every indication that the Southern and

bine to either boycott the major league
clubs next spring or hold them up for rent

Memphis started the boycott by trying

cities, however, personal enmity on the
part OF Managers Ball and Frank is given
as the cause. But the movement has be-
come general, as Atlanta has given out that
it will wait until next spring before closing
with the Clevelands for the use of the
grounds there, although Manager Lajoie
wanted a thTee-year lease.
In the South Atlantic League, the local

intimated that they are not enthusiastic re-

ments of your girl friends Is very

to the girls themselves the first year
they are out, but he second and
third year it is not SO agreeable.
One young man, who seems to be
an inveterate slave of this private

the madelictions of his feminine
friends upon his head, when he goes
visiting, by saying: Let me see, how
old is Mabel getting to be now? Oh.

II is an exceptionally good rate OF pay
