itself to the favorable criticism of the followers of college sport. Perhaps the members of the association, like the peo- pie of Alabama, have returned to san ity'' in regard to legislation.
 According to the rule today, any stu dent on entering college with the full re- quirement for admission to the freshman class may participate in athletics-unless of course, he Is not bona fide amateul in the college acceptation of the term, an unless, the year previous, he was an atiI lete in another institution.
 It is very difficult to make the burde of requirements fall equally on all mem bers of the association. For instancl 1t is decidedly easier for students of somd southern institutions to come up to tn { full requirements of the freshman cIas than the students Of others For instanceV the Louisiana State university has com mercial, an agricultural and other courses out of which a student can make up the required number of hours work. But there is time enough in which to bring about much-needed reform, and in the abolition of rule which has proved a yoke and cause of ridicule, the associa- ton perhaps has done enough for one season.
 It may happen that the Southern In1er- collegiate Athletic association will he come a body of value after all.

BOOST FOR COLLEGES

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association has abolished the "one-year rule,' that which made 1t impossible for first-year students to participate in ath- letics.
 When the association adopted that reg ulation which could not do other than work hardship on southern colleges. the average annual attendance on which is. comparatively speaking. small. sev- eral writers pointed out the danger of same, and urged it's destruction at subse- quent meetings of the association. The rule became known as the "nefarious' one-year rule, and as such was roundly condemned by everyone save those high browed' individuals who believe that every other man is anxious to break laws.
 For the past several seasons the South- ern Intercollegiate Athletic association has been ridiculed quite generally on ac- count of it's hesitancy in enforcing the laws which already existed and it's att tempts to patch up loopholes by addi- tional legislation. By the abolition of the one-year rule, which was unnecessary in every essential, the Southern Intercollegi- ate Athletic association has commended

HENLINE 70 BUFFALO

Noah Henline, one of the best known Southern league performers. has been dis posed of by the Birmingham club to Buff 1alo of the Eastern league.
 Billy Smith, last three seasons manager of the Atlanta team, and now at the head of the Buffalo team, acted for Buffalo in the transaction. The consideration it is understood, Is S7o0.
 Heniine was one of the best players in the league. He is hard hitter, a fair fielder and the fastest man, with the exception of Harry Niles that the league has known Last season he lead the league in stolen bases.
 Henlins will haii his disposal with joy. as he Is ambitious to advance in his pro- fession- The Eastern league is trifie higher in the scale than the Southern. and it is believed that after a season of coaching by Billy Smith, the former Baron will be ripe for draft by a major league team
 Henline came to Memphis from the Western league. Towards the conclusion of 1907 he went to Montgomery. Bir- sningham obtained him from Montgomery in the spring of 1908 in exchange for Steve Reagan.

NEW MAN MAY TAKE
 O'BRIEN'S PLACE,

Chicago. December 2S.-The annual meeting of the American Baseball as sociation. which will be held here to. morrow, promises to develop lively battle over the election of . new press ident. Tho majority of the magnates arrived today and spent a greater DOT ton of their time in informal confer ences.
 As far as could be ascertained the conditions existing among the mag mates today point to asadlocl on tn first ballot for president, although an unexpected break may clear tn clouds Of dissension now lowering over the club presidents. An informal canvass of the club presidents gave Josepb i, OBrfen, the present incumbent. three votes and Tom Chivington, secretary of the ~Louisville club. has three votes pledged. Columbus and Toledo are m the fence and said to be in favor of neither of the two candidates now be- fore the magnates.
 The possibility of the present con test proving duplicate of the recent National league election is being free- ly commented upon. There is . chance that deadlock between O'Brien and Chfvington may ensue and the election of dark horse" break the deadlock. Thus far no compromise candidates have been named.
 The length of the schedule for 1910 Is another question of importance to be considered. Last year the associG ton played . 1ss-game schedule and ended the season before October Il This necessitated many double headers and left few open dates. The north ern section of the circuit is said to be' in favor of . return to the 1Bl-gamel sche edule. while the remaining clubs are said to be content with the longer season.
