QUO Jordan, who played second base last year for Brooklyn. has been signed 10 manage the Atlanta team. and will re- port in the Gate City Tuesday to get acquainted withe the people. the manage ment and with the conditions of affairs in that berg.
 Jordan has a good record. and if he makes good manager Atlanta has a star in this youngster. who Is still only "A years old. Last year he figured in sev- enty games with Brooklyn and lead the National league second basemen in field ing, with percentage of .95s.
 His record last year was 3s2 chances, l76 assists and 142 putouts and 14 errors. He hit .250 which should mean that he will bat about 300 in the Southern league. He originated In the New York State league with Binghampton and Is resi- dent of Pittsburg
 The sporting editor of the Brooklyn Eagle has this to say of the Atlanta man ager:
 Jordan does more work and less talk ing probably than any other ball player wearing spangles today. On this account he is said to lack aggressiveness but there are some umpires who say that he has Bad Bill Dahlen skinned when it comes to getting all that is coming, sim ply by a few terse remarks and look Hanlon sized him up long ago as an ideal

ATLANTA HAS TIED TO
 GOOD BASEBALL MOGUL

ball player in the matter of build and natural ability.
 He is a prototype of Tom Daly, one of the headiest second basemen extant. being built with pair of hands that make the ball look like a proverbial Dill as it rolls into the waiting paws. He is a slashing batter when right, long drives for extra bases being his forte. A bit of tardiness on the bases he will easily overcome on the diamond of the South ern. where his major league experience will be of valuable assistance to him. Jordan Is a native of Pittsburg and is 24 years old. He jumped into prominence as A member of the Binghamton club of the New York State league. which has given to the league such great players as Billy Keeler, Lou Ritter. Harry Lumley and host of others
 Last year Jordan divided with Claude Ritchey of Pittsburg and Raymep of Bos- ton the honor of leading the National leaeue second basemen, having fielding average of .95S for seventy games. He made only II misplays in s32 chances get fling 142 putouts and 176 assists. He had an off year in batting, his stick work heinz represented by an average of .250. This included a bunch of doubles and triples that swelled his total base record materially. It is the consensus of opinion 1 that Atlanta has secured good man.

UNJUST ATTACK MADE ON
 PRESIDENT KAVANAUGH

longer a hearty supporter of the cause. One of Johnson's contentious in his ar gument with Griffiths was that the Southern league should be put in the highest class, along with the Eastern and American association. This was ab- solutely refused by the Class A men, who hold that the Southern is not nearly the equal in playing strength of the other two. "It is very clear. though, said q prominent Eastern league mana ger. ''that Johnson 'las got to the Judge, and have no doubt that an arrange nent has already been made for the cov- ering up of Southern league players. With the minors divided against them selves, and Johnson standing pat in his position the present conditions are due to prevail for another year"
 On the face of it the attack looks un- founded and absolutely without justice. President Kavanaugh is man of sterl- Ing integrity and a firm believer and supporter of |. the National association. As a man of character and brains, he probably outranks any other man con nected with the national game.

agef, Natcnez Will make good showing. For a w,llle things in balldom looked dark, but the "big four got together and a called meeting which was attended by large number of fans. The result has been satisfactory, and the game will be continued at the same old stand Presi- dent Clarke said that he would withhold the customary ante-season claim about winning the pennant, as things have been in very precarous condition, and then, too there are a couple of newcomers this season who should have the first right to the claim. He will wait until Jackson, Meridian and Hattiesburg an- nounce themselves as pennant winners, then he will issue a new declaration in this line of ante-season claims
 At a meeting of Vicksburg Baseball as- sociation directors the resignation of Frank T. Barber, president. and R. Well, director were accepted. Al Fischel, one of the prime movers in keeping the game going In Vicksburg, was chosen president. Messrs. Barber and Well, in view of heir past services and efforts, were chosen as honorary members. The lineup will be about as follows: | Pitchers, Schwenck, Spalding, Hutson, Maloney. Mayer and Hottum; catchers. Belt and Wagner; first base, Hackett; second base. Goode or Murphy; shortstop, Hagle; third base, Toner or Golde out tielders, Wagner, Kimloch and Bartlett.

 From the fertile land of dope, Cincin- natl and its environs. come two items which. if true. are of interest to Dixie landom. The first Is the statement made by Jack Ryder, in the Cincinnati En- quirer, that Charley Frank has signed Dan Magoon to play second base for the Pelicans this year
 The Louisville Post has another tip that Charley Frank has signed old Perry Werden to play first base. Perry was with Frank at Memphis two years ago, and was pretty good player, in addition to being a fine field captain.

Jack Ryder, baseball editor of the Cin- cnnatl Enquirer of Saturday, has made an attack on President Kavanaugh of the Southern League, in which he claims that the President has deserted the cause of the minor leagues and gone over to the tent of Ban Johnson in an alleged attempt to break up the National association. The article Is as follows:
 'The strain ot the struggle has evil dently told on the Minor Leaguers and there Is friction In the ranks. Some think that an attempt is being made by the American League. or rather by Ban Johnson to break up the National asso- ciation. Certainly the considerable pro- gress has been made in arousing feelings of disgust and jealousy among the mem bers. It is known that trouble exists be- tween President Pat Powers and Attor- ney Griffiths. At least they try not to pass by, so that they won't have to speak.
 Tt is freely charged by many that Judge Kavanaugh, president of the Southern league has been moved by the attentions of Ban Johnson. and Is no

INDIANA MAGNETIC SPRINGS
That State Boasts of Three Wells
Whose Waters Impart Strange
Property to Steel Objects.

A reputable scientific publication is
gponsor for the statement that there ex-
ist In at least three places In the state
of Indiana springs or wells whose water
possesses marked magnetism and Is
able to impart It to steel objects dipped
therein. This property has been re-
ported OF other springs In various parts
OF the world, but such tales have been
received by scientific men with caution,
saws Success. In this case the magnet
ism seems to arise from the fact that
considerable quantities OF carbonate Of
iron are dissolved In the water. When
It stands for some time this decomposes
into carbonic acid gas, which escapes,
and magnetic iron ovide, which falls to
the bottom OF the containing vessel as
powder. When the decomposition has
ceased, the water is no longer magnetic.
These springs are said to cause percepti-
BILE deviation of compass needle, and a
knife blade immersed for five minutes
In one of the springs is magnesized suf-
ficientIy to sustain needles by its point

has all decomposed, can be used with
