PRESIDENT ATKINSON TALKS
 BASEBALL SITUATION IN HAND

"No more rows" says President Att kison of the boys amateur league of the city. There have been too many squabbles in the papers about the win ming of the base ball games in this league. and the affairs have gotten to such state that matters will have to be taken in hand with an iron grip"
 The above statement comes from the president after meeting of the man. gers of the four leading boy amateur teams of the city on Saturday morn- ing. The frequent rows about the led to the formation of a formal agree nent by which all rowdiness and cheat ing mis-statements. and generally un- clean sportsmanship are to be severe lY dealt with and the team which vio- lates the agreement to be severely pun
 Tn an interview last night Pres ident Atkinson said: q have always believed in clean base ball. and the rows which have taken place among the teams of the little league of the city are disgrace. At the meeting clubs pledged themselves to me per sonally to suppress all rowdiness and to report their games without squab- bles which have characterized all games during the past two weeks. I think that I can safely say that there hances in the league. and that Mont gomery will soon have as good a league as any city in the country"
 President Atkinson Is well known in the amateur circles in Montgomery and his handling of the situation In such a business ike manner is the source Of much congratulation on the part of those who are interested in seeing that the boys of the city play ball in the true sportsmanlike manner.
