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. • • • has happened recently to Change the attitude of any body about the salarj limit. Bill Smith Is going to fight anything radical In the way of a change. < ‘barley Frank has some foolish sliding scale system, it will never pass—not in the form proposed It will not be surprising if no action at all Is taken on the salary limit question. • • • t i 11'. it11 • ng * over th. Elliott .use Nash ville sold the man to Vernon after it supposed It | 1!K 1 waiv< >s from al! clubs. It se.ins now that Frank alleges that he -ent a telegram claiming Elliott.

It is said, however, that Elliott made the Cuban ttip with the Pelicans and that while there he made an awful hit with Charley Frank Also, that Dutch man has no pa tieulai objection to unbridled consumers of the g ape i ■ 'Il-feeling over th Elliott incident is going to come about be , auae Vernon was to give $l,00t) for Elliott, while if Frank gets him tot the waiver price the man will net but s4Oll to the Nashvil .. club.

"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. Are con In need or anything today?

FOGELIURPRy 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.
