When John p Martin, southern league president, tooA his seat i
the presidential chair he had hopes OF reconCing Messrs, Frank and
Heinsmann, who have been arch-enemies for many seasons. The firs
timing president Martin did was to place Frank and Heine on tho diyis
lion OF rules committee, figuring that they'd at least work together f1
the good OF the league. When Frank heard It he spluttered:

1910 PROVES A BAD TENNESSEE YEAR.
The season IT 1919, which Is now on the wane, has certainly provet
q disastrous one for the three Tennessee cities, Memphis, Nashville an(
chattanooga The Lookout city has Jared about the best the Chatta
noogans in fourth place. with Memphis in sixth.
Nashville Is a hopeless last and will never SET daylight mt r,or,
this year, owing to a series of accidents and bad breaks which punc
tured the capital outfit and sent II TO the bottom.
The attendance has been good In all three cities despite the NM
showing OF the clubs, which is considerable consoI ,tion, especially h
the moguls.
Looks like President Wilson will have TO use the league of nation,
on the American league, as Big Ban Johnson, Coils. Huston and Rupper
severed diplomatic relations and are about to declare war IN eaCt
tother.
Come to think Of II, there was not a boxer anywhere who called
himself Young Jess willard, not even when the Kansan was champion
There were any number of Young Corbets, FitHimmons, SulHvans
Dempseys, etc, but no fighter cared to handicap himself by picking VI
WIZARDS handle. Which Is another way Of showing how unpopula
Jess was even with his own fraternity.
