Money Running Because Weather. Southern LET'S p
BAD SEASON MAY CAUSE CHANGES IN CIRCCIT

more than probable it willard if
the weather braces up a bit, the
Southern league may yet emerge
from this season with prosperity
and honor despite the worst start
it ever made.
If these things do not happen,
look out for changes in the South
ern league. One thing that is like
ly to happen is that a franchise or
two will change ownership, but will
stay in the same town. There are
several clubs in the league that tot
ter every year things break bad.
They are tottering worse than
usual this year and may need some
rescuing before the season goes
much further.
There is always an extra likeli-
hood of change in circuit on an
off year.
The Mobile and Montgomery
franchises are always tentatively
on the market The Little Rock
Baseball association is always ac-
lively in the market for a franchise.
1t will be Immensely surprising If
there aren't some franchise deals
pulled before this season ends.

AF TER RIVERS
AND WOLGAS7
By Tad

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. july Is
Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast and
Joe Rivers, of Los Angeles. may
straighten out the tangle caused by
the outcome of their bout on july 4 by
Coming together in a return match in
this city on Admission day. September
g. The dispute connected with the end
ing of the Los Angeles bout is bound %
force the rival lightweights into an
other meeting, and Jimmy Coffroth
seeks to be the lucky promoter to grab
the plum
Coffroth has already made move in
making a fiattering offer to Wolgast
and is confident that if he lands the
champion Rivers will be only too glad
of the opportunity TO take another shot
at the championship Cofroth quite
naturally would not divulge the terms
he offered, but it IS known to run wen
up in the thousands
AtteIl to Get Winner.
James was in Los Angeles when Riv-
ers and Wolgast fought on the after
noon of July and he lost no time in
getting to Manager Jones for Wogast's
services. Coffroth realized that THE
ending left lots of doubt in the minds
of the fans and that battles Of just such
unsatisfactory finishes draw big gates
Then, too, the local promoter says the
boys are well matched and that every
spectator would get a run for bis
money. 1t is Jim's plan to send the
winner against Abe Attell who now
is fullhedged lightweight Abe has
been in the care of Billy Nolan for
months now and the former feather
weight has packed on so much solid
weight that he will never again fight I'm
the class of which he was champion 50
long.
Kaufman May Box Flynn.
True. the supervisors of old Colma
refused Attell and Murphy the right 90
fight but Attell is not barred from bat
thing hereabouts. And the fans here
would welcome d meeting between the
lightweight champion and AttelL They
are wondering whether the Hebrew
still as clever as a lightweight as he
was as a featherWeight.
With these fights in mind Codroth Is
also laying plans for match i'm which
Jim Flynn will figure lie he can secure
a suitable heavyweight he would stage
the go. AL Kaufman is likely to he
selected by Coffroth as F'lynns oppo-
nent. for there are a number here Vhl
still believe Al has a good hghi 'ett
in him.

w THEN President Kavanaugh
w began cutting the umpire
staff of the Southern
league by sending Billy Carpenter
to the International and letting Bill
Hart and Dan Fitzsimmons resign.
he hit the game in the South a
smashing blow Nothing is much
less likely to promote a successful
financial season for the league than
a poor staff of umpires. And Kav-
anaugh certainly sent away some
of his best ones. Bill Carpenter
was easily the best of Southern
league umpires of modern days. He
made mistakes-bad ones. some
times, which the league reversed
as when last year he let game
in Atlanta run beyond the fixed
time instead of forfeiting it against
Atlanta, as he should have done
But in the main Billy Carpenter
was the king pin umpire of the
Southern.
The departure of Carpenter and
the cutting of expenses is one of
the by products of bad season.
Another is likely to be the chang
ing of ownership of some Southern
league franchises before the year is
out.

ITS been a hard season financial
ly Never in the history o.
Southern baseball has there been
so much rain during baseball sea-
son. 1t has caused the postpone

Then there have been other trou-
bles. In Nashville they tried to

state law and were in an awful
pickle for time. Then Atlanta,

league is run out of a fund created
by taking ten per cent out of the
gross receipts of every game. Nat
urany when the receipts fall off
the leagues income falls off ac-
cordingly And when the slump
hit the league this year President
Kavanaugh. who is nothing if not
a good finaNcier, began cutting eN-
penses. He couldn't cut the scorers
without danger of their putting UP
veil. He certainly didn't intend
to cut into his own salary. So
there was nobody left TO economize
on except the umpires.
Hence the cut in umpires
THE leagues hope of pulling out
l of the hole this season lies in
the closeness of the race. For it's
certainly tight Atlanta, even
though last, is still less than zoo
points behind the league leaders.
And Atlanta is no very bad last.
4 week of steady winning would
put the Crackers in the first divi-

league race any old time. Biz

impressive lead on the bunch. But
Mobiles hold on second place is ex-
tremely feeble, and Chattanooga
has third place by the skin OF its
teeth only. As for Memphis, it is
only in the first division by grace of
y half game, and the claim of New
orleans on the leadership of the
second division is not strong
enough to be troublesome. Nash

ker- wide lead over Montgomery.
