PROSPECTS FOR 1908
MANY OLD MEN LEFT TO THE
 MONTGOMERY TEAM.
Today Marks Close of Southern League Season, and All the Teams are Already Figuring on
 Next Year.

Today winds up the Southern League season and by tomorrow night several of the local players will have left for their homes. From now until the vio- lets bloom next spring. plans all over the South will be laid for the cam Paign of 1908.
 The indications are that in manage rial circles there will hardly be a change next year Charlie Frank in New Orleans, Tom Fischer in Shreve- port, Mike Finn in Little Rock. Billie Smith in Atlanta, Charlie Babb in Memphis, and John Dobbs in Nashville are reasonably sure to handle those teams again.
 There has been much talk about Birmingham getting somebody in Harry Vaughn's place and of Mont gomery getting somebody in John Ma larky's place.
 Malarky has done remarkably well, when everything is taken into consid- eration and with the authority that should be given to any baseball man ager, Malarky would have had his team up in the first division instead of next to the bottom. No arrangements have as yet been made in Montgomery, but if Malarky is given @ free hand next year, and with an intelligent handling of that part of baseball with which he nus nOLHlnB to QOp IL DIE OQQS InttL the season of 1908 will prove highly successful, both from a playing and financial standpoint.
 Next years manager has a founda- tion for winning team, thirteen men being already under contract for next year.. In the outfield there are Houtz, Henline and Nadeau-and if his health is all right by next year. Sam Ap- perious, the fastest outfielder in the South, will probably be back.
 In the infield there are Perry, the peer of any third baseman ing the South. Baxter and Wye Neal Balls place will have to be filled, and there may be other changes in the infield.
 In the box there will be Malarky, Weems. Maxwell and Helm. Walsh having stated that he would not be in Montgomery next year. Robinson, the the only man so far for the back stop department, Hauson stating yes terday that he would not play in Mont gomery another year.
 There will be two new men to be tried for the infield. Wohllehen and Pope, the first baseman and shortstop bought from Macon If anything is to be done 1t Is to be hoped that Ii wont be put off until only the leav- ings are available, as has been the case with Montgomery for some years baseball as in everything else. and with a good start, a well handled as- sociatlon and a manager who Is all lowed to manage, everything will be
 Let's all get together and pull for a winning team and a successful sea son in 1908.

UPTON TOTRY AGAIN
ENGLIsHMAN CHALLENGES FOR
 AMERICAN CUP.
The Royal Yacht Club WiII Send sham rock The F0drfh to Sail Against The American
 HOmf.

London. Sept. 1S-s:05 p. m. Sir Thomas Lipton will make another at- tempt in 1908 to regain the Americas cup for Great Britain.
 The announcement was made this afternoon by Sir Thomas in London and by the Secretary of the Royal Irish Yacht Club at Dublin. The challenge which goes to the New York Athletic Club in the name of the Royal Yacht Club was mailed from Dublin today.
 The details for the challenge were arranged when Sir Thomas visited Dub- lin recently in the course of 6 cruise around the British isles on board the Erin. He told friend months ago of his intention to challenge, but having until the end of September to take action, he deferred challenging until the eleventh hour not being desirous of giving the American yachtmen more time than necessary to make prepara- tions for defending. the cup they hav- ing, 1t Is claimed. a great advantage in it being necessary for the chaI- longing yacht to cross the Atlantic.
 Sirs Thomas admitted that the Royal irish Yacht Club was challenging in his behalf and that a cable dispatch would be sent to the New York Yacht Club from Dublin today advising the Americans that a challenge for the Americas cup would be forwarded on the Umbria which will touch at Queens town Sunday But be decilend to dis- cuss the matter in its present shape. preferring to wait until his challenge has been accepted
 From other sources 1t was learned that Fife wil be asked to design the challenger if he is not already at work on the model of Shamrock VI for that is to be the new yachts name.

TO MEET ABOUT NOVEMBER lST| Legislature Will Hold
 Special Session. THAT IS CAPITOL OPINION Believed That Governor Will Act
 About October Ist.
Officials Are Not TaIixing For Publica- ton, But Evidently Are Looking For Meeting of The Law
 Makers.

Unless there is very decided change In present relations between the rail- roads and the State, a special session of the Legislative bodies will be called Conner, on october 1. the legislative bodies to meet thirty days after that time. as provided by the State Con- stitution.
 State house officials, almost as a unit. believe that the extra session will be called. So far as can be learned no one except the Governor has definite knowledge of the plans to be followed, put those most interested are keeping mum, and the gathering of attorneys and legislative officials in dicates that an important conference is to be held at the Governors suite upon his return to the city.
 It is not Believed that the Governor has employed any of his time during his sojourn in New York and Atlantic City in laying plans for his course of action in the event radical steps done this, some officials have fore stalled his intentions, and are prepared for the proclamation ordering special session of the Legislative bodies.
 It is not believed that the Governor will recede from the position taken when the injunctions were filed against the State In the Federal court, restrain luK Iue SldI6 ITOku ChLQICRu& hhO LOSCh@ tariff legislation. At that time the wording of his ultimatum was unmis- takable, that every, railway official who charges more than the rate pro- vided for in the Legislative act, can be placed under arrest, despite the injunction of the Federal Court. In his latest statement, however. this statement was not repeated. and there sounded a less intolerant spirit mani fest, as to this point
 All roads have made formal answer to the notification of the passage of the act regulating passenger, and freight rates in Alabama. All but four of these declared that they will abide by the law. The remaining four put the State on notice that they will not abide by the State law. some of these notifications having been re- ceived but ten days ago. This leaves the case, as far as these roads are con cerned. just where they were when the Governor issued hiB untimattum.
