C. Frank Will Not Protest
Against That Castro Deal
OUTLAWS MAY
BE REFORMED
TRI-STATE LEAGUE ASKS FOR
PROTECTION UNDER NA
TIONAL AGREEMENT.
Chicago, III., Sept. 14.—The Trl
State League, the Pennsylvania—a
thorn In the aide of organised baseball
*—has entered Into negotiations with
John H. Farrell, secretary of the Na
tlonal Association of Minor Leagues, to
secure protection under the national
agreement. No formal action has yet
been taken on the application of the
outlaws, but the national commission
has been notified of the opening of the
negotiations.
League Standings
"I will not start any movement to have
the Castro desl Investigated at the annual
meeting of the Houtheru league," snld Man
•ger Frank, of the New Orleans club. "1
see the pspers are talking » lot about It,
but 1 do not plau auy such move."
And by this statement. Manager Frank
should set st rest the wild rumors that
"That Dutchman" planned a big coup nt
the annual meeting of the Houtheru league
which was to knock Birmingham out of the
pennant. _
"If the thing comes up, though, I shall
vote as I think," added Manager Frank,
"and I certainly think that Vaughau had
no right to the man.
"The constitution of the league distinct
ly provides that no Houthern League play
er ran be secured from another team dur
Ing the last thirty days of the playing sea
son. 1 understand that Judge Kavanaugh
says that this rule can not bold, because it
conflicts with a clause In the national
agreement.
•” think, though, that the presbleut Is
\g here. The National Association can
»te what rules we shnll have that gov*
the relations of one tengne with an
other, but I do not think that they cau
prevent us from enforcing a rule which
relates to the tratling of players Jf mti one
train to another In our own league. And
If they can’t, then the Castro dent was
contrary to our constitution on the face of
“ regardless of whether the transfer was
ale or a loan, and all the games In which
played should be thrown out.
However." concluded Manager Frank, "I
prefer to win games on the diamond, and
not at the league meetings. They took
twenty five games away from me on that
8t. Irnln deal, and there la uo reason
why they should not from Birmingham.
"But. what’s the use?"
If Atlsntn finishes second In the league
race It ts doubt fill If the local n*ii4M‘lntTon
does' not owe if. as a 4lntv to tt»«* league,
to protest the games In which Castro play-
club In the lengne. save poflidhly
Atlanta doe* not wnnt one secured
that way.
But It seems about time that some one
made a ^protest against deals like that
i»ai_
i preveut New Orleans, say.
If Birmingham gets away with It this
rear, what la —‘
‘r.tin f-ettlti
men front the tall end teams for the finish
of next season’s race?
It would be aa fair for them as for
Birmingham.
And If such things w<<rc allowed to con
tinue, pennant races would become a
farce. Tint strong teams would strengthen
If Charley Frank’s contention Is true
that the provision of the Houthern League’s
constitution which forbids sale* or trades
of any kind within the leugue in the last
thirty days of the playing season Is not In
conflict with a rule of the Nntlounl Asso
ciation, then every game In which Castro
played should be set aside. If this pro
vision docs not-stnnd. then every game In
which Castro played Itefore he was actual
ly sold to Birmingham, nnd during which
time he was a loaned player should be
thrown out.
Atlnnts' does not wikit the games nnd
does uot care especially who gets them,
hut Atlanta ought to he Interested In en
forcing the laws of the league and of the
national agreement, even against her
friends.
JORDAN SUES

baseball association, has sued Charley
Frank and the New Orleans Amuse

Golf Course at East Lake
One of Longest in Country
The new golf course of the Atlanta Ath
letic Club at East Lake, which wlll.be of
ficially opened Saturday, Is the largest in
the South nnd one of the very longest In
the entire country.
It was measured Thursday by F. G. Byrd
and Superintendent Pickering nnd found to
be 6,970 yards long, or almost exactly 394
miles In length.
These measurements came ns a surprise
even to the men who laid out the course.
They figured that It was somewhat more
than 6,000 yards long, but when the exact
figures were ascertained the total made
them fairly gasp. No course In the South
touches It on length nnd few In the country
are within 1,000 yards of It.
Just what the bogey will be for this
course has not been determined. It is likely
that the figures will be submitted to Tom
Bendlow, the famous professional, who laid
out the course, and his oplulon will be se
cured.
The new course will be opened In the af
ternoon of Saturday. Evertyhlng will then
he In rendlness for piny. The sand lioxes
ive all been placed, the cups Inserted and
erything Is spick and span for opening
day. The caddy house has been completed
nnd a b

third flight cups, will begin Tuesday after
noon-with a qualifying round. Each man
selects his own partner and opponents keep
each other’s scores. .Matches may be start
ed any time after noon. The first match
round for the Trawlck cup will start m.
Thursday afternoon, but the others will
begin Wednesday afternoon. The drawing
for opponents will be conducted by the com
mittee.
The golf committee announces that ball*
which go over the fence beyond hole l or
to the left of holes 2, 3, 12 and 13 are "out
of bounds." When played over the fence*,
therefore, the bnll must be dropped from
the point where It was played (no penalty,
but loss of distance).
