MAN LIMIT SIXTEEN;
 SALARY LIMIT S35OO

The hardest fight of the day occurred in reference to the salary and man-limits for next season.
 President Coleman, President Heisman and President Kuhn stood for the aboli- ton of the salary limit. But the real fight developed on including the salary of playing managers in the monthly payrolls. Those clubs with playing managers want ed only half the salary included, while those with bench managers wanted to include the entire amount. A dozen res olutions were offered and all voted, down.
 And in the nature of a compromise the $3500 figure was adopted with Is play CTS. the amount to include the full sal ary of playing managers. This was hard blow to Baugh of Birmingham, Heisman of Atlanta and others whose leaders appear as players.
 There was general satisfaction in the increase of the player limit from 14 to 16 men, though several would have been satisfied with 15. The permission to car-

 BIRMINGHAM PROFITS
 FROM NEW SCHEDULE There was a long and bitter fight, too, as concerns the schedule for next sea- son. Judge Kavanaugh, in his report, recommended a schedule of 126 games which was woefully defeated without hav- ing been put to a vote. A dozen reso- lutions in this regard were offered and all voted down. Finally, In despair of ever agreeing, Franks proposition was adopted. It provided for regular sched-
 ule of 13S games. 69 to be played in each city, and four extra games to be played
 as doubeheaders July and Labor Day in Birmingham, New Orleans, Chatta-
 nooga and Atlanta, it being provided on these days no club will submit an ex- pense account, and the receipts to be pooled with the other clubs of the league. In connection with sch hedule discus sion President Kuhn suggested divid- ing the season into halves of 70 games each, and providing for post-season series between the clubs heading the lists at the conclusion of the sections of time; and providing that all money, save 10 per cent, to go to the play CTS.
 But this proposition was defeated
 overwhelmingly.

 With turnover attendance the South ern league held it's ninth annual session In Birmingham yesterday, the session opening at 10 o'clock and adjourning only at o'clock to attend a dinner at the Country club.
 The rumored opposition to Judge Kava- naugh did not show material form, all though when the election of officers was called for, J. w. Heisman of Atlanta moved that this matter be carried over till the spring meeting in New Orleans. This was overruled, however, and the election of Kavanaugh followed without a dissentingt vote. Though Presiden President o. B. Andrews nominated J. o. B. Andrews nominated J. w. Heisman to displace F. E. Kuhn from the board of directors. the Atlanta gentleman with drew his name when the opposition developed. Therefore, from president to auditor, the old roster was reelected without opposition.

MONTGOMERY FINED AND JUUL A FREE AGENT

The case against Montgomery In ref erence to the charges of Pitcher Juul that that club violated the salary limit agreement last season, was disposed of amicably, though not without consider able argument.
 When it was opened President Jo- seph of Montgomery pleaded guilty, de- claring, however, that the guilt was only technical. President Kavanaugh then proceeded to point out that President Joseph had been remiss in his duty in not reporting the fact of a secret agree ment between Juul and R. J. Chambers of Montgomery To this President Joseph also pleaded guilty.
 President Hartwell of Mobile then moved that the fine be remitted. Pres ident Heisman seconded the motion. Pres ident Kuhn of Nashville insisted that the fine, in toto, be inflicted. and Pres ident Baugh of Birmingham did like wise. Then President Frank of New Or leans offered a resolution which finally carried that Montgomery be fined $500 and that Juul, for turning up the secret contract, be rewarded with his freedom. He pointed out that Juul, in taking the case to the national commission, would be declared free agent at any rate. This carried with only the opposition of Pres ident Kuhn who stuck it out for the full amount of s1250.
 Before adopting the compromise, how ever, the league upheld the action of President Kavanaugh in infiicting the original fine, and the board of directors in sustaining the action of the presi- dent i
