NEW ORLEANS, La, April 21.-The

Is making another bid for the Southern
league opening day attendance cup, and
President Heinemann thinks he has a
better chance OF winning this on SAT-
urday than any other day except Sum
day, He also will have the advantage
OF knowing the size crowd he has to
beat, as Atlanta and Birmingham are
the two cities that invariably turn out
The largest opening day crowds.
On account Of the new eligibility rule
adopted by the Southern the fans have
less dope on the teams this year than
ever before, and 1t is hardly possible for
any one team to go to the post a warm
/, fayorite over the others.
heretofore this honor Of favoritism
has belonged to New Orleans year after
year because the Pelicans have been
kept nearer intact from one season to
another n the result has been that
New Orleans has turned out a larger
percentage Of winning clubs than any
other city in the league.
The new eligibility ~rule-which limits
every club to eight men who have
played In class A or higher for the first
30 days, and seven thereafter-wil
force Manager Dobbs to separate him
self from several players who were
rated minor league stars last year

CARNATIONS ever got together,
How Pro Cons Figure 1t.
To a smaller extent this will be true
OF every other club. Players who are
total strangers to Southern fans will
take the places of old favorites. Pep
perry Youngsters who may be short on
experience, but long on enthusiasm,
take the places Of vets who are slow
ing up a bit.
What the result will be is a matter
Of wide conjecture. Those responsible
Tor the condition say 1t VIII make the
league more evenly balanced and pro-
.duce more interesting games. The
young players, they say, will have much
boys.
Those who oppose the rule say it is
bound to result in a grade Of baseball
below the Southern leagues high
standard. They look for games abound
ing in bonehead plays.
They'll Save the Cream.
OF course, the cream Of the old talent
will be retained everywhere. Managers
may adopt different courses as to or
ganizing around" their pitchers or
around" their infields, but they will
not part with the players who stand
out as stars. And some clubs that
have been weak In previous seasons will
be strengthened by acquiring good
players that the rule will force such
teams as New Orleans, Little Rock,
Memphis and Birmingham to dispose
