THE 1908 PENNANT HANGS
 ON NASHVILLE GAMES
roday begins the last three d

Today begins the last three days in the life of the 1908 Southern League. and on the three days depends the fate of the 1908 pennant Nashville and New orleans tie up for the next three days. If Bernhard's people win this af ternoon there will probably be a double header. but if the Pelicans win onlc three games will probably be played. Memphis is in Montgomery dor the three closing games and Mobile in Bir- mingharn. GremingePs people have a good hold on fourth place now but if fhev lose some of the Memphis games and the GuIls win from the Dubs. it is pogsible for the Gulls to finish in fourth p'9Ue Al any rate 1t will all be history by Saturday night-unless the two lead CTS tie.

BAXTER TALKS OF BASEBALL Ex-
 FERENCE
Regrets He Left Montgomery, Praises the Town and the Management

~A1@@@
 and Says Ryan Was
 to Blame.
 Moose" Baxter landed in Montgom- cry yesterday, big, strong and smiling the same as ever. He said he had a beautiful time with Johnstown in the Tri-State League, and had batted .295 and he knew he had been fielding some. for there were few errors charg- ed up to him. The big first sacker will be here a week then he is going to New Orleans to take charge of a mid-win- ter team there. and has Joe Rickert with him. The team Is the Paddock Club and Moose says what they are going to do for the others will be the business.
 His lineup for the winter is as fol- lows: Joe Rickart. outfield; Moxie Manuel. pitcher; Jake Atz. short: Ed die Hollis. second Hubbard. third; Tarleton ,outfield; Matthews. catcher, and he has made arrangements with others, including several more pitchers
 He says Johnstown came out in the race in fourth place, for reasons sim liar to the reason Montgomery isn't in first here. the manager sold out his best material early in Iue season. and the manager was none other than Ed Ashenback. of erstwhile Atlanta and South Atlantic League fame. In talk ing about Montgomery, Moose said had Greminger been manager here from the start and had had the material Ryan started out with. the Climbers would be at the top now.
 The latest from the Fri-State bunch ia that they are losing money and will cut down the salary limit. in do- ing this they have offered their men the opportunity of buying out at half their cost price and Moose has bought his freedom and now is one of the few good ball players who Is not owned body and soul.
 He is going to take the New Orleans nfdwinter team to the Isthmus of Pan anna for a series of games there to- ward spring and tben. in good condi- tion, the players will return to their teams ready for business.
