SOUTHERN LEAGUE CLUBS
ARE GETTING UNDER WAY
Dates For Reporting of Play.
GrS Have Been Issued

Atlanta, January 15.-All Southern
league clubs have sent out contracts
to all players on their reserve lists
with instructions as to the reporting
date. Most all clubs will hace have
their players report during the first
week in March, giving all plenty OF
time to get in good condition for the
opening of the season, which is slated
for April 10.
Major clubs will train in many cit
les in the Southern league, being af-
filiated more closely this season than
ever before. The New York Americans
reach Atlanta March 4 and will stay
a full month. Manager Harry Wolver-
ton wishes to give his outfit a thor
ough workout before starting back
home. The New York club will leave
many good youngsters with Manager
Hemphill, pf the Atlanta club, who
was formerly with Wolverton's team.
The annual meeting of the Southern
league is slated for January 20 OF
Little Rock, the home of President
Kavanaugh The only matter of any
importance to be discussed at this
meeting is the 1912 schedule. The
committee has been at work on it for
some weeks and it will probably be
accepted without any big fight.

M0NGREL PUP MASCOT
FOR PRISON COMMISSION
Street Wait Picked Up BY The Com
mission.

Atlanta, Ga, January 15.-The state
prison board has adopted a mascot,
and it has already become the pride
of the capitol There is a certain APP
preparedness about it, too, for the
mascot is tiny hound pup, little
black and brown bundle whose ears
are bigger than his body.
1t may be a blood hound. 1t may
be a rabbit dog. Nobody knows its
pedigree, for it is founding. Chair
man Bod Davidson arrived at the cap
itol earlier than usual a few morn
ings since and saw the little thing
budding in a corner on the topmost
step of the capitol stairs, evidently
left there by somebody, for the little
thing could no more have climbed the
steps than it could have climbed the
side of a house.
p. A. Methvin of the agricultural
department. who knows lot about
dogs, believes that the pups owr
mother brought it there by the mai
of the neck and left it there to be
adopted by the state, just as human
mothers sometimes elave their LITTLE
ones on doorstep.
Be that as it may, the whole CAPT
toll force is interested in the pup, ant
in day or two there will be christ
ening.
If he ever wants to go aynwher
when he gets older, the state rail
road commission has already agree
to suspend all rules and arrange wit
the railroads to let him ride free.

She was goi,Id in night attire in her

gar turned on and was not Zig hted. and
the gas jet in the kitchenette was also
turned on without being lighted. One
Of the windows was slightly opened.

Policeman Hyer at first decided to put
her under arrest for attempted suicide.
An elderly man named Morris appeared
and objected vigorously to this. At first
the policeman said he would keep her in

Because OF the open window the pole t.
men decided that Miss Clicks statement
OF the case was to be accepted and that
she had gone to bed and to sleep without
knowing that the gas was turned on.
