EXTRA PAY NOT ALLOWED.
Decision Is Against Enlisted Men on
Recruiting Service.

The possibility of having to eXpend a
great annual sum and also to pay accu-
INFLATED back claims is said to be lobvi-
ated by ruling by the Court of Claims
that an enlisted man in the military .serv-
ice Is not entitled to extra pay while on
recruiting service.
The test brought by Spencer y. Phillips,
an enlisted marine, was decided yesterday
and the case dismissed. The claim was
for $2T.
The opinion sets forth that in both the
army and navy the custom has been to
make no allowance for extra pay for the
service i'm question. The government faced
suit for $4,000 i'm claims had the COM
plant been sustained.

Johnny Seigle. the new manager of tho Gadsden club, was in the city yesterday and visited the Barons. However, he says that he Is not after any players, hui just looking around. Seigle says that he has gathered a likely bunch at Gadsden and that he believes he will have team in the running. He recently released ten players.
 Seigle is an old Southern leaguer who played with Nashville. He played the outfield there and may be remembered for his spectacular fielding. Besides be- ing fast fielder, he slugged the pellet consistently and was very good man fer the team,
 Among the baseball men there are few who possess more baseball brains than the manager. He has played in the big leagues and has always held the teputa' tion of being one of the brainlest outiield' CTS ine the profession He was formerly with Cincinnati, but he was put out pl the ''big show" when he broke his ankle

FRANK CHANGE IS IN BIRMINGHAM
 WITH FIFTY-THREE

Ii seems as if Little Rock is extremeIS anxious to get into the Southern league again. Reports have been circulated that Little Rock baseball promoters have se- cured a five day option on Southern feaeue Franchise and that 1t is thought that they will take it. The franchise Is said to be either Mobile or Montgomery.
 The report is that Billy Hutton, treas urer of Pulaski county, and baseball s'bug' of the highest degree, has secured the option. He was the one who recently offered the Mobile club an amount of money, which was said to be s25,0oO for the franchise. However this amount was refused by the loyal owner of the Mo- bile club.
 Although the franchise upon which an option has been secured is not known, it is thought 10 be either Mont gomery or Mobile At Mobile the spirit is at a high ebb and. with Mique Finn as manager, the prospects look better than they have been some time. At Montgomery things do not look so prosperous, but Richard Tillis, the owner of the club, denies that he has given any Little Rock magnate a fve day option on the Montgomery fran chise.
 When he was shown a report to that effect, he said There is positively no truth in the report, and l will further say

Montgomery Owner Offers
 To Sell Club For S2O,OOO

, that l have had no negotiations of any kind with Little Rock people," Other baseball officials in Montgomery also de- nied the report.
 At Mobile. the officials think the re- port Is baseless and feel that there is not enough truth in the report to even deny 1t. The officials believe that it is just another one of the pipe dreams that the sport scribes write when there is not enough to make a page for the next edi- ton. The report began circulating Tues day afternoon.
 The report, according to the New Or leans Item, states that it looks as if Montgomery is the franchise that is being dlckered for. It states that more money has been offered for a franchise, and for that reason the report may be true The report seems to be a vague rumor.
 Montgomery, March 20.-tSpecial.)-"1f anybody offers me $20,000 he can have the Mont eomery franchise declared Rich ard Tillis. owner of the Southern league club, when questioned about the report that he had given five day option of the franchise to w. G. Hutton and associates But I deny the report that l am nsgo- tiating with any Little Rock men," said Tilis, and there is not, one word Of truth in It." Tillis declared that he has said all along that he would sell the fran chse for s20.000
 President Charles B. Jones said he had not heard of any option being given 10 Little Rock and said the baseball future in Montgomery looked good.

M'GRAW SELLS TWO
 PLAYERS TO MOBILE

Mobile, March -(SpeciaL)-The two new men turned over to Mobile today by the Giants are counted on to greatly strengthen the club. Jacobsen is an out- fielder and last season hit .50i with Rock
 Island in the Three r. league. He stands six foot three inches tall, and despite his height Is said to be fast on the paths and in the outfield. He will play left field for Mobile.
 Gus Gardella, the infelder turned over with Jacobsen, comes from the Connecti- cut league where he played last season with the pennant winning Springfield club. He hit 243 and felded .934, and Is touted as great pinch hitter. He will play third base for Mobile, that is if he beats ou. Joe l<neaVes, a youngster secured from Omaha, who has covered the diff fCuli corner in exhibition games and made a great impression, both in the field and at the bat.
 The Giants will fill any other weak places on the Mobile team when Manager McGray and his National league cham i, pons reach here the latter part of this month.
