GETTING DIAMOND
 IN SPLENDID SHAPE Beautiful Plot Is Covered With
 Grass PLAYERS HEARD FROM McNeaI Praises Raftus, Kane and Gygi, While pr. Cooke Hears Ex- celIent Reports of Bowen-sap
 Rising and Fan Talking

Down at West End there was much activity yesterday.
 Carpenters were repairing the grand stand-putting up new pillars, and put ting on a new covering.
 Ia the front Dad" was carting new soil for the diamond, and Manager Molesworth was walking over the field supervising.
 The park, in the language of the landscape artist, who is in charge, will be as fine as you could find against the coming of spring"
 The grass already has begun spring ing. and soon a coat of luxurious green will be wrapped about the field. No prettier diamond has any other town in the south.
 There is no news today" said Man arer Molesworth. No new contracts have been received, but as you know baseball players withhold their sigma +ures as long as possible. I am antici- uating no trouble, however, for, with the exception of Raftus, none Of the nlayers have registered kick against coming to Birmingham. And as you know have seen the Birmingham third sacker. and he has been undeceiVed about the climate, etc, of which he feared.
 "Eueene Ford writes from Denver that he will send his contract along in the near future. Ford says that he has taken good care of himself and in tends making good from the jump l have confidence that he will be first class man this summer
 Earl Fleharty in sending in his signed contract several days ago, states that he is ready to report at any time q am, feeling finely" he wrote, and have entirely recovered from the ill., meas of last summer. Considering the fact that I was sick for so long, l feel that my record of 50 per cent won was not so bad.
 Molesworth feels sure that Flenarty will be a valuable man this season, and the fans feel likewise.
 McNeal the big fellow who pitched for Birmingham last season, and who is now practicing law here mas expressed satisfacti that Molesworth has gath ered three valuable men in Raftus, Gygli and Kane.
 After leaving Birmingham last Au- gust. as is remembered, McNeal went into the New York State league, and there saw Raftus and Kane work. He states that Raftus will be able to com pare favorably with any other Southern third ba aseman, and that Kane is an ex- cellent young catcher.
 McNears old home is in Ohio and he knows Gygli well. He states that the young first sacker is one of the com inr players of the country, and feels sure that he will make good in the southern league the coming season.
 Another young man belonging to Birmingham received a boost yester- dav. Dr. Cooke, the well known Br- mingham physician, and firstwater fan. states that he has had information to the effect that Birmingham has landed an excellent man in Henry Bowen, the Lynchburs second oaseman.
 Baseball Is in the air, and the fans arc talking on the streets. It will be but very short time before the play ers will be trooping in, and another xAca will be in progress.

ordering of the offender to the clubhouse, but he may not take up position either in the grandstand or bleachers. Another innovation was the adoption of rule to the effect that managers of home grounds will not be permitted to voice any senti- ment regarding ground rules in case the visiting team enters protest against ex- isting conditions. The umpire is to be the sole judge in such an emergency.
 After considerable discussion the com mittee decided to stop the practice or certain managers in shifting pitchers dur ing the course of games, in order to give their teams an advantage when the bat ters on the opposing teams were showing too great strength at the plate. When one pitcher is taken out his successor must remain in the box until he has re- tired at least one man.

PULL|AM IS GIVEN
 LEAVE OF ABSENCE President of National League is
 Nervous Wreck CONFLICTS ARE WEARING Closing Session of Major League Meeting Is Harmonious With the Exception That No One Apol-
 igzed to PuIliam.

Chicago, February 1S.-Factional strife in the National league was re- moved at the closing session of the magnates today when President Harry c. Pulliam was granted an indefinite leave of absence at his own request, in order that he may recover from the nerve strain from which he has long been suffering. In the meantime his post as chief executive of the league will be filled by John A. Heydler at present secretary and treasurer of the organization.
 The disagreements between President Pulliam and certain National league magnates provided material for most of the discussion during the closing hours of the conference and while the league president lived up to his an- nounced intention of remaining away from the meeting because he was wearied of conflict, the league repre- sentatives spoke of him as an efficient executive and voted unanimously to grant him an indefinite leave of ab- sence.
 Murphy Apologies.
 In order to leave nothing lacking in the way of the good feeling which marked the last of the meetings, Pres ident Charles Murphy of the Chicago National league club apologized in open meeting to President Ban John son of the American league, who was present at the session, upon invita- tion, for the purpose of telling what he knew of the alleged attempted bribing of Empires Klem and Johnstone during the closing series in New York between the Chicago Nationals and the New York Nationals. The entire bribery programme proved to be so difficult in handling that 1t was decided that the statements of the umpires and all evil dence in the hands of the special com mittee appointed to investigate the af- fair, be turned over to the committee to be acted upon as that committee sees fit.
 Chairman Hermann of the committee may call a meeting of the commanding powers of baseball tomorrow to start the task of getting to the bottom of the scandal.
 It was after MT. Johnson had ad- dressed the National league magnates that President Murphy offered his apol- ogies for whatever he has said In the past concerning the American league executive. While the formality of handshaking was dispensed with, John son bowed his acknowledgements and he was voted the thanks of magnates for his efforts in behalf of the national game

hope that he would return to his duties fully restored in health
 In the statement issued by President Pulliam before the meeting of the ieague he expressed the hope that baseball would not meet the fate which had overtaken horse racing throughout the country.
 When the national commission holds it, next meeting it is probable that the re- quest of President Murphy to be per- mitted to pay a $10,00o bonus to his play CTS, as per the promise he made durinat the Chicago-Detroit championship series. will be considered.
