When the sun that smiles from the
east at this hour. hides its face in the
darkness of the west, the present season
of the Southern League Baseball associa-
tion will have numbered itself with
the things gone before-with the yester-
days.
Tomorrow the fan will stare blankly,
knowing not what to do, or what should
be done. He is as the man left alone
with memory-to think but not to act,
to look but not to Sc. His friends have
departed, the moths have corrupted his
treasure, and the thieves have broken
into steal.
And now, on this, the last MORN while
standing beside the dying season. pre-
pared to bid a long farewell to him we
hailed SO merrily, it is our bounden duty
to direct his heavy and glazed windows
to the April resurrection, with the posi-
tive assertion that Birmingham will re-
main the same throughout all ages, that
the youngster of next year will find the
local fans hearty and steadfast. with
happy welcome and glad hand.
Since the reorganization of the present
Southern league, no season has been as
successful as this we see die today.
Birmingham wins pennant!
But this is not all. The season. as
far as the Barons are concerned. has
been free of all scandals. all tricks and
treachery all misunderstanding, all row.
dyism all things distasteful. The PEN
nant was won, as all should be, by means
of clean tactics and inside baseball work
ings Top all this with the fact that the
fans have made money for the associa-
ton, and the reason why birmingham mas
had its most successful season is ex-
planned
The Magic City was blessed with gen.
tlemanly set of ball players. men who
went into game with the sole idea of
winning, and winning squarely. The fans
owe this present aggregation much. Not
only has 1t landed rag, thus making
Birmingham first of all but 1t has tur
nished the rarest exhibition of the great
est sport that the country knows, and
served 1t up clean.
The farewell of the fans to the big
man who managed, and the players VINO
worked and landed, is one deeper and
more kind than words can convey. IL IS
one of those inexpressible things which
man must satisfy himself with feeling.
1t has no outward and visible form. A
word carries with 1t no meaning. A hand
shake, a gesture typif1es nothing. 1t
can only be felt. Those for whom 1t is
felt have the same in return So both
sides are even.
It has been a great season, from the
eastern shores of Georgia to the bayous
of Louisiana. 1t has been a typical sea-
SON. Great sport has been presented The
usual schemes have been worked. The
usual number of scandals have been
sprung and dropped. The usual number of
charges and countercharges, insinuations
and inuendoes have been made and for

SAYING GOODBYE

gotten. The season was one thoroughly
alive From one corner of the big lot to
the other the sporting writer's have kept
busy, the one supporting this much hui
inflated man and abusing yonder mon
ster; this one nursing a wounded hero
and f1inging stones at him who shot the
arrow.
And now all this is forgotten. The past
is quietly burying its Dead preparing the
field for other victims and other slaugn-
ter Those who in mid-season promised
themselves a gloat and a sneer, when the
chance offered itself. are quietly smiling,
forgetting the long-written document that
would have been balm healing all the
stings. There is no gloating. Everybody
is bidding everybody goodbye. Everybody
is extending the glad hand to everybody.
1t Is an ideal day, after ALL There is
much regret, true, but at the same time
everyone has nothing but his best for
everybody else, and the few frowns are
bravely given the count in the countless
number of broadening smiles
Next season we will have 1t all over
again.
Charlie Frank will scheme and slip and
slide, only to be discovered by writers
In Atlanta Billy Smith will make OF him.
self laughing stock just often as he
did this season. Otto Jordan will beef
next year and Jakey Atz will scowl up
If everyone was ignorant of the fact that
ne wouldn't, even if he could. Birining-
ham will play the same old steady game,
and will again land the pennant. Mont
gomery will have scandal, and get rid
of Mullaney Mique Finn will scheme and
threaten for Little Rock and never get
out of the second division. DUSTY" Mil
Ter will cause a row here and skirmsh
there. Memphis with Mr.. Babb at its
head will make another game fight for
pennant. Shreveport will start off brave
and fall low again.
Yes, we say, goodbye, but only for
time. Everything that we have seen, heard
of and read will be presented again. Base
ball is a comedy that from season to sea-
son never changes its costume. Even It's
jokes are the same.
Therefore, anyone who takes the game
seriously, who sleeps with this PROPOSE
ton, and talks that at the breakfast
table. is tagged for the bug house" For
him there is absolutely no salvation.
Today we simply turn leaf. The story
is continued in "our next"

discussed proposition of his resignation
was given out and denied
It is remembered that when last Presi-
dent Kavanaugh was in Birmingham, the
report got abroad that he had stated
that he would not again be president Of
the league. Before commenting on this
rumor, The Age-Herald queried the presi-
dent, the result being that 1t was stated
that the man concerned was not respons-
ible for any such rumors. This story The
Age-Herald published.
Now. however, Judge Kavanaugh finds
all opposition to his reelection wiped out.
Birmingham will give him the glad hand,
and the vote of this member of the
league is his when he makes his new
stand for another term as the leagues
official head.

one, HE who tears down for the joy OF
il. or for the attention he may draw to-
wards himself, should himself be torn
down. But he who points to the evils OF
the time and indicates how they may be
remeded, he who points to the bad that
is being done and the good that may
be done, he, we believe. will take his

Double-Header Today.

The season will go out in birmingham
after a double-header this afternoon. As
the day is Saturday, as the day Is the last
day of the season. and as a double-header
will be pulled Off 1t is safe prediction
that the attendance will be enormous.
The first game will be called at 2 o'clock
and the second will be begun immediate
ly after the conclusion of the first. Brun-
er, the Cotton States recruit, who was
recently annexed to the local staff, will
twirl in the first game, while his oppo-
nent will be the long Keith. In the sec
ond game the fans will see the redoubt-
able Tripping" Rip Ragan in action for
the last time this season. Allan will OPP
pose him and be beaten.
When the afternoon is ended, 1t matters
not whether the Barons have won both
games or split the double-header, the sea-
son will have reached its finale, and the
Rarons will have won pennant The rag
will not be floated Immediately after the
game, but II will have been won, just the
same. The awarding of the rag will oe-
cur at the next meeting of the league d.
rectors which will take place in the
spring.

Travellers Ascend.

After the first two innings had passed
over without incident, Castro alone be-
Ing able to hit Brady safely, the Barons
got busy in the third and piled up three
scores, two of them being a result of the
famous squeeze" play
Garvin started off with a bingle. Sallee
went out, but Wordsworth was passed.
Smith bingled to right and Garvin scored,
the runner taking second on the throw in.
As only one was out, Vaughn gave the
signal for the squeeze" Montgomery
hunted neatly to the infeld and Moles-
worth was brought across the rubber
without a scratch. Then Smith. without
drawing rein at second. made dash for
the rubber and landed safely.
In the fourth there was nothing doing
for the locals, Walters double to right
amounting to little, as 1t came after two
were dowr. In the fifth, two other scores
were made. Salee started the ball to
rolling with a safety to center Moles-
worth famed, but Smith hit safe and
stole second. From third. Sallee was
fetched home by the squeeze" success
fully worked by Montgomery. Smith
scored from third when Meeks smashed
a safe one to center The last run was
made In the sixth Castro led off with
single. and when Brady pitched the ball
so wildly that 1t went out of the lot, he
made a circle of the paths, and scored
without hindrance.

The visitors had but one chance to score,

Birmingham defeated Little Rock yes
terday afternoon in slow and uninter-
esting game. The final score was Birming-
ham 6, Little Rock 0.
Salee was on the slab for the locals and
Manager thinner sent Brady in to OPP
pose him. Both twirlers pitched talr
article of ball, but the local man out
shone his clever rival Sallee yielded the
visitors but four hits while Brady was
found for twice as many. Both men were
effective as strike-out artists, the num-
bers of famed men to the credit OF each
being an even half dozen.
There was little feature to the game In
the third inning the Barons brought into
existence a great play, an application
of the famous Squeeze whereby In
stead of one man scoring, two were
brought across the rubber. Montgomery
again starred as fielder, while Castro
was especially clever in the use of the
stick.
