REVOLT FROM SOUTHERN LEAGUE POSSIBLE
Atlanta Is Sick of It
and Wants to
Change.
The Atlanta Baseball Association la ripe
»r a revolt from the Southern League,
and for a transfer of allegiance to the
nuth Atlantic.
If Atlanta made such a move, It Is be
lieved that the Birmingham Baseball Asso
ciation wight Ik* Induced to get In line.
With Atinntn and Birmingham added on
to the present South Atlantic League, It
would become one of the liest paying aud
most compact of minor leagues.
Lowry Arnold, ft prominent member of
the local baseball association, nnd a man
who has been often mentioned to succeed
William Kavanaugh aa president of the
Houthern Association of Baseball Clubs,
said: ”1 hope some day to tee Atlanta and
Birmingham members of the Nouth Atlantic
League.”
When asked for an opinion. President
Joyner, of the local association, said: “I
would welcome the change. I niu tired of
the domination of Charley Frank, and of
the rough deal we are getting from Presi
dent Kavanaugh. Birmingham Is heart and
soul with us In this proposition.”
Whether the local association really In
tend* to take any action along this Une I*
not known. It Is certain, however, that
Birmingham has been sounded on the
proposition, nml thnt the Atlanta Associa
tion Is driven to desperation by what It
considers the unjust discriminations of
President Kavanaugh against Atlanta nml
In favor of Charley Frank and New Orr
jeans.
Undoubtedly, the proposed league would
make a good one. - In popntatlon. It would
only be n little more tbnn half the sloe
of the present Southern League, but what
It lacked lu population, It would tuuke up
In compactness, nnd in tho shortness of the
Jumps between the cities composing It.
A comparison of population of the present
Southern longue and the South Atlantic
with the proposed changes—census of 1900-
follows

If the attendance figures, Instead of the
population, were used, the balance would
be more in favor of the proposed “en
larged" South Atlantg'. Birmingham,
for example, which ranks fifth lu imp
utation lit either league, threatens to lead
the Southern this year In attendance, and
Atlanta, which Is third in the Southern In
population, will surely U5f either secuud or

On the proposition of compactness, the
new league would be hard to bent. Four
cities ill the league would be lu the state
of Georgia. The other four are within
easy striking distance of this state.
In fact. It Is likely that the league
would not have to pay to the railroads
more than half ns much ns the Southern
now pays. As the league would have
“Sunday towns,” there would not need to
be any long Jumps for Sunday games, and
the attendance would be steadier through
the week.
Imwry Arnold, while not. perhaps, en
thusiastic over the proposed uew league,
is yet thoroughly disgusted with the pres
ent arrangement.
“We can get no justice In the Southern,”
he said. Atlanta Is always In the hope

Atlanta still hns fourth place cinched, and

do os well as usual against Birmingham,
and then take the same kind of n fall out
of Nashville that everybody always take*,
the chance* for going up are more than
bright.
With a crippled and slightly disorganised
team, however, it Is likely to be a diffi

Up to Monday's game, Birmingham has
had the better of It with Atlanta. Of the
twelve games played to a finish. Birming
