NOTHING VERY IMPORTANT
DONE AT LEAGUE MEETING
*
special to The Georg.nn.
lilrmlnirhani, Ain., June 11.—No mianndcr-
* odlng nhout the nnuil*er of men allowed
to each taam or the mIiry limit exists on
the part of the Hoiithorn league managers
nt present. and tlie numerous petty pro-
tpsta of the earljr part of the aeaaon are
not likely to Iw repeated.
The meeting of the dlreetora here Hatur-
day hod much to do with bringing altout
the condition* that exl*t today. For aev
era I hour* the aalnry limit, privilege* of
player-managers and the condition* under
which player* under su*i*en*Ion may l*e re
instated were subjects dlacuaaed from
every poaalble viewpoint. After the meet-
Ini; was over I,owry Arnold, who repre
sented Atlanta at the conference, talked
freely al*out the Importance of thing* ac
complished. He anld that It waa made
clenr to every inn linger that he la allowed
fourteen men when be doc* nothing but
manage a team, and make* no attempt to
go on thrf coaching line.
“When a manager play* In the game,"
anld Mr. Arnold, “half of hla aalary cornea
out of the 12,700 salary allowed the player*,
end he la not allowed to carry but thirteen
“I waa well plenaed with the outcome of
the meeting and have enjoyed the trip to
Birmingham. Atlanta did not figure In ony
of the proteat a. and therefore I had very
little to any with reference to the home
club. The general rule* apply to Atlanta
aa well oo all the other team*, and 1 am
an re flint the Atlanta club will try to live
up to every rule and regulation which haa
to do with promoting the great national
game In the Kouth.
••Finance* were not dlacuaaed by the dl
rector*. If Naahvllle la In financial atralta
It will have no hearing upon the ftoutbern
League. The league haa nothing to do
with nilauiideritnndlnga between atockhold
era."
After the director* concluded the bo*l«
near aeaalon they wltneaaed the game In*
tween Mhrcveport and Dlrnilnghani. At
bight thy were entertained nt dinner at the
Country Club.
The bualneaa tranaactcd by the league
director* follow*:
Montgomery fined 1100 for tampering with
Flayer Holly, when lie waa under contract
With New* Orleans. Appeal taken to league.
J'rotcat of Nashville against Illrmlngham
on charge that Illrmlngham played Pitcher
Hickman when he waa under contract with
Denver. Not sustained.
t Protest Iwcauae Harry Vaughan played In
game* early In aenaon, which, It la charged,
put the Illrmlngham team over the aalary
limit. Will be Investigated further by Pres
ident Kavnnaugh.
M. E. Wormser, the nudltor of the league,
waa not ready to report, and In conse
quence the matter of vital Interest to the
league—the question of whether or not auy
of the clubs III the league are exceeding
the salary limit—was not brought up.

The article Is, In part, as follows:

hall In at a moderate pare, put n man ou
whose deliveries would do credit- to a piece
of ordnance, and the play liecnnie much
faster. 'Base stealing.' or running from
one base to the next when the pitcher was
not looking, tickled the crowd luimeuttdy,
especially If the runner had a 'slide home.'
To the man watching a game of baseball
for the tlrat time It would seem possessed
of n vast amount of mild humor, while nt
the same time, It has Its risks. The ball
used la not soft, and, when thrown with a
man's full force In order to get n base
stealer out, enn cause considerable dis
comfort to that base stealer If It hits him.
“Twb things stand out ns worthy of ad-
falratlnu. One of these la the fact flint the
hatNineii hit the ball iin often iin they do;
the other, that the fieldsmen never tnlsa It.
Thu fielding on Hntnrday was nothing short
of marvelous nt times, though hard catches
are certainly made rather easier by the
thick tmddcd glove worn by fieldsmen ou
their left hand, lint, even allowing for
this, the same degree of accuracy In stop
ping the very hardest drives would be much
appreciated on moat cricket fields. IVrlinpa
If bnaeball becomes established In England,
kninrter fielding tuny tm seen In time on the
(Ticket field, (tut whether It la accepted
aa a useful adjunct to cricket or as n
game 'on Ita own,' It la better worth a
place among English sports than moat peo
ple think, and It haa one groat recommenda
tion—there Is no waiting."
HOOKS THROWN
BY MR. SUGGS
LITTLE QEORQIE PITCHED GOOD
BALL AND WON HIS GAME
FROM CRACKERS.
MEMPHIS 7. ATLANTA 3
It wasn't so much the llcklug aa It waa
the unrxpcctedneaa of It all that hurt.
If suylaHly lind Mild Itcforc the game that
Atlanta, with UiiIh* Zcllur In the box, waa
going to get aacrlflced by that hunch from
.Memphis, with tleorge Hiigga officiating, a
large, rotund hoot would have l*ecn emit
ted by every Atlanta fan. Yet that waa
Jttat what hnppcned. Hcore, Atlanta 3,
Memphla 7.
The attempt to “rail" the gentlemen from
the city of llluffs resulted fatally. Atlanta
figured thnt Habb was bolding a busted
flush, about aoveu high. And, come to find
out. It was a full baud, with acea up.
It all happeueil In the strenuous seventh.
Thing* usually do happen in that Inning,
for aouie reason; hut not always Just na
they did on Saturday. Thcro la no use In
going tuto details over the mdnees. One
thing followed another with n speed which
waa appalling, ami ninldat a hull of hits,
base* on halts and errors seven run* were
tallied.
It waa one of those Incomprehensible In
ultign. when everything went to the had
and there Is no use' In howling about It.
Atlanta haa agreed from the start that If
she had to lose to auy team »be would l*t*
glad If It could be Memphis—and It sure
was.
The scon* does not telling much about It,
but here Is a hat It asya:

It rather hurts when you think of those
two games Atlanta lost to Memphis, to rend
that Nashville Iwnt the Bluffers 4 to I,
and that with Llcldinrdt In the byx.

Dusty Rhodes pitched well for Cleveland

Fine exhibition of peevishness nt Phila
delphia Saturday! Tne home team wanted
to quit In the eighth, claiming It was too
dark to see the ball,-jind deliberately tried
to throw nwny the game. Klein forfeited

to get out of the pack he waa assaulted by
the crowd nnd,pretty well mulled.
And nil this happened In the Sleepy City

Gee, If Willie Penn could only ace It now.

A world v of credit'Is duo Charley Babb.
He came to Memphis la*t senaon after moat
managers had their teams nil picked. He
found there n ten)n, which was, *0 "•hot to
piece*" that he could* sAve only .three men
from the wreck. .‘For ;tuy» ; years he had
been out of minor league baseball and had
lost track,,or minor league players.
And yet he went ahead, developed a fair
team from nothlug^at all, and !* getting a
lot ont of It. Very few managers aa young
nnd na luexpertenced an .Charley Babb
have done as well as he has and he deserve*
a world of credit. Behind thedeam la the

knows baseball from the liottom up, nnd

If Babb haa a pennant winner this year,

pretty close to the top.

Special to The Girorffinn.
Brunswick. Oa.. Juue a.—After local fan*
bad practically clotwl with the owner* of
the Albany baseball team for the purchase
of their franchise In the Georgia State
Longue, the final arrangements for perfect
ing the deal were postponed. Thla waa due
first to the fact that the Albany people
wanted a little more money thau the local
people were willing to pay, and second, to
the f«<T that the men here Who are put
ting up the capital to book a team received
a telegram late yesterday afternoon from
J. W. Savnrese, tt Savannah, dealring to
know what Brunswick would he willing to
offer him for the Columbus team':
Mr. Savarese wna colled up over the tele
phone. and stated that he would not sell
the Columbus franchise to Brunswick, but
If offered sufficient Inducements he would
transfer the tenm to Brunswick, nnd It
would In future be known aa the Bruns
wick team.
No definite decision as to what Is to be
done Is yet known, but there seems to be
no doubt at all that either the Albany or
the Columbus tenm will be trabsferred to
Brunswick this week.
