WHAT OTHERS SAY.

There is no foundation for the report that Greminger has already been closed with as manager of the Climbers for 19O9 "One day up at Blount Springs said President R. J. Chambers, who returned to the city yesterday, "I saw in a New Orleans and Atlanta paper a positive statement that Bobby Gilks had been signed as manager of the Montgomery team for next year. I immediately wrote to Greminger telling him not to pay any attention to those rumors, as there was no foundation for them. Some time ago l received a letter from Gilks asking for the Montgomery management next year, but told him that Greminger seemed to be making a good man, and while noth- ing had been done I saw no reason to make a change now.

 That is certainly correct. If 1t were not for the fact that the men who have to witness some of the games played in Atlanta and deal with some of the people connected with the club, were paid for their service by liberal newspapers, their lot would indeed be a hard one If they got no other compensation than the mere association and the sight of the sport on the local diamond they would be fit subjects for the amshouse and would in deed be objects of charity. Of course the men who write about the game the world over love 1t or they would do some other thing, but when they have to battle with cross managers and put up with other people who are to say the least, not pleasant. the work finally becomes irk- some where it should be pleasant
