Marked Evidence of Uneasiness
Among the Heads Of Different
Railways.
(By United Press)

%
Washington, Aug. 23.-There was
marked evidence of uneasiness
among the railway presidents here
today. The presidents still have no
solution to Wilson's proposition.
They are divided among themselves
and have been unable to agree upon
any propositions.
Some of the presidents are reported
as saying "let us accept Wilson's
proposition and let the result be on
Wilson's head" -. '".@ o. = :
Act Independently.
Unless q headway is made indica-
tions are that some of the railways
may act Independently and accept or
reject the proposals.
S President Wilson called a confer
ence of Chairman Newlands and Ad-
amson of the senate and house in
terstate commerce committees. The
purport of the meeting has not been
disclosed. It is considered probable
that it concerns legislation resulting
from the railway presidents confer
ence held last night. - -assss.ss:.2-. = ~ -

ANOTHER STAG AT B.A. [. TON|GHT;;B|G
 CROWD|SEXPECTED
Entertainment Will Start in the Gymnasium at 8::30 O'ClOck-Programme
 in Doubt

Secretary J. D. Beavins announced yesterday afternoon that everything g was i'll place for the December stag of the Birmingham Athletic club to- night in the clubs gymnasium. The programme, which starts promptly at S30 o'clock, has not been announced and the members who attend will be treated to another pleasing surprise.
 Seats were erected in the gymnasium yesterday to accommodate the large crowd which is expected to attend. Posters announcing the stag have been placed over the clubrooms and due to the fact that such an excellent pro- gramme was rendered at the last en- tertainment. a record crowd is antici- pated.
 Dr. James E. Dedman, who is in charge of the entertainment, together with several assistants, has been work ing hard for the past week to arrange a good programme. T believe we have another good offering for the mem bers," said Dr. Dedman yesterday. We have a great variety of acts which are sure to please. I hope a large num- Der of the club members will be in attendance"
 The affair is solely for club mem- bers The membership now numbers over the 800 mark and is gradually increasing At the present a member ship campaign is on and wonderful re- suits are being obtained.

Georgia Tech IS Planning
 Long Reign on Gridiron

Atlanta December 13.-Georgia Tech plans a long reign in the southern foot ball kingdom.
 Coach Heisman and his able assistants, in gathering in the talent, seems "heeled'' for the campaigns of 1917 and 1918, and nothing less than three pennants in a row is the Jackies ambition. Further than that they are not saying; they are letting the future beyond 1918 take care of itself for the present, and indeed it might be said that few teams plan ahead, even as far as three years.
 lis true the Jackets lose sFroggie Nor rison, great quarterback; Tally" John ston, captain and halfback, this year; Jim Senter, the south's best end previous to the injury that put him out this season, and Lang, the veteran guard. The three first named are the last players remain ing of the famous Heisman drafts from Chattanooga in 1912 and 1913 and Chatta- nooga football can count itself respon- sible for much of the Tech success of the past two seasons.
 Losing four such stars as these might seem an irreparable blow for any ordi- nary eleven, but look what Heisman has to replace them:
 Joe Guyon, the star Indian half, con- sidered by those who have seen him play as the superior of even Strupper, which is the last word in recommendations will fill the hole made by the loss of Captain Johnston.
 Then there is Butner, the Georgia boy and former star end on Brown, who will be eligible next season. He is a back,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-14

as well as end, and can fit into the Heis- man order of things in fine style
 Bowling, the former Florida tackle, is certain to give some one battle for a berth in the Tech line next season.
 Of the championship 1916 team, the Jackets will return in the backheld Strup- per and Spence, of the first string men; Glover Quill and Hill, the first string subs, and Shaver, McReynolds Fellows, Griffin, Ansley and Teague of the sec- ond string.
 In the line there will be Dunwoody and Bell, the two regular ends; Phillips the regular center, and Fincher, the regular guard, with Alexander, Mauck and Car penter, the regular tackles, as almost certainties. Add to these Meadors, Puck ett, Bryant, Preas, West and other sec- ond string men, and the prospects can indeed be considered rosy, as every one of these men have had the benefit of a actual experience in games to make them the finished product.
 Techs star is in the ascendancy and as most of the players have at least two more years, 1917 and 1918 can be consid- cred banner years for the eleven. In 1917 Alexander, Mauck, Carpenter and Spence will be the only losses it being 1919 before any other eleven can look for any break in the Tech ranks of stars And there will then probably be others to choose from.
 From the second division class Tech has arisen to first place in two years and for at least two years more she is ex- pected to reign as Vandy did forp so long.
 It has been wonderful season.

Another High SchoolClain1s COnference Championship

Another high school lays claim to the championship of the A. I. A. c. Although a bit tardy, the Marshall County High school has disputed the fact that the title lies between Central and Bessemer, and Is willing to settle it in arbitration or on the gridiron. The championship has been awarded to no team and will not be.
 The letter, stating the claims of Mar shall. is from Coach J, w. Stephenson. and is as follows:
 To the Sporting Editor of The Age
 Herald:
 Marshall High has lost only one game this year, and that to Marion County. who is not member of the conference, having been declared ineligible.
 So far as we know, neither Bessemer or Central have lost a game this year to a conference school. and if this be true, the championship could be settled only by the comparative score method. By this method we have the edge both on Central and Bessemer. These two teams tied on Thanksgiving, and must, therefore, be placed in the same class.
 Marshall defeated Etowah 45 to 0. Cen tral defeated Etowah 26 to 0. giving Mar shall an advantage of 19 points by this route.
 Marshall defeatd Scottsboro to o. Bay Tor defeated Scottsboro 13 to 0. Baylor defeated Central 32 to 0. Comparing the two teams from this angle. Marshall
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-14

would have an advantage of 25 points over Central
 Practically all of Marshalls games were played off the campus. while Centrars, most, if not all, were played on the home grounds. We believe too, that the sched- ule of Marshall was as hard, if not the hardest, of any high school in the state A complete record of the games played is as follows:
 Marshall F, Anniston O.
 Marshall 45, Etowah 0.
 Marshall 12, Jacksonville 6.
 Marshall 6, Scottsboro o.
 Guin 31, Marshall 0.
 Abertville 0, Marshall O.
 Our claim is based on the above If it is not the business of the conference committee to settle the question who is champion we are willing to leave it to the various coaches in the A. I. A. c. who are not claimants for the champion ship, or we are willing to play any team who is said, by the conference commit tee or the various coaches, to have as good claim as ours. The following men compose the Mar shall High school team; Bolding and Per- kins, center; Vardaman, Barnard, Fletcher and Hooper, guards; Cullbreath and Barnes tackles; Brown Campbell, Allbrittain and Bodine, ends; Goodwin itcaptain), left half; Wilson, right half; Stephen, fullback; Boone, quarterback. Yours truly. J. W. STEPHENSON.

Brooklyn, December l3-One of the greatest spring practice, tours ever con templated by a Brooklyn team is in course of construction by President Eb- bets, who is still at Atlantic City, pre- pairing for the National league meeting. The Superba boss plans a campaign of the south and west with the worlds champion Boston Red Sox, in which the fans of those sections will have a chance to see the rival worlds series teams re- newing their combats of last October.
 The Red Sox will do their spring train ing at Hot Springs, as usual, next March, and the Brooklyn club has about com pleted the transfer of it's training camp from Daytona to the City of Vapors. Should the tour be arranged, the proba- bilities are that both clubs will make an early start for Hot Springs, leaving there two or three weeks before the open ing of the championship season for q series of games in all the big southern cities and those of the middle west
 When Ebbets returned from New Or leans on Thanksgiving day, he announced his intention of selecting Hot Springs for the 1917 training camp, and gave out a schedule of exhibition games which he planned in such cities as Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, St. Joseph. Davenport, Peoria, Indianapolis.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 MOGULS CONTINUE
 IMPORTANT CONF FAb
Dooin May Manage Roches- ter-Only P Players to Be Allowed Each
 Club

New York, December 13-W While the Ma tional league club owners spent almost eight hours discussing league business at their session here today, Secretary Heyd- Ter said tonight that a great deal re- mained to be done and it is probable that the annual meeting may not be finished until Friday.
 President Weeghman of the Chicago club said tonight that he had made an appointment with President Haughton of Boston to talk over tomorrow morning the deal for the services of Fred Mitchell as manager.
 The league decided that every player under contract is to be counted in the 22 allowed to each club, as voted on at yes- terday's session.
 By unanimous vote the league will take adequate care of John B. Day. former owner and one of the founders of the New York club, during the remainder of his life. He is suffering from paralysis. Several deals and trades were talked of during the day, but none were closed. While lacking official confirmation, it was generally understood that Charley Dooin will be manager of the Rochester International league club next season.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SOUTHERN LEAGUE MOGULS TOMORROW
Baugh, McDermOtt and Smith Leave Today for Nashville-Salary Limit
 Will Be Raised

President Robert H. Baugh, Secretary Harold McDermott of the Southern league, and President w. D. Smith of the Birmingham club, leave today for Nash vile, where the annual fail meeting of the league will be held tomorrow. The meeting is of vital importance. Several issues are scheduled to hold the attention of the magnates and the meeting is ex- pected to be one of the most heated in several years.
 That President Robert H. Baugh will be the salary and player limit will be in creased sufficiently to warrant better baseball in the Southern league next year is the early indications. The salary and sJlay CT limit is almost certain to be raised.
 1t is understood that six of the eight clubs in the league favor an increase. Chattanooga and Mobile are supposed to be the lone clubs in the circuit which will fight the effort to place the limits higher. That these two clubs will fight the proposition is not assured and it may be that every club ill the league will go on table as fayoring the increase.
 Indications at the present are that the salary limit will De placed al S3600, while
 
 carry will be limited to 16. With these limits, baseball in the Southern league would resume the high standing which it held few years ago prior to the war against organized baseball by the Fed erai league. Atlanta, Birmingham, Nash N1ne, New Orleans, Memphis and Little Rock have already announced as in facor of the S3600 limit, while Mobile and Chat tanooga may favor a raise, but not to S36O0
 President Baugh is slated to be re- elected over the president of the Nashville club, Clyde Shropshire, by vote of five to three, the same as last year. Charley Frank, Bob Allen and Shropshire himself will cast their vote against Baugh, but the Birmingham, Chattanooga, Memphis and Mobile owners are practically certain to vote for reelection. Jules Heinemann, the New Orleans boiler, is said to be in nouneed as yet.
 There will be several other minor topics favor of Baugh, although he has not an- to come up at the meeting in addition to the routine business. Whether another list of reforms" by Shropshire will be in- troduced remains to be seen. The meet inS will be at the Hotel Hermitage and will take up the entire day The Nashville club it is understood, has planned to en- certain the visitors royalty.
