PEW CHANGES IN SCHEDULE.
It la not likely thut many changes
will be made In the schedule by the
moguls, who go Into session Friday
afternoon.
Birmingham haa the only kick. They
are asked to opan In Nashville, and
they feel that aa pennant winners they
ought to be allowed to open at home.
To this the schedule committee replies
that Birmingham haa opaned at home
every since the league was first organ
ised. and that now It Is their turn lb
let somebody else do so.
Otherwise, there are no complaints
thut Is, thkt will be aired. Billy Mmlht j
does not like the schedule. President
Dickinson and Mayor Joyner are sat-,
Isfied. however, and that settles It. |
Nashville has no kick. Little Bock ,
Is pleased. Memphis has no complaint.'
Montgomery Is delighted. New Or-:
leans and Hhrevepnrt have not been |
heard from yet.
However, It may safely be counted
that few ehanges will be made. The!
inly possibility is that Birmingham will
gel an opening at home.

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PE&07 H. WHITING.
It in the privilege of Atlnptg today to entertain the president
of the Southern League, It is secretary, the club presidents, the
club managers, various officials of the clubs and visiting newspa
per men.
Theae arc the men who have built up (lie Southern League
from a poor wobbly organizafion in which a city like Atlanta
would not take a franchise as a gift, to a (Mass A league, ranking
as a peer of the greatest in the country save only for the major
leagues.
These men have put the Southern League on a firm founda
tion. They have financed the organization until it is now not only
solvent, but a big money maker. They have foreed the hall players
to cut out rowdy hall. They have kept the game free from the
taint of betting.
Of course few of the men who will attend tin- meeting in At
lanta were with the league when it started. The ownership of
the Atlanta club and the management has changed. The same is
true of Nashville. Birmingham has another manager. The own
ership and the management of the Montgomery club has changed
again and again. The Memphis franchise changed hands in 1 805
and the management changed for the second time last winter.
Tho old Little Rock owners pulled out awhile back and new
men are at the heftn. The management of New Orleans switched
when Ab Powell left and Charley Frank took his place. And
theae are only a few of the many changes.
But in every case the club ownership ami the management
has fallen into good hands and the work of building up baseball
in the South has gone steadily on.
Judge Kavanaugh has been with the league since hack in its
stormiest days, lie took the presidency when the league was
reeling to its foundations and lie has steadied it through enough
troubles and fights to have wrecked any ten ordinary leagues.
Atlanta has had her grievances—fancied and otherwise—
against President Kavanaugh. But now that all the unpleasant
ness lias passed ami everybody has settled hack to a normal
calm, alLunite in admitting that—right or wrong -President
Kavanaugh acted in all honesty and made every decision with ab
solute fairness as he saw it. All admire him for his gameness and
honesty and for the part he has played in putting baseball on a
firm foundation in the South and securing recognition for tin-
league in the baseball world.
The Georgian joins with the funs of Atlanta in welcoming the
Southern League moguls to Atlanta ami in hoping that their
stay in the Gate City may lie pleasant ami profitable.
