President Martin stated this morning
that he had received nothing official
as yet regarding the matter.
The league is to stand pat with the
present eight clubs, and there is no
room for any other team. Chattanooga,
which was the only weak sister in the
circuit, has come through in fine style
and will be ready to be one of the
strongest teams. The other seven clubs
have thought Of nothing else but re-
tanning their franchises and operating
as usual.

ATLANTA
Charley Frank Realizes He
Must Have Fast Club to Get
Patronage.

ATLANTA. Ga, Jan. 23.-Atlanta
baseball fans can expect to see a win
ming nine out at old Poncey this sea
son. Manager Charles Frank and the
directors Of the club are a unit on that
subject.
There has been a rumor going the
rounds OF late that the Atlanta fran
chise was for sale. This, Vice-Presi-
dent Frank Reynolds fatty denied and
stated that the club was in splendid
financial condition and ready for the
season of 1919 to open.
Frank Reynolds and the other di-
rectors believe that the 1919 season is
going to be a good one, the best one
locally that Atlanta has ever expert
enced.
But they realize also that this IN
terest will not be sustained unless At
lanta has a winning ball club, and they
that end.
No one realizes better than Charley
Frank that only a winner pays in At
ANITA, n that's the kind Of a ball
club that will be at Poncey this sea-
son. The putchman's hat is in the
ring, and when he filings his lid into
the battle there is certain to be some
thing happening.
Last year Frank saw the handwrit-
ms, on the wall. He knew that base
ball would not last out the season, and
he made no real effort to strengthen
the Crackers. But this season it is
going to be different, and with the
infusion of young blood into the team
there is going to be a merry scramble
for places on the nine.
The return of boys from the service,
Scrappy Moore, Chick Galloway and
Tom Sheehan being three OF them that
can be recalled offhand. will lend to
the popularity Of the nine, and other
service men will be welcomed to the
Crackers: Sammy Mayer, Roy Moran
and AID Brennan are three of the vet
Grams who are almost certain to be on
hand when the gong rings.
The Southern league clubs this sea-
son will be a mixture of veterans and
youngsters. and that the class of ball
that is played will be better than usual
and the clubs about evenly balanced
with the limiting of the number of
class A ball players is certain.

valuable information into the palm-leaf

likely talent for the 1919 Tribe.
Dolly is a good judge of baseball

he has engaged in a number of diamond
skirmishes. and it is safe to say that
he has many names of embryo Cobbs,
Speakers and Mathewsons in his note
