LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Year Begins cheerulIy, With Good
Advances.

London, January 5.-The year began
cheerfully on the stock exchange. Bus
mess was moderately active this week
and there was a good all-round advance
In prices. The chief influence was the
Unexpectedly easier condition of the
money market, which induced dealers
to mark up quotations in anticipation
of revival Of public support, while
expectations of an early reduction of
the bank rate brought fresh support
for consols and first-class securities
generally, resulting In a substantial
gain at one point on the week for the
first named security. There also were
small advances In other directions.
Americans received less attention
than usual. The diversity of expert
opinion in Wall street regarding the
future course OF the market. together
with uneasiness regarding the outcome
of the inquiry of the interstate COM
merce commission into the administra-
tion of the Hartman group of rail-
roads, caused operators here to work
cautiously. Dear money, combined
with the liquidation In Union Pacific
and Reading during the greater part of
the week. checked the efforts of the
bulls to put UP prices; but easier
monetary conditions yesterday, coupled
with the expectation of a good New
York bank statement today, caused the
week to finish firmly, with prices frac-
tionally dearer on the balance.

AS a national issue, that one thing
which affects baseball most vitality is the
! passing of the outlaw league. And, ac-
cording to the schedule, the outlaws go
out of existence this week.
The recalling of the black sheep into
| the fold of organized baseball means that
peace will reign from one end of the ma
| ton to the other. There will be no terri
tory to which an unruly player can flee
with his disgruntled feelings, and on this
account the several magnates need not
longer fear a blow in the back IN sea-
son calm and peaceful
The national commission meets tomor-
row in New York. The session will last
for three days, and when those three
days have elapsed the outlaw league will
have become a member of the organized
, circuit of baseball leagues, owning the
national commission as its head. 1t will
be governed under similar rules as those
governing the National, the American. the
southern and all other leagues.
There are a great many other things
which the national commission will con-
slider. The commission is the highest
council Of organized baseball, and the on
ly body which makes and unmakes rules.
This season. however, it is improbable
that there will occur any drastic changes.
One thing may be considered which, IL
passed, would revolutionize the game to
certain extent. There is move to take
from pitcher the right to appear at bat.
and the introduction of a tenth member
of team-an extra Datman. According
to the plans, this man will appear at bat
when the pitchers time rolls around. AS
stated, however, 1t Is very improbable
that this innovation will be ordered.
President Kavanaugh of the Southern
League, for the first time in Years, will
not attend the meeting of the national
commission. The Southern League, for
that reason, will not have representa-
tive. The president is very busy with his
private business just at this time, and as
the attendance of a representative is
rather more a matter of courtesy than
necessity, he did not consider that he
would be justified in lodging duties at
home
In case the outlaws are brought into
organized baseball and there seems no
doubt but that they WILL all players who
have deserted the several leagues will be
returned. In this way, Dessau, pitcher
of ability, will come again into the hands
of the Birmingham management, and Will
be placed on the suspended list.
That was an impudent. but at the same
time, selfish, and therefore, natural, move
made last week by the American Asso-
citation, the Pacific Coast League and
others to have themselves elevated from
a rank of equality with the Southern.
Should the national commission consider
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-01-06
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

this seriously, and eventually grant the
petition, the Southern League would be
riddled from breakfast to night fall. IL
those impudent striplings were elevated,
each club would strengthen itself by
drafting man from the Southern League.
What. then, under the sun would the
Southern league have to work with dur
ing another season?
The move Is interesting because it Is
alphabetically comical. By the clever
work and unhagging effort of President
Kavanaugh, the Southern league was re-
Gently elevated to Glass A. When this
was accomplished none but the major
leagues could draft southern players The
elevation gave the Southern more power
and dignity-made of a small class In
deed, real power in the world of sport.
OF course, the move on the part of tho
American Association tends to undo all
that good which has been done. But, as
stated, 1t is not serious. Doubtless the
national commission will smile broadly
after reading the petition. and then con-
sign it to the waste basket.
Locally, the disposal of Harry Matthews
was the feature of the week just passed.
And, In spite of the fact that the dis
posal of Matthews caused regret, for he
had served his day in Birmingham, there
is no doubt but that the Barons lose
much. Matthews was an excellent work.
er. and what he lacked In ability and
judgment he made up in strenuous, never
ceasng effort. On the coaching line he
was superb and 1t Is true that his never
say-die spirit did much in bringing the
pennant to the slagpile.
However, Matthews deteriorated in val
lie last season, and baseball, when assum-
ing the proportions of profession, can
not afford to tolerate sentiment. If Mat
thews was not able to deliver the goods
in a way that the management expected;
If he was a source of trouble and internal
dissension, then the management did well
in disposing of his services-would have
done well, In fact, if nothing in return
had been gained.
Lister, the first baseman for whom Mat
thews was traded, comes highly recon-
mended. Henry Meek told President
Baugh the other day that the young fell
low for first pillow was a splendid asset
to the club. Meek played with him in the
west, and knows. The disposal of Mat
thews. and the acquisition of Lister,
means that Meek goes behind the bat as
a catching companion to Lee Garvin. The
backstop is Meek's natural territory, and
that he will do well goes without saying.
Incidentally, the big fellow promises to
cross the 800 mark with the willow next
season.
While it is true that Manager Vaughn
has his "feelers" out in several directions,
it is equally true that Birmingham needs
very few new players. Meek and Garvin
will be behind the bat. Lister will play
first. Lou Walters will hold down the
keystone. Oyler will do stunts at short,
while Montgomery will play third. Gear,
Wordsworth, Smith and Gardner will be

either.
Much has been written and more said
anent a new ball park. 1t Is very proba-
BILE, however, that the Barons will win
other games, and lose them, too, under
the slagpile at West End. Efforts to ac-
quire new grounds have met with little
success. 1t Is now generally understood
that the fair grounds will hardly do on
account of the great amount of engineer
ing work that will have to be done there,
and the consequent expenditure of money.
The fact that the fair grounds are dis
tant from Birmingham is another draw
back that Is receiving consideration.
However, the old grounds will be CONF
pletely renovated, and no one will have
fault to find The grandstand will be i'm
proved and extended by means of the
smoker, to the foul line In right field.
The bleachers will also be practically re-
built and extended to accommodate all
the more strenuous fans and the colored
patronage.
The means Of entrance and exit will be
broadened and increased In number. Sew
eral tons of cinders and other kindred
substances will be laid on the avenue
leading from the park to the car track.
This will obviate the necessity of swim
ming to car when the weather is not
good.
