Why McGraw Left Birmingham !.

The Birmingham people are sore on McGraw and Brush for Jumping out Of day. The AgeHerald reprints the fol- lowing from The Memphis News-Scim- itar which may be taken to represent McGraw's idea of why he left Birming- ham:,
 Manager McGraw will keep his New York team in this city for the remain der of the week. He planned to spend this time in Birmingham, but circum-- stances over which he has no control interfered with hisf plans.
 ITO state it frankly, the Giants think they got a cold deal in Birmingham.
 And a newspaper man was respon- sible for 1t.
 Last year, 1t will be we'll remem- bered--for the affair was thoroughly aired--the New York team and the wis., iting newspaper men were paid every attention in Birmingham. A reception was given the ball team and this was attended by the newspaper men.
 About this reception remarkable stories were sent the New York pa pers. One scribe in particular sent In a bit of fiction to the effect that he overheard two young ladies convers- ing and that he listened because he was attracted by the peculiarities of that he heard one girl say that she had participated in the lynching of a nc- gro and had even set off the fire by which negro was burned to death
 Birmingham people were insulted that such a story should be published and they served notice that the news paper man who sent 1t had better not appear in Birmingham again-and he did not.
 "The Birmingham people. howevIr, took out their spite on the members of the New York team, who were in no possible way responsible for the at tack on Birmingham young ladies. and this state of affairs Is given. by those who ought to know, as the reason that

the New York team will finish out it training in Memphis"

the New fOrk team VIII nnlSn out US The Age-Herald adds the following: McGraw's acton shows the gratitude of person who was treated right. Last year the Giants were given every thing that any team could wish; Ir regard to the Athletic Club affair there are two sides to the question, and the clubs side is the bigges: by far. When the Giants arrived in the city went to the club hunting for invita- tions and cards for the members of the team. Without any official power a man b connected meet with the clu6 said ha right. I will fix 1t up with the direc- tors" and on that the members of the team butt" into the club and started dressing room. The members objected. and naturally
 The members of the board of direc- tors had already decided not to invite cause of the happenings last year. One of the newspaper men with McGraws bunch last year sent out reports about Birmingham girls which were false ing to put a stop to these false reports or to check any future stunt of that kind.
 The club could not afford to take the team on faith again, nor trust to the newspaper men not to send out more false reports. On top of all this false reports went out from Montgomery that the Governor was going to have negro convicts chased by blood hounds for the benefit and pleasure of the New York American team. This cinched the matter.
 However, the club in a spirit of fairness sent cards good for three days to the New York team. MT. McGraw was not satisfied, but took a slip out of the city without even so much as saying goodbye" to the Baseball As- sociation, which had certainly treated him right. or to a number of others
 No one objected to the Giants leats- ing Birmingham. T. was the way they left. In fact a majority of the people who are connected with baseball or know anything about 1t are glad that he has folded his tents and departed.

and he was sent to join the Kearsarge in the Carribean Sea and was tried on board that ship, convicted of de- sertion and sentenced to dismissal. The convening authority, Rear Admiral Barker, commander-in-c chief of the North Atlantic fleet. approved the sem tence and forwarded the papers in the case to the department.
 In the meantime the Rev. MT. Ar rowood addressed several communica- tions to the department claiming that his son acted rightly in deserting be- cause, as he said, young Arrowood had not been given just treatment. In be- half of his son he claimed that 1t was impossible for him to lead what the Rev. MT. Arrowood termed a religious life and remain in the service.
 Within the last few days members of the Presbyterian Church have ap- pealed to the President to mitigate the sentence by dismissing Arrowood for absence without leave in order that he might not be de-citizenized. This re- quest was refused because of the fact that Arrowood was found guilty not of absence without leave, but of deser- tiOn.

St. Johns, N. F., March 23.-The New Foundland Government today ordered the customs collectors throughout the island to refuse American fishing ves- sells licenses to procure bait in colonial waters, the government intending to introduce legislation at the session of the Legislature opening next week to enforce the bait act against Americans as stringently as it is now enforced against the French because the Ameri- can Senate buried the BondHay treaty.

Something of Deaver.

The following special from Pine Bluff, Ark, about Walter Deaver, who started the season with the Pretzels last sumner will be interesting to local fans:
 "Waiter H. Denver. who has left with his bride for Savannah, where he will pitch for Bob Fender in the South At lahtic League, was Pine Bluffs pre- mier pitcher last season and helped the locals to win the pennant. Denver was secured in mid-season last year, when Manager Reed was after pitchers to help bring the locals out of last place in the pennant race. Deaver worked in twenty-one games. winning sixteen. These were won at time when games were needed, and he soon became the standby of the locals. Denver works not only with his arm in pitching. but his head as well, and many times he has kept the team behind him from going to pieces by his good judgment at critical points. He Is also handy with the stick and will prove a valu- able acquisition to Tenders bunch. Deaver spent the winter in Pine Bluff and learned the cotton business with S. c. Alexander & Go. He made many friends on the ball field, but more by his earnest attention to business. He will return with his wife at the close of the coming baseball season"

TRUE TO KAVANAUGh
SOUTHERN BASEBALL MEN IT
 STAND BY PRESIDENT.
Will Not Listen to oily Tongue O Howard Grimth-Birmingham
 People Have Grievance
 Against McGraw.

It looks hard that just as the South ern Baseball League Is, through the wise generalship of Judge Kavanaugh getting to be one of the strongest mi nor leagues in the country a lot of irresponsible troublemakers should come along and try to disrupt condi- tions. ....
 There is one sure thing. the Southern League will stand by Judge Kavanaugh and 1t Is more than probable that a big majority of the minors now composing the National Association will repudi- ate Howard Griffith and his rule or ruin policy.
 Morley and some of the coast league people have always inclined to the out law schemes. They are constitutionai- ly "agin the government" Grimth sociation with him, but the Chicago newspaper men who have been m Montgomery with the White Sox for the past few days say that this is un . true They say that the only part Of the American Association that will go with Griffith will be the part controlieo by Tebeau.
 If the story told by the Chicago hstspapt is true. the % Griffith matter is another Chicago scribes, is the attorney of
 Brush of New York and Barney Drey- rus or FllISDuEs, lHcSc tWO hAh6 C. plot to get up a fight with Johnson of the American League.
 Harry Pulliam, President of the Ma tional League, and Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati Club and the leading member of the National Commission, voted with Johnson at the New York meeting when Griffith stupidly turned down his liberal compromise.
 It is believed that in case 1t comes to a pinch Pulliam and Hermann will stick to Johnson and Kavanaugh and with this combination against him Griffith and his cohorts would stand about the chance of q snowball on Court Square in August.
 The result of another war would affect the Southern League seriously,
 for if there are to be any outlaws this summer Southern League men could jump just as Ike Durrett kangarooed
 from Montgomery two years ago:
 With all that, however, it Is believed that the American and National Leagues would throw all the protec- ton possible around the minor leagues who held the stand for organized ball. While another war would be disas- trous, still in the long run there is hardly any doubt that the Griffith party would be utterly crushed.
 Montgomery Is most assuredly. with Kavanaugh and there is no doubt that
 the Southern League. as unit, will stand by the only president that base- ball in this country ever had.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-03-24

1t must mean not only a cash invest ment of $200,000, but bond for three times that amount, for no major league star is apt to join a minor league un- less his future is assured for at least three years. Needless to say, the National League positively is not back of the movement"
