cast at Tuesdays primaries for Re

for recounts of vote for Republican

Demontreville offered no objection
to the adoption of the rule, and if he
is going to get any of Franks cast
offs for 1912, it will be necessary for
the big Dutchman to cut them adrift
before the season opens on April 18th
Some of the team managers frank
ly admit that they would like to get
whack at the Southern league in
eligibles this year. The class of ma
terial that has been developed during
the spring practice period is far from
satisfactory. Player after player is
being tried, only to be found wanting
AS a rule, when a good outfielder or
infielder is found he is lamentably
weak at the bat, or vice versa. This
explains why so many youngsters
have been cut adrift. Manager Ken
nedy, of the Meridian team, for in
stance, has released thirty-six players
within less than three weeks.
Mills, of the Vicksburg team, is APP
parently having less trouble than any
club manager having retained about
sixty per cent of his 1911 pennant

League Managers Hustling
to Perfect Their Lineups


Jackson, Miss, March 29.--Cotton
States league managess are hustling
hard for players, realizing that they
must perfect their regular line-ups
before the opening of the season on
April 18th. -
In former years it has been custom
airy for managers around the circuit
to fill the weak gaps with Southern
league cast-offs who are turned adrift
after the wedding out process in that
organization. 1t will be impossible
to follow that plan this year, how
ever, for a new clause in the constitu-
ton provides that no player who has
participated in a regular game in the
Southern league during the current
season will be eligible for member
ship in a Cotton States league team
At first glance this rule looks very
and it doubtless would
be under ordinary circumstances, but
it was framed for the deliberate pur-
pose of preventing Charley Frank
from converting the New Orleans
team of the Cotton States league into
a farm for Pelican players.
