AND SMITH WOULD EVADE
 THE NEWLY ADOPTED 'WAIVER" RULE
Managers Ask for Waivers Bns Manuel Ze Spade and Others Bg Has First Claim Zeer and SpadSoud Baugh Secure Right BaronS2
 Is the Southern League About to Have New Scandal?

What is the scheme of Charlie Frank and Billy Smith?
 They are asking waivers on every man now enumerated in their respective line ups.
 Is there an attempt being made to evade the spirit of the newly inaugurated ruling requiring a Southern league manager to get d wavier from every other manager of the Southern league before farming out player to minor league?
 The ruling is excellent, admittedly so. As is known, when a manager refuses to waive his right, he can obtain said player on paying S4oo in cash. This is the way the ruling body of the league intended for the waiver law to be interpreted.
 When Charlie Frank, manager of the New Orleans club, asked waivers on Fritz and a young twirler there was lit tie surprise. When he asked waivers on Cristall, there was some surprise, but still the fans about the league did not smell a rat in Denmark" Yesterday, however, when Frank asked waivers on Breitenstein, Manuel, Guese and Phil lips, every fan opened wide his eyes, and wondered. It is not to be considered that Frank intends getting rid of his entire pitching staff
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-04-24

Imagine, the surprise of the fans, how ever. when following Franks last request for waivers. there came a request from Billy Smith asking waivers on his entire pitching staff inclusive of zeller, Spade, Rowan and Ford.
 The fans could not swallow the sugges- tion that either of these managers intends getting out of the league.
 Little Rock has asked for certain waiv CTS, but Finn was honest in his intention of allowing other managers to pay the salaries of the men whom he cared no longer to hold. He has got rid of all these men, and right now is carrying thirteen, one less than the stipulated limit
 Other clubs, too, have honestly asked for waivers including Montgomery.
 Secures Local Club.
 So fast came these requests for waivers, and so surprised was President Baugh that requests for waivers were made on some of the best men in the league that he sat down in his office chair a moment, and thought it out. He then saw that an attempt was being made to dodge this new and excellent ruling of the league.
 President Baugh thereupon wrote Pres ident Kavanaugh, stating that an attempt was being made to make a laughing stock of the new and excellent ruling. Presi- dent Baugh intimated that President

kavanaugh must have noted this fact, himself inasmuch as when a manager asks for waivers such requests are for mally issued from the presidents office
 President Baugh suggested to President Kanvanaugh that 1t might be well for Birmingham to ask for waivers on it's entire team. If these waivers were granted, then Birmingham could farm" out any whom it pleased, or do anything else with them that it saw fit 1t might be that President Baugh will ask for some waivers himself although there has never been a desire locally to circumvent any ruling of the league, old or recent.
 Claims Teller and Spade.
 The letter to President Kavanaugh was mailed Realizing that a telegram would reach the leagues president before this letter could President Baugh immediate ly telegraphed.
 He claimed Teller, Spade. Breitenstein and Manuel.
 Soon a telegram was received from President Kavanaugh stating that Bir- mngham's claim on Teller and Spade was the first filed. and that the claim on Brit enstein and Manuel was second. He did not state who had filed the first claim on these stars of the Pelican pitching staff.
 It seems that the league is destined to have a scandal after all, and as is gen orally the case, 1t starts at New Orleans and Atlanta

Every hit that the Barons made yester- day scored a run, and the last game of the Birmingham-Nashvil series was taken by the locals, the final score being 8 to 1.
 Wilhelm was on the slab for the Bar ons, and as always, the visiting team found it impossible to connect when hits meant runs. Nashville secured six safe swats off Wilhelm, and Birmingham got but three off Elmer Duggan.
 The game was the fastest of the season, having been finished in one hour and twelve minutes. It was eXcellently played, too. the Barons going through nine innings without an error Nashvilles s errors did not figure in the run getting There were several brilliant stunts ex- ecuted during the game, one of the bright est being the great catch of Doc" Wise man, which robbed Molesworth of a triple.
 Montgomerys Hit.
 The Barons got busy in the very first inning Molesworth lined one stihy over first, but went out Smith was given base on balls, but Gardner's inheld hit to short forced him out at the keystone. Gardner, thereupon took the reins in his teeth and dug for second. He stole the bag. Montgomery, following at the bat. flied over first. and the fly turned out to be a Texas leaguer As soon as the ball was hit into the air Gardner began running for him, and because he did not stop he made the first score of the game.
 Nashville tied the score in the second inning. Mccormick got an int1eld hit, and was neatly sacrified to second. Hardy s .f e.falfn and the ball went flying through the heart of the diamond, being stopped finally by. Molesworth Mccormick scored.
 Gardner's Hit.
 In the third inning the Barons got their second run. Molesworth was given base on balls, and as Wilhelm's strikeout had obviated the possibility of a sacrifice, the hefty centertielder went down for second and landed safe. Smith went out from Duggan to first, and Molesworth next drew rein on third. Gardner ap preached the stick, and the first ball that came over the plate he smashed 1t to deep right-center going two bags, Molesworth scored.
 In the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh innings Nashville found Wilhelm but one hit an inning, with some one down, netted nothing. In the third and fourth innings the visitors went out in one, two, three order, and this was the programme in the eighth and ninth, too.
 Walters Hit.
 In the fourth inning the Barons scored the third and final score of the game. As in the other cases a hit came when most needed. Walters turned the trick in this instance.
 The inning was begun with a walk ex tended to Alcock. Lister neatly sacrificed ~ ft1t third to first Walters hit the ball on the nose, and it took wings over Third Baseman McElveen's head. It fell safe. Alcock hustled home with the last tally. There was no more hitting and no more run getting.
 The work of the Barons especially pleased the fans. The locals stole two bases, and these steals resulted in two runs. The Barons played the sacrifice game to queens taste, The Barons, too, hit the ball when hits were needed. They played errorless in the field.
