DECISIVE VICTORY"
 SCORED BY SOUTHERN
 LEAGUE CLUB OWNERS
Bob Allen Agrees Not to AL low Smith or SeatOn to Appear in Uniform Until Settlement.

Memphis, Tenn, June 21.- (Special.) What is regarded by them as a sweeping victory for the seven clubs of the Southern League opposed to the use by the Little Rock club of Pitchers Casey Smith and Seaton was scored at the meet ing of the league directors here today.
 It also was viewed as equally a de- cisive victory for John D. Martin, pres ident of the Southern League, who, forced by a court order, approved the contract of Smith with the Little Rock club. Bob Allen, president of the Lit tie Rock club, conceded practically every demand made upon him by the other directors. He agreed not only not to use either Pitcher Smith rr Seaton, but also not to have them in uniform during the game, pending the decision of the circuit court of appeals of Cincinnati, to which President Mar tin has appealed from the decision of Judge John E. Mccall of the federal court of West Tennessee. who granted the mandatory injunction of the Little Rock club compelling him to approve the contract of Smith.
 The contract of Seaton has been ap- proved by President Martin, but under the same conditions as are with Smiths. and Seaton is in the same status as Smith regarding his playing with the Little Rock club.
 The result of the directors meeting is viewed as equally as a decisive vic- tory for President Martin of the league. The seven directors, in opposition to the Little Rock club in this matter, placed themselves on record as sus taining President Martin in every ac- tion he has taken, including his inter- pretation of the constitution of the Southern League, in his opinion that it gave him the right to approve or dis approve players contract and in Martins appeal of the case to the cir cult court of appeals. A strong and emphatic resolution was adopted to this effect.
 VICTORY NOT TEMPORARY
 The majority of the league directors do not regard their victory as a tenn porary one, but a decisive and final one. The directors made absolutely no concession to the Little Rock club and did not bind themselves subject to any decision by the Cincinnati court. Plainly the way the matter now stands is that if the decision of the court of appeals is not agreeable to the. league

WITH THE SCRIBES
 OF OTHER CITIES
ROGERS HORNSBY MAY MAKE BIG DEMAND NEXT SEASON
 By JIM NASIUM
Sporting Editor Philadelphi. Inouirci


 They are at it again, trying to oh- tain lot of publicity by growing careless with figures and mixing the dollar sign into our national pastime. This time Mir. Freedom. who hap pens 10 be president of the St. Louis National League club. rushes frenzied- ly 10 the newspaper offices with the statement that he has just turned down an offer of $2OO.000 from the New York Giants for Rogers Hornsby.
 rms may or may not be true, nobody can tell and nobody cares, But Mir. breedon. like many a baseball mag nate before him. will probably live 10 repent his reckless use of ciphers when they are hitched onto a figure that follows dollar sign. Our prediction IS that the time of repentance will be when he submits his next contract to Rogers Hornsby and Rogers shoots 1t back with the suggestion that since MT. Breedon is such an adept at han ding figures he had better scatter a handful or two more along the dotted line in the contract
 Now. put yourself in the place of MT Hornsby Babe Ruth brought only Sl35,OO0 in the market. and Babe is drawing som ething like s20.00O a year salary. Or so it is said. Now. if on your own employers word he had turned down an offer of s200 900 for Your services. wouldn't you naturally think that he considered you more valuable than Ruth? And wouldn'. you just naturally demand that he pay you more money than Ruth is getting? :? You bet your life you would.
 That's the way the ball player req sons it out. and you cant blame him much. In every case where the mag nate has fcclishlv rushed into print with string of figures to show whal great sport he is by refusing fabu- lous offers for certain stars, that mag nate has always been the victim of his own folly. He not only ruins the value of that ball player to his own ciub. but he increases his self-esteem to point where his salary demands become burdensome. And nobody is to blame for it but the publicity-see king club owner, who is the principal suf. ferer.
 It was just such actions as this in club owners rushing into print with fabulous offers that has ruined play CTS like Charley Herzog. Lee Magee and other former stars and made of them not only costly, but wholly use- less. adJuncts for any ball club.
 Besides. the great. throbbing public at-large doesn't care brass mounted continental about those kind of fig ures. The only figures that interest the baseball fan are the ones that are grouped at the bottom of the run column in the bally box score.

 ALLEN DECISION
 After considerable arguing pro and con- and mostly "con," John D. Logan. chairman, came out plainly and asked President Allen what he was going to do about playing Smith and Saaton. Then Allen agreed not to have either player in uniform during game pend z ing the appeal to the Cincinnati court

The circuit court of appeals. l believe, will uphold the decision and l hope eventually to play both men,"
 Aliens statement that he hopes eventually to play both men is not con sidered as having much weight.

 Watson of Memphis. West of Bir- mingham and Frank of Atlanta strung along together on everything that came up during the meeting.
 Aliens motion that the Southern League prove Smith or Seaton guilty was followed later in the day by Charlie Frank offering on behalf of the Atlanta club to subscribe s250 to fund if Allen wanted to make an in- vestigation.

had something to do with rumors Of
an Easter uprising. There was un-
usual military activity in the suburbs
of Dublin today. Parties of soldiers
with armed cars took up positions
shortly after midnight just outside

approaching the capitol were search
ed. Hay cars received particular at
tention and the tramway passengers

DOVER BEATS
NEWPORT BY
SCORE OF 6S TO 36
Fast n. H. Team Too Fast
for Company L. High
School Wins

Company L closed its basketball
season at School Hall Friday evening
with double defeat, the fast team
from Dover N. H., trimming the first
team to finish in the first part of a
twin bill while the Newport High
School ave" gave the second string
men a severe dl'ubbing in final ses-
sion of the doubleheader. The scores
were 68 to &c and 80 to 18 A record
sized crowd witnessed both contests
and enjoyed two of the best games
that have been played here this year.
Although both games were played
in a very clean manner two Injuries
resulted from the rough play. Dur
ing the last period Of the main affair,
Henry Mossa fell heavily on his pre-
viously injured right knee and receiv-
cd another painful wound The in
jured member was handaged tightly
and a call was sent for Dr.. w. O.
Brown, the company physician, who
after close examination pronounced
the injury a slight sprain. In the sec
ond game, Perley Folsom, playing
left forward for the guardsman, suf-
fered a broken nose when he collided
with Lanes elbow. He was also at
tended by Dr. Brown who set the
bone in quick order On many oc-
casons players fell or were thrown
to the floor with great force but
without serious results.
John Broulett refereed the big
game and his decisions were firm and
satisfactory both to the players and
the spectators. There was a slight
variation in the rules agreed upon
by both sides. This was that when
ever the ball was lost in the crowd
or became stationary or that each
time foul was called on either team,
the ball should be tossed up in center
The visiting aggregation was fast
and clever and their team work was
perfect 1t is unquestionably the
finest outfit that Newport has seen
during the entire season. Then
playing far excelled that of Com
pany LIS men. Without exaggeration
the Dover boys played rings around
the home team in every department
of the game, their clever passing and
stonewal defense completely over
whelming Company LIS players. 1t is
mystery to everyone in Newport
how Dover came to be defeated by
the st. Johnsbury American Legion
five" Thursday night.
Although Company l. does not put
forth any alibi for their defeat it
is a fact that no team could be eX-
pected to much better without prac-
tice. The Dover team is trained aa'-
gregation and its men were in the
finest trim when they trotted out on
to the floor at the beginning of the
play, while the local men who played
last night had not worked out TO-
gether in more than a month. Wit!
the proper practice the company
boys would be stiff opposition for
the fast Dover five,
Sam Davis, playing for the second
time this season, put up fine eXhi-
bition. He was absolutely the lone
star of the evening for Newport and
had he been properly supported many
Of the fine passes he made would
have been turned into baskets. Had
the entire team played as we'll as Da-
Wis different story might have been

Ca. OUTAGE N CRY
OF CAR SHORTAGE :
Illinois Farmers Make Survey in
State and Say Fault is in
Operation.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Chicago, Aug. 19.-The first survey of
freight cars ever taken by The farmers of
a State has just been completed through
the Illinois Agricultural Association, Sec
retary ID. o. Thompson announced today.
Cn the basis of this census he said lllinosis
farmers did not believe there was n car
shortage. The trouble with transporta-
ton he characterized as ''immobilty
and he declared the farmers meant to find
out whose fault it was
Secretary Thompson said the asso-
cation undertook a census after receiving
reports from farmers over the State that
they saw many cars standing idle on
country tracks.
Members of the association made
daily records of the car initials and num-
bcrs of all cars at. 494 stations located in
AS different counties for seven consecu-
tive days," the State Farm Bureau execu-
tive said. ''Of these 494 stations. l46 or
29.5 per cent reported some of the me
cars on tracks the last day of the count
as were on the tracks the first day of the
count.
"At all stations 9.294 cars were listed
the first day and of these cars $50 out of
9.294 cars had not been moved from. the
country point for seven consecutive days.
This is just little over 10per cent of the
cars at such points.
''No count was made in Chicago. In
several other large yards the association
enumerators were elected from the yards
by railroad officials.
"Nline operators say they were forced
to idleness many days each week leading
to the strike of the miners which recently
tied up the mines Just when the farmers
were needing coal for threshing. At this
same time before the strike in Christian
county. at Clarksdale and at Willeys, two
trains Of coal cars totaling 53 cars we're
reported empty at both first and last
DAYS of the count.
sIf we may take the total number OF
freight cars of the country on December
81. 1918, as a basis for computation and
consider that the percentage of I'M
mobility of cars is as great IN Chicago,
Toledo and New York as in country points
like Clarksdale, Fidelity and Low Point,
il is very moderate when we say that the
total number of new cars which the rail-
roads say they need to meet the trans
portation requirements of the present
moment. is not patch to the total of
immobile cars now idling by the weeks
and months in terminal yards and on side
tracks at country points.
This survey shows pretty clearly TO
the farmers of Illinois the excuse of car
shortage is largely camoufage, given to
cover up some real, deeper reason for the
present transportation inefhciency. And
TO search for that reason viii be the next
job of the farmers business organization.
