MILES TENDERS
RESIGNATION AS
B.A. c. SECRETARY
Sewers Connection With the
Birmingham Athletic
Club After q
Years

Harry Miles. after q years connection
with the Birmingham Athletic club, has
rendered his resignation to the board of
governors and beginning on october
will be connected with his brother Ed
Miles, in directing the Birmingham school
OF dancing.
The resignation was handed in Tuesday
evening at the meeting of the board, and
1t was accepted with feeling of regret,
as Mr.. Miles has done more for the club
than has any one man in the city.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Miles gave out
the following statement concerning his
resignation:
81 have been with the club q years,
during which time the club has grown
from its infancy to its present standing
in the community, and | regret more
than can express leaving. But | feel
that it is best. I have contemplated the
step for some time and have only been
deferred from taking the move through
my love for the club. 1 feel as though
/ was part of its very existence. I am
greatly grieved at leaving. | have the
best interests of the club at heart in re-
signing as I feel that a new man will be
able better to bring together all interests
and factions. Nothing disagreeable has
arisen to lead to my resignation. 1t is
the result of several months contempla-
tion on the subject. 1 felt that it was
best for the club and best for me.
leave it with regret, but with my hearty
good wishes for a larger growth and
development in the future. | feel that
the club has a great work to do in Bir-
mingham and | feel that that work will
be done WE'LL"
No steps have been taken toward secur-
ing a new secretary, and it will probably
be a good while before a successor to Mr.
Miles is selected.

DRAFTING OF KRAFT
PROTECTS PELICANS

sure thing that lad Bill Schwartz not
allowed Cholly to retain Kraft until the
end of the season drafts which surely
were put in by major league teams would
have caught either Wilson or Bagby
OF course, the agreement whereby Nash
VILE will get the full draft price for the
Pelican slugger, probably is one made up
between Frank and Bill Schwartz. There
would be nothing to keep these two from
entering into an agreement whereby
Frank was to keep Kraft until the end
of the season. but that the Vols were to
get the benefit of the drafting of Clarence
by the big leaguers, in the event such
thing took place. Frank considered that
as Kraft had led the league with the
stick he might catch the eye of one of
the majors, and if Clarence went via bal
lot he would then. be protected against
the loss of one of the players that he
wanted for next season.
There is no chance now of either Wilson
or Bagby being called to the big circuits
via draft. 1t would have been pity
had Frank been compelled to let either of
these men go for $500. With Wilson,
Bagby, Stevenson, Glavenich and Evans
as a basis, the Dutchman should be able
to bunch together formidable aggrega-
ton for 1914 And he says that's just
what he's going to do.

ANTITRUST PROBES
TO BE EXPEDITED
McReynOlds to Utilize Serv-
ices of Federal Attorneys
Throughout Country

Washington September 19.-Attorney
General McReynoids is making vigor-
Gus effort to expedite pending antitrust
Investigations and to keep abreast with
all current complaints of violations of
the Sherman law.
AS step in that direction the Attor-
ney General has decided to utilize to
the fullest extent possible the services
of the United States attorneys through
out the country instead of largely con-
finding antitrust inquiries, as has been
the CUSTOM to the special assistants in
the department of justice. The plan is
to reinforce the staff of special antitrust
lawyers in the department with the serv-
ices of the United States attorneys. As
new charges of monopoly and restraint
of trade are received they will be referred
in many instances to conveniently To-
Gated United States attorneys equipped
to undertake Investigations
In that way it is expected that anti
trust work which is growing fast will
be conveniently distributed and the
crowded condition a Washington relieved
With that policy in view the Attorney
General is giving unusual attention to
the character and ability of men he is
selecting for United States attorneys.
1t was pointed out today that a mann
moth task faces the Attorney General and
G. Carroll Todd, his assistant in charge
of antitrust work. There are many cases
pending in the courts especially a large
number filed in the closing days of the
Taft administration, which must be pre-
pared for trial. In addition investiga-
tions of great importance have been un-
dertaken and rarely day passes that
the department does not hear of some
new trust. Among the big investiga-
tions under way which are to be ex-
pedited are those of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad and the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany. The former is nearly completed
but the end of the latter is not yet in
sight.
