 Outside of the Southern, only two other minor organizations has been approached by the Players fraternity. These are the American association and International league. In both the> proposition presented by Fultz has met with enthusiasm and the member ship roll of the fraternity has been swelled in consequence. It is Fultzs idea to gradually get players in each league interested so that in a few years all of the performers in the na- tional pastime will be incorporated into one big body. To bring this about he is first swinging the faster minors into line so that they can be used as an example for the smaller fry,
 Fultz has been in Memphis. Chatta- nooga, Nashville, while yesterday he dropped off in Atlanta. According to reports, players on the Memphis, Montgomery, Nashville, Chattanooga, Birmingham and New Orleans teams have welcomed the project for becom- ing members and will in a short time Pelicans was one of the first players Pelicans was one of tn efirst players in the league to enroll, while several other Pels have also followed his ex- ample,
 The fraternity was organized mainly for the protection of play CTS in matters of salaries and dis putes and already 1t has done good work for its members. At its de- mand the national commission passed several new rules during the winter that has improved the status of the players considerably. Fultz states that the outlook for the fraternity Is exceedingly bright and that he considered 1t only matter of time before all disputes between players and club owners would be settled by com mittees representing the fraternity and the National association.
 
 The sensational playing of Perry Adair, the 15-year-old Atlanta golf CT, in the southern championship tournament at Memphis brings to mind the equal phenomenal work of Birmingham youngster-Rollo Steinmehl-last spring. Steinmehl, who was then 15 years old, forced

BAUGH AMONG FIRST

Local Baseball Mogul Returned City YeserdayWas Fina Local Golfer to be EGminated-Talks About
 Young Perry Adair

R. H. Baugh, president of the Birning- ham Baseball association, and one of Birminghams most ardent golf devotees, returned yesterday morning for Memphis, where he has been attending the annual southern championship tournament.
 MT. Baugh was the final Birmingham golfer to be eliminated and barely missed getting into the semi-finals, losing to Jacobi of Dallas in the round preceding when the Texan played above his mark and broke all records, both amateur and professional, for the course. As 1t was he finished among the first 16.
 In talking of young Perry Adair. who wroked hisiway into the finals with Whit ney of New Orleans, he stated that the youngster was one of the manifest little fellows he had ever seen on a golf course and that the galleries were nearly solid behind him.
 Young Adair has wonderful drive," stated MT. Baugh, although he does not put much force into his swing. It is by following his drive through perfectly

TURTLES WIN UPHILL
 GAME FROM BILLIKENS

Memphis, June 6.-Rallying to the support of Pitcher Steele, who relieved Holmes for Memphis during the sec- lead of five runs and defeated Mont gomery 9 to in the ninth inning here today. The winning run was scored fly. Pitcher Lively, who started the game for Montgomery. weakened at the end of the fourth inning and was relieved by Black at the beginning of the fifth.

that he is enabled to get such good re- suits. Once he drove 470 yards in two strokes.'
 MT. Baugh also stated that he had fared much better than he anticipated and was very much pleased with his trip. Although he would not talk much about his playing his score in tho match with Jacobi was above the ordinary and would have carried him to victory had not the Dallas man played so phe- nomena1.
 Par for the first nine holes was 37 and Mr. Baugh made 1t in 3S. He lost out in the thirteenth hole when Jacobi won the hole strokes to 5.
 No one could have beaten Jacobi that day." asserted MT. Baugh yesterday morning. "He was playing marvellous golf and 1t Is only once in life time that man pulls the stunt. Only one other time have I seen it done and 1t was by an outsider in Montgomery."
 MT. Baugh predicted early yesterday morning that Whitney would prove too much for young Adair, as experience would tell, and last night his prediction came true.

T is always interesting to home fans
 to know just what people in the other A towns of the circuit think of their team. And Birmingham fans are no ex- ception to the rule. Chattanooga scribes have hailed the Barons as one of the most dangerous aggregations in the league and now come those of Nashville with similar opinions. The following excerpt about the Barons is from the Nashville Tennessean and was written by Jack Wye.
 This will be especially interesting to the local fandom as the Barons have been days and also because the Barons and Vols are closely punched and putting up warm contest for fifth place.
 The clipping from the Tennessean fol- lows:
 Manager Molesworth of the Barons is a man of few words, but Is one of the most capable leaders in the league. He always has a good ball team and this pear to be a weak spot in his lineup at pea rto be weak spot in his lineup at the present writing and if the team iS 
 1t is because the players are not hit ting at their right stride. T have a team of strong hitters, declared the Baron chief last evening at the Hotel Hermitage, but they are now in the throes of a batting slump. However, they must certainly find their batting eyes soon, and when they do there will be few If any teams in the league that have anything on them. My pitching staff Is doing great work and will win consistently with just a few more runs behind them"
 If yesterdays work on the paths is a fair example of the Barons' speed, MT. Gibby Gibson had, better apply some oil to his arm during the remainder of the series. The visitors swiped exactly seven bags yesterday, having little trouble in getting away with any of them. Part of the blame for this is due to the fact that they were able to get good leads on Renfer, but still they must have a good deal of natural speed. Mcdonald. Marcan
