4 Dissolution Expected on Account of It's
Financial Condition.

ATLANTA, GA, August 4-There is
Southern League are approaching a
crisis. Publications in out-of-town pa
pers to the effect that Atlanta's club will
disband are vigorously denied by officials,
who say it will stick together as long as
any club does. They acknowledge, how
ever. that the club has lost money. and
indications are that every other club in
the league has done the same. The
league situation, as near as can be as
certained, seems TO be this: Proprietors
Of the Charleston and Savannah clubs
have declared they would not make trips
as per schedule; owners Of Chattanooga
club are quoted as saying they will put
no more money in fl. and their manager
is quoted as saying there VIII be an
early dissolution. AS this is President
Nicklin's city, the statement is signin-
cant.
The Macon club has lost heavily, and
the public has been appealed TO to help
II out
or the western division, Montgomery
notified President Nicklin that the club
would disband, and several players have
jumped.
Mobile is said to have lost heavily.
Memphis did well the first of the sea-
son. but is doing nothing now.
Pensacola is regarded as n temporary
makeshift. The league will undoubtedly
have to drop the Nashville club. which
has been carried with league funds. II
is supposed 10 have a sinking fund at
It's back, but complications OF some kind
have arisen which make that fund UNI
available. Just what these complications
.ro gr not ~r,ur baro Itt a. l. -
stood the presidents drafts on the sink
ing fund trustees have not been honored.
General sentiment OF the league seems
to be that in view OF the situation and
that all clubs are losing a dissolution
should be made. A meeting OF the clubs
will be held az once and the season cut
short. There has been no official call yet.
