BILL BERNHARD
NAY LOSE OUT
IN MEMPHIS
NTASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. -.
v Tom Mccullough, former

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. -.
v Tom Mccullough, former
secretary and treasurer of
the Memphis baseball club, was
in Nashville yesterday. and dur
ing his spare moments managed to
talk a little gossip Of the situation
in TurtletoWn.
According. to Tom. your old
friend Wilhelm Bernhard hasn't
got the job as leader Of the Tur-
ties nailed down by long odds. ana
as for that matter, there is lots
more than u slim chance that
President Coleman viii not find
himself reclining in the easy chair
in the Office at Red Elm.
Mac is the principal stakeholder
of the bunch of minority share
holders who raised all the fuss
about the way the club was being
handled, and asked that a receiver
be appointed who would GUST Mr.
Coleman as the big noise in the
management of the clubs affairs.
The case was to have come up in
the chancery court on January
16, but was postponed for two
weeks owing to a very heavy
docket
Mccullough claims that his fac
ton will win out in the fight, and
the man who offers the most mon
ey will buy the club from the re-
ceiver. Tom admits that the new
administration will more than like
~ be headed by himself, because
he claims that he did more than
anyone else to put the club on
solid basis While he occupied the
position of secretary treasurer
The team. so Mac states, has lost
close to $4,000 yearly since he was
thrown out and before that hap
pened the club was some $4,000
on velvet and had also spent more
than $4,000 in putting up a new
grandstand
If the dope works out like Mac
is sure it will, off will come the
managerial head of Professor
Bernhard, and in his stead, SO the
story runs, will be placed d one
time leader of the New York Giants
and one Of the greatest judges of
ball players and natural leaders in
the country today. Just who the
gentleman is and why he isn't hold
ing down a berth up in the Big
SHOW deponent hath naught to
say.

when the baseball rule-makers meet next
month, the change from four balls to
