r. c. Allen announced today that ne has
signed Starr for another year. The an~

Traveller president with Starr and with
Charley Schmidt, former manager Of the

managerial lineup in Little Rock. Char
ley Schmidt Bob Higgins of the Pelicans,
and Gabby Street of the Volunteers were
among those mentioned as possible sue
cessors to Starr, but President Allen. who
has always been confident in Starr abil-

with Starr and the two will try to give
Little Rock another winner next season.
II believe that Starr Is the best man
we could possibly get for the job Presi-

us a first division club. Well start with

DODGERS TOLEAVE
FRIDAY TO FINISH
AMATEUR BATTLE
Team no Longer Represents
Y. NJ. C. A.-Anderson
Writes Letter Explain
ing Withdrawal

The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company's baseball team, the
championship amateur team of Birming-
ham, will leave Friday morning for New
Orleans, where they will open a three
game series with the Brands champions
of New Orleans, for the remainder of the
inter-city series to decide the champion
ship team of the Southern Amateur Ath-
Ietic union.
The team, however will leave not play
ing under the colors of the Young Men S
Christian association, as since the sules
of that organization forbid members from
playing Sunday baseball The team viii
make the trip as scheduled, but will go
under the name of the Trolley Dodgers.
The Dodgers have the edge in the inter-
city series already and to win the south
ern title must defeat the Brands in only
one game. One game will be played Sat
urday and two games on Sunday, the
team winning the majority of the games
to be declared the southern champion.
The locals have a two-game lead ana by
winning only one game in New Orleans
can make it three out of five and conse-
quently cop the highest honors.
The winner of the series will be GENT
to either Cleveland or Cincinnati to meet
the winner of that division for the world )
amateur championship. II will be the fiji st
time in the history of amateur baseball
that southern team will contest for thu
highest title.
Secretary Andersons letter to the sport
ing editor of The Age-Herald announc-
ing that the Trolley Dodgers We're no
longer representatives of the Young Mems
Christian association, is as follows:

aid:
Dear Sir: 1 wish to inform the public
of Birmingham that the Birmingham
Street Railway Young Mems Christian
association has withdrawn the support OF
the association from the baseball team
known as the Birmingham Railway, Light
and Power company Young Mems Chris
tian association team, which won the
amateur championship of Birmingham
and the two games from the New Orleans
team in the all-southern championship
series. The reason for this action is that
the Young Mems Christian association
stands squarely against Sunday ball.
When the schedule for the series was
arranged l was out of the city. On my
return July 81, / called Mr.. w. D. Gresh-
am, president of the Birmingham amateur
baseball commission and informed him
that our club could not play Sunday bail,
and he assured me that the schedule
could be changed provided we won the
Championship We continued in the scries
with that understanding.
Now, find that the New Orleans club
refuses to guarantee our expenses unless
two of the games be played on Sunday,
which we would not agree to. If the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany or anyone take this team and per-
NIT them to play Sunday ball. I wish it
to be distinctly understood that the asso-
citation has refused the club permission
to play ball on Sunday and will withdraw
