ELLAM'S VOLS HERE
 FOR THREE GAMES
Altenberg to Play Farewell Game Today-Comstock
 Slated to Pitch

Skipper Roy Ellam pilots his fragile Vol crew into the Magic City early this morning for three games against the fast travelling Barons. The Vols dropped the last series with Moley's men in their own backyard and have suffered a great CT humiliation by losing two out of three to Atlanta this week.
 Ellam's clan has played in and out ball all season, developing strength at the most unexpected time and falling down when they have apparently started up the ladder On paper the team com aggregations, but for some reason or other they have floundered around pretty much in the same fashion that the Bar ons have.
 Helfrich is slated to oppose ComstoclS in the opener today and the locals should win for Commy had no difficulty in beating the Ellamites in the Tennessee capital last week. Nashville is somewhat weakened around second base. Ellam has brought Mike Burke in to play the key stone and sent Moose Marshall to cen ter in his place.
 Jesse Altenberg will play his last game with the Barons today. as the speed marvel leaves tonight for his home in Michigan. where he will report for army duty. During the remainder of the sea- son Moley and Red Smith will alternate in the middle garden

The other magnates in the league are sitting quietly by and anxiously await ing adyices from General Crowder, who is expected, in the next 10 days, to gay the word that will either crush their hopes or send them into deliriums of joy. 1t appears that the provost mar shal is really in favor of the national stated that he would make a special ruling on baseban's case in very few days" and it is hard to see how special ruling" can be anything but favorable.
 The players are not very much inclined to take the new scheme seriously and most of them are making plans to enter ship yards, intuition plants and other government works. Moley admits that he is all up in the air over the proposi- tion and hardly knows how to advise the boys. w D. Smith, president of the local club, Is on his farm at Springv!lie, and can't be reached for the present, but it is probable that he is not interested in the plan for he left town before the lat ter meeting of the moguls at the Mol ton hotel
 Chas. Colson of Mobile is said 10 be figuring on obtaining the local franchise, but he is lacking in the necessary funds and will have to find packers. Just how the present league can break up before the 2Sth is not known, but it is probable that another meeting of directors will be held next week if General Crowder's reply is satisfactory.
 Bob Allen and Cholly Frank appear to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-13

be the real sponsors of the new organi- zation, with Mike Finn, Chris Haury, Chas. Collson and Tom Watkins willing to come in if things turn out all right at Washington.
 T wish I could get some more dope on this thing, said Moley yesterday. "Of course it takes the coin to make baseball go, and unless the officials are ready to back up tho new league with real money it can't last long. There IS no doubt but that we can run along the rest of the season and break even if tha government favors baseball, but if they don't. l am willing to toss up the sponge and find something else to do.'

 The whole proposition will remain mora or less indefinite until something sa heard from Washington. and upon tkat something depends the fate of organized baseball in the south.
