Little Rock, Mad 31.-(special)- )-When President Knyanaugh was asked today concerning the Billy Smith case, the eS- ocutivo replied that no definite decision had been reached, However t has been
 ntlmated by close friends of President Kavanaugh that Smiths request to be made a non-playlng manager will be nl- lowed in this case the rules of the league regarding asking waivers being suspend ed.
 When the affair first came up, 1t was taken as an excellent opportunity to have some fun with Smith, and with the ex- ception of the Atlanta manager himself, all of the team leaders throughout the circuit were wise to the game. However, Smith was really worried, and the excel lent "stallo made by Manager Frank of the New Orleans, added sincerity to the plot However, Smith was allowed to carry fourteen players besides himself, and the league decision was deferred as being part of the game. Smith really did not violate the spirit of the league rule limiting the number of players 10 fourteen, as his sole object in signing up as a player was to secure coaching line privileges until May 10.
 However, under the strict interpreta-

COLUMBUS WANTS ACE STEWART OF MERIDIAN TO MANAGE HER TEAM IN PLACE OF WRIGHT. MONTGOMERY ENGAGED.

Meridian, Miss, May 31.-(special.)- President John H. ONeil of the local baseball association left Meridian this aft ernoon for Columbus to perfect deal whereby Meridian will secure Collins and Huber in exchange for Stewart and Dur meyer. It is understood that President Stacy Compton has requested President ONeil to let Columbus have Ace Stew art, who is wanted to manage that team The local association is willing to swap stewart and Durmeyer for Orth Collins and Huber. Huber is considered the fast est shortstop in the league, while Collins is known to be the heaviest hitting field CT. It is not believed they will consent to release Stewart under any other con- ditions just at present. The local asso- citation has also made Jackson an offer for Sallard who Is to be displaced as manager of that team by Roy Montgom- cry of Birmingham.

ton of the rules of the league, he would have been compelled te seeure waivers on himself before he could be released from hls playing contract He asked for waivers, but naturally Charley Frank, AS well as several other managers In the league, refused 10 waive. When in Little Rock for tho series with Finn's men Smith denied the whole affair. but 1t WAS easily seen that he was worried not little about 1t.
 Now that the game has been played to the limit. Smith Is likely to be relieved of his anxiety for President kavanaugh sizes up the matter as follows: Smith is just as much a non-playing manager as Charley Frank, Mike Finn and Harry Vaughn, as he had not participated in a game this year. Consequently, to make him release a player in order to con- form to the member limit would be mani- festly unfair. Consequently Smith will be made non-playing manager, and allowed to continue to carry fourteen players. However, this stipulation will be added: Smith will not be allowed to take part in any game or go on the coaching lines, as he would doubtless have done in case of emergency. Thus while the league rules are apparently suspended in deciding his case, Smith Is really getting none the best of 1t.

Madison Wis, May a.-The University of Wisconsin crew won the eight-oared boat race with Syracuse on Lake Men dota this evening and the Wisconsin freshmen defeated the St Johns Milaca eight. Syracuse won the four-oared race with Wisconsin. The races did not take place until after sundown on account of choppy seas. A seventeen mile wind was blowing from the east nearly all aft ernoon and the coaches were afraid to let the crews venture out. About o'clock the breeze died down somewhat and all though the lake was still rough, the freshmen race was started.
 It was nearly dark when the varsity eights set out for the starting point and the race could not be seen by the spec tators Not until the crews were near ing the mile could the shells be recog- nized and it was then that Wisconsin was leading. The Wisconsin crew rowed in excellent form and were about even for the first mile and a half, although Syracuse had slightly the lead at the start Wisconsin then poked ahead a little and gradually increased the iead. crossing the line about four lengths ahead of Syracuse and covering the two miles

The visitors should be exceedingly easy for the Birmingham Barons. The Poli- cans should be hammered to every corner of the lot, laughed at. and made to reveal the yellow streak that has always been a characteristic of the bunch. The fans know what to expect when the New Or leans team comes to town. The umpires, too, prepare for trouble. It is hoped however, that on this trip the Pelcans will break their record, and be good.

 Memphis opens In Montgomery today. The Pretzels had a comparatively easy time with the Travellers of Little Rock. Memphis was severely beaten by Atlanta. As Montgomery seems to be "comlng' mighty strong just now, 1t is probable that Memphis will find hard rows in that burg. Little Rock goes to Atlanta. The Travellers are a trihe weaker than when they played here on account of the Illness of Second Baseman Page.

The last indoor meet of the season was held last night at the Birmingham Ath- letic club representatives from the club and the Y. M. c. A. participating. The meet resulted in victory for the B. A. C. by the score of 6s to 2s. A fair crowd was in attendance. and some of the events proved exciting.
 While the records made were fair they show decided lack of form on the part of a number of the contestants, consider ing the ability of the athletes entered from both organizations. The entrants are all good, but evidently the germ of laziness has got in the system of many of them, and they reveal a disinclination to work. The result of the shot put and pole vault were very good.
 The results follow:

There are too many boys and girls in the country and city, more in the latter than in tie former, who are prone to look up- on work as beneath them. There are thousands of them on the threshold of maturity who re- tained the same views and habits which found encouragement in their earlier years. What be- comes of this class of people: Some of them awaken and after d desperate struggle overcome the habit and learn to work, to save, and to prepare for the in- evitaole rainy day. Many of them however, drift and drift un- til they become acceptable re- cruits in the hobo army. Then they speedily reach the cor : clusion that things are mighty uneqnal in this world; that the advantages are all with the rich and that a poor man has no show.

 How many of our readers can tell us what tie stripes on the barber pole signify? You see the pole with it's stripes and you know there is a barber shop back of the pole, but here the knowl- edge of the average person, ceases. In the early days bar bers did the bleeding for the com- munity and surgeons were not as plentiful as now. The first thing necessary, way down to the time of Geo. Washington's death, was that any patient should be bled. Tap him, and take few ounces from him, no matter how. weak he might be. When Wash ington was at the last grasp, the fools bled him. We'll, the red stripes on a barber pole mean the red ribbon 5andages that barbers bound over the wounds caused by bleeding people. That's all. When they got through with a plethoric man, of full habit and had tapped him like a hard maple tree in February, he was patched up and bandaged till his arms, legs and trunk looked like a much -gartered leg.
