KUHN OF NASHVILLE, TOO

Otis stockdale. the veteran twirler who was reinstated by the directors of the league several days ago in Mobile and on whom waivers have been requested, spent several hours in Birmingham yes terday.
 Stockdale was en route to the Univer- sity of North Carolina, where he will during March coach the baseball team of that institution. He arrived on the Alabama Great Southern yesterday morn- ing too late to catch a train to Atlanta and in this way was compelled to remain in Birmingham for several hours Stock dale called at the newspaper office, at local baseball headquarters and saw the several old Southern league players with whom he is acquainted.
 stockdale did not care to discuss his reinstatement or his suspension. T have talked already too much and you know the adage about the burnt child fearing the fire. However, I am glad that I have been restored to my profession
 While Stockdale did not say so, the understanding is that he has been offered a berth in .he American association and that he would be glad if the clubs of the Southern league waived on him.

Atlanta, Ga, February 24-(Special)- The following is Techs baseball sched- ule:
 Riverside Academy in Atlanta, March
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-25

Another well known baseball figure in Birmingham yesterday was President Kuhn of the Nashville club MT. Kuhn was returning from the directors meet ing in Mobile.
 The meeting was highly successful ]" stated he, "and while there was not a great deal of work to do we did that little rapidly and peacefully. For the first time in the history of the league the business was concluded in one ses- sion. There was a full attendance and everyone was in harmony. The schedule adopted is satisfactory to us and if un- satisfactory to any club that fact was not made known. l do believe that Bob Baugh complained about not getting an opening date, but when it is remembered that Birmingham last season finished on the bottom and was not good as a draw ing center last year. the directors, in seeking to act with an eye to the bus mess of the league as a whole probably took the wisest action. Finish high and you can get what you want
 President Kuhn here smiled with sat isfaction and winked his eye He fin ished high last year for the first time in many seasons
 In speaking of his team for this year President Kuhn stated that he was Ieay- ing everything to Bill Bernhard in whom he had absolute confidence and was sat ished that Nashville would finish well
 Henry Meek. the hard hitting catcher of last seasons Birmingham team was wearing broad smile yesterday.
 There is another catcher out home.o said he. The young man arrived several days ago and is young and lusty He weighed trifle more than 10 pounds on the day of his birth and is coming every day. To look at him carefully. one would be inclined to the belief that his father is, after all, to have rival for premier catching honors."
 President R. H. Baugh and Manager Carlton Molesworth will arrive this morning at o'clock over the Alabama Great Southern from Mobile where they attended the meeting of directors
 While in Mobile MT Baugh was often on the golf links and had the satis- faction of administering to Col, Robert Hunter, most affable and hospltabe gentleman, the second defeat that he has ever received on the Mobile links.
 Colonel Hunters other defeat was ad- ministered some months ago by another Birmingham expert-Georgs Oliver.

stated, when the Little Rock franchise was endangered. As matter of fact, the three-fourth vote necessary to put Lit tie Rock in the cold was already cinched. Shreveport and Little Rock were alone to vote for the retention of Little Rock. Peters was then in charge of Atlanta and it happened that two brothers were man. agers of the street railway companies of Atlanta and Little Rock Then 1t was true that the railway company of At lanta gave the Atlanta club s10oO a sea- son for operating expenses The railway company of Little Rock naturally desired that the franchise be retained in that city and the manager there wired ihs brother in Atlanta, who in turn wired Peters that if he voted against Iittle Rock the usual s10O0 would be withdrawn Peters received the telegram Just before the vote was to be taken He cast his vote in favor of Little Rock and we were saved in spite of the fact that prior to the voting six clubs had signed our death warrant. But since that time there has been no truth in the various stories that the franchise would be taken from Little Rock
 Finn states that he has collected a good team for this season and hopes to finish higher than he finished last year
