SOUTHERN CLOSES
PROSPEROUS SEASON
Atlanta Wins Pennant After Daring SpuGeneral Shift OF
Managers Next Season-Dobbs, Finn and Elberfeld
Switch Season Was Prosperous

Atlanta. September ATLANTA has won
the pennant for the Southern associations
1913 sea son. which closed today. This was
decided today when New Orleans broke
the Mobile-Atlanta tie by winning from
Mobile to ,. The loss of today's game
meant the loss of the race by half a
game Atlanta having won 81 games and
lost IS. while Mobile was credited with
81 victories and 81 defeats. BY credtable
work, Birmingham finished third Hard
and determined fighting by Chattanooga
landed that team in fourth place In The
second division Montgomery led. with
Memphis. Nashville and New orleans next
in order.
The final week of the 1913 season was
the most exciting in the history of the
Southern association. Atlanta, continuing
its desperate dash for the wire, opened
the week by taking two games from New
Orleans Then came the series with Mo-
bile, In which Atlanta defeated the league
leaders three times, tieing the fourth corr
test and the race for the flag. On Sar-
uroay both Atlanta and Mobile won, the
tie remaining unbroken. On today's game,
therefore hinged the outcome of the most
remarkable battle ever fought for South
ern association championship.
A month ago Atlanta stood fourth in
thesrace, making the performance of that

Falling upon the aspiring Gulls, the
Pelicans, hopelessly in the cellar,
downed Mobile and deprived Mique
Finn of a pennant after disastrous
slump. A month ago the Mobile
leader was conceded the pennant over
every club except Montgomery. The
Crackers were then in fourth place.
But suddenly the Atlanta club hit its
stride, while series of, accidents
gradually crippled Mique Finn's club.
Robertson, winning pitcher, was
spiked and injured Internally An old
malady affected Pug Cavet's eye and
rendered him in condition unfit to
twir again this season. After win

Atlanta has a club 80 per cent
stronger than any other aggregation
in the Southern Five 300 hitters, four
excellent pitchers and fast fielders
composed the Atlanta club. Mique
Finn had but one hitter in the 800
class and three good moundsmen. But
with this squad the willy Irishman
seemed destined to triumph over At
lanta.
Billy Smith was unable to manage
his club until late in the season. Gill
bert Price, who practically won the
Mobile series for the Cracker boss,
refused to keep in condition. The At
lanta team played without teamwork
and lacked spirit. But finally the
PLAYERS rounded into their true form.
Billy Smith should have won the PEN
nant in a runaway.
History repeats itself. The old axiom
that youth must be served was
evinced yesterday afternoon. Young
Fsinis Wilson was pitted against vet
eran Billy Campbell. The young Uni
versity of Pennsylvania finger hum
bled the veteran in fine form.
The performance was identical with
the deciding battle in 1908 when Nash
VILE and New Orleans fought out a
battle for the Southern league pen
nant. Young Vetter Sitton opposed
the veteran, Theodore Breitenstein. In
a hard fought clash the youngster
scored a triumph and won the pen
nant for Nashville.
Mique Finn has never won a PEN
nant, although he has always had
club in the running. The chubby
Hibernian has been chicaned out of
buntings on several occasions and
should not feel heart-broken over the
loss of the rag TO Atlanta Last sea
son the Mobile club spurted to the
front and drew within three games of
Birmingham. But the Barons won
four consecutive games and Mique
was beaten.
But the most striking loss occurred
in the balmy days In 1901. Finn was
beaten by a margin of six points for
the pennant by the Nashville club
The following year he finished in sec
ond rank, but a neat margin separat-
ed the two clubs. But in 1903 Finn
lest the pennant at the close on pro-
tested games. 1t seemed as If Mique
had scored a triumph but a late de-
cision reversed the rank of his club
and Memphis copped the pennant.

nant for the Mobile leader. When the

Misfortune played its part in contribu-

COTTON MARKET IS
BADLY UNSETTLED
The Clarke Amendment to
Tariff Will Stop Trading
in Futures

New orleans, September THE cotton
market is badly unsettled as the result of
the refusal of the Senate democratic
caucus to reconsider its approval of the
Clarke amendment to the tariff bill 1t
is generally accepted in the future mar
kets that this bill will do what it is
intended to do, which is to kill future
trading in cotton in this country, by i'm
posing a tax of $50 on every 100 bales
traded in, where actual delivery is not
made. Neither spectators nor hedge
traders could afford to pay such pen
atty as 1t, In addition to the commits
sion of three points, would mean a loss
of 10 points the moment trade was
made.
Because of the situation brought about
by the Clarke bill 1t Is difficult to say
what effect legitimate market influences
VIII have in the near future. There is a
decided dsinclination to enter into new
business, which means that unfavorable
weather over the belt could hardly move
prices UPWARD much. Any favorable turn
in crop OF weather conditions might bring
in enough selling to cause wide slump.
In such narrow affair as the market
promises to be it probably will not take
much selling to put 1t lower.
Rain is needed over a large portion of
the cotton region and good showers would
be called favorable. 1t is getting so late in
the season. however. that reports of crop
deterioration are almost certain.
The most that can be hoped for is
that weather conditions will he such as
to cause less deterioration lnan has
been taking place of late
The spot department has to a great
extent been demoralized by the attacks
made on the future market Spinners
are holding off in the hope of much
lower prices. At the same time the new
season is now so we'll advanced that de-
velopments of Importance may be ex-
pected in the spot situation. 1t re-
mains to be seen what effect the loss
of hedge trading will have on the mar
keting of the crop.
