MAY BE IN THE LEAGUE
MONTGOMERY WOULD BE A
 STRONG POINT IN CIRCUIT
1t is Reliably Asserted That the Shreveport Franchise Will Be Transferred to This City
 Next Year.

1t is almost an assured fact that Mont romery will be a member of the Southern League next season. This was learned yesterday from a gentleman who Is Tn position to know.
 | Every member of the League is more than anxious to have Montgomery in the League To begin with, the geographical situation makes this city almost essential | to the financial interests of the organiza- ton. The long jump from Nashville or Memphis to New Orleans would be broken
 by having Montgomery as a stop-over' The plan is to transfer the Shreveport franchise to Montgomery, the chances being that Shreveport will be member of the proposed Texas League next nea-
 son. That town is entirely too far OH of the Southern circuit and during the past season the visiting teams there bare- ly got their guarantee money. At the last meeting of the League a committee composed of Messrs Ed Peter of Selma, Jackson of Birmingham, Col well of Memphis and Henry Powers of New Orleans, was appointed to visit the different towns of the past League, the object being to see for themselves the chances for next season. This commit tee will be in Montgomery sometime in January and a final report will be made | to President Kent of the League.
 The sum of s1 300 will start team here | in good shape, and after the start IS made, it will almost run itself.
 There is no question of the fact that | baseball in Montgomery next year would | be a good investment, and pay many times for every dollar put in 1t. To begin with, the rivalry between Montgomery and Birmingham would make 1t pay to
 start on. The days of '92 will be renewed. In that year every game the Montgomery team played in Birmingham would have big excursion run there. and when that team came here several hundred Birmingham rooters would come here on big excur- cessful ever known in the history of sion.
 The past season has been the most suc- Southern baseball, and next year the in terest promises to be even greater. The Birmingham franchise was bought | by Messrs Morgan of the T. and P. Rail- | road and Jackson of the Southern, and even with a big handicap they cleared good money on the half of the season.
 The Southern League is now one of the
 most substantial organizations of the
 kind; everything Is run on strictly busi>
 ness principles and there is nothing slip
 shod connected with it.
 | Chattanooga was one of the heaviest | handicaps the League had to contend
 with during the season just closed and | if the franchise of that town can be | transferred to Mobile, the circuit would | be the best that could be made. It would then be: Little Rock, Memphis
 Nashville and Birmingham on the east
 ern. and Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile | and New Orleans on the western end. | This circuit would be compact with all | the. jumps broken, and there Is no req
 | son why every town in the League should
 not make big profit next season.
