Decision or Baseball
 Boilers Is Postponed

The American league magnates opened tlfeir session by formally awarding the pennant of 1908 to the Detroit team. The meeting accepted the drafting clause which the National leaguesfavorably acted upon yesterday, limiting ehe drafting pe- riod for major leagues from September 1 to 15 The rule will be in force from now on.
 At the National meeting all the clubs were represented except New York. A resolution of regret on the death of Henry Chadwick, the father of American base ball." was passed. The time limit for re- turn of players to clubs on waiver was reduced to five days during the playing season. Outside of that the former 10- day limit will obtain.
 The indiscriminate issuance of passes by league clubs was discussed at length and clubs were urged, in view of the anti race track betting legislation, to take ex tra precautions in inforcing the leagues law against betting in the stands.
 MT. Pulliam's suggestion as to postponed games was referred to the committee on constitution, and his suggestion that the ground rules of the worlds championship series be made the grounds of the Ma tional was made a special order for the spring meeting.

of ineligfbility preferred by Tulane uni versity against Louisiana State uniyer- sity.
 In case Louisiana is found guilty, 1t is hoped that the association will have the backbone to mete out a punish ment. Every one remembers how, at the last meeting of the executive com mittee, the University of Georgia, al though having admitted that it played ringers" on it's football team, was whitewashed of all guilt. This action was enough in itself to stamp the as- sociation as entirely unworthy. And now, inasmuch as a similar case is be- fore the committee, the hope is that in the event that the defendant is found guilty, an adequate punishment will be administered.
 The case, however, is unlike the Geor- gia case. Georgia pleaded guilty Louisiana staunchly denies that it has violated the laws of the s. I. A. A., and It's president, pr. Boyd, is pre- pared to make as stiff fight as pos sible. He confidently believes that his team which easily outranked all oth- CTS in the south. will be cleared of the ugly charges preferred by sister and a jealous college-Tulane.
 Mercer, Sewanee, Tech, Alabama, Louisiana and other southern colleges will endeaVor to DrlnS cnanBe III cer- tain of the presently existing laws of the association. The laws regulating the playing of summer baseball are to be assailed by the colleges above men, tioned, and it is believed that by a unanimous consent certain changes will be affected. The "one year" rule, too, that which requires an athlete to at tend college an entire session before he is eligible to membership on the teams, will be attacked
 There are other important matters coming before the association. One of the most important will be the election of officers. It is not known whether or not pr. Dudley of Vanderbilt will ask for another term. But it Is known that Professor Riggs of Clemson will be a candidate for president of the as- sociation. Professor Riggs is now To- cated at Clemson. He Is graduate of Auburn, and there are many who believe that he would make an admira- ble chief executive.
 Tulane, it Is understood, will ask permission to return to the fold. It Is not known whether or not Alabama will leave the ranks

COLU MBUS GIRLS

Columbus, Miss, December s.-CSpecial) The young women composing the basket ball team representing the University of Arkansas will play the team from the Industrial institute and college, this city, Saturday.

way one well known automobilist put it. That is about what a race would be on most of our roads around here" good roads, but the lay of the land is such as to preclude anything like such a splendid automobile course as that which has made Savannah famous.
 However AtInta thinks she wants a big automobile function for the sake of the money and the advertising there is in 1t and 1t Is likely that the proposition will be pushed for all it Is worth.
 But some of those who attended the Savannah races say that if there is to be any more automobile racing in the south like that held recently in Savan- nah the automobiists themselves will in- sist on going back to the Savannah track because they found 1t so much to their liking.

ATLANTA WANTS
 AUTO ROAD RACES

Atlanta, December g. = Especially = Spurred by Savannah's success with the recent international automobile races, a movement has been started here to se- cure an international automobile meet for Atlanta next fall
 o course the movement has received the indorsement of the Atlanta clubs and trade bodies and number of leading citizens; naturally they always indorse anything which has in 1t the promise of boosting Atlanta D.
 No doubt Atlantans generally would like to see pulled of here just such a contest as was held in Savannah, but of course 1t is out of the question and most Allan tans who understand the situation real ike It.

At the meeting of the Riverdale
Civic league last evening a vote of
thanks was rendered to the speakers
and all others who took part in the
christening exercises and to the news
papers for their cooperation and sup

fitted adj lbly for such use. The

such a royal manner on the occasion

troops here as long as possible and
