MOBILE GU[LS ID
 RETAIN FRANCHISE Baugh Makes Statement Re- garding Meeting-Smith
 Entertains at Lungll

After all the noise and pholicity regard ing the financial difficulties of some of the Southern league teams the moguIs got together yesterday morning in room 912 of the Tutwiler hotel, and after a three hours heart to heart chat it was announced that no franchises were to be disposed off and that Mobile would re- main in the circuit for the remainder of the season. The presence of Dr. Harry Inge, known as the dean of baseball in Mobile. at the meeting is held to be re- sponsible for the determination of Presi- dent T. K. Jackson to hold on to the Gulls. It was also stated that no assist ance of financial nature would be given the Mobile club.
 Other matters taken up at the meet ing was the guarantee given Visiting clubs and this after a short talk from all present resulted in a unanimous vote to cut the guarantees from $125 to $75. This will hardly aid Mobile as the Gulls are now starting on a long road trip
 Following is the statement of Presi- dent R. H. Baugh at the conclusion of the meeting:
 
 the satisfaction of all present and we feel that this meeting has been of ben eft to the league. Mobile will retain her franchise for the rest of the season and will not be given financial assistance The guarantee to visiting clubs has been cut from $l25 to $75 by the unanimous vote of all present. I also desire to state that during the course of the summer there will be two or three other of these get together meetings to talk over the welfare of the league. I am optimistic after the enthusiasm displayed by the di- rectors regarding the baseball situation in the Southern league and feel that pe,,er times are at hand.'
 Following the meeting, President w. D. Smith of the Birmingham club, enter tained the visiting magnates to lunch at the Tutwiler and in the sarrernoon the moguls attended the ball game at Rick wood Field. The visitors were loath to expressed their opinion of the excellent team that represents Birmingham this season. One of the moguls stated that it was not good for Southern league base ball for the Barons to win the pennant every season R. F. L.
