Manager Mcintyre to Quit. Successors Being Men ti0ned-DirectOrs Meet to Solve Question
By c. J. FLOuRNOY

Mobile, May 17.-(Speclal.) Mobiles tangled baseball sit uation was considerably un- raveled tonight. Interviews with visiting magnates in the city because of the distress call from the local owners, showed that there was little disposition on their part to take the fran chise away from the Gulf City.
 While they didn't say as much, the intimation was that when all of the league directors get here everything will be strengthened out. In fact, President R. H. Baugh practically gave the assurance that the franchise will stay here.
 The principal development of the afternoon was that Manager Matty Mcintyre will positively sever his con- nection with the Gulls at the expira- ton of his five days notice to the team. His successor has already been discussed
