FISHER NOT SIGNED
 UP WITH CRACKERS
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
 Tom Fisher has not yet signed an Atlanta contract. and he may not sign one unless he gets the salary he asks for.
 Fisher does not say anything about what he intends to do and has not dis cussed his affairs, but 1t is known that he had declined up to Wednesday even ing to attach his name to an agree ment to paly ball for Atlanta.
 Naturally, Fisher feels his expert ence as manager and his ability as pitcher entitle him to pretty fair pay. and he wants to get all he thinks he is worth.
 Last year as manager of Mobile he made a good showing under all the cir. cumstances. and before that in Shreve port he demonstrated his ability as both manager and pitcher.
 Fisher could now be with a big league club if he cared to play there put he held to the Southern association as long as he was & manager and even went so far as to secure his re- lease in order to report to the Shreve- port club the year that club was sold to Mobile. He was then transferred te the latter city.
 There Is no question about his be. ing one of the best pitchers the Soutt has ever had, and he will be a fine ad- dition to the Atlanta staff.

Nashville Tennessea a n

Nashville Tennessean.
 From every indication obtainable to date, Hub Perdue the crack son of Sumner, who has been with the Voiun- teers the past two seasons has made all preparations to fly the coop to the Outlaw League on the coast.
 Some weeks ago Bill Bernhard re- ceived a note from Hub to the effect that he was planning to hike It to the Pacifc's rim as he had been offered more money there than with the Nash vile club Bill responded with po- lite rejoinder to the effect that the walking back was said to be very rocky and the stroll across the Sierra: worth contemplating in advance. Bill did not take the threatened jump seriously but judging from this In The Examiner-Tennessean of yes. terday. Hub is prepared to take the long tramp. This from the Gallatin ex change:
 Hub Perdue who pitched ball fol Nashville last season and helped thai team materially In winning the South ern League pennant, and Bill Chenault

Hub Perdue May "Fly de
 Coop" to Outlav League

who was a pitcher in the Virginia State League, will be In new company this year.
 "Perdue goes to the California out laws and will pitch for Fresno Hub left the Southern League voluntarily for the good reason that he has been offered $500 more per season than the Nashville clubs manager Is willing to pay him. Hubs transportation has been received and he will leave for Fresno next Monday.
 Hub was without a doubt about the best pitcher in the Southern League last season, and 1t was he who pulled the Nashville team out of a deep hole along in midsummer and ultimately caused 1t to win the pennant.
 "Chenault has signed with the Port land team of Oregon and will report for duty before many days. Bill Is tip-top pitcher and is a valuable man on any team.
 The many friends here and else- where of these two popular stars of the pitching art wish them well in their new company and will expect good re- ports of them"
