Also the Atlanta and Birmingham
team* will play one day before sny
other teams open up. On April 0 the
Atlanta and Birmingham teams will be
the etar performers In Birmingham's
Brat pennant-raising.
Except for allowing Atlanta and Bir
mingham to crack open the aaaaon one
day In advance the Southern League
mogule did not do much which waa
notable at their meeting at the Pied
mont hotel Friday afternoon and night
and In their special session which be
gan shortly after midnight and lasted
until ao late that all count waa tost.
SCHEDULE ADOPTEDI SUREI
Of course the schedule as proposed
was adopted. The correct schedule wee
the one which appeared In The Geor
gian Thursday afternoon. Evan the
"apeehul. extry" game of July 9, be-
itwetn Atlanta end Birmingham, Is not
a scheduled affair. The league simply
gave the two cluba permission to traita-
l»r ... same for August I, I or T to
April I. But this change la not itaety
to appear on the official schedules.
Thla one-day-ln-advance arrange
ment was only arcompUabad after a
good-natured but strenuous squabble
which lasted from 4:10 until nearly 7
o'clock. According to the proposed
schedule Birmingham waa to open In
Nashville. Thla arrangement waa a
"staggerer" for Birmingham. The fans
there counted on having the team open
the aaaaon at hom They had already
begun i plans for a great flag-raising
and poet-mortem celebration of tha
pennant winning. They wanted to start
off tha aeaaon with as big a rush as
they finished It: and they did not feel
that they could do It If the team played
soma gntaa on tha road before the
Blag Town debut. .All this ana more
President Baugh told, with tears In hie
eocletes had blown a lot of money In
a new team and a new park at Nash
ville. In consequence they felt that they
must open at home and get a fancy
•tart In tha race for the pennant.
Haw Problem . Was Solved.
President Dickinson finally found the
way out of what looked like an end-
leas discussion by offering to give up
the privilege of playing the first game
of tha season on tha horns grounds ami
to send the Crackers to Birmingham
for ona game.
This arheme waa welcomed by the
moguls and after aonu mors talk it
went through.

will go to Birmingham April I, take
part In the opening day featlvltlea April

a'obody blames the bovR. If college Kcheriules go wrung and
college tennifi become corrupted by professionalism you can blame
the college men—though the suspicion hits flashed through our
minds more than once that college faculties openly connived
with much of the. corruption which has so often disgraced col
lege athletics of tne country,
In prep, schools the blame for the unsavory and-unsatisfac
tory condition of thing* is duo primarily to the las athletic
morals of the principals and the faculties of the ncIiooIs. They
have winked at the introduction of professionals on the teams.
They have founded “athletic scholarships.” They have allowed
their teams to cancel games which the managers of the teams had
previously promised to play. And the blame is with then).
If the tangle can he straightened out it will do much for
prep, school athletics in (ieorgiu. and—ns always follows—much
for college athletics.
Until the (Georgia colleges have well organized preparatory
school teams to draw their material from they will always be at a
terrible handicap when competing with teams like those of Ten

schools, ready made and in condition to go outo the fields and play-
winning baseball and football.
