Governor w. d. Jelks succeeded in reach

USE OF rubber" BALLS
NOT CHARGED TO FRANK

In writing a general defense of Presi-
dent Kavanaugh, the Arkansas Gazette
declares openly, boldly and without cir
cumlocution that neither Billy Smith of
Atlanta, nor Dominick Mullaney of Mont
gomery. who have INDUCED in a great
amount of "hot air. anent the alleged
use of rubber" balls by Charlie Frank,
has even mentioned or minated such
charges to the leagues official head. This
article is so positive, In fact that 1t is
safe to say that its contents are made
up from information CLEANED from the
president himself Therefore, If the state
ments are true. Billy Smith has talked
too much and done too little, and has a
case of cold feet, as has been intimated.
Why Smith should have made SO many
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-07-20

verbal charges, and then taken no Of
fetal action, Is strange.
The same article refers to the criticism
that President Kavanaugh has dealt too
leniently with Breitenstein, and states
that the only official information re-
ceived at headquarters was contained in
a letter from Manager Babb. who stated
that the newspaper accounts OF the affair
were greatly exaggerated.
The article contains two pieces of val
liable information. In the first place,
through the paper which might be termed
the leagues official organ comes the bold
statement that Billy Smith has not taken
formal action relative to the rubber
ball matter. and that Manager Babb
sided against his own player in behalf Of
a man from New Orleans. Do these state
ments prove that Smith has cold feet?
Do these statements prove that Babb Is
Influenced much by the New Orleans man.

KAVANAUGH SEVERELY.
REBUKES MANAGER FRANK

The letter that Judge Kavanaugh, pres
ident of the league, wrote to Manager
Frank concerning the Breitenstein Carey
diamond scrap which occurred in Memphis
several days ago. is an ideal one, In ev-
cry respect. The president states that
the newspaper reports received by him
differ materially from those made by
the managers, and for that reason he Is
compelled to act He regrets that Frank
did not suspend the player voluntarily,
which he alleges Breitenstein deserved. He
states, too, that had Breitenstein been a
regular Southern league official, his SER
vices would be no longer needed The
letter is as follows:
