Chattanooga Management Goes to Nashville Meeting With Several Deals
 Under Cover

Chattanooga, December 14-(Special.) Those who are on the inside of the history of the organization of the new Chattanooga Southern league club are laughingly silently over reports emanat- ing from certain quarters that the clubs position in the coming meeting at Nash vile regarding the election of league president is uncertain. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The old owners held a mortgage over the club until the final stock arrangement is completed January 15 and a portion of the agree ment in force until that time is that the clubs vote for the presidency shall be cast in favor of President R. H. Baugn. The provision was inserted by the olo owners because of their friendship TOT the present league executive, Wlth q view of safeguarding his presence In the executive chair for another year at least
 The Chattanooga management VIII so to the Nashville meeting wlth several trades under their hat. They are willing to trade on almost any conceivable propo- sition that will strengthen the ciup weakest department-the outfield. The olo club left them without an outneloer' Ham Hyatt. who pastimed in right field last year, will be played at first base tnis season and Bob Messenger and Helne Jantzen are on the market. Propositions are likely to be made for several players notably Chadbourne of Memphis. hu mondson and Eschen of New orleans, Moran and "Tex" Mcdonald Of Atlanta It is not impossible that Frank hltcn- ems. regular local catcher, may figure III A trade, though Elberfeld is very parHal to the receiver. It is not unlikely that Fred Graft will be exchanged also' as Graff is dissatisfied with conditions nere' and wants to try change of scenery. The new club figures that these two players are rare trading material. Mes serger may also land another Soutnern league job; some friction last fall IS re- sponsible for his going elsewhere. Jant- zen seems likely to be sent to the Texas or New York State league.
 The new club will make brave Iisnl for a player limit of 15 and salary hnit oe ssOoo practically the same as last year. The low figure is necessary for the Ire of the game here, at least until 1t IS seen what the club will do with sunoay baseball.

Announcement was made from the Uni- versity of Alabama yesterday that Coach Thomas B. Kelley, coach for the past two seasons. had signed another two-year contract The announcement was made by Hugo Friedman, graduate manager of athletics.

During the past season, however Coach Kelley developed a won- derful machine and won praise over the entire south

measured 1hx1asx& inches and were
