JUST SOME NOTES.
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS }
By PERCY H. WHITING.
One roform which was wry quiotly hut very firmly put into
effect nt tlic. rcccnt Noiithcrji League meeting was that of rivTuij
of)uni representation to the two sections of the league in the gov
ernment of the organization.
The constitution of the league requires thnt two of the four
directors lie selected from the enstern section of the league aud
two from the western. Thnt looked nice on paper, hut -the fifth
member of the hoard wits Ihe-president of the league, nnd the
president for many yours has been a “westerner.” That gave a
vote of 3 to t in favor of tlo- west in all questions nml it- was
.small wonder that the east thought that it. was getting the worst
of it now mid then.
The foot that the vice-president wag made an ex-officio mem
ber of the hoard of directors at the Inst meeting nnd thnt the
vice president selected was an Atlnntn man evened things up
somewhat.

.lust what tin- U-nmtc would do if tli<> hoard voted on strict
acctitinal lines would he n matter of doubt. Thnt would leave
the question uwsellh-d with a vote of 3 to 3. However, there is
no use in hittins; that trestle until it is reached. There is always
trouble enough iu the Southern League without anticipating any.
The league presumably acted wisely in deciding to use the
same character of schedule as was used last year and tho year be
fore. It has been well tried nnd found satisfactory. It allows
the cant cm teams to open against each other and the western
against each other. Atlanta, for example, may open in Nashville
for three games and then will eome home nml play three games
against Nashville on home grounds. That gives every club ail
“opening” right at the start of the season. Then the eastern
. teams go west and get in as many games as possible there early
in the season, finishing up at home. This has proved to he the
best arrangement, because the attendance iu the western cities is
worse in the fall than in the spring, because of the early move
ment of cotton. This does not bother the enstern cities as much
nnd the attendance stays good in nt least two of them—Atlanta
nnd Birmingham right to the very end of the season.

hie t-.-nsent. at tiie same time giving
me some sound advice, whit It I have
always heeded, and to which I think f
owe much of my sue,ess that Is, If i
have been s'herssfut." -
.lust as n matter of fairness it ought to be mentioned before
it is forgotten that William Knvunniigh showed himself to be a
pretty lug man in the way he smoothed out the various unpleas
antnesses in the Southern League at the recent meeting.
The president had all the "makings” of a lovely row right on
his person. He could have made trouble for the Atlanta club nml
for tin- league. The Atlanta club lmtl made charges of n very
torrid nature against him and he could have forced the Cracker
delegation to prove them or swallow them—nnd either course
would have been embarrassing, under the circumstances.
Hut the league president put aside any desire he might have
had to “get square” with Atlanta und settled things for the
good of the league.
We have our little rows with the president during the win
ter. His position is a bit like thnt of his umpires and in the
heat of battle we find it linrd to think that sometimes he does not
give Atlanta the worst of it.
Hut we will have to hand it to him. He is one of the real big
men of baseball nml he has done more for the good of the game
in the Smith than any ten men.
We nre glad he has been elected for another term nnd • we
hope that we Shall not lose our temper nt him next senson.
Hut we will not promise.
