WHY THE CLUB DIsBANDED.
Managing Director Stewart Says the
Owners VIII Come Out Even.

Managing Director Stewart Says the
Owners Will Come Out Even.
The Southern League of Base BAN Clubs
1t seems, has gone the way of many former
Southern Leagues. 1t has practically dis
banded, though an effort is being made
TO have the four eastern clubs continue
for a short series.
The Savannah Club, as stated above, was
disbanded in Mobile yesterday, and the
men released, having been paid their sal
aries up to May 15
Mr.. Murray NJ. Stewart, managing d.
rector of the club, and who was instru-
mental in putting the club in Savannah,
was seen last night. He said that Mr..
Cooper had been arrested, but had SUISSE
quehtiy been released. He also said that
the players had been paid their salaries
and released, and Savannah was out OF
the league for the season.
Mr.. Stewart said if Savannah had done
as we'll on the road as the other clubs did
that came here there would have been no
necessity for disbanding the club. The
club made money at home, and Mr.. Stew
art says the owners Will come out about
even.
In Montgomery and Mobile Savannah was
unable to secure the guarantee of $50
which the rules of the league provided for.
Ihe attendance at these cities was ex-
tremely small, one of last weeks games
drawing but forty-seven people. OF
course, II was impossible to run the team
ON this basis, and as the situation began
70 grow worse instead of better, Mr.. Stew
art instructed Cooper to release the men.
savannah was willing to continue, said
AR. Stewart, and would have been in to
the death had there been the ghost of a
ehance 10 keep the league ahoat
Inc principal cause of the disbandment
oI the league is probably that rock upon
WAlch SO many former leagues have foun-
uered-Dad management. Some of the
clubs were strongly organized and well
managed, but. Others were not 50 well
packed and had managers at the head of
them who were entirely on the make. The
war probably had a great deal to do with
hastening the disarmament of the league
tnough IL would have come later, anyhow.
what the Savannah players will do is not
known. Some OF them may be able to get
engagements, but The most of them will
remain Out Of employment, at least so far
as base ball is concerned, for the balance
OF the season. Meaney is one man on the
savannah team who will have no trouble
In getting place, and one that viii prob
apiy pay him more than he was getting
mere Meaney has been playing great bah,
ana 1t would not be surprising If he would
get a chance in the big league.
