Anything From Riot to a Love
Feast May Be Uncorked at
Birmingham Tomorrow Morning
By Percy 11. Whiting.
fJ->Hi: directors of the Southern
| league will assemble this
afternoon at Birmingham,
award the pennant to the Baron
i lub, and—unless the unexpected
happens— adjourn. Os course, it Is
possible that something will be
sprung at this meeting -but It Isn't
probable.
Tonight th. Birmingham club
will entertain the Southern league
with a banquet.
Tomorrow morning the league
will mingle In Its annual meeting.
It may really develop into an im
portant meeting. Four points of
interest, In addition to the imma
terial one of electing officers, will
be brought up, as follows:
1. Montgomery’s attitude in re
gard to keeping its franchise.
2. Salary limits.
3. The Elliott sale.
4 Atlanta's protest against “early
Saturday games."
• • •
| F the Montgomery club is to
withdraw from the Southern
league the fact must be made
known at the meeting. At that
time a schedule committee will be
appointed and this committee must
know whether to make a circuit
with Montgomery In or out. If
Montgomery drops out and Little
Rock takes the franchisi the en
tire schedule will have to be en
tirely different from last year, l-’or
one thing, the old arrangements of
eastern and western clubs will be
revived. For another, there will
probably be more of those terrible
mid-summer jumps from Little
Roek tn Atlanta - the awfullest
Jump in civilized baseball.
Os course, the sale of the Mont
gomery club, if it Is made, does
not absolutely have to come right
awny, but this would be the natural
time.
Most of the baseball men seem
to think that all of Richard Tillis'
talk about selling the franchise is
mere bluff —which may be so.
Little Rock’s attitude Is: Here,
we've been used as the villain of
this piece too often. We have
scared tile fans of a couple of cities
into behaving several times. Now,
if you have a club to sell, come on
and sell it. But bring along an
option before you talk with us.

body about the salarj limit. Bill
Smith Is going to fight anything
radical In the way of a change.
< ‘barley Frank has some foolish

quarters claim that no such tele

Why Charley Frank is fool
enough to want Elliott is beyond
understanding. It is said, however,
that Elliott made the Cuban ttip

there he made an awful hit with

league, now only S4OO, should lie
raised.
"The waiver price in this league
ought to be S6OO, or at the very
lowest, $500,” said Bill. "Four hun
dred dollars doesn't l>uy a good bat
boy these days. If a man is going
to claim a player at all he ought to
be willing to -ay S6OO for him."
Considering the high price of liv
ing and all such thins; Bill Smith
scorns quite right.

PRESIDENT FRANK CALLA
-1 WAY, who, with Bill Smith,
will represent the local club at Bir
mingham, will make a plea for few
er “short Saturday games," Ever
since the circuit was rearranged
into a norther:* and a southern di
vision the Crackers have very fre
quently been forced to start their
games on Saturday at an unearthly
early hour in order that the Crack
ers or the visiting team, or both,
could catch an early train out of
Atlanta so that they could reach a
Sunday ball town in time for a
Sunday game.
This arrangement is most dis
tasteful to Atlanta fans and se
riously hurts the attendance. Pres
ident Callaway believes he can
show this fact to the league and
get a better deal in the 1913 sched
ule.
* • ♦
4 T'S all too much to expect, of
* course, because the Southern
league bus never shown either in
terest or intelligence in the keep
ing of Its averages, but it would be
nice if the league should decide at
its coming meeting to do away
with its bush league and childish
method of figuring "games won and
lost” by pitchers and get in line
with the modern trend.
A hundred times we have pointed
out the folly of the present system,
its absolutely puerility. Every man
at the league meeting tomorrow
knows it. Hut they'll be so busy
arguing whether or not to use self
registering turnstiles and snarling
about tickets and squabbling over
salary limits that they'll never get
to it. So long as they get the
money, what do they care what
the pitchers get?

INGRATITUDEOF
FIGHTERSMKES
PROffIIER QUIT
By Ed. W. Smith.
•< ttoij’VE often heard about the
y base ingratitude of the fes
tive glove wielder and how
the inclination in the profession
seems to be to throw down friends
and the like. Here is a case where
this same thing has forced a box
ing promoter to quit the game in
disgust and call it all off:
Everybody in Memphis and hun
dreds and hundreds of people out
side of that lively Tennessee burg
know 'Slick'' Heitnann. His first
name is Herbert and he is a little
bundle of high power nerves, tilled
to the brim with all sorts of ener
gy. "Slick" has been associated
with Willie Haack, the Southern
referee, in the conduct of the
Southern Athletic club tn Memphis,
operating the old building that for
years and years was the home of
the Phoenix A. C.
“Slick" Has Had Enough.
But “Slick” is through now. He
has turned over his interest in the
club to Haack, who in the future
will operate the famous old arena
where some—in fact, most—of the -
world's famous fighters have per
formed at different times' during
the last decade. Atjd in sliding out
of the business of furnishing the
fighters with purses and the piUdtc
with entertainment "Slick." Afl
yatiees some unique r-awms. Here
are some of the epigrammatieal
gems that he pulls in making his
getaway:
"I'm through for good'-arid all.
I've lost as much money as 1 care
to in this game, and henceforth I'll
be a square guy in a business way.
I'm simply tired of working for
fighters.
"Fighters are the most ungrateful
bunch of people in the world. The
more you do for them the more
they expect and the less they think
of you.
Sore When You Accept Terms.
"1 have found that it makes a
fighter sore when you accept -als
terms for a battle. It's even money
he'll call oft the light when he finds
that he is going to get what he
asked for. Can you beat that?
"I like to think well of my fel
low man. So does everybody else
who is on the square. But a light
er will make you lose all faith in
the human race.
"Few people know the expense,
the humiliation, the loss of tem
per. peace of mind, sleep and self
,respect and the general eussed
ness entailed In the tunning of u
fighting club.
Fighters Want the Earth.
"And when you get through with
wen the winning shows you haven't
a thing you can call tour own.
When any ham-and-egg fig iter in
the country cun make me pay for
his asinim collect messages it is
time to call a halt.
"The public wants the b '-t fight
ers. The best fighters want the
earth. Where does the promoter
get oft.' i’ll tell you whet-., I get
off: this Is my station right here.
Good-night,” and "Slick” placed all
the emphasis at his command on
the first syllable of the parting call.
Haack is not going to give up
the ship. He knows' what is erst
while partner says is true, but he
is going to stick to the ship. He
is going to try and give Memphis
tight fans, the most critical and
wisest on earth, the b-st there is
to be had. Like "Slick," Willie has
another line of endeavor upon
which he depends for his dally
bread and an occasional i iece of
Vie.

46 No-Hit Games Last Season;
Here’s List of Pitchers Who
Hurled the Shutout Struggles
I
A BASEBALL statistician o£
Philadelphia has doped out
this Interesting story on
games played last season:
The no-hit pitching feats of 1912

college pitchers performing such
feats in 1912. As was the case in
1911, two American league pitchers

National league one pitcher secured
a no-hit game—the first feat of the

DEFEAT MURES
LYNCH RERD
By Damon Runyon,
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—After all
Tom Lynch owes Charley
Murphy and Horace Fogel a
vote of thanks. But for that fa
mous knockabout team of baseball,
Lynch would have come but of this
imbroglio merely president of the
National league, which isn’t as im
pressive as it sounds. Through the
co-operation of Murphy and Fogel
lie emerges not only with the title,
but as a real big man in baseball,
and therefore an unusual figure In
the National league.
Fogel and Murphy prodded Lynch
until he became exasperated and
started fighting, and once he got to
fighting he quickly transformed
himself from what everybody had
been pleased to regard as a mere
figurehead into a real leader. To
day he is the new boss 6f the Na
tional league, with Fogel opt of th
way, and Charley Murphy humbly
eating crow. It is very likely that
Tom Lynch didn’t care much dur
ing the Fogel trouble whether he
was re-elected or not. He was too
sore. His personal Character had
been assailed, and he only wanted
vindication. .
He had been maligned and
abused until no man with red blood
in his veins could endure it any
longer. And then he went after his
enemies, and that action put a new
backbone into the supine old Na
tional league. It was forced th re
elect him, and therefore do inuch
toward rehabilitating itself in the
opinion of the fans. It is to be re
gretted that Lynch was not given a
long term, but if he continues to
administer the affairs of the league
during the next year with the same
force and spirit as he demonstrated
during the recent row, his tenure of
office need have no particular limit
• * •
OHN M’GRAW is sore at Rube
Marquard. McGraw, referring
to Marquard’s recent escapades
with an actress and to the pitcher's
boasts that he will hold out for a
SIO,OOO contract next year, said:
That kind of talk makes mo
tired. If it was only a game to
get some cheap advertisement
I would not say a word. But
Marquard should have gone
after that kind of advertising
long ago instead of the kind he
got in being mixed up with
some woman who happens to
be another man’s wife. Mar
quard hasn't done himself or
the New York ball club any
good K his actions this win
ter.
His de. laration that he won’t
sign unless he gets SIO,OOO a
year is foolishness. He is sign
ed tor three years now, and
he’ll report on time Just like
all the other players next
spring. And concerning his
statement that I did not want
to use him in the world z serles
because 1 was afraid his pitch
ing would justify his demands
for a salary increase I have this
to say: 1 offered him two
chances that he took, and he
won both of these games. Then
I put it up to him to pitch the
third game, but he got cold feet
and said he did not care to go
in.
