SOUTHERN LEAGUE
TO QUIT June 28
Lack of Interest and In
creased Cost of Trans
portation the Cause.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, June 11.-After
the Southern Association Of Professional
Base Ball Clubs unanimously voted to
close the season on June 2s. Lack Of
interest and the increased cost Of trans
portation, together with. the govern
ment's work or fight" order, were given
as the reasons for closing.
By continuing through June 2s the
chises as well as all players. The reso-
luton as finally adopted reads as fol-
lows:
whereas. in view Of the national In
terest during the present war emer-
gency, 1t is unanimously deemed ad-
visable by the clubs comprising the
Southern Association, to suspend the
playing Of base ball games for the period
of the war at the earliest practicable
date;
"And whereas. in order to preserve and
protect the territorial franchise rights
OF each Of said clubs, 1t is mandatory
that the league continue in operation
until Juno 2s, inclusive:
Now, therefore, be 1t resolved by
the directors Of the Southern Associ-
atien of Base Ball Clubs, That after
June 2s, 1918, the further playing of
championship games in the Southern
League be abandoned until peace has
been declared, or until such other
time as the majority of the clubs con-
stituting the Southern Association Of
Base Ball Clubs shall deem it ad-
visable to renew the playing Of base
ball games in said association.
"And the present officers and di-
rectors of said association shall
continue in Office"
The Southern Association. as it is
known today. was organized in 1901,
and has operated continuously since
that time, although there have been
transfers of franchises at various
times. Shreveport, La. for several
years held q franchise in the circuit,
as did Montgomery. Ala, but repre-
sentation from these cities was trans
ferred several years ago to Mobile
and Little Rock.
Cities composing the association
now are as follows, named according
to standing in the percentage col
