 Little League Gibes Up

Meridian, March 1S.--(Special )-Meridian will not go into a four-club circuit That was decided positively at meeting of the association held tonight. It was with considerable regret that this decision was reached, for the members of the associa- ton had hoped all along that the six towns that had agreed last Saturday to form the circuit would stick, but when it was learned that Columbus had dropped out it was considered a foregone con clusion that the deathknell of the Cotton States league had been sounded.
 When President Sam Greenwald stated the object of the meeting tonight, and when he told the members of the associa- ton it was a four-town circuit or none, there were many expressions of regret but it was the unanimous opinion of the as sociation that it would not be advisable to undertake this. It was thought that six towns were as few as could be used for a league, and if it was reduced to four the interest would be greatly dimin- ished. and 1t would not be a success. Me- ridian wanted to go into the league to stay until the end of the season, and 1t was felt that if there were only four

HenIine States His Case;
 Dreams 0 Big Leagues

Noah Henline has wired for transpor- tation. and is by this time. no doubt en route to Birmingham. Still. Noah desires to make his position plain to local peo- pie.
 As is remembered. last season Henline was paid a certain salary and drew s20 per month in addition because of his hav- ing won a bonus by hitting 300. From his statement it seems that the increase offered by the local management was an amount equal to the bonus of last season. In case Henline hits 300 this season, no increase has been offered. If he fails to reach 300. however. the increase is an average one. It looks as if the asso- ciation might compromise by offering an other bonus for 800 hitting. Here is Hen lines statement:
 Los Angeles, Cal, March 13, 1sO9 Sporting Editor:
 T just want to say one word in my own defense in regard to my holding out for more money for the coming season. read in the columns of your paper that was given an increase in salary over what l received last season, but I certainly was not offered one cent more than received last year, and I felt after the work of last year that I was at least entitled to some raise if such a thing Is given ball player.
 "The true fact in the case is this: I was to receive a certain amount last season per month, and if I hit 300 or better for the season l was to get an extra $20 month I did hit 300, and received the amount as per agreement.
 When my contract came to me this spring it called for the same money I got for the season last year, and did not
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-03-19

even offer me another bonus to duplicate my hitting of last year. l would like lo ask anyone if they consider this d raise in salary? I will admit I was llttle dls- appointed when I received this contract, and in my letter returning my unsigned contract I may have used some strong language, and did ask for a substantlal increase, but 1 did not say anything that was not true. l did not ask for an uh- reasonable salary for the facts are Just this: I doubt if 10 men in the Southern league were getting as small a salary as my contract called for last season, ana I know this-hve men outside of Moley were getting from s60 to $S5 per month more than received, and leave it to the records and the fair-minded fans If l am not entitled to nearly what some of them were getting.
 TWO teams in the California outlaw league have made me offers, one of them calling for $500 more money for the sea- son than Birmingham offered me, but have no desire to play outlaw ball, and do not think it will become necessary for me to do so. The fact that this is the first time since l have been in baseball four years-that have asked for a raise shows that I am not arbitrary, and think I will be able to come to some kind of a compromise with Moey, for want to play ball in Birmingham this year, for can play good ball in that oId town, and I appreciate the loyal friends I have there, and I feel that nothing can keep me out of that big league next fall if I can get going again In that old sun field.
 Here's hoping Moley will meet me half way, and that we will all pull together for that first division.
 Thanking you for your space, I will close. with best wishes to all the loyal Birmingham fans.

Merchants who deal in fertilizer claim that there has been a great falling off in the quantity of fertilizer purchased in this city this year as compared with last years purchases. This may mean one of two things, either the farmers are re- ducing their acreage along the lines sug- gested by the Farmers union, or they are going to endeavor to make their crops without the aid of the commercial stim- ulant.

it was almost certain that at least one of the four would drop out before the sea son was over, and besides that it was the opinion with so many games in four towns that there would be small attend ance. It was not Meridian's fault that the league is to go dead for this is what has already happened. The four towns sug gested to compose the circuit were Me- ridian, Jackson, Monroe and Alexandria, and this would make a scattered circuit for a league with only four towns.
 It is not believed that Meridian will be entirely without ball during the sum mer. and the matter of fixing park for a semi-professional team was discussed, but nothing definite was done.
 There are some good ball players in Meridian. and with the addition of two or three good men games could be had with Jackson. Hattiesburg, Laurel Selma and some other places that have good amateur players.
 It was the generally expressed opinion that the Cotton States league would blos- som out again after this year. that the people of the other towns would find what an unpleasant thing it is to do with out professional ball and would be ready to come back into the fold. A motion was made and carried that President Sam Greenwald sell the uniforms and take what money was in the treasury of the association and pay off all indebtedness.

 The first he smashed to Pop Eyler with so much force that the fans feared for the veterans safety. The second he drove to Coombs at second with so much force that that player was turned all around The third was bunt to the infeld, and the throw was so close that none but long Jim Fox could have got it. But Me- Gilvray was satisfied that he stung them on the nose.
 Young -Gygli did the work yesterday, getting three hits stealing two bases and scoring.
 Bowen had busy afternoon at second, and handled everything that came his way in easy fashion. Ellam had little to do and had a bad afternoon at the stick Larsen got no assists, but four put-outs got him into the proper columns. Mo- Gilvray and Hemp had nothing to do in the outfield.
 Molesworth still retains his fielding ability. He got three chances yester- day, and two of them were exceptionally difficult. He had no success with the
  stick, however.
 Johkers caught well, though his throw ing was a trife off. His pepper sounded well to the fans He will catch again this afternoon, Kane not yet being in shape to work.
 Raftis will play this afternoon instead of Larsen. This will be the first appear ance of the third sacker who Is consd- cred very able candidate The sub stitution of Raftis for Larsen will be the only change in the lineup, but the batting order has been remodeled It follows Molesworth, Bowen, McGilvray, Raftis, Gygli, Ellam, Hemp, Johkers and the pitchers. Fleharty, Moore and Bauer took it very easy yesterday afternoon. neither using speed nor curve. Bauer hit the ball. however, that cinched the game for the Barons.
 Glenn Hale,i Columbus shortstop. was obtained from Atlanta He couted the ball yesterday. But all the visitors did for that matter
 That Fox family, judging from Jim and John, are sky-fxers indeed Jim re- tains his sunny smile and good nature which makes him so popular in the south. and John gives indication of becoming d rattling good twirler. Old Pop" Eyler was in the form yes- terday which made him formidable in 1907.
 Fuicich-a prize to him who pronounces it correctly. lefty John Massing. another old South ern leaguer, will probably catch for | Columbus today. ! Vardeman, Columbus right fielder, Is 1 the smallest man in organized baseball 1 Hickman, beside him, would appear as giant.
