ATLANTA'S TWO SEASONS OF
LEAN EAR PRODUCED STATE
OF FAMINE IN SOUTHERN

There is absolutely no danger, In oul
opinion, that baseball will encounter its
death in the sunny south, although We
do admit the possession of the belief
that It's popularity, slowly year by year
Mill wane.
At the present time. in some circles
there is alarm lest next season the
Southern league will have to struggls
etrenuously against period of starva-
ton. This alarm is due to the fact that
the4 attendance in several cities OF the
circuit Is not as large as last year, or as
At should be.
There is trouble, financial trouble, in
the Southern league, although it is not
Of such a nature that permanent distress
IS forecast. Last season every bed was
not one of roses. and that the same is
true this season should not have caused
surprise.
It so happens that the clubs which
Compose the Southern league are not on
par in the production OF finances,
Montgomery, Mobile, Nashville and Chat
tanooga are generally reckoned as mem
bers of the sob squad For those clubs
TO lose money is natural.
The backbone of the league, from a
financial standpoint. is composed OF Bir-
bingham, Memphis New Orleans and
Atlanta. In other words, as a rule, the
excess of the latter four cities goes to
make up the losses of the first quartet
1t is readily SEEN therefore, that when
one member of the financially strong
weakens, the entire league suffers. There
is no doubt but that If Atlanta in the
season Of 1911 had had a team capable
Of holding hand in the first division.
affairs would be in a happier state this
.ear. And but for the fact that in 1912

HYDER BARR'S WIFE
is CRITICALLY ILL

Atlanta, August 1.-sncere sympathy is
being extended Hyder Barr, the Chatta-
nooga outfielder, throughout the Dixie
circuit over the tragedy that seems i'm
pending at his home In New Orleans. Mrs.
Barr, bride Of one year, is at the point
of death. Reports from New Orleans
early yesterday stated that she could not
live through the day. A wire last night
as to her condition was not answered.
Barr Is one of the most popular play
ers who ever wore uniform in the south.
His wedding of year ago to Miss Grace
Weaver of New Orleans eliminated
brief romance. both falling In love at
first sight" The union has been a happy
one, and II is sad indeed that Its JOY
seems about to be ended so suddenly.
New Orleans papers state that Mrs.
Barr was conscious for a few moments,
only after Barr reached her bedside, and
then sunk into a state of coma, from
which she has not emerged since. Not a
relative was with the wife when she was
first stricken. Her father was killed in a
wreck at Baton Rogue last year. and her
people moved to New York, leaving her
with her husband in the Crescent City.
Her mother is now critically i'll in New
York
