COMERS RETAIN LEAD
BY A SMALL MARGIN
Columbia, S. C.—For the first time in
the South Atlantic Association season
the leading Columbia club lost more
games than it won in a week during
the last week.
Nevertheless, Columbia managed to re
tain its hold on first place although the
race grew out exceedingly close. Char
leston with four victories and two de
feats. advancing to second place only
one half of one game behind the lead
ers. Greenville, in third place, is one
half of a game from Charleston and
but one full game out of a tie for first
place.
Greenville, by winning three games
from Spartanburg finished the week with
a record of four games won and two lost,
losing the series at the close with Char
leston. Augusta got an even break for
the week with three games won and lost,
while Charlotte w’on three, lost two and
tied one. Spartanburg was able to win
but one game during the week.
The league directors during the week
decided to increase the player limit to
thirteen, the salary limit to $2,000 and
permit each club to have five players
who have had experience in leagues of
higher classification than C., the previ
ous rule permitting four such players.
It was also decided to increase the um
pires from three to four, a wise precau
tion evidently as one umpire resigned
Friday and another injured Saturday.
Reports from all cities are that large
crowds are attending the games, indicat
ing a certain “come-back * in the sport.

PELS STILL LEAD IN THE
SOUTHERN LEAGUE
New Orleans—The clean sweep of n
series from Little Hock by New Orleans
early in the week, after the Travelers
had taken first place in t tie Southern
Association race for a day, kept the
Pelicans at the championship place at
the close of the eighth week yesterday.
The Pelicans gained a three game lead
after four wins and two losses, the trio
of matches from Little Rock and the
single from Memphis yesterday making
up the winning quartet. A loss to
Mobile and one to Memphis were the
Pelicans’ setbacks.
Little Rock, contender for first place,
held second after once gaining the lead
and after the most disastrous record
of any club for this week. The Travel
ers won a single match, that from Mem
phis, the lost one to Mobile, the total
standing on evlctory, four losses Hut
with this the travelers in addition to the
Pelicans are the only association mem
bers who can show more victories than
defeats for the season.
Birmingham and Mobile are tied for
third place after the Bears ascended
from fourth by winning a single each
from Memphis, Little Rock and New
Orleans and losing Just two matches,
those to the Chicks. The Barhna won
three contests out of seven, taking only
two of four from Chattanooga and one
of three from Nashville. The rise of
Mobile left fourth place open.
Atlanta remained first in the second
division. Two victories over the Volun
teers and two over the Lookouts against
two losses to Chattanooga and one to
Nashville completed the Cracker per
formances.
Nashville with an even break in six
games, two wins In a series of three from
Birmingham and one of a trio with At
lanta, again held six.
Chattanooga, with a heavy week in
which four victories against four de
feats were registered, nosed out Mem
phis for seventh place by the scant mar
gin of two points. The lookouts di
vided evenly four games with the
Barons and four with the Crackers.
Memphis, although playing .500 per
cent ball for the week, were unable to
advance from eighth because of the
early season handicap.
