BASE BALLS TWO LEAGUES.
The telegraphic report from Savannah
regarding the Southern League Base Ball
Club is erroneous 80 far as Atlanta is
concerned. Inquiry among the managers
of the Atlanta club develops the fact that
the Atlantas belong to the Southeastern
League, of which III. w. Grady is Presi-
deLt, and not to the Southern League.
The Southern League is composed of cities
widely separated, like New Orleans, Men,
phis and Nashville, and league attempt
ing to cover them would be unable to pay
expenses on account of long Jumps.
The Southeastern League embraces the
cities of Atlanta, Macon, Columbus,
Savannah, Augusta, Montgomery, Bir-
mingham and Chattanooga, a short cir
cult and paying one. Every club in
Georgia, with the exception of the
Clinches of Augusta, is member of the
Southeastern League, which has already
secured an alliance with other leagues
under the national agreement, and it
would be a mistake fatal to the success of
the Savannah club for 1t to ally itself with
the Southern instead of the Southeastern
League. The Browns of Augusta, old
time rivals OF Savannah, are in the South
eastern League, and will be known as the
Augustus. A meeting of the Southeastern
League will be held in this city at an
early day to arrange a schedule Of games
for the coming season.
The dispatch alluded to by the NEWS
correspondent is the following, sent to
tO-daY's Constitution:
