NATIONAL BOARD
 DENIES APPLICATION
Rules That Smith Is Not a Free Agent-Decides on
 Federal Leaguers

Cincinnati, February 2S-The National Baseball commission today refused the application of Player Tony Smith of the
 Galveston club to be declared a. free agent. In making the decision the com mission report said:
 Tt appears that all members of the Galveston team were paid in full up to August 15, 1915. and that on the following day that city was visited by a hurricane in which many lives and much property were lost.
 "On the application of it's officials to the national board the club was accorded
 permission to suspend operation after August 2i and retain the privilege of re- serving it's players for the following sea son.
 "The commission denies this player S application to be declared 8 free agent and holds that under the circumstances the board was Justified in it's action that at most he suffered only temporary in- convenience in being required tc wait
 for 60 days for the six days salary due
 him.
 ''The Galveston club was assuredly en- titled to extraordinary consideration te- cause of the exceptional plight in which It was put Dy storm winch wrought ruin in its path"
 The national commission also issued q statement relative to tie new rule on players given their unconditional release by the Federal league. It follows: "In all cases in which a player has re- verted to a national agreement club, as the result of his unconditional release by the Federal league, or any Of it's clubs, it is the duty of the club % which he re- turns to promptly contract with such player, transfer him to another club or waive all claim to him in writing. Major league clubs are instructed to notify the president of their respective league what action, if any, has been taken relative to players which have reverted to them.
 Minor league clubs are requ, ed to file similar reports with Sscretary Farrell. IL all instances in which the interested national agreement club does not use ordinary diligence in signing Or disposing Of the player, its right to him will not be
 recognized"

SOUTHERN MAGNATES' HAD QUIET MEETING
President Baugh Says Meeting Brought Results. Bisland Case Not Taken Up Shropshire ResO- lutions Tabled Again-NO Deals Made, Says President Smith


 President R H. Baugh, Secretary Har- old NIcDermott of the Southern league, President w. D. Smith and Manager Carleton Moleswerth were back at work yesterday following their return from Atlanta late Sunday night, where they attended the annual spring meeting of the Southern league on Saturday. All were satisfied with the results of the meeting, but were at the baseball head quarters yesterday for only a short time.
 Tt was one of the quietest meetings that we ever held,' said MT Baugh yes- terday. 'The report that several clubs were on the war path and the like proved to be nothing but rumor, and the meeting was harmonious throughout, although we did have rather lengthy talk over the schedule.
 The schedule was only proposed to the club representatives and we were ex- pecting it to be changed. Several of the clubs wanted some changes and most of them were satisfied. Tn the majority of the cases their wants were impossible but when club made a just kick it was usually satisfied if possible
 'The Bisland case was mentioned, but no action was taken. Someone brought the question up but it was not up to the league to settle, and the matter was dropped. The controversy between Charlie Frank and O. B. Andrews was not brought before the meeting. On a

CLOSE GAME TONIGHT WHEN METHODISTS
 MEET CENTRAL HIGH
Cook May Not Play-BOth Teams Round Into Form. HOffer May Be Named
 as Referee

Central High and Birmingham college are ready for the second game of the series between these two teams tonight at the college campus at o'clock, de- spite numerous rumors to the effect that both teams would be in poor condition for the game. Both teams held final practice yesterday afternoon and although several points are in discussion, the teams are ready for the fight
 As to who will referee the game is still in doubt, but it is almost certainty that Director Hoffer of the Young Mems Christian association will be selected. Although Director Hoffer has not been officially named as yet, both sides have agreed upon him. Another question that will bring up lively discussion will be whether the Methodist forward VIII be allowed to play. It is said that Cook has been at the college for several weeks
 If the report that Cook has not been at school for any length of time, he can't play said Coach Pritchard of Central High yesterday afternoon "The report may be nothing but a rumor but if he has quit school, he wont be allowed to play" Officials of Birmingham college could not be reached for a statement but players on the team contend that Cook has never quit school. 1t is be- iieved, however, that he will play
 Central will start the game with the snme lineup as in other games. Cap tain Harrell and Montgomery, who will play forwards, showed up well in prac- tice yesterday, and Central followers are counting on this pair with Hahn, the elongated center, to mako the counters Roberts and Hall and possibly Jones will be used at guards.
 Central followers consider a victory ar- most assured if Gillam and Cook, the star forwards of the Metho lists, can be kept rom ringing any amount of goals It will fall to either Roberts or Hall to guard Gi'lam, who is the best of the two. Cook however, usually makes more goals than Gillian, but the team work of the blonde is the mainstay of the Pinson five Manager Norton will oppose Hahn at center. Norton has developed into a dan gerous shot lately and Hahn will have a hard time in keeping the Methodists leader from filling the baskets. Nein and Lahghinhouse are the Methodirts' guards. and although weak on siding in the team work, they follow their for ward well.
 If Cook is eliminated from the lineup. Central will enter the battle the fayorite but provided he plays, odds are about even. It promises to be a good game. and followers from both sides are ex- pected to turn out in full.
