Ft. Worth, Tex March S.-The South ern league has announced that it will play little worlds series of its own this fall, it's pennant winning club to play an all-star team picked from the seven other clubs. Just so, but if the Southern league really wants to put on an extra number here is the bid, and it comes direct from Texas league headquarters:
 The Texas league pennant winners will play the Southern league pennant win ners a series of seven games for the
 championship of the south, class or no
 class, and the winning team can have not
 only the honors, but the coin.
 Business Manager Paul LaGrave of the
 Fort Worth club has a plan for the financial end-the most important fea- ture for the players, of course. 1t is this;
 That each club of the two leagues put up $1OO at the start of the season. That means $500 Of this $500 shall go to the players of the team winning the series the other $500 to be used in defraying ex- penses, in case the attendance doesnt cover them, and all to the $S00 to be giver l the players. Is the Southern league on President Walter Morris of the Texas l league assures us he favors the idea.
 | This scheme appears altogether feasible I In the first place, both leagues are pro | tected against loss for the simple req son that the necessary expense money | has been planked down in advance
 l The Southern association for some req son or another looks on the Texas league l with disdain. It takes the attitude o 1 being far superior to the fast Morris cir cult, but the whole truth of it's unwil

 Southern Penndnt Winners

lihgness to meet in a championship series is-fear.
 "All to lose and nothing to gain is the attitude of the Baugh circuit when the question of a en-game championship series between the two leagues is preached.
 The Texas league in classification is just one notch lower than the Southern,
 but in actual playing strength it does not compare unfavorably. Few ball players from the Southern have gained more than passing notice after casting their lot in Texas, while any number of men from
 the Texas league have been regarded as stars after reaching the Southern. | A series between Texas and Southern l league pennant winners should be a
 money maker. Surely any Texas team
 that is fortunate enough to get in such
 a series would not be lacking in sup 1 port.
 l The only drawback for such 8 series is | that the Texas league closes it's season
 September B. while the Southern does not finish until September 15. However, if I the games are arranged, transforming dates could keep the Texans busy until 1 time for the big series rolls around.
 President Morris will take steps to in 1 terest President Baugh and Southern league magnates in LaGrave's plan ot 1 having southern championship series.

Atlantic City. March S-James A.

 There was a time" Gilmore resumed, when Sinclair made an offer of $1,250 600
 for 65 per cent of the interest in the Giants franchise and team, but that was sometime back It was not accepted The New York holdings are valuable and worth holding, but I am in no way figur- ing in any pending transaction"
 Gilmore added that he and Sinclair were out of baseball and were not con sdering any effort to return declaring that other activities kept them too busy for other investments "I am interested m the paper manufacturing business in New York now and orders are so great that 1t is impossible to fill them all as required.

Pitchers HiU and Black
 Report 10 Manager M0ley
Hrers Are In Fine Shape For Opening of Training Season Five Barons Are Now the Scene-Moley Has
 Plans Completed for Working Players
By FRED BODEKER

Pitchers Carman Hill and Karl Black arrived in Birmingham yester- day afternoon and reported to the baseball headquarters immediately to Manager Carlton Molesworth. Both hurlers were tired from their long ride but appeared to be in excellent condition for the opening of the train ing season at Redwood Field on Monday morning.
 Hill came from Corry, Pa, his home town, while Black came direct from Ironton, O., his winter domicile.
 Their arrival in camp sent the num- Der of those present up to five. Cecil Coombs, Arthur Johnson and Danny Clark were already in the city.
 .Moley stated yesterday that he ex- pected a few more to reach the city today. Arrivals must come fast from now until Monday in order to have the entire roster on hand for the start of the training season. There are 13 more Barons to arrive.
 q am really in fine form" was Blacks answer to the question, How are you feeling, Karl?" The Baron portwheeler says that his arm hasn't faded a bit and that 1t is even strong CT than last year Black had the reputation last year Of having the best arm of any man on the team. It

CENTRAL READY ID MEET MONTGOMERY
 CHAMPIONSHIP FIVE
Locals Are in Good COndi- tion for Closing Game of the Basketball
 Season

The High school championship of the state will probably be decided this after noon when the strong team of Sidney Lanier of Montgomy comes to Birmlns- ham to clash with the Central high school quintet. The game will be played on the court of the Birmingham Athletic club and will start promptly at S;So O clock.
 Coach Pritclard stated last nigt that his team was in excellent shape for the fray, which will probably be the closing game of the season here. He has been working with his crew for the past few weeks and as the result has them in the best form of the year.
 Central journeyed down to Montgom- cry last Saturday and took the measure of the Sidney Lenier crew in an exciting game Central followers are confident, now that one defeat has been registered against the Montgomery outfit, that their team can score another Win.
 The visiting team is one of the strong est in the state and will give basketball fans an opportunity to compare the strength of the locals against that of an other high school. Central has met but one defeat this season and that was from Birmingham college. Provided another defeat is not chalked against the Central five, Coach Prtchards boys will have a good claim for the basketball title. The locals will play their regular line up. Hahn will hold down center while Parks and Montgomery will play for wards. Jones and Hall will play the guards. This combination has been work ing well for the past few games and Coach Pritchard believes it will easily triumph over the visitors today.
 Referee for the game has not been an nounced, but it is probable that Prof. T. c. Young will do the officiating. A large crowd is expected out to witness the game. Unless other games are sched- tiled, the local basketball season will be completed with the clash.

Albany, N. T., March S-A personal plea by Les Darcy. the Australian boxer, that Governor Whitman reconsider his decision not to permit the fighter to ap- pear in the ring in New York state, be- cause he had evaded military duty in his own country, was refused by the exeeu- tive today.
