Matters for Ruling of
Directors OF League

Atlanta, January 1s.-tSpeciaD-The
annual scheduled meeting Of the South
ern league will be held in Atlanta Feb
ruary q The date has not been Of
ficially announced from league headquar-
ters but President w. M. Kavanagh In
a recent letter to President J. f. Heis-
man of the local baseball association an
nounced that Wasningtons birthday
would doubtless be chosen as the date
for threshing through the schedule.
The schedule meeting this year will be
OF exceptional interest as a new style
schedule will be necessary, owing to the
substitution of Chattanooga for Little
Rock Last years schedule was consid-
cred nearly perfect for use in the old
circuit and it was announced after last
years schedule meeting that per
feet schedule had been secured and that
practically the same one would be used
year after year. And then they yanked
made 1t necessary to rearrange the
schedule.
1t is to be presumed, Mike Finn to the
contrary Notwithstanding, that with the
new schedule 1t will be possible to cut
down railroad expenses very considera-
bly, and the schedule sharps are working
to that end
There will be other matters up for dis
cussion, however, besides the schedule
It is understood, for one thing, that
Charley Babb will ask that the player
limit for the first month of the sea-
son be increased. At present the limit
is Is. The change will allow 20 or 20
men until 80 days after the playing sea-
son starts. The Atlanta club, for one,
will favor this change and there will
probably be little opposition. With the
limit after the end of the first month
so greatly reduced there Is feeling
that until the first 80 days end al.
clubs should be allowed as great lee
way as possible
Another matter which will be brought
up will be that of allowing the suspen-
sion of a player on account of illness.
Under the present league rules If play
er becomes Ill and it is necessary to
put a Substitute III Ills place, II lnls
substitute runs the number Of players
above the league limit It u necessary
that the sick man be suspended for the
remainder Of the season. This II an un-
necessary hardship on the player and
the club and at the annual meeting OF
the league q committee was appointed ia
draw up . rule by which q manager will
be allowed to suspend player In case
Of illness. 1t II not known just what
report this COMMITTEES will make, but VI
It IL not satisfactory President Heisman

vide that manager may suspend any
player provided he has an affidavit from
some reputable, practicing physician, and
provided moreover that his suspension
lasts three weeks or month.

Nashville, January 19.-(Special )-Presi-
dent w. NJ. Kavanaugh of the Southern
league. while present at the meeting of
the schedule committee of the league here,
expressed himself with emphasis upon
the question of reported dissatisfaction
among some players, managers and fans
of the circuit with regard to the change
in the salary limit and its effects upon
play the coming season. He stated with
equal emphasis that the new salary limit
would be enforced to the letter.
1.-THE sentiment prevailing In some quar-
tiers that Southern league ball will not be
as fast this season as last he said, is
not founded upon good ground, for in
stead of reducing the limit it was raised
from $1,000 and 15 men to 1920 and IA men,
thus leaving an average raise instead OF
u decrease. OF course" he continued,
there have been times when clubs were
found to exceed the limit placed hitherto,
and when this occurred they have been
made to suffer the penalty He smilingly
admitted, however. that while club books
seldom indicated any such condition, there
were doubtless times when some pretty
good bookkeeping was employed.

BASKETBALL FEVER
At HIGH SCHOOL
VIII Meet New Orleans \. NJ
c. A. Saturday
LIVELY GAME EXPECTED
High School Youngsters Hope for Good
Attendance AS An Encourage
ment of Athletics At the
Institution.
LIVELY GAME EXPECTED

The basketball fever seems to have
struck the High school at last. and
brighter outlook for athletics is looming
up. At two snappy games played yes
terday afternoon between the girls class
teams a full attendance was on hand
and enthusiasm ran high
The girls team of the junior class
succeeded In downing that of the fresh
men class. the final score being 7 to 3.
while the sophomores defeated the
strong postgraduate training class by
a score OF to l. The games will not
be counted with the championship series
TO be played, however. as the regular sea-
son for the girls teams has not as yet
been formally opened
1t Is expected that the fur will be sent
flying Saturday afternoon when the first
team of the High school meets the cham
pion five representing the New Orleans
Young Mems Christian association at the
Athletic club gymnasium.
The team has been putting in some
extensive practice daily, and expects to
carry off a victory. All the members are
in fine shape and no better condition
could be expected Of the bunch as a whole.
Though the odds are decidedly against
the local youngsters, the New Orleans
boys will be given c run for their money
and battle royal is expected.
The Boys Athletic association of the
High school is at rock bottom financially
and accordingly issues request for sup
port from all those formerly or at present
connected with the High school. A warm
scrimmage is promised for all lovers Of
the sport, and it is believed that crowd
of some size will be on hand to help the
local athletes win.
The game will begin promptly at s
o'clock, and will be played, as stated in
the gymnasium OF the Athletic club.
1t is desired to make special mention of
the fact that all attendants of Birming-
ham grammar schools will be admitted
to the game at the reduced price of 10
cents, the regular charge being 20 cents.
AS a preliminary to the big game, the
High school reserves will meet the crack
basketball team OF the Powell grammar
school This should add special interest
to the occasion for grammar school at
PENDANTS and it is thought an overflow
crowd will be on hand. Neither the reg
ular nor second teams of the High school
has as yet been defeated this season
and it is pointed out that there is no
reason why a defeat should be met with
Saturday. Fast and heady teamwork
has won the High school boys a reputa-
ton in all lines of athletics. 1t has
been the secret of their remarkable sue
cess at football and serves them all the
better in sports where weight is not so
important factor.
The High school boys desire to state
emphatically that all they need now for
success in athletics Is financial backing
They promise to do wonders IL the proper
support is forthcoming from the school
body and the Alumni association. The
public is urged to turn out and see what
pluck can do against odds.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-01-20

said Mr.. Heisman. 81 believe that if a
physician is required to swear to the fact
that the player is not in physical con-
dition it viii be some protection. Then
let the mans suspension be for three
weeks or even a month. That will cut
out most of the funny business"
The matter of club houses for the WIS.,
iting players is almost sure of coming
up and the Atlanta club for one will
vote in favor of it. BUS fare for a year
is $780, is the way Mr.. Heisman fig
ures it, and for that money you can
build q palatial cllfo house. The extra
club house we have on our grounds cost
$50 and it was good enough for the New
York Americans and the Cincinnati Ma
uonals OF course II the Southern league
rule is passed we will fix it up consid-
erably.
The ticket committee, composed of j.
Heisman of Atlanta and President Kav-
anaugh, will report. Already arrange
ments have been practically made for un-
form and consecutively numbered tick
cts. When these are put in use every
club in the league will use the same
kind of tickets each day. More than
that because they are numbered consec-
utiyely it will not be necessary to count
the tickets used but simply to note the
top number on the stack that is left.
This will effect vast saving of time in
settling up for games.

league financial burden and tend to place
all clubs upon much nearer equal terms
than ever before throws some new light
upon the situation, for 1t has appeared
to be the impression hitherto that the
new limit was fiat 5000. The latter sum
was the one given out following the late
meeting in Memphis.
According to Judge Kavanangh, Little
Rock will be without organized ball this
season, despite many rumors that it had
sought admission to the Texas league
and was now contemplating putting In q
club In the State league. The local public.
he stated, would not patronize lower
grade of ball than that to which 1t had
been accustomed. He said that 5000 re-
manned as surplus in the club treasury
after all obligations had been met with
the Chattanooga franchise money, and
this would be held intact pending an
opportunity to again procure q franchise

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, april 5.-The cotton
market opened easy at a decline of IA
IA points under a continuation OF yes
terday's late selling and bear pressure,
encouraged by weakness in Liverpool.
Southern bulls, however, gave the
market support at the initial decline,
while there was also a demand from
spot houses. and the market recovered
a few points of the early loss.
The market became active and ex-
cited late in the morning. Southern
bulls continued TO support prices, buy
ing in blocks of from 5000 to 10000
bales, but offerings We're extremely
heavy, with nearly all brokers around
the ring, except those who were cred
-ited with working for the big bull inter-
ests selling aggressively. Prices broke
in consequence, with May selling off to
1876 and October to 1910. or to a net
loss of about IA and "a points on the
active months. Covering checked the
decline around this level. but the mar
ket at midday remained nervous and
excited.

that the shorts were bringing cotton

Before the big break Southern bull
leaders gave h market considerable
