MACON, June 2.--The committee ap-
pointed by President Grady to investigate
the charges preferred against Memphis
by Columbus, consisting of Willis b.
Sparks of Macon, Frank Foster OF Au-
gusta and Walter r. Brown of Atlanta,
will meet in this city Thursday night, by
which time the manager OF the columbus
club agrees to send all the evidence. 1t
is impossible to say what the outcome OF
the Investigation Will be. Inquiry by the
MORNING NEWS representative among
prominent directors OF the Macon asso-
citation reveals the fact that they are
united in wanting Savannah in the league
in preference TO any other club. They re-
cognIze the fact, too, that savannah Will
patrOnize base ball. In some cities, among
which are Memphis, the gate receipts do
not amount to scarcely anything. Macon
people are anxious TO witness an exhibit
tion game between Savannah and Macon.

MEMPHIS ON HER LAST LEGS.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 1.-The Nash
vile club plays Memphis tomorrow.
Many bets are offered that Nashville beats
the home club two out of three, but there
are no takers. Things are looking blue
for the Memphis club. Their players are
very much dissatisfied, and, although
good ball players, do not work in har-
mOny. Sylvester, Memphis left fielder
and ex-Captain, and one Of the strongest
batters in the league, seems 10 be throw
ing off for his release. The management
do not pay their players money enough,
and when they get a good player they
cannot keep him. The total pay roll of
the club does not amount to $500 a month.
The Memphis club will probably soon
give up the ghost.
