 Private

The schedule committee met in Bir- mingham yesterday and drew up the tentative schedule for the 1916 season of the Southern league. The meeting was in session throughout the day and the results of the days toling was kept strictly private by the officials other wise than it was successful.
 President R. H. Baugh presided over the meeting. Charley Frank of Atlanta, A. j. Heinemann of New Orleans and R. G. Allen of Little Rock, composed the committee who met with President Baugh. The committee went in session about 9:30 o'clock at President Baughs office It was announced by President Baugh before the committee went into the meeting that they would remain in session until the schedule problem had been solved.
 The magnates must have worked with this object, for they completed their work late yesterday afternoon and with tee departed for their respective cities The schedule that was drawn up does not necessarily mean that it will be adopted at the spring meeting in At lanta the last part of this month The schedule as compiled, will be submitted to the directors at the meeting and any changes that they See fit can be made. The entire schedule may be changed or yet it may be adopted as a whole
 The committee worked hard and tried to please every city in the circuit. The numerous flaws of the schedule last year were carefully arranged as not to give the travelling teams the same trouble
 Every known condition prevailing was carefully taken up and the committee departed from Birmingham last night feeling that they had devised. schedule that would meet with universal approval

lc WefS around the leagues office that nothing could be done against the At fdnta club. The new members are not responsible for any action of the old club and it appears that Andrews and Blsland must settle the matter between themselves
 Frank laughed heartily when told of the affair. T certainly do feel sor- " for my old friend Andrews" said Cholly. chuckling to the very limit
 He ought to know he can't do any thing about it, so why don't he let it drop and take his medicine like a real sport? I couldn't help it. but now that it has happened, it all ought to be dropped.
 ''The records in the office at. Atlanta will show that Bisland received only S25O a month as called for in his con- tract However, if Atlanta wanted to give him S100 extra a month 1t was their business and not mine, as I was not in any way connected with the club last year, If club wants to spend it's money that way to encourage the players it's nobody's business but theirs. I'm sorry that it fell on Andrews but he ought to take the whole thing like sport and not start 'howling,'" ;"
 Chattanooga can do but two things. They can compromise with Bisland, paying him a high salary or either re- fuse to pay him anything but the $225 as offered in the contract If Bisland refuses to play for that amount he would then be barred from the game He will probably make some agree ment on the matter as there is no Fed eral league for the dissatisfied play CTS to jump to know. Since former own CTS of Atlanta are now out of the scope of the league office, the only way the affair can be settled is some arrange ment between the player and the clubs
 The final result of the disturbance is awaited with interest

 Another radical measure, proposed by President Ebbets of Brooklyn, would prohibit any club from having more than POGO 25-cent bleacher seats. The Boston club has 10000 such seats, the St. Louis club 5000, the Philadel- phia club $500 and the Cincinnati club 400O The question will come up to- morrow
 At the meeting of the board of direc- tors which preceded the league meeting, Percy Haughton of Boston automati- cally took the seat held by former President Gaffney of Boston.
 The following members were present at the league meeting: Boston, MT. Haughton and w. F. Hapgood Brook lyn, MT Ebbets; Chicago, Charles Weeghman; Cincinnati, August Herr mann and Thomas Cogan; New York, Harry Hampstead, Ashley Lloyd and Dreyfus; St. Louis, MT. and Mrs Schuy Ter B. Briton.
 The schedule drawn up by MT. Drey fuss was adopted. It includes only three conflicting dates, all Sunday games in Chicago, which is the fewest conflicts ever scheduled

 The league voted to continue a monthly pension to Mrs Mary Pulliam Johnson, sister of the former president of the league.
 It was voted to change the official diagram of a, baseball diamond in the official rules to correct errors in re- gard to the pitching distance, batter's box and the proper location of second base.
 All National league diamonds will be surveyed before the 1916 season starts and certified reports as to the surveys will be sent to President Tener.
 MT. Dreyfuss proposed an amendment to the playing rules, requiring that the shortest distance from the home plate to the outfield fence on fair grounds, shall be 270 feet instead of 235. The amendment was submitted to the na- tional commission, as it deals with a upon.
 During the day the Cincinnati club was negotiating with Patrick Powers, representing Harry Sinclair of the Fed eral league, for the services of Pitchers Albert Schulz and Gene Packard.

 Blsland played shortstop for Atlanta last year and although he was consid- erably off form, he was a high priced player. Bisland claims that Atlanta paid him s350 per month for his serv- ices while the contract called for only $25O.
 When the Atlanta club changed man. agement lately an agreement in the eXcnange was that mo entaglements of the former owners would reflect on the new owners When Charley Frank began to revise the 1915 team for the coming season Bisland was among the players that Frank asked waivers on. All clubs in the league waived on the popular shortstopper with the exception of Chattanooga, who l. raid the waiver price, which is S4O0 The reduced salary and player limit of the Southern league forced the clubs to cut the salaries of almost every player.
 Manager Elberfeld offered Bisland s225 per month for his services during the coming campaign. Bisland. in a letter to official of the Chatta- nooSa club, explained his case and the Lookout officials made public the en- tire affair.
 Q. B. Andrews of the Lookouts now wants President Baugh to hold the new Atlanta club responsible, which would make the Crackers take Bis1and back and refund the waiver price.

Best To matoes for Early
Planting.

No less than dozen gardeners in the
county have telephoned US this week or
asked as to what variety of tomato to
plant. For any who desire this advice.
we suggest planting about the middle
or last Of February paper of Earliana
tomatoes 10 a box in sunny window
and they will be ready for the garden
as soon as they can safely be put out.
The Earliana is the earliest tomato one
can get, but does not make continu-
ous bearer. It bears fine crop of
good fruit very early and then the later
fruit on it is small: To have summer
crop plant, pondurosa, acme. beauty,
stone, matchless. or any of dozen
other fine ones, in the open about April
/. In fact we plant three times. First,
the Earliapa, as advised, next the
standard larger kind about April, and
the same kind about July. By this
means we have plenty of large tomatoes
right up to frost and plenty of green
ones at frost time for pickles and to
put away to ripen on till Christmas.
No tomato will give a continuous sup
ply of large fruits from early spring
till frost, and If you expect it you will
be disappointed, seed catalogs to the
contrary notwithstanding. To have a
continuous supply make two or three
paintings during the season.
