TEARNEY BELIEVES ALL MINOR LEAGUES
 SHOULD QUIT JULY 4
President of Three-I League Urges All Minors Below Class A to Discontinue
 Operation

Chlcago, June 15.-Suspension of 13 minor leagues operating below Class A classii- cation after the Fourth of July games was urged by President A. R. Tearney of the Three-I league tonight, in an ap- peal to the leagues executives asking them to act concertedly
 The war and the unfavorable weather conditions will make this action neces- sary, President Tearney believes
 The Three-I league, one of the oldest and best known of the minors. will meet in special session here tomorrow formally 10 consider suspending after the Fourth of July. All of the clubs have lost heavi- ly because of indictment weather. The financial situation of the Three-I league reflects the condition of all the minor organizations, according to President the situation.
 Two of the 15 leagues under A classi- fcation-the Virginia league and the North Carolina league-already have sus- pended. Both organiza tions stood the strain less than six weeks
 The larger minor leagues, the Ameri- can association and the Pacific Coast league, have been seriously hit by the war and bad weather. Players in both organizations were asked to accept salary reductions of from 10 to 25 per cent or prompt release and the American asso- ciaton, to curtail it's operating ex- penses reduced it's umpiring staff from eight to four.

Noted GrappZer Arriues In
 Perfect Trim for Big TiH

Seat sale for the match started yes- terday It was unusually heavy for tNa first dav and according to Promo ter Brown Parks, a record attendance is expected. The crowd al the Draall- Freberg bout last week was large, but the local promoter is confident that the attendance at the match Monday will surpass all records for Birming- ham.
 Curley is one of the most famed pro- moters in the sporting world. He was Jess Willards manager at the time the big American won the worlds heavy weight boxing title by defeating Jack Johnson in Havana. An effort is being made to induce him to make a talk between the falls of the match Monday. He, no doubt, would give the fans some interesting dope on how the crown was won back to the white race.
 Freberg is putting in some hard training at the Birmingham Athletic club daily and states that he will be in the prime of condition for his bout with the mighty Pole. E. J. Parry has been secured by Promoter Parks to referee the match. His work has been one of the features of the renewal of the game here. The bout will probably start at S:30 o'clock.

Waldel1 Zbysczo and his manager, Jack Curley, reached Birmingham yes terday afternoon and the claimant to the worlds wrestling title, immedi ately went into final training exer- cises for his match Monday night at the Jefferson theatre. The big Pole is matched with John Freberg. the champion of Sweden, and one of the best grapplers in the wrestling game.
 Zbysczko recently defeated Strangler Lewis at San Francisco in fierce bout Lewis was supposed to have held the title previous to his bout with the Pole and his defeat practi, cally gives Zbysczko the crown, al- though there are still number of other claimants.
 The match Monday promises to be the premier event of the season in Birmingham. Freberg, by his past performances here, has shown that he is an excellent man. His recent vlc- tory over Dr. Roller, the great physl- cian- wrestler, has sent his stock sky ward and his followers here are nu- merOuS.

lings to the tune of z to 0.
 Only twice did the blows of the Nashville batters go to the outfielders Numerous Vols reached first base some through the wildness of Con- stock and others by the misplays of his teammates. The Vols had the bases filled twice, but Comstock worked out of both holes with rare ease.
 There was only one question in doubt which threatened to block Comstock of the league to go nine innings without allowing his opponents single safety. In the third inning, Howard Baker bunt- ed down the third base line. It was Red Smiths duty to field the ball but the Baron backstop fumbled the ball long enough to allow Baker to get to first without drawing throw. The Baron hurler was given an error, thus keeping his slate clean.
 FIELDING WAS FINE
 In many other instances, sensational fielding saved him of being nicked for a safe wallop. Kid Caton and Danny Clark, although they both committed bobbles on easy chances, made several fine stops. Clark robbed Kores of safety in the fourth when he ran back of second and made startling stop of his grounder and made an equally as startling throw to first for the third out. Caton robbed Baker of 8 hit in the first inning in practically the same manner
 The 'fnvincible pair around the key stone were also. in the right place at the right time on several other occasions.
 But 1t was Comstock's good pitching, after slight wobble, on two occasions, which prevented a Vol from tallying. In the fifth inning. the bases were filled and only one out and he came out unscared. The same occurred in the ninth.
 TAYLOR HIT HARD
 Wiley Taylor, the big moundsman of the Euamites, was hit hard and free ly by the Barons. Moley's men held the lead from the first moment, when Doc Johnston drove the ball over the right field fence on his first trip for circuit clout. Taylor was wild a~d, coupled with errors by his teammates, gave the Barons many other opportuni- ties to score. The Barons added another tally in the second. After Ellis was out, Bill Webb walked. Kid Caton beat out a hit to Sheehan and Webb raced around to third by some nifty baserunning. Red Smith, the Barons notorious pinch hitter tapped a bingle to left and Bill romped across. Comstock was safe on Ellam's error, fill- ing the sacks. Taylor showed some ex- cellent twirling here when he forced both Johnston and Southworth to pop up to the infield. In the fifth the Barons tallied again. Doc opened with screaming drive to the right field fence for two bags. Southy was safe on Sheehans error, Doc advancing to third. Cecil Coombs lifted a high fly to left and Doc scored. Southy was doubled attempting to take second.
 THREE MORE SCORED
 Three tallies were annexed in the sixth.

Philadelphia, June 16.-Convinced, according to counsel for the plaintiffs, that organized baseball had entered into no conspiracy to wreck it's busi- ness, the Baltimore Federal league club today dropped its $9o0,000 antitrust damage suit against the American and National leagues, the National com mission, and other defendants. It was announced that there was no settle ment out of court.
 When the United States district court opened for the fifth day of the trial, Stuart S. Janney, chief counsel for the Baltimore club, addressing Judge Dickinson, said:
 After a full consideration of this case last night by counsel for the plaintiff, circumstances have arisen which make us desire to discontinue lit. I desire to ask leave of the court, therefore, formally to file motion of discontinuance l would say that there has been no settlement of the case"
 NO OBJECTION
 In reply to a question of the court whether there was any objection on the part of the defense to disoontin- uance, George Wharton Pepper, chief counsel for organized baseball. said:
 "We feel very great qualification at the decision of counsel for the plain tiff. We should like to say to you that 1t is exactly as MT. Janney has stated, in no sense the result of set clement, that the action Is taken after consideration of the whole record and of the entire situation. and for reasons which the plaintiff regards as sufficient"
 The court then granted the disoon- tinuance.
