WRANGLING SETTLED
NO MORE TROUBLE ABOUT
 MONTGOMERY PLAYERS.
Oscar streit will Not Go to Atlanta and Clarence Childs and Wally Taylor Must Play
 Here.

Two bits of paper snugly hidden in the inside pocket of Lew Whistler. Manager of tine Black Sox, will not only make Montgomery but aug Irs that Montgomery will start the championship season with one of the fastest teams in the Southern League.
 The Streit matter is settled for good and all. This was the first joyous piece of news that came early yesterday morn ing, swelling the hopes of all fandom.
 A letter with the Atlanta postmark came to Manager Whistler yesterday morning, and a nasty glance at the con- tents revealed the familiar autograph of Alb Powell. In this letter Powell said that, after considering the matter in its every phase, he had reached the con clusion that the Montgomery club would be the sole owner of the services of waive all possible claim that they might have had on him.
 This leaves the matter in this shape. With Oscar Streit and Sis" Hopkins, paws in the South, and probably two of the very best pitchers In the South.
 Now for good news No. 2.
 Shortly after the Powell letter yester- day morning Whistler received a telegram from Secretary Farrell of the National Association, the organization that con- trols the minor league baseball of the United States. In his telegram Farrell asked if 1t was true that Clarence Childs had never received any advance money from Montgomery and had never signed Montgomery contract, adding that Rob- inson of the Baltimore Club had written him so. In conclusion Farrell asked Whistler if he still insisted on Childs relD would order Childs again to report to Montgomery at once.
 Now, the writer was with Whistler sev- eral days ago when the latter opened a letter from Clarence Childs in which Childs returned two money orders for $7s each, or $50 advance money that Whist Ter had sent him some days before. Whist Ter also has the signature of Clarence Childs to a Montgomery contract, so "Clawence" has no loop hole.
 Wilbert Robinson. the foxy head of the Baltimore Club. evidently has a great and mighty longing for the fat second baseman, and his yearnings have led him to dig up some direful. dark-brown insin- nations against the Montgomery Club. Whistler immediately wired the facts of the case to Secretary Farrell. stating
 that he most emphahcally insists or Childs reporting to Montgomery. Ii rotund individual step off of a train al the Montgomery Union Station Saturday 4 telegram was received by Manage, Whistler yesterday morning from Wally Taylor. saying: Don't close deal; cant come South"
 MT. Taylor is just twentyfour hours late. Wednesday morning a deal was completed between Manager Whistler oi the Black Sox and Walter Burnham manager of the Newark Club, whereby Newark released Taylor and turned hin over to the Montgomery Club. So 1t will be seen that Taylor's telegram yester. day morning was a bit belated and he will be forced to come to Montgomery or stop playing professional baseball without he goes with one of the outlaw leagues.
 The Roth matter was settled some days ago and with Roth, Clark and Manners behind the bat, the fast inheld, includ. ing Childs and Taylor at second, thu swiftest bunch of pitchers in the League and an outfield that will show up every. thing in the League, the Black Box vii | be just about the smoothest aKRreRat tioY in the Southern League.
 To show how great the baseball enthu | siasm is in Montgomery Advancement, | were concluded yesterday by which tn, games of the Black Sox on the road vii
 be taken by telegraph-not the inning, | merely, but the movements of every mai
 in the game, just as the regular baseball | matinees.
 The question of who will play her,
 Sunday Is still undecided, but there vii
 undoubtedly be a game of ball Sunda,
 and championship game at that.
