WHY BIRMIN CHAM

The Southern Association Of Baseball
Clubs will meet in Birmingham Dec. 10,
ON the statute books Of the association
there is a unanimous resolution adopted
at the last meeting Of the league, that
all meetings of the association be held
In New Orleans, irrespective of which
team wins the p%ennant.
President Baugh's attention has been
called to the matter, but he says that
the meeting should be held In Blrming-
ham ito save expenses despite the
fact that tho league unanimously agreed
to hold all meetings in New Orleans,
The league president, by onc wave Of
his hand, ignores the laws Of the as
ISOLATION to SUIT his own pleasure, and
expects the club owners to submit.
There's considerable relief i'm the fact
| that the league has but Ii more days
OF such high-handed procedure,

brought the scrappln'est football TO
Memphis that Bluff CltIans have ever
seen, and though outweIahed by the

wedge which proved too much for the

Prior to the game the Kid said his

pooted TO win against the Park field

that. You never SAN a team which

who has shown that he Is made Of the
right stuff and that when duty called
he answered the appeal and did his bit
to make the world a Snakeless Eden.
High Priced Men Going.
There we're players In tho Southern
last year who were getting no less than
$500. But next season this species will
be conspicuous by his absence, The
high-priced player win either undergo
a cut In his pay envelope or he viii be
permitted TO retire. Some Of the old
hirds who have been playing ball all
their lives Will be among those who aC-
Cept the cuts gracefully and It Is rea-
sonablo to assume that q number OF tho
old guard will be on hand, such ms
Hub Perdue, They realize that condi-
tions have changed and that the game
must be run on a more reasonable basis
than formerly.
This Is the one place to begin to as
sure the league Of n successful season
In 1919, The players deserve all they
can get and nobody blames them for
pulling down as much money AS posi-
bile, but the club owners have heen bled
white In this league for the past few
seasons, and the time has come when
some of the obligations Of tho clubs
must be met, There has been no big
money made in this league, despite the
belief to the contrary on the part of
uniformed bugs, who picture the club
owners rolling In wealth. The club
owners want to recoup their losses this
year and get all the various teams back
on a rock bottom basis,
Players will work for less In 1919, and
that's assured. It's like removing an
aching tooth-tt must be done to help
the league, It's going to hurt n while,
but in the end it will prove profitable
and beneficial to all concerned.
