THE SCHEME NOT DEAD
KENT AND FISHER WORKING
ON OUTLAW LEAGUE.
Meeting Has Been Called for Same
Day in Birmingham When
Magnates of the South
ern Will Convene.

Birmingham, Oct. 30-(Special)-It was
given out here this morning that the new
baseball league project was not dead by
any means, as the action of the Nashville
association in refusing to enter the pro-
posed league suggested. AS a matter OF
fact, those we'll posted say the project Is
as live as ever, and there is no doubt
but the old association has a lively time
ahead of it.
A meeting Of the new association has
been called for December 15 and will be
held in Birmingham. The call for this
meeting was issued October 6, and it is
rather significant that a meeting of the
Southern League has been called for the
same day in this city. This may mean
that efforts will be made to compromise
the differences, but the more plausible
reason may be found in the fact that
Birmingham has apparently become the
storm center of hostilities.
The statement IS made that the new
association will have clubs at Memphis,
Atlanta Nashville. Savannah. Montgom-
cry, Birmingham, Charleston and New
Orleans 1t is stated that several parks
have been leased already, and that a
number of the best players have been
signed for the coming season. Persons
who know something of the proposed
league state that the scheme will be
go. and that the old association will be
given a strong fight. The result will be,
so it is stated, that either the Frank
Fisher combination will secure the old
association or there will be two leagues.
1t is difficult to learn just who Is behind
the new league in the various cities, but
Sc me information has been secured on
tbi. subject. 1t is said that New Or
leans is represented by Charles l. Lee;
Atlanta by r. C. Boache, and Montgom-
ery by william Stickney. Nashville Is, OF
course. represented by Newt Flsher,
while Memphis is represented by Charley
Frank.
Regarding the action of the Nashville
directors in declining to go into the new

I'VE want baseball In Montgomery and
we intend to have 1t, and a very high
article of baseball at that" said Pres
ident w. H. Ragland of the Montgomery
Traction Company last night. -
For some tune past-since the time that
Montgomery was pretty well settled on
as one of the members of the 1908 South
ern League-there has been a pretty gen.
orally authenticated story that the new
street railway company, the Montgomery
Traction Company, would be behind the
venture. Nothing definite or tangible
could be gotten in regard to the matter
until the meeting of the Southern League
in Little Rock Wednesday. As was stated
in The Advertiser yesterday morning.
Montgomery had no representative at the
meeting and President Kavanaugh OF
the Southern League had the Montgom-
cry franchise awarded to his personal
friend. President Ragland of the Trac-
ton Company.
THE reason Of that was said Mr..
Ragland last night. Mr.. Kavanaugh,
President of the Southern League. is one
Of my close friends. Several times In
that wanted baseball in Montgomery
for next season-and you see the result.
Now when the franchise was awarded
to Montgomery at the League meeting

ing anybody else in Montgomery, had it
made out in my name and wired me that
fact Wednesday night.
Now as to that franchise, the follow
ing is the situation: Our company Is de-
termined to have baseball next summer
and the very highest class of baseball
that can be had. While that franchise
is in my name. I will do this: If any
of the Montgomery people have faith
enough in the enterprise. and I think
that as a paying Investment 1t Is one
of the best propositions know of. to
organize a stock company I will turn
over all or any part OF the franchise to
them. Our company will take as many
shares of the stock as are necessary to
complete the company, and II no sock
company is organized in Montgomery. the
Traction Company will keep the fran
chise and see to it that high class base
ball shall be maintained in Montgomery
next summer.

piece of oak on which is inscribed the
marks of a survey made in Wasco couu-
ty in 1860. Recently it became neces-
sary to find the survey and guided by
field notes,an oak tree was cut into and
a large piece two inches thick was re-
moved. On the inside of the piece re-
moved was found the survey marks in a
perfectly legible condition.
Another relic which he secured was
