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.

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. , VANAGER BABE.
