The meeting will occur in October this year instead of December as formerly on account of the desire of the Southern league magnates to forearm themselves against the meeting of the national com- mission, which occurs in November. The presidents could better go about procuring next seasons material if they knew in advance what the Southern league sal- ary limit will be next season.
 Another object of the presidents visit to Birmingham was to express disap- proval of the post-season games arranged for this place between the Barons and the Pelicans at the conclusion of the season.

IN A NUT SHELL

. Fifty-two hundred people saw the . last game at Redwood this sea- . son. . The battle was between Birning- . ham and New Orleans, the strong . est teams of the Southern league. . The opposing pitchers were Cova- . lesld and Hess, southpaws, and ri- . val fingers for the pitching honors . of the league.
 . The game, after nine innings of
 . heart throbs, in which a score of . brilliant plays thrilled the specta- . tors, was won by Birmingham,
 . to O.
 . It was the eleventh straight vic- . tory of Covaleski.

It was a great game, and while the Barons emerged from the conflict with a very comfortable lead, there was never a moment when the element of danger could have been reckoned at nil
 The Barons won because they could connect when hits could produce runs, and the Peicans lost because in the pinches Covaieski was as strong as the rock of Gibraltar.
 But 1t was not all Covaleski by long shot.
 There was Molesworth, who captured a punch of Rohe, which, had it escaped, possibly three.
 There was McGivray on first who, in stopping a wild heave by Emery, cut of couple of runs, and who starred throughout with his excellent fielding.
 There were Emery and Ellam and Mar can, who had numerous chances, many of them difficult, and but for the splendid double in the second inning, started by the first named. the Pels would have scored.
 And there was "Rowdy" Elliott behind the bat, who caught a splendid game, and shot dead the only Pel who attempt ed to steal with third unoccupied. And there were Mcbride and Messenger, who pared all screaming smashes of surplus sacks
 Great Fielding Exhibition
 It was not all CovaIeski. The Pels, in addition to being face to face with one of the greatest fingers who ever trod the Southern soil, were up against about the niftiest fielding exhibition witnessed in Birmingham this season. The fielding of the Barons, if possible, was of a more brilliant nature than the fiinging of Co., valeski.
 Hess pitched a good game. too, though his glory was impaired when in the sec ond and fourth innings the Barons punched their hits for scores. But he had excellent control-as did the Pole and his rapid breaking curves sat six Barons down to ice water.
 In the first inning, by marvellous field ing exhibition, Covaleski cut off two Peli- can runs. There were men on third and second. Lindsay rolled one, just slow enough and just fast enough toward first base Covaleski felded the ball 1t feet from first, and when he turned to make the throw Lindsay was between him and McGilvray. But he shot the ball so fast that the eye could hardly follow McGilvray threw up his glove to protect his face. and the pellet stuck. During the progress of the play one Pelican had scored and another was crossing the pan
 In the pinches Covaleski was exception ally strong, and this was the cause of the visitors defeat. There were five Pelicans left on bases in the first four innings

Thereafter, however. Covaleski settled down, and the next Pel hits came in the seventh.
 ElIiott's Great Triple
 The Pels looked exceedingly dangerous right off the reel. Rohe opened the game by singling sharply to center, and in- stead of sacrificing as the Baron in field thought likely, Butcher cut one be- tween third and short Barr attempted sacrifice and forced Rohe at third Jack son forced Barr at second and then stole. Lindsay then made his roll to first, al- ready described, and the side was re- tired.
 Though Molesworth singled in the first, the Barons were able to do nothing until the second. McBrde then beat out a hit to Lindsay, and McGilvray sacrificed him to second. From thence he scored when Elliott tripled to deep left. Emery then bunted sharply between Manush and Lind say and Elliott raced over the pan Manush opened the slcond with a sim gle, but was doubled a moment later with Dugey. In the thhd with one down. Rohe and Butcher singled in succession But Barr famed and Jackson popped out | to Covalesli. In the fourth Lindsay opened with a single but died on first. In their half of the fourth the Barons got their third run and clnched the victory. McGilvray opened with sharply hit | bing1e between second and short, and was sacrificed to second. Emery deliv- cred juicily to right and McGilvray by a neat slide under Lafltte was safe at the plate on close decision.
 MoIesworth's Fine Catch In the sixth Barr opened by walking, but was caught attempting to steal. In the seventh Manush opened with a single, but was forced by Lafitte, who was safe at first Hess then shot one a mile a minute to left, but Mcbride, by fine fielding, held Lafftte at second. Rohe then retired the side on a smash to Moles- worth, in the reception of which the man ager performed nobly. The catch was an exceedingly difficult one, and had 1t es- capped there might have been three Peli- can talHes. In the eighth and ninth the visitors went out in succession. In the sixth, though Mcbride opened with a single, there was not another good chance of Baron score until the ninth. Then with one down Molesworth doubled to right center, but was held at third when McCilvray beat out a hit to Lindsay. FL
 liott couldn't deliver after McGilvray had pilfered the keystone.
 The game was rapidly played, was full of fine work, and was free of all rag chewing and other disa greea ble fea- | tures
