PROSPECT THAT ATLANTA MAY JUMP
CREATES DECIDED STIR IN LEAGUE
The Atlanta Georgian's story of Monday
to the effort that tjw» Atlanta club would
i*fi, Kb*d to got out of the Southern league
nud Into the South Atlantic, provided It
wji* not possible to get 1011111 relief from
the present undesirable domination oi
Charley Frank, the Toheau of the South
ern Longue, atirred tip * world of comment
throughout the South. Am n rule, the South
Atlatitlf papers were delighted with the
prospect of getting nnch ti valuable addi
tion to their circuit, while the Southern
league paper* were' dismayed nt tile prim
ped of liming the city which stand* with
Birmingham ns the backbone of the league
—though It may Im mentioned In panning
that many writers tried to conceal thin
dismay by much loud talking and strong
writing (ntrong, In the cane of the Now
Orleans yellow*, as butter and such thing*
get strong).
Here lire a fejv selection* from the view*
of other patters on the question:
“WE WILL NOT LET .THEM.”
From The Now Orleans Staton.
It Is all a bluff shout Atlanta with
drawing from the Southern Bnsebnll As-
noclntlon and taking Birmingham with them
Into the South Atlantic League. As a mat
tor of fart, nueli a thing an Atlanta get
ting out of the Southern Longue and Join
ing the South Atlantic 1* ridiculous, for. In
the flrst place, the National A*Noolntlon of
Professional Bn*ehitll ('labs, of which the
Southern and Month Atlautlc league* nre
member*, would have to In* consulted. At
lanta I* a part of the Southern league cir
cuit, and no matter who may own tho At
lanta frunrhlMe that town wquld have to
l*e In that circuit ninl no other, no matter
how nnxloits Captain Joyner may lie to
Join the South Atlantic longue. Me could
nut do so because the Southern league
would oppose It to tho bitter end, .and
would be. upheld In their contentions by the
National Association and the supreme court
of baseball, the iintfnnni commission, which
would lie culled upon to settle the dispute
mid everybody who knows baseball law
Is aware that the dcclslou would be that
Atlanta Is still a member of the Southern
Longue, with, perhaps, new owners of the
franchise.
“PUT ’EM OUT?’ SAY8 T. D.
From The* New Orleans Tluies-Democrut.
Of course, the threat to draw out of
the Southern League on the part of At
lanta Is nil a bluff. Everylkody around
the circuit understands -that. Atlanta
didn’t even have the courage to come out
mid take this stand by herself; she has
mads what will prolmbly prove an unsuc
cessful attempt to rope poor Birmingham
In with Tier. Atlanta may not hnv<
pall out of the Southern I*cague. There Is
a marked possibility that she will be
thrown out, and Birmingham won’t go
with her, either. Twice within the Inst
three weeks nmplres have been moblied In
the Georgia enpItaU and It Is safe to say
thnt theme tactics, connected with others
ii worse, will not go In such nu
gaulsatlon as the Hnuthern League, which
has a standard ns high ns any other base
ball organisation In the country.
MAKE IT EA8IER FOR FRANK.
rom The Mncou Telegraph.
In spiwklng on the subject of Atlanta and
Birmingham leaving the Koutliern League,
the New Orleans iHiHy States’ dope writer
says the remainder of the league will he
l>erfeetly willing to let these two go. Then,
to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt
that be has l»een visiting a dope "deuf
thla literary geulus goes further and adds
the startling statement that the trading of
Atlanta nud Birmingham fi»r Chattanooga
and Mobile would add to the strength of
the Southern. It might. In reality, make It
a little easier fi»r Charlie Frank to carry
on Ids high handed measures without Inter
ruption.

Mr. Baugh Is a little too wise for such a
thing, and of course- the Atlanta association
also Is endowed with more wisdom than to
move from a Class A league to a league in
a few classes below.

DOESN’T LOOK HALF BAD,
From The Mucon News.
Editor Percy Whltlug of tho baseball page
of The Atlanta Georgian baa Just finished
hitting the pipe.
What Whiting did was to figure up the
population of the cities comprising the
Southern and Soutli Atlautlc leagues,
then proposed a change of allegiance on
the part of Atlanta and Birmingham. And
It does not look hnlf bad either. Atlanta
seems to have a pretty good reason for
soreness at certain Southern league offi
cials and her skipping Into the South At
lantic league wo'.4d prove a balm for that
hurt and bolster up this league os well.
“FOOLISH ATLANTA.”
From The Montgomery Journal.
The Intest thing out In taisebnll Is the
thrent of some of the directors of the At
Innts club to Join-the South Atlantic League
or form a hew league, and they expect
Birmingham to Join them/
Poor Atlanta^ foolish Atlanta. This Is
tho silliest rot we have ever road. Just
think of It. Chief Joyner says he would
welcome a change. Isi wry Arnold says,
cannot get Justice In the Hontbern
League."
Pretty good move.
From The Birmingham ledger.
Percy Whiting hua sounded the people of
Birmingham and Atlanta with regard to the
scheme of pulling out of the Southern
Longue and going Into the South Atlantic.
The scheme will not probably be worked,
but It would Ike a pretty good move.
One of the Charleys down In New Or
leans writes a long nrtlcls about Whiting's
scheme to disrupt the Southern League, He
throws mud nil over Birmingham and At
lanta, and use* hts usual muddy arguments,
lie says It would he well If Birmingham
ami. Atlnnta (with got out. Well, If Blrm
Ingham and Atlanta get out of tho South
ern League there would be two frog-eaters
}n New Orleans out of a Job. Neither man
can do anything else but write about base
ball. and there would be no liaseball to
write about.
Seriously now, Percy, your scheme Is uot
so t#*ry bad. A remedy Is needed. Atjnnta
ond Birmingham would greatly strengthen
the Mouth Atlantic and get It In Class A.
Something has to lie done and we will
have to stick together to get our dues.

GOOD THING FOR LEAGUE.
rom The Montgomery Advertiser.
The Atlanta newspapers yesterday made
crack In regard to Atlanta and Birming
ham pulling out of the Southern and go
ing Into the Routt) Atlantic League next
sea sou. Seriously, this would probably lie
the very best thing that could happen to
the Southern league.
With Mobile In the place of Atlnnta and
I'lmttanmign—even I’hntanooga—In the
place of Birmingham, the Southern league
would lie Immeasurably lietter off. A
change in the circuit Is hardly a possi
bility next year, but If It should come
