Montgomery, February 25.-The South ern League of baseball clubs held It's spring meeting here today. It fixed tho schedule for the games of the season or 1905 and adopted rule prohibiting man agers from signing non-reserve contracts. The most important business transacted was the adoption of the report of the schedule committee, composed of Pres ident Kavanaugh, Charley Frank ana Newt Fisher. The proposed schedule or President Kavanaugh was adopted with only few changes.
 Contrary to expectations the case or Billy Phyle was not brought before the meeting. Phyle, 1t will be remembered, was third baseman on the Memphis l9OS champions At the close of the season he alleged that Atlanta players threw games to Memphis to beat Little Rock out of the pennant He did not appear before the meeting to substantiate his charges, and was suspended.
 The most radical change in the affairs of the league made today was the chang ing of the guarantee fund from $4OO0 to sSOOO. This will require each club to put up twice the amount of money heretofore deposited in the league treasury.
  hibiting managers from hiring players on non-reserye contracts. Among many or the managers it has been the custom to secure the services of some excellent player for a single season, leaving hlm foot loose to sign with whom he pleased This custom could only be followed by the larger cities in the league, and worked a hardship on the others. According to the rule adopted today players signing non aha he el1SDanQed. the managers heavily fined.
