 It does not necessarily follow that Chattanooga will lose to Augusta, how ever, in the series which begins today.
 In 1892 Chattanooga won the champion ship of the first half of the season. Bir- mingham under the leadership of Sam Mills had finished on the bottom.
 When the second half was begun. how ever, Mills was succeeded by Manning. Manning brought Billy Sunday, Housman and others of that school to Birmingham and things began picking up.
 When the second half of the season exchanged places, Birmingham going to the top and Chattanooga to the bottom.
 Then began the post-season champion ship series. Three games were played in Birmingham and Birmingham won them all. It looked easy when Birmingham went to Chattanooga, for it was almost a 100 to 1 shot that one game at any rate would be won on the mountain. But it was not so. Chattanooga took all three.
 Then there was a squabble. Birming- ham refused to play the deciding game in Chattanooga and Chattanooga declined to play the game in Birmingham. So there was toss-up between Nashville and Atlanta, and Nashville won.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
Big Sale of cuIIman County Lands
 Attracts Attention.

Columbus, Ga.. September s.-(Special) The Georgia and Alabama Industrial h. dex will say tomorrow In its regular weekly issue:
 Perhaps no land sale of the past week in the two states was more interesting than the transfer of 10000 acres of coal lands in Cullman county, Alabama, to a company said to be composed largely of Hollanders. This company. in which European capital is known to be heavily interested, has been acquiring holdings from time to time in that section of Ala bama, and 1t is said will now build and develop them. Cullman, 1t will be recalled Is the famous German town of Alabama, and it does not seem strange that European capital should follow the colonists, especially in view of the suc- cessful manner In which they have de- veloped their town and section.
 New banks were chartered during the week at Atlanta, Birmingham, Byron, Ga. and Cleveland, Ga. Twenty-one new corporations were formed. with capital of s577,5OO and the activity in real estate Is reflected by the fact that five of them are realty corporations, located. respec- lively. at Birmingham. Brunswick, Ca. Douglasville, Ga, Fitzgerald, Ga, and Savannah.
 "A company was incorporated at Amer fcus. Ga., to engage in the culture and marketing of oceans. Among the land sales was that of farm near Winder Ga, for S40.000, and the plantation will be divided into small farms of 100 acres each. Illinois people will build a $10,OO0 club house in Dougherty county, Geor- gia.
 Bonds of Georgia and Alabama cities were sold during the past week to De- troit, Mich. Cleveland. O.. and Boston, Mass, investors, and many other distant cities were represented among the un- successful bidders A $25,000 company was formed at Columbus, Ga, to manufacture scnool desks, a $50,000 lumber company was chartered at Savannah, Ga, $o5, 600 corporation to manufacture cotton pick ing machines was organized at Augusta, Ga. and group of new enterprises are projected for Calera Ala.

E. B. JOSEPH, IT IS REPORTED, WILL SUCCEED CHAMBERS AS PRESiDENT-TILLlS WILL HAVE CHARGE.

Montgomery. September s-(snec,a, A Indications are that the Montgon,arv Baseball club will suffer radical change. at the post-season meeting of the board or directors. It now seems certain that Robert J. Chambers, the present presi- dent, will retire in favor of E. R. Josenb Jr., one of this city's most enthusiastic boosters. Manager Eddie Greminger will be reelected manager, while Richard Til- lis, capitalist, will control the majority stock, and thus furnish the necessary finances for what MT. Chambers declares will be the best team ever got together in Montgomery
 More than this, it is promised by MT. Tillis that if money is what's needed to get together a good team the board of di- rectors and president will be amply pro- vided with the cash necessary.
 Wide currency which was given rumors that the above changes have already been consummated has led to strenuous denial rom President Chambers. It was pub iished in this city that the election was neid on Monday night. in which it was ueciared that Manager Greminger had been put back in the harness for another year. All of the directors state that be Will be reelected, but that the meeting Will not be held until after the baseball season.
 Ed Joseph, who is boosted for the nresi- denoy, is well known in Montgomery as an athletic and society leader He has for q long time been a prominent and wide awake director of the club MT. Ttllis who will control the stock is one of the wealthiest men in the state, and several years ago controlled the franchise by vir tue of the majority stock, which he later disposed of
 MT. Chambers announces that he will not hold a place on the directorate owing to the press of business
 There have been no suggestions relative to the personnel of the team next year Pitcher Lively is the only player who will have to leave because of draft. He goes to Connie Mack of Philadelphia Rumors that Dr. Hub Hart, catcher would be called back to the major league have not been confirmed. At the present time he's the leading swatter in the circuit.
