WHY THE SOUTHERN WILL NOT MEET THE TEXAS.
Dear Sir: | noticed in your column the other day that the post-sea-
son series between the pennant winners of the Southern and Texas
leagues would not be played. was under the impression that thu
series would come off. Please state why the series will rot be staged
FAN.
The chief reason for calling off the proposed series is that the
Texas league split its season, which made their schedule extend until
Sept. 81. The Southern will close its race on Sept. 7 and it would be
an impossibiHty for the Southern pennant winners to be held intact until
after Sept. 81. when the Texas race will finish. And then the Texas
has already arranged a series between the winners of the two pennants
lin the Longhorn league which will have to be played off The team
that won the pennant in the first half of the season will go up against
1.-THE pennant winner in the second half, and the winner of the series
will be the champions. * tNE + E&'
