DIXIE LEAGUE
SHUTSUPS SHOP;
C0ULDN I PAY
Secretarys Harry Farr Hints to
Birmingham Man That ''the
Ship Has Sunk"
NJ Ew ORLEANS, Oct. 3O.-The
Y Dixie League has formed,

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3O.-The
N Dixie League has formed,
scheduled its games, played
them and had the pennant awarded
even before the fumes of a Worlds
Series had been cleared from the
atmosphere, according to reports.
The rumor came that they would
buck organized baseball If they could
not enter the ranks of the legitimate.
Then many fans were doubtful about
the brain part of the proposed league.
But they still held that if they failed
to get under the organized blanket
they would call a halt.
Now they have called a halt. Thus
the Dixie League finishes one of the
league disbanded in better shape than
any league ever has, for the only eX-
pense was the stationery.
They have called off the dogs and
decided that there would be no new
league. This intelligence comes from
Harry n. FAIR. the secretary of the
proposed venture. In correspondence
with a well known Birmingham man
who was feeling around for the job of
manager Of one of the clubs, Mr. F'arr
states that his association could not
gain recognition by organized ball,
and that otherwise they considered it
a hopeless fight, hence they were
going to let the matter stop right
where 1t began.
The wise ones think there was real
ly no room for two clubs in the cities
mentioned In the proposed lineup.
With the possible exception of Bir-
mingham and Atlanta, the other towns
along the route would have proved q
frost, and Shreveport and Little Rock
have been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. They were tried out
in the Southern, foundered along for
a little while and then fell by the
wayside, giving up their franchises. II
is even doubtful IL a doUble-team
league would pay in Birmingham and
the Cracker town. Especially does II
look doubtful that It would If an out
law league had been formed.
II major outlaws like the Federal
League could not afford to pay over
200 bucks per month, It does not stand
reasonable to argue that the minor
ones would be forced to come much
under this figure
Local fans take it for granted that
this message from Mr. Farr is straight
goods, and that the Dixie League will
hold it's funeral services soon and to
dust return.

track. Their its activities ended, for a
time But instead of grieving. Miss Tit
comb sat down and planned an automo-
bile library. which is now in operation
serving the farmers even better than the
library wagon.
Many are the interesting experiences
which come to the librarians ears. She
tells OF an eager lad who inquired if
fhere was anything of Shakspeare's on
the shelves. Il read one of his books
once" said the boy, and | think he is a
real good writer" Poetry Is always in
demand and books about the war are of
unfailing interest,
There are other ways in which Miss
Titcomb strives to reach the farmers and
their families with good reading Small
collections of books are sent to the coun-
try schools and along with them go
mounted pictures. The way in which the
interest grows is remarkable, Take one
school for an example. Ten books We're
sent the first term and read &c times. The
when the fourth term closed, they had
been read III times.
Miss Titcomb has been engaged in this
sort of work during most of her active
life. First she was librarian at Rutland
Vt. where the library was started by
women and has been managed by women
ever since, When she left Rutland II
was to become the first secretary of the
Vermont library commission and to
spend much time in organizing new H.
braries throughout the State. Then she
went to Maryland and began the unique
work which has attracted attention all
over the United States.
Much has been accomplished. but much
more is being planned, II Miss Titcomb
