Z. COLSSON TO FIGHT SALARY LIMIT DECREASE MOBILE, ALA . Nov. 11.—Secretary C. Z. Colsson. of the Mobile Baseball association. has left for Milwaukee, where he will represent the associa tion at the meeting of the National As sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues, which convenes in the Wis consin city at noon Tuesday. The meeting is most important, as many things pertaining to the manage ment of minor league teams, and par ticularly of the Southern association, will come up. The most important matter to be discussed will be the pro posed decrease of the salary limits in the Southern and other minor leagues. Secretary Colsson will fight any move made to cut the salary of the ball play ers, for the secretary says he will never agree to legislation that will cheapen baseball. He believes that if the pres idents of the various clubs clamoring for a decrease in the salary limit would look around they could find other ways to cut down expenses than by chop ping salaries.

The big white hope looks to be tn good condition, and he figures that he will put the Canadian away In about five or six rounds. "I don’t know much about Keat-- Ing,” said Morris this morning, “but 1 understand he weighs 228 pounds. If this is so. he will drop heavy when I poke the old sleep producer across. You know what Joe Wal cott said: 'The heavier they are, the harder they go down.’ ” There are two other bouts on the card tomorrow night that should furnish plenty of excitement.

He has been in close touch with owner Jim Gaffney for three weeks, and has lines out for a lot of young players. Stallings expects to make some deals at the league meeting In December. It Is probable that Ar thur Devlin will play first base for the Braves next season, and that Arthur Hues, the slugging third baseman from Buffalo, will cover the far corner. Bues is the young man McGraw turned over to Stallings last spring. The New York club did not exercise its option on Bues, and Boston claimed him. PITTSBURG TEAM BANS BOOZE AND CIGARETTES PITTSBI’RG. PA, Nov. 11. —Booze fighters and cigarette smokers are not wanted in University of Pittsburg ath letic circles. Athletic Coach Joseph H. Thompson, who declares he never smoked a "coffin nail" and never tasted Intoxicating liquors, has come out tlat footedly on the subject, and hereafter there will be nothing doing. Coach Joe says: "It is very rarely that one finds a student addicted to the use of cigarettes or alcohol who has become a successful athlete. Ciga rettes shorten the wind and rob the young man of that ambition and keen ness of mind which are absolutely es sential to success.” Want to buy your second-hand turn) ture. stoves, household articles and utla ■ ellamous thing Yom u<t tn he "For Hale.

HE looked less like a ball play er than any man who ever cavorted for the populace of Dixie and he came mighty near being as great an athlete as ever pulled on a pair of spiked shoes. And his name was Clarence. TJie past tense Iff the aforegoing sentence Is used advisedly. For not longer ago than Saturday there were obscure paragraphs In the pa pers telling that Clarence L. (Cu pid) Childs had passed from this world. It will never be known whether his physical being or the name his parents gave him was the greater handicap to Childs, but, despite the face that'he was built like a bar rel and bore an appellation that stands next to Algernon In the es timation pf the jokesmiths, Childs rose to a point where he was at one time considered the greatest second baseman in the game. Veteran When He Came South. He was on the down grade when he caine to the Southern league, but even down here ever and anon he would show a flash of his old form that made even the ranks of Tus cany unable to keep back their cheers. CLUB MEMBERS KICK; ARE CROWDED OFF OWN LINKS LONDON, Nov. 11.—The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews has become dissatisfied with the treatment dealt out to It by the town council, and members say that unless their griev ances are remedied they will have to acquire another course. Complications have arisen because there are two golf courses at St. An drews, which are kept up by the club at the expense of many- thousands of dollars a year, the public having the right to play- on the old course all the year round and on the new course ex cept during July, August and Septem ber, when the charge is a shilling a day. Many golfers go to St. Andrews, and players have to give their names to a committee the evening before, and the order of play is decided by- ballot. This year the old course has been closed for almost the entire season on account of its bad cgnditlon, due to the great amount of play thereon, and In consequence there have been still great er crowds on the new course, and mem bers of the club have had hardly- any chance to play. CUE EXPERTS ARETn FINE FORM FOR TITLE TOURNEY NEW YORK. Nov. 11.—Judging from the big averages that are being torn off by experts who will compete here this week in the 18.2 balk line champion ship billiard tournament, some records may go by the boards when the tour nament wears down to the finals In Pittsburg the other day Ora Morningstar averaged better than 90 in a 700-point game, and George Sutton has been doing as well in Chicago. Cal vin Demarest is said to be going better than at any time In his career. George Slosson Is playing a good game, and so is Harry Cline. Koji Yamada, Japan's champion, will be a feature, but hardly a contender. He Is good at open table work, but drives the balls around too much to work up long runs Willie Hoppe is the favorite. He hag baen doing great work in his practice games at McGraw's. Playing against tile national amateur champion, Morris Brown. Hoppe averaged 44 4-9 In a 400- i olnt gariw, In his sixth inning he made a run of H 3 seen hurdling over the Sewailee forwards and doing more than his share of t good work. Such interference as this next Saturday and Tech will gain ma | yards on their heavier rivals from Athens. It was just as certain that he would be named “Cupid” as It was that Harry Sallee would be called "Slim." Childs was a little, fat man with a face as red as any bull teaser could have desired. Childs would have looked just as natural as life with a white apron and jacket behind a bar, but It was difficult to conceive how he could carry his avoirdupois over a ball lot with enough speed to Intercept a ball going at even a rate as slow as the coming of reward for De mocracy’s patriots. His every appearance on the field was the signal for the wit of the faithful to be exercised to a de gree. A fat man named Clarence has a fat chance on the ball lot. Was Fast For Heavy Man. But Childs’ fat was deceiving. There was a lot of strength in his lumpy form. He could move as fast as the most sinuous athlete and knew more about Infield play probably than any man who ever performed In a minor league. To add to his grotesque appear ance, Cupid Invariably streaked his face with mud before taking hfs position in the Infield, and it Is said that he was the originator of using lampblack under the eyes to STALLINGS WILL TRY TO LAND MORE PLAYERS BOSTON, Nov. 11.—President James E. Gaffney, of the Boston Nationals, has gone to Milwaukee to confer with his new manager, George Stallings. They will at that time go over the list of available minor leaguers and try to dig up a few good men.
