PULLIAM PROMISES FIGHT

New York, october 29-Rumors of the formation of a third major league; ru- mors of protests from the Pacific coast league against the rule which declares outlaws all players who join the clubs Of that league for the winter season, and rumors of a dozen other sensations marked the opening of Che annual meet ing of the National Association of Pro fessional Baseball Leagues in this city , today.
 Practically nothing was accomplished at the opening session and after two or three addresses the secretary's report and tees, the meeting was adjourned until to- morrow, presumably for the purpose of discussion among the warning factions with the idea of getting them together on the disputed points
 At the meeting President Powers an- nounced that the association was in ex- eellent shape and that the season had been successful one. He referred to the rumors of the formation of third major league, but stated that the national officers had no intimaton of such plan and he did not believe there was anything In 1t.
 Harry Pullam. president of the Nation al league, who was present by invitation, made a brief speech, in which he went over the present baseball situation. He said he did not object to the major league players playing in California after the close of the major league seasons.
 Referring to the rumor of the forma ton of new major league, he said that if the flag of disloyalty to the National association was raised the loyal leagues would be found sodly arrayed against It, and any such effort would be fought to q finish.
 The secretary's report showed that there are 30 leagues affiliated with the as sociaton, comprising 195 clubs represent ing 244 cities and 1900 players.

 After remaining in New Orleans a few days, MT. Strang decided to re- turn to Birmingham, and to that end gave up the California trip.

bilt defeated Kentucky by about the same score that Sewanee defeated Alabama. Considering Vanderbilt stronger than Se- vance Kentucky would have a tritie the advantage over Ala bama. However. as is known, little confidence can be placed in comparative scores.
 For the first time this season Birming- ham football enthusiasts will have an opportunity to view the material of Ala baina, and witness it's form and manner of attack. Supporters of Alabama and Auburn will go to see the game with the special object of comparing Alabama 3 strength with Auburn's. Auburn, as is re- membered, appeared in Birmingham some time back with Sewanee.

Lewis strana's Ambition.

His ambition is to establish mile record for circular track in fifty sec onds, and that he returns to Birming- ham is evidence sufficient that he be- lieves he can accomplish the feat.
 The thousands of Jefferson county people who saw Strang circle the mile track during the recent fair in fifty one and three- quarter seconds, believe that he can make still better time Strang is now accustomed to the course will not be worried with the dust as during his last race, and will have more confidence. His managers, William Pickens and Homer George. de- clared their positive belief that he will circle the track November in fifty seconds fiat.
 Those who saw the gigantic car fly ing about the Birmingham course, who remember it's rumble and the sparks of fire that flashed continually will learn the above news with a great deal of pleasure. In addition to the mile race, Christie will try for every record from one to ten miles. In addition. there will be other events for local. state and southern owners of automobiles.
 Strang is now en route to Birming- haf

Homer George Talks.

"The factsthat the Birmingham track is the fastest in the world is the req son for the return of Strang and the Christie car" said Homer George last night. There is not the slightest doubt but that miles will be made here fast CT than on any mile track ever built, and we are all confident that Strang will do the distance in fifty seconds flat. That Is what he is returning for, and nothing else.
 Before 1 left New Orleans he was the most enthusiastic driver imagina- ble and laughingly, though firmly, re- mark ed that he would make fifty sec onds or smash himself and car in the attempt. The track will stand the speed he is firmly convinced. He des not expect an accident. He left to- night and will arrive in Birmingham Wednesday to prepare for the on- slanphf n oninSt time.

Manager Barnes Enthusiastic.

Manager Barnes Enthusiastic.
 At the fair grounds today Manager Barnes was enthusiastic over the pros- poets of having a mile done in fi<y seconds He says he knows this is the fastest track ever built and will feel highly gratified when 1t Is shown beyond a doubt In talking of it's speed he told of the scratching of en- tries by a prominent Pensacola horse man. This man had three fast horses entered in various events. but after looking over the track quietly paid his fees, scratched and went away
 "Only a few days ago did any one learn why he scratched. and then he told crowd that he did so because the Birmingham track was so fast his horses would secure marks that would make them useless for racing at other southern tracks. MT. Christie was as favorably impressed with the track as Strang and the horseman. and is sure his car will beat the mark he is after.
