LEAGUE DISCUSSES
 DROPPING TEAMS
PEOPLE INTERESTED IN WHETH. ER LITTLE ROCK AND SHREvE- PORT WILL BE IN THE SOUTH. ERN LEAGUE,

The most absorbing topic in Southern league circles is the action of the mem bers of the Little Rock association of fering to sell the franchise of that city. Some doubt the sincerity of the offer, and believe that 1t is only bluff to get the street car company to come to time and build track to the park, a distance of about two blocks.
 No matter what may be the intention, nothing has stirred up the baseball situa- ton as much in the south in years. A number of cities are after the franchise of Little Rock as are several municipali- ties seeking to replace Shreveport, which will undoubtedly leave the league if Lit tie Rock drops out.
 A number of cities can be found to take the franchises held by Shreveport and Little Rock but the main question Is who can be secured to lead the league as has been done by President Kavanaugh for so many years? Judge Kavanaugh at the Memphis meeting announced his in- tention not to accept the presidency of the league if Little Rock was not in the circuit. In fact, he stated that he
 
 home town not member.
 There are several good men connected with the game in the south who would make good executive officers, but there are few men who could fill Judge Kay naugh's shoes should he resign the high office he now holds. This is known to the club owners, who have protited by the wise and judicious executive ability of the Little Rosk leader, and they will do all in their power to have him re- nai at the head of the league, even if Little Rock should drop out, which Is doubted by many
 Shreveport has franchise, it Is true. regardless of what action is taken by Lit tie Rock, and can remain in the league. This is true. but would such an invest ment be profitable? It is rather safe wager to state that if Little Rock goes Shreveport will follow suit, and instead of the Travellers and Pirates, clubs rep receiving Chattanooga, Mobile, Knoxville or some other city will be seen on the local diamond.

An increase in salary and a contract was requested several days ago of Vice President George W. Wadley. It was re- fused. Then the request was mtde a de- mand, and this, too, the vice president declined to grant. It is said the strike may be inaugurated within twenty-four hours, and that the conductors may go out in sympathy.
 An official of the company says strike would not interfere seriously with the operation of the trains upon their sched- ules.

 been traded to Scranton, Pa, for Gettig, a pitcher infielder and outfielder. who played for a short time with Shreveport and then with Baltimore.
 Otto Wagner writes that a young brother of his has signed with Nashville for next year. If Otto remains in Bir- mingham in 1906. and his relative makes good in Nashville the spectacle of broth CTS playing against each other will be again witnessed in the Southern league as in the days of the Delahantys.
 Howard C. Griffths. who with others has been charged with trying to cause dissension in the ranks of the minor leagues, lost his suit for permanent in- junction to restrain the National Asso- citation of Professional Baseball clubs from dropping him from organized base ball.
 Hit, the new pitcher secured by the New York Americans, has been dubbed a second "Rube" Waddell. He will be seen here in the spring with the High flanders.

Little too early for the old boy to sign up for 1sO6" says Sam Next season will likely be LaRocque' s last as a player. He will then turn his attention to handling the indicator. Vaughan has practically agreed to let the veteran umpire the spring games here.
 In a letter to President Baugh of the local association, Arthur Ragan, tre pitcher, expresses his desire to come to Birmingham at once. Affairs around Cherryvale Kan, are too lonesome to suit him.
 The fates it appears have decreed that Birmingham is to lose Second Baseman Niles. It Is understood that Connie Mack who drafted the lad for his Phil adelphia Athletic crew has decided to use him at second base in stead of Mur- phy. The sleepy town people are little sore on Murphy at present, on account Of costly errors in the worlds championship series. If Niles can outplay Murphy he is the wonder of the year. If not, he will be back fin Birmingham.
