won't
About Bover.
Succinctly. Bover should not be
pros! ent of the South Atlantic League
for the reason that be demands: a sal
ary larger than the league can afford
to pay; because he has shown partial
Ity towards certain clubs: because he
does not give trugue matters, pnrticu
larly the business of assisting weak
clubs, the requisite amount of atten
tion, If any at all: became of his
notoriously poor Judgment, In tho se
lection of umpires, and in the subse
quent handling of them; because he
does not lend the proper dlginlty to the
office; and for other reasons.
About Jones.
Mr. Jones la desirable as president
of the South Atlantic League because
he is Qualified for the office, nnd be
cause he will reduce Its expenses. In
the first place, he offers 10 serve for
3300 less than Is paid Boyer. Second
ly, be'ng located Jn tho league, ho will
reduce the exDcnso account of the
president, particularly the item known
as "railroad fare," and will thereby
save several hundred more dollars. Be
sides, he is a man of this sect’on. hav
ing been born and raised In Atlanta,
lie Is a graduate of the Georgia Tech
and n thorough baseball student.
It Is to be hoped that the club own
ers will-not make the mistake of again
electing Mister 'Boyer, a -man who has
cost the league thousands of dollars,
who has brow-beat the directors, and
run things to suit himself. The league
would have been organised without the
aid pf Boyer, nnd without him ft would
have succeeded. Without him It would
have escaped many costly wrangles,
nnd would not havo lpst so much
money.
Marked for Death.
"Three years ago I was marked for
death. K graveyard cough was tear
ing my lungs to pieces. Doctors fail
ed to help me, and hope had fled,
when my husband got Dr. King’s New
Discovery." says Mrs. A. O. Williams,
of Bae. Ky. "The first dose helped
me and Improvement kept on until I
had gained 6S pounds In weight nnd
my health was fully restored." This
medicine holds the world’s hcaHng re
cord for coughs and colds and lung
and throat diseases^ It prevents pneu
monia. Sold under'guarantee at drug
stores. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle

DOPE
Rumors from Ms con havo it that
Frank Blake, the ninn who rescued
Mercer from foot ball oblivion and
gave the Macon collcgo the first realty
strong team of Its career, has a'gned
to coach there again next fall.
Nashville papers have recently de
nied this positively, however, and state
thnt Blake has received nnd Is con
sidering good offers from Virginia and
Carolina colleges, outsIdO »n the S. I.
A. A.
The friends of foot ball at Mercer s'n-
rerely hope that lllnko will bo back
at the Baptist college again next year.
Through his Influence several star
players, on grounds of personal friend
ship, went to Mercer, and through this
same Influence a couple of Vanderbilt
•tars came down and helped with the
coaching. Looking at It from alt sides.
It appears that Bluko did more for
Mercer foot ball than any other nun
could have done, and It will certainly
be a mistake If the Mercer athletic au
thorities let any of the Virginia or
Carolina colleges slip In and get their
man.—Atlanta Georgian.
BT. LOUIS. Dee.-27—Jack O’Connor
has been given nn unconditional re
lease by the Browns.
O’Connor was the oldest catcher Ir
point of active service in the major
leagues. O’Connor Is trying to secure
an interest In the Scranton club.
Neal Ball, the former Atlanta and
Montgomery ball player, Is wintering
In Bridgeport, Conn. He is uncertain
whore he will be next season, but it Is
reported that Clark Griffith, h's old
manager. Is trying to buy him from the
New York Americans for the Cincin
nati team.
Tbe management of the new Colum
bus, Ga., team, in the South Atlantic
League, seems Inclined to back up
Manager Jim Fox with a good team
for h's Initial venture ns a mogul.
Munager James has Jack. MassIrfgP
formerly of Mobile, and "Pop’’ Eyler
nnd Ross Helm, of Little Rock, all
threo of them first class Southern
League discards. Massing Is a renlly
high class catcher nnd for a while he
looked like a big leaguer.
Jim Fox himself will play first, nnd
James wljl be very, very far and away
the best first sacker In the Sally
League. His fielding la always won
derfully good and he ought to bat "way
up" In batting In the Sally League.—
Atlanta Georgian.
The league directors w'll meet In Sa
vannah about January 20 and many
Important matters will be attended to
besides the election of a president. The
sport writers of the circuit will meet
at the same time for the purpose of
r>erfectlng permanent organisation and
to boost In future the South Atlantic

AUGUSTA COMES
OUT FOR JONES
Will Not Support Boyer for President
—The Chronicle Tells Why.
(By TOM HAMILTON)
AUGUSTA, Ga., Dec. 27—The direc
tors of the South Atlantic Leaguo will
meet in Savannah on the 20th day of
January to elect a president for the
organisation. There ate quite a num
ber of candidates in.the field, and the
man who will bo chosen 1s uncertain
at this stage of ihe conteet. Aa is
well known to the fans throughout
this scctiorf, Mr. W. A. Jones, of Jack
sonville, an enthusiastic and an Intel
ligent fan. is a candidate and la anxi
ous to be given a chance to make good
ax the chief executive of the fastest
class C league In the country. We
prosume that Mr. Charles W. Boyer,
the present head of the league, Is a
candidate for re-election.
Ever since the inception of the South
Atlant’c League five years ago, Mr.
Boyer has occupied the executive chair.
Yet the fair-minded fan, when he care
fully review’s the acts of President
Boyer, for the past five years, can
scarcely find a slnglo thing which re
commends him for re-election.
We read at various times articles
by sport writers In which Mr. Boyer
Is given the credit fof holding tho
South Atlantic League together. Never
was there printed a statement more
untrue than the one which says that
Mr. Boyer Is responsible for the league
surviving. The South Atlantic has lost
in the neighborhood of fifty thousand
dollars In five years. Tho league has
kept Itself together because of the pat
riotism and pride of the loyal fans, who
have gone down Into their pockets and
year after year paid deficits caused
by tho head of the league falling to
enforce the salary limit. Every city
in the league has lost money one year
or another nnd last season all lost
considerable sums, except Jacksonville.
Columbia was In danger of losing
her franchise In the league and Instead
of going to the Carolina capitol fo see
If he couldn’t help the game tana out
of their troubles. President Boyer went
to Knoxville to see If that city could
not be Induced to come Into the league.
When the Augusta basebnlt club was
In trouble last' season and It seemed
that not enough money could be raised
to finish the season, Mr. Boyer was
telegraphed ’to and he came to a meet
ing of the stockholders. The only ad
vice he gave was that If mcney In
sufficient quantities was raised, tho
club could finish tho season. Who
couldn’t give that kind of advice? The
strict enforcement of the salary nnd
player limt is tho only way thnt this
league enn survive. It Is argued in
Mr. Boyer’s favor that he was Instru
mental In securing the admission of
Columbus and Chattanooga. Nothing
of tho sort, for these two cities of their
own initiative organised baseball asso.
clatlons and* after paying 35,000 each
Into the league’s sinking fun, were ad
mitted.
To sum the whole situation up, why
should the South Atlahtlc League con
tinue to pay a fat salary to Mr. Boy
er when it docs not get results? The
Chronicle has never seriously attacked
Mr. Boyer before, as we hoped that
he would do better nnd save tho
league from tho impending financial
ruin. If ho can convlnco the. di
rectors of the league that he can do
this next year by having the salary
limit observed to the letter, and that he
Is not using ofir little orgnnixat'on as
a convenience, then tho Chronicle will
offer no objections to his re-election.
But the directors should look carefully
Into tho matter before re-electing n
longue president whose administration
has been so calamitous.
Now, as to Mr. Jones. He Is wining
to accept tho presidency for $1,200 per
year, which Is $300 less than Mr. Boy
er receives. He guarantees to cur
tail the expenses which have been at
tached to the president’s offlcd. He Is
cry popular personally wherever he
_i known. Ho certainly could not do
worse than Mr. Boyer has done. Hts
lack of experience In handling base
ball leagues and players Is his only
handicap, but It Is very evident that
Mr. Boyer’s experience did him no
good since he cannot manage the
finances of the longue In a manner that
anywhere approaches success. Another
thing in Mr. Jones’ favor Is that he
Is n man of the South Atlantic League.
He Is a Georgian and !* now a promi
nent railroad man In Jacksonville.
