By Percy Tl. Whiting. f TMIi; directors of the Southern [ league will assemble Satur day morning at Birmingham, award the pennant to the Baron club, and—unless ; nexpected happens—adjourn. < i:se, tt fa possible that someth. qj will be sprung at this meeting but it Isn't probable. Tonight ths Birmingham club will entertain the Southern league with a banquet. Tomorrow rooming the league will mingle in Its annual meeting. Tt may realty 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. 8. The Elliott sale 4. Atlanta's protest against "early Saturdaj’ 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 Hock takes the franchise the en tire schedule will have to be en tirely different from lust year. For one thing, the old arrangements of eastern and western clubs will be revived For another, there will probably be more of those terrible mld-sutnmer Jumps from Little Boek to 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 away, 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 the 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 • « • VT OTHING has happened recently to change the attitude of any body about the salary limit. Bill Smith is going to tight anything radical in the way of a change. Charley Frank has some foolish sliding scale system. It will never g>ass—not In the form proposed It will not be surprising if ffio action at all is taken on the salary limit question , tHERK mav be a bit of a wrangle * over the Ellloft case. Nash ' illy sold the man to Vernon after it supposed It had waivers from all clubs. It seems now’ that-Frank alleges that he sent a telegram claiming Elliott League head quarters claim that no such tele gram was ever received. Why Charley Frank is fool enough to want Elliott is beyond understanding. It Is said, however, that Elliott made the Cuban trip with the Pelicans and that while there he made an awful hit with Charley Frank Also, that Dutch man has no particular objection to unbridled consumers of the graj>e The ill-feeling over the Elliott Incident is going to come about be cause Vet non was to give SI,OOO for Elliott, while if Frank gets him for the waiver price the miui will net but S4OO to the Nashville club. Any time you cut the Nashville club out of S6OO you art likelv to hear from it. Bill smith is a believer that tin waive price in the Southern THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1912. league, now only S4OO, shodld be railed. "The waiver price in this league ought to be S6OO, or at the very lowest, $600,” said Bill. "Four hun dred dollars doesn't buy a good bat hoy these days. If a man is going to claim a player at all he ought to be willing to pay S6OO for him.” Considering the high price of llv- v Ing and all such thins. Bill Smith seems quite right. « • • p RESIDENT FRANK CALLA - * 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 northern and a southern di vision the Crackers have very fre quently been forced to etart 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 oould 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 oat, show this fact to the league and get a bqtter dea[ in the 1913 sched ule. • • • r T'S all too much to expect, of j 1 course, because the Southern league has never shown either in terest or Intelligence in the keep ing of It-s 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 r knows it. But they’ll be so busy arguing whether or not to use self registering turnstiles and snarling •.bout 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? CHANCE WILL RECEIVE SIB,OOO FROM YANKEES CHICAGO. Dec.

W. Smith. YOU'VE often heard about the base ingratitude of the fes tive glove wlelder and how the inclination in the profession seems to be to throw down .friends v and the like. Here is a case wherq 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 hundred! of people out side of that lively Tennessee burg know “Slick” Heimann. His first name Is Herbert and he Is a little bundle of high power nerves, filled 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 in Memphis, operating the old building that for years and years was the home of the Phoenix .A. O. “Slick" Has Had Enough. But "Slick” is through now. He lias 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 And in sliding out of the business of furnishing the fighters with purses and the public with entertainment "Slick" ad vances some unique reasons. Here are some of the epigrammatical gems that he pulls in making his getaway: "I'm through for good and all. I've lost as much money as I 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 nls terms for a battle. It's even money he’ll call off the fight 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 fight 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 cussed ness entailed in the running of a fight club. Fighters Want the Earth. And when you get through with even the winging show s you haven't a thing you can call your own. When ant ham-and-egg tighter In the country can make me pay for his asinine collect messages it is time to call a halt. "The public waats the best fight ers. The best fighters want the earth. Where does the promoter get off? I'll tell you where 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 fight fans, the most critical and wisest on earth, the best there is to be had. Like "Slick." Willie has another line of endeavor upon which he depends for his daily bread and an occasional piece of pie. Are you tn need or anything today?

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—After all, Tom Lynch owes Charity Murphy and Horace Fogel t vote of thanks. But for that fa mous knockabout team of baseball, Lynch would have come out of this imbroglio merely president of the National league, which isn’t as im pressive as it sounds. Through th. co-operation of Murphy and Fog< 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 of the Na tional league, with Fogel out of the way, and Charley Murphy humbly eating crow. It is very likely tl t Tom Lynch didn't care much dur ing the Fogel trouble whether « 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 ttten he went after his enemies, and that action put a new backbone Into the supine old Na tional league. It was forced to re elect him, and therefore do much toward rehabilitating itself in the opinion of the fans. It is to be re gretted that Lynch was not given i 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 th<- recent row, his tenure of office need have no particular limit. • * • t OHN M’GRAW is sole at Rube J 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 me 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 oe another man’s wife. Mar quard hasn't done himself or the New York ball elub any good by ihs actions this win ter. His declaration that he won't sign unless ho gets SIO,OOO ■< year is foolishness. He is sign ed for three years now, and he'll report on time just like all the other players nexi spring. And concerning his statement that I did not wan to use him in the world series because 1 was afraid his pitch ing would justify his demands for a salary increase I have this to say: I offered him two chances that he took, and lie won both of these games. Then I put it up to him to pitch the third game, but. he got cold feel and said he did not care to go in OXFORD-CAMRRiDGE RUG3Y TEAM W!LL VISIT AMERICA LONDON l>c. 18.— Rugby for < players at the universities of Oxford »’• (’ambridge were asked yesterday to t‘ :l a combined team to undertake a the Pacific <• last The invitations were sent out b?
