THE TROUBLE Is WITH ATLANTA.
The status of the Southeastern
Lengae Rather PerpIexInE.

The cause Of al the Southern base ball
league trouble IS Atlanta.
The status OF the league Is just at
present extremely perplexing. When It
was formed the league asked, paid for.
and was accorded class "B' member
ship by the National League. and Presi-
dent Youngs bulletin issued last week,
confirmed the membership. The obtain
ing Of the protection meant that no city
In the Southeastern League could have
club in another league.
A day or two ago the defunct Southern
League was resuscitated at Memphis.
and the following cities were made mem
bers: Atlanta. Memphis, Nashville, Lit
tie Rock, birmingham, Mobile and New
Orleans.
Right here is where the trouble begins.
Atlanta had already became a member
OF the Southeastern League, and, IL the
terms of the National Leagues recOgni-
ton were 10 be kept, could not become
a member OF the Southern. President
Young, who only a few days before had
not only granted the Southeastern League
protection, but accompanied IL with his
personal congratulations, in a letter to
an Atlanta paper in which he says that
the southeastern League cannot inter
dere with the established rights of the
Southern League.
Then why in the world, base ball men
are asking. did not Mr.. Young state this
terday II there was any proviso with the
guarantee given the Southeastern League
and he said, as well that as he could
remember, there was none.
Manager Curtiss received a letter from
President Passalaique last night, in which
Mir. Passalaique stated that the hackers
of the Atlanta club had assured him that
II was all a huge bluff about Atlanta go
ing in the Southern League; that Atlanta
was not represented at the meeting at
which the league was formed, that Mr.
Bickharts, who controlled the club is in
California, and that there is very little
likelihood of Atlanta putting a club in
the Southern League, even if President
Young should decide i'm its favor. Mr.
Curtiss expects to hear something def
mite in day or two. but expresses the
belief that the Southeastern will come
out on top. He is overrun with applica-
tons from aspirants for positions on the
Savannah team. He has recommendations
for players from Ned Hanlon. j. j.. Nc
Closkey. Buck Ewing, Pete Browning and
Tim Murname, and says he is in cores
pondence with several good men,
A letter has been received from Arthur
regard to arranging games with the Sa-
vannah team when the Giants come south
for their spring practice. They will leave
New York early in March and will remain
In Jacksonville until March 20. Manager
Irwin wants TO play in Savannah on or
about March q.
Mr.. Curtiss has also received a letter
from Manager Hanlon of Baltimore, who
wants to arrange for the orioles to play
a series of games here the latter part of
March.
