Vardon and Ray Will
Play at Brookhaven
AS Well as East Lake

Since the announcement that Harry
Vardon and Edward Ray, the IA
nous British professional golfers,
would play in Atlanta October II, it
has been arranged to keep the visitors
here two days to give them the OPP
pOrtunity to play over the Brook
haven course of the Capital City
Country Club.
The schedule now includes morning
and afternoon rounds of IS holes at
the East Lake course of the Atlanta
Athletic Club, the opponents of The
British cracks being Stuart Maiden
and Willie Mann, the club profession
ais. The following day morning and
afternoon rounds are to be played at
Broollhaven with the Mckenzie
brothers, professionals at that course.
The tour of the English players in
this country is attracting much at
tention. At Buffalo, n. Y, yesterday
they defeated John Harland and J. o.
Wilson, local professionals, in two
matches. The first game resulted:
Vardon, II; Ray. p; Harland and

Much But No Real Action Before Kavanaug
SOUTHERN TREATS DIXIE LEAGUE WITH DIPLOMACY

all respects similarly to the worlds
series between the National and
American Leagues.
THE latest development in the prog
ress of events was the publica-
ton in a number OF newspapers Of
a theory that the placing Of another
club in six Of the eight Southern
League cities would reduce the classi
fiCation of the Southern League to
Glass B, by reason of a suppositious
division OF the population on which
the league ratings are based.
The Dixie League, through w. J.
Bacon. its president, and II. n. Pharr
the secretary, has just mailed to the
officers Of the Southern League a re-
ply TO these assertions. They main
tain that the question is not one Of
population, but of attendance. and
seek to show that the attendance
would be increased by the introduc-
ton of a new league, continuous base
ball in six of the cities, and the added
spur to the fans interest.
This, they assert. was the result
in the cities Of the major leagues
which support two big league clubs,
A. imposing layout Of statistics
~ also is called to the attention Of
the Southern Leaguers, adduced to
show the huge increase in the popu-

can boast such percentage in growth

lions between the new league and the
old
Some of the information can not
be made public just now, but it may
be said that the officers of the Dixie
League are pursuing the plan of eff
fecting an agreement with the South
ern League by which continuous base
ball may be played in six Southern
League ball towns, the Dixie League
being the sole baseball occupant Of
two more towns, viz, Shreveport and
Little Rock.
The Southern League cities in
which the application of this plan IS
sought are Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Memphis, Chattanooga and
Nashville.
HE agreement, submitted by the
Dixie League for the considera-
ton of President Kavanaugh and the
Southern League directors provides.
briefly, that the new league be main
tanned in Glass A, under the terms of
the national agreement, whic hwiI
require The consent and approval of
the Southern League in order to gain
that Of the national commission.
In short, 1t is the ambition Of the
new league to present baseball OF a
quality comparable to that now
played in the Southern, with the ulti-
mate aim of improving both by prop
er competition increasing the interest
throughout the season, and winding
up with a post season series for the
Southern championship, conducted in

AND now about the attitude Of the
y Southern League, on which so
much depends.
The attitude, after a close scrutiny
OF the files in the case. appears to
be one OF courteous diplomacy.
That is to say, President Kav-
anaugh, the Southern League direc-
tors, and the club magnates are CIV
ing a pleasing imitation Of Messrs.
Talleyrand, Richelieu. ct al.
They are diplomating, as It were.
THE down to- the minute status Of
the case, so far as we can get
1t, seems to be voiced in letter from
President Galloway, OF the Atlanta
club, who In reply 10 @ bulletin sent
all the Leaf lle nagnates. suggests that

motors Of the Dixie League to appear
before the board OF directors OF the

Mr.. Kavanaugh has selected Mr.

the opinion entertained by the other

It could not be accepted because the
