FISHER AND FRANK
 HAVE NEW LEAGUE
ACCORDING TO STORY FROM
 MEMPHIS FRANK WILL HAVE
 TEAM IN NEW ORLEANS, WHILE FISHER COME TO BIRMINGHAM.

Sometime since The Age-Herald first gave publicity to a story that Frank and Fisher having failed to run the Southern League this season as they, wished had decided to break away and form an as- sociation of their own. At the time Newt Fisher denied the story. Like Banquo's Ghost the rumor will not down. Some one in Memphis has revived and elabor- ated the story and gives all particulars. Each and every detail is fully given. The following special dispatch to the Nashville American is interesting reading in this connection:
 Memphis, September S.-(SpeeiaD.- Something has already been done in a baseball way for the south next year. an agreement having been signed here today. The parties to the agreement are Memphis. Nashville and George Te- beau of Louisville, representing the American association, whose interest at present appears to be found in drawing a recruit to the American association, as against the other national baseball protective associations. Tebeau has been in Memphis a couple of days, but the purpose of his visit did not become man. ifest until tonight, the early supposition being that he was after Memphis and Nashville to enter the American associa- tion next year. Under the agreement as signed today, the Southern League next year will be composed of New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery, Birmingham, At lanta, Savannah Nashville and Memphis. Little Rock, Shreveport and Chattanooga are eliminated, New Orleans Is also out of it. so far as Abner Powells organiza- tion is concerned for Charley Frank, the present Memphis manager, takes the Crescent franchise. Newt Fisher of Nashville goes to Birmingham and Alp batticchio, Nashvilles second baseman. takes charge of the team in that city.
 The re-organzed league cuts loose from the National Protective association of minor leagues and casts its lines with the American association. So far as Memphis is concerned and also the New Orleans end of 1t, abundant Memphis capital is behind them.

Mattrews Released From Jail.

Chattanooga, Tenn. September 9.-Dep- uty sherffs early this morning arrived from Memphis with Umpire Matthews of the Southern league, who is under arrest on an attachment char ing him with contempt of court in refusing to allow St Vrain to pitch a game here with the Memphis club. Matthews was placed in the county jail, but later in the morning ex-Presdent Nicklin, of the Southern league, made his bond. The attachment is made returnable in the chancery court September F, but in the meantime 1t is probable that the attorneys for the Southern league will move to quash the proceedings or bring the case up in some form on a writ of habeas corpus.

Shreveport, La, September 9.-(Spe- cial.) Shreveport took the last game of the present series and the last game be- tween the two teams this season this afternoon. Denver pitched a great game barring the fourth inning. when the four hits scored by Shreveport were made. In every other inning he was an enigma to the Pirates Not the least thing that looked like a hit WIS made. His wild ness was costly, as three of the seven gifts resulted in runs. Stewart opposed him on the slab and was a tough propo- sition in every inning except the first. The visitors appeared to be off in their fielding today, and the errors were cost ly. Little Deisel made three glaring blunders and all resulted in runs
 Birmingham was first to bat and com menced in good style. Lawler and w. Smith singled. Browns safe hit scored the former; Blue was hit and walked to I.rst Hutton singled to left and w. Smith scored. Skopec's wild throw to the plate let Brown walk in. Cavender advanced Blue and Hutton by a very pretty sacrifice, but both were left as -- eisel and Reitz were easy outs. Gifts
 
 error gave Shreveport one in her half.
 Scored Again in Fifth.
 Birmingham scored again for the last time in the fifth. Brouthers threw Cav endar's grounder wild to first and the visitor too second. Hits by Deisel and Rietz scored him. There was nothing doing for Shreveport until the fourth Osteen singled Skopec hit to Hutton and was safe on an error, Pages, sacrifice advanced both runners. Lehman singled to center and two runs resulted. Stewart was hit, Norcum scored on Deisels wild throw to Blue. gift, fieder's choice and errors by Deisel counted for the two runs secured by the Pirates in the fifth.
 Beavers pitching and enchanted catch of a line drive from Stewards bat was the features.
