the same opening date as the original

Another matter to come up for
consideration will be the proposition

1t is likely that this matter will De

understood that opposition has arisen

the proposition will be voted down. 1t

ALL The LATEST SPORTING NEWS
Cotton States League
Now Down And Out

The following clipping from a Mis-
sissippi exchange ought to serve as a
warm TO teams in the Georgia State
league that are planning to evade the
salary limi during the coming season.
President Kalmon is correct whan he
says that the teams must stay within
the limit, or the league will not last
many more seasons.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 23-Dear, de-
funct and decease6 are adjectives that
but mildly describe the rigor mortis OF
the Cotton States League. The once
classy little organization that has
furnished the big leagues with so
many star players is dimised beyond
all hope of resurrection. There is no
possibility whatever that an attempt
will be made to have organized base
ball on the old circuit, or any part
thereof during the coming season, and
all players under reserve clauses are
now looking about to find contracts in
other company.
The refusal of President ]. E. Redus
IN serve another term in office nut the
finishing touch on what had appeared
inevitable ever since the close Of the
1918 season. There is not anywhere
in sight man with genius for organi-
cation who can patch up circuit once

dent, might have done it, but Lewis

HORNET PARK WILL
BE ENLARGED

Thomasville, Ca, Feb. 23.-The work
on the baseball park fence and grand
stand has been completed by Contrac-
tor Stacey, and the work accepted by
PRESIDENT Mays. A ten-foot fence has
been erected around the entire outfieid
and the park enlarged by thirty-f1T
feet in many places. 1t is now one of
the largest parks in the circuit and the
man who clouts the ball over the
centerfield fence will deserve two
runs instead of enc.
The diamond will be plowed and
the park leveled, work on which will
commence at once, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. John Vaughn, who has
offered his services for the improve
ment. When completed the park will
compare with any minor league park
il. this section of the country. The
seating capacity of the grandstand
has been increased a hundred and fifty
and the bleachers moved back and en-
larged.

has moved permanently to the great
west, anu none of the former presi-
dents of the rganization-men like
Compton, Scctt, Wheatley or Crowder
are willing to undertake the job.
When a post norton of the Cotton
State league is written it will undoubt-
eddy show that the dissolution was
due chiefly to the fact that no scheme
of any sort could be devised to keep
the clubs within the salary limit at
anywhere, from $1,000 to $1,4O0 per
month including the manager, and be-
fore the season was well under way it
would become evident that some man
ayers were paying anywhere from
81, 500 to $4,000 per month for players.
For this reason, the game has been
improbable to the very limited num-
Ter of enthusiasts in each franchised
city who put up cash to keep the sport
going, and they have wearied of we'll
doing. The fans kept up an insistent
demand for faster and classier game.
but, when put to the test, were UNI
willing to contribute any of the funds
with which to achieve this landable
ambition.
1t is not likely that another meet
ing of the directors will be called to
arrange for the obsequies. They will
simply allow the league to be consid-
cred dead by common consent.

AUBURN'S TEAM
BADLY CRIPPLED
(By Mike Donohue.)

With the passing of the cold weather
baseball practice is again under way.
Meanwhile baseball prospects, how
ever, received several severe shocks.
The first blow came when Moulton,
captain of last years team, left col
lege to prepare for Annapolis. VIII
liams, star catcher of last years team
was elected captain only a few days
before he also decided to leave col
lege. On top of all this Locke, right
fielder and pitcher, was ruled ineligi-
Bile because of summer ball. AS Locke
and Williams led the team in hitting
last year, their loss will be very
severely felt This leaves all the in
field, except Davis and Driver in the
box and one outtield position wide
open, It-means practically new
team.
Mcneil, one of the promising new
candidates, is down with the humps
and will hardly be in shape until the
season is well under way. Hairston
from Marion, will do the bulk of the
catching and will be a good one. He
will compare favorably with almost
any college catcher. The promising
candidates for the infield are numer-
Gus. Louisell, who has had some ex-
perience at the position, is the most
likely candidate for first base. Arnold
will probably play short, where he did
well in few games last year Wynne
will be brought in from the outfield
and given a try at the hot corner, ami
Mcneil was slated for second but the
mumps put a quietus on his activities
for a while. 1t is hard to tell just
who will hold down that position
pending his recovery. The outfield is
better off than the infeld In the way
Oh candidates. Red Harris, Bon
ner and Graydon, of last years team,
are in college, while Steed Harris ana
Roberts are promising players. A very
