GRADED SALARY LIMIT
 AND A CLUB HOUSE

Chattanooga, September S.-(Speciai.)- )- President o. E. Andrews of the local baseball club will go on record at the Tall meeting as supporting the present salary and player limits; he desires, however, that the salary be graded. In other words if only 15 men are carried he is of the opinion that s200 should be sub tracted from the total salary limit of that club. His idea Is to prevent ambitious managers from sacrificing quantity for quality and thus rendering the final ce- termination of the pennant winner largely a matter of luck. This is ever the case when clubs attempt to go through sea son upon an inadequate number of men. "If this provision is included says Pres ident Andrews, "I am of the opinion that the present player and salary limits arc all right.
 q am heartily in favor of the double umpiring system,' states the local pres ident and will do all in my power to have it retained next season. The single system. to my notion. is a matter of poor economy.
 "One matter that I intend to insist upon is a provision to force all the home clubs to provide club houses for the vis- iting teams. I believe that this change would be to the mutual benefit of all in- voIved It will be found that the saving on the road by every team will more than offset the slight cost of the extra club house. not to mention the added conven- fence for the plsyers.'

MOBILE IS SATISFIED
 WITH PRESENT LIMITS

Mobile, September 2S.-(Special) )-''Mo- bile is satisfied to have the salary limit remain at the present figure. The player limit also suits us, but so far as the dou- ble umpire system is concerned, I do not know so much. If had my way I wouli rather see one good umpire than two bad ones, or one good one and one bad one. I will probably be at the Birmingham meeting in December with Manager Finn and if any questions arrive touching upon amendments to the constitution we will handle them at that time.'
 Thus spoke Secretary Charles z. Cols- son of the Mobile Baseball club today. Secretary Cosson. who is in charge of the affairs of the Mobile club, said that he and Manager Mike Finn will in all prob ability attend the fall meeting of the Southern League Baseball clubs to 3e held in Birmingham on December b. MT. Colsson. who has been with the club since the re-entry of this city into the Southern association fold, has not misse meeting of the league since Mobile be- came member in 1906.
 Regarding any changes that might be made in the constitution of the league at this meeting. Mr. Colsson said that he was not prepared to go into details, as he did not know what questions might be brought up.
 Asked as to how he stood upon the sal ary limit now in effect. he said that it was perfectly satisfactory to the Mobile club.
 .sThe Mobile officials are not going to be fooled into any sliding salary scale arrangements said Mir. Colsson, and we do not believe that the other clubs in the league will fall into the trap so in geniously set by the illustrious Charles Frank of New Orleans. You will remem- .bsr that Mir. Frank had prepared
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-29

scheme calling for sliding scale in sal aries something like this: Each club was to have the privilege of carrying on the pay roll any number of men from 12 to Is With salary limit ranging from S2S00 to sSS0O. The Montgomery club and one or two others came near falling into this trap last year. but they had their eyes opened and caught on to the scheme of the Dutchman in time to save their necks. It is as plain as daylight what Franks scheme is. He realizes that the smaller cities of the league would grasp the opportunity to sign up club of play CTS at S2S00 per month. while Frank him self would go the limit In other words. he would have a ball club with about 15 men costing the full s3S00. If it is left to us you can rest assured that the sal- ary limit will not be placed upon a slid- ing scale, but will remain just where it is, leaving every club in the league to fight their battles upon an equal footing"
 The player limit which is now fixed at 16 men, including a player-manager, will remain the same if left to the vote of the Mobile club Where the manager is a non player the number of men allowed to be carried is the same-16, Mike Finn Charley Frank, Molesworth, Billy smith and any other manager who might not care to get into the game being excluded from the provisions of said limit
 Mir. Colsson is inclined to argue the umpire system at the fall meeting. The manner in which the double system oper- ated in 1912 was not at all satisfactory to the Mobile mogul. Colsson cannot see what good it does to adopt a double umpire system and then go down to the park to see two indicators of unques- toned inferiority rendering decisions and engaging in jawing match to who is the boss of this or that play. MT Co.'s son cited several incidents that occurred during the past season where the umpires became hopelessly divided as to authority when a decision was rendered. one un- pire claiming that he had the right and the other that 1t was up to him to call the play.
 Mr. Colsson is of opinion that it would be best to have one good umpire at first class salary than two inferior umpires on split salaries.
 Another thing that Mir. Colsson called attention to was the condition of the Southern league treasury, which, he said, might not be fin condition to call for the appointment of more than one umpire to each game
 The Mobile official said that he ex. pected very large attendance at the Birmingham meeting and predicted that the utmost harmony would prevail among the magnates. Mir. Colsson is & strong Kavanuagh man, and he expects the fa- nous Arkansas jurist to be on hand and preside with his usual grace and dignity.

SALARY LIMIT S4000,
 PLAYER LIMIT OF 16

Atlanta, September 2S.-(Special. )-Man- ager Billy Smith of the Atlanta team talked very interestingly when asked about what changes he would suggest in the leagues constitution at the winter meeting whicn will be beld in Birming lam Dec cei1ber 10.
 According ,o reports from Birmingham Rick Woodward. the young owner of the Barons would like to take the limit off. Asked along this line MT. Smith spoke as follows:
 ..I cant say that I am in favor of the mo limit proposition, for the very reason that I do not think that it would better conditions. In reality, I believe that in time it would disrupt the league
 Birmingham. Atlanta, Memphis and New Orleans could possibly stand the gaff. but the other cities, with their smaller population. could not be expected to draw big crowds under any conditions, even with a pennant winner
 "No, l do rot believe that this woulA be the solution. I am in favor of both the salary and player limits being raise and President Galloway Is too.
 "I think that if the present limit Of s35OO was increased to 5000, with l6 player limit, that 1t would meet existing conditions and enable the managers to get together a mighty good class of ball cubs.
 o1 course, l uo rot set tNi5 HSure ot Il at number of players. I would be wi!'g ing to have the limit raised just as high as the league could possibly stand. do believe that the present one is too low and the figure that I suggest above might be one that would meet with the approval of every club in the league.
 "As to the double umpire system. favor that most heartily, and l sincerely hope that they start with the double un- pire system next spring and maintain it throughout the entire season..

open affair." in which there will be great deal of action. After the success which was earned by sam White last season, when he demonstrated that 1t is possible for an end to make a running pick up and carry the ball over the field for a touchdown, 1t is not impossible that sev- eral of the Princeton players will devote some of their time to acquiring what skill they may in the White school.
 It is a play which is all right if it comes out all right but if some chap should not happen to be as fortunate as White. and instead of picking up the ball should overrun it and see a player of the other eleven come along and take possession If 1t, he would have hard time to settle his account with the head coach

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-29

Rick Woodward, owner of the Birming- ham baseball club. in baseball sense is "progressive.n
 At the present time he is planning steps for next season which, when carried out, will make his fellow magnates gasp with surprise.
 and, Furthermore. the plans entai.ii 2 considerable expense. will provide profit which will cause the early expenditure of good money to be entirely forgotten.
 Woodward, in other words is applying business treatment to a subject of enter tainment. and thereby will always finish we'll to the fore in the standing of the clubs, and with a lusty crop of shekc,s reposlng in his strong box.
 What He Plans
 In determining on the course which ne will pursue next spring Woodward has reached the conclusion that the team which makes an early start finishes well, and the team which leads up to July 1 $ the team which makes the money.
 Therefore, his purpose is to get an early start for his 1918 aggregation. To get the early start he knows that his men must be In good condition.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-29

Yale two good tackles with the pair of ends left from last year-Bomelser and Avery-and it is probable that the Ellis will keep their rivals on the dance this season.
 Cornell seems to be favored as pos sible quarterback. He was on the fresh men team of 1911. If the choice falls upon him or if it falls upon some other player, 1t Is assured that the Yale candi- date for the position will not lack for good coaching, as he will have Howe to assist him and Howe was one of those model Yale quarterbacks who knew how to handle an eleven and how to make the most of it's chances.
 There is no lack of good material at Harvard. The Crimson team has some excellent sophomore talent and It pos sessed some second string men in 1911 who arc likely to do well this season. There are places to be filled on the line, but Haryard has good men for the places and If the Cambridge men do not start the season with formidable front it will be surprising.
