Watkins returned yester day morning from Birmingham and early in the morning sent the following telegram to Allen:
 Memphis, June IS. "R. G. Allen, President Little Rock Baseball Club. Aragon hotel, Atlantar Ga.:
 My opinion strong and decidedly against Memphis playing Little Rock here Sunday with Smith or Seaton in lineup. I ask and urge that you agree to not have Smith or Seaton participate in game or come on field in uniform. This request is for the best interest of all parties concerned. Wire me immediately your decision in the matter.
 "THOS. R. WATKINS. Early in the afternoon Watkins had received no reply to his telegram, whereupon he sent the following tele- gram:
 Memphis, Tenn, June IS. "R. G. Allen, President Little Rock Baseball Club. Aragon hotel, Atlanta, Ga.:
 wired you several hours ago about game Sunday, asking for immediate reply. It is necessary that I hear from you by 4 o'clocR today. If l do not hear from you by then I will take it you intend to have these two play CTS in the lineup.
 "THOS. R. WATKINS" Following this telegram, Elberfeld called Watkins over long distance phone and a lengthy conversation en- sued in which Elberfeld, as manager of the Little Rock club, agreed to the requests of Watkins.
 Shortly after the conversation over the phone, Watkins received the fol- lowing telegram from Allen, verify ing the statement that neither Smith or Seaton would be in uniform here Sunday:
 Atlanta, Ga, June IS. CIT. R. Watkins. President Memphis Baseball Club, Memphis. Tenn:
 "At your request, Little Rock will not have Smith or Seaton in uniform, though I cannot agree with you or your people in opinion about what is right or justice. How different from what Frank has done. He demanded and threatened as if he ruled this club.
 "R. G. ALLEN" President Watkins of the Memphis club stated that he thought he was acting in all justness and fairness in deriving at this opinion.

A peaceful settlement of the row over Pitchers Casey Smith and Tom Seaton now seems to be in sight. Both warning parties, Kid Elberfeld and President Allen of Little Rock, and managers Of five other Southern League clubs, seem willing to concede a few points on each side. Elberfeld and Allen at first refused to compro- mise, while Charlie Frank. chief among the objectors, was equally as firm. Now, however, Elberfeld and Allen seem willing to keep Smith and Seaton on the bench until final settlement can be reached. The opposition seems not only willing but eager to meet the Travellers half way. Games between Little Rock and Atlanta and other Southern League clubs will most like ly be played now. with Smith and Seaton not appearing in uniform until their case is finally settled.
 For the good of the Southern League it is best that the two factions get together. and do so in as short time as possible. Not only is a real split threatened when moguls of two or more clubs are flying at each others

Little Rock Moguls Agree Not to Use Smith or Sea- ton Yet.
By Associated Press


 Atlanta, June 1S.-The Little Rock and Atlanta baseball teams, idle for two days because of a dispute over two players, will meet here tomorrow in double header, 1t was announced tonight. and will let the question re- garding the players be settled Monday at a meeting of the league directors : called in Memphis.
 The game scheduled between Little Rock and Memphis in the latter city Sunday. will be played, it was an- nounced by 'Kid" Elberfeld, manag ger of the Little Rock team. In all prob ability, he added, the Birming ham Little Rock series starting Monday in the Arkansas city, will not be delayed.
 Little Rock is carrying Pitchers Tom Seaton and Casey Smith, dropped from the San Francisco, Pacific Coast League, for the good of baseball" ac- cording to the manager of that club. On Little Rocks arrival here Presi- dent manager Frank of the Atlanta club, announced he would not play the Travellers while those men were on the team.
 Frank kept the gates of Ponce de Leon park locked on Thursday and Friday and announced he would not
  mond until the players in question were dropped. He said he was fight ing for clean baseball. ManagG El- berfeld and President Allen of the Little Rock club. announcing their convinction of the mems innocence, maintained their stand, but today. on a request from the Memphis club, E1berfeld stated he would keep seaton and Smith out of uniform there Sum- day pending settlement of the affair by the league directors. This was told to Frank, and through Cliff Wheatley, a newspaper man, the agreement was reached for tomorrow's games.
 Managers of both teams made it plain they were not yielding anything, and Elberfeld added his agreement to play here tomorrow was in justice to At- 1anta baseball fans. He said he had some trouble persuading his men to take part in the game here following Franks objections to Smith and SeatOn,

throats, but such happenings are dis gusting to the fans. It is these last named who really support the South ern League and to be at odds with them is to court disaster.
 Birmingham has games scheduled with Little Rock next week. Then the row will be brought home to our own doorsteps. However, if Little Rock moguls live up to their proposi- ton and really keep Smith and Seaton out of uniform until final settle- ment is reached, Birmingham and Lit tie Rock will play the scheduled games. Otherwise they will be called off.
 Most everyone is getting tired
 of this row, anyway. What the
 fans want is baseball. not politics
 or party warfare. It's all very
 we'll to read an account of
 startling happenings over in At-
 lanta, Nashville or somewhere else,
 but when our own games are
 called off it's entirely . different
 matter. Scrapping over an odd
 player or two won't win the pen
 nant, which is more than likely
 the ambition of every manager in
 the Southern League. It's time to
 get down to business.
 One has mentioned that yesterday $ defeat might be the swan song of Frank Herbst. It's true that the young twir1er has lost seven straight games. but somehow we're not quite satisfied that the former Pirate hurler is entirely bad There are several points in his favor, which although they can't offset the Tact that he has lost seven games. force many to ad- init that there is lot of promise about Herbst. One thing is his speed. Herbst has an abundance vr steam on the ball and, most of the time, he can control his shoots admirably. Herbst has turned in some mighty good i'm nings since his arrival with the Barons and it is these. probably. which has caused Molesworth to give the Pitts burg lad such a thorough trial.
 Bert Griffith left no chance un- accepted in center field yesterday. Griff caught ten hot ones out in his territory, covering himself with glory. saving runs for Herbst and winning admiration from the flock of fans at Redwood yester- day.
 Stevenson and Ellis led the Baron hitters yesterday. Stevie got two hits and Ellis made three.
 Coffindaffer will pitch today's game against the Chicks. Glazner is out of the game with injuries when he was struck by pitched ball in game against Little Rock the first of the week. It will be several days before Whitey will be able to pitch.
 Reports have 1t that Elberfe1d
 is trying to induce players of other clubs to join in with his crew in sympathetic strike if Smith nnd
 SeatOn are not allowed to play in this league. New Orleans players s claim that they have received such
 teleErnms. At n late date last night nothing had been received by Bir-
 mingham and Memphis players. The following lucky numbers will admit their holders to the game this afternoon upon presentation of the score cards: S799 6S46. 6S71. 6950.

New Orleans, June 1S.-Plnyers of the New Orleans team of the southern Association are reported tO have received late today tele- grams from Atlanta asking them to iofn in a sympathetic strike If Casey smith, the Little Rock pitcher, is not allowed to play with that team.
 President Heinemann of the New Orleans club stated that he had been informed of the telegrams received by members of the New Orleans team and he said he felt sure that on account "Of its personnel the Little Rock club would receive lit- tie sympathy from the players on other teams in the league"
 MT. Heinemann nlsO said that he would attend the special meeting of the league fin Memphis next Monday and he fully expected that the matter would he thoroughly threshed out at that time. He further stated that he had not as vet been advised by his attorney as to what action the local club would take in the matter of playing with Little Rock, hut he said: 'l nm gO- ing to that meeting we'll heeled and from my experience fail to see where Allen can expect to gain anything by opposing the majority of the league directors.'

 pointment is not less keen because it foreshadows American successes in the British championships at Wimbledon next week. the usual situation is &C., cepted in a sporting spirit.
 The feature of today's play was the brilliant work of Tilden, who beat the Japanese expert, Zenzo Shimidzu, with oonsummate ease and finish, proving himself master in all points of the game The match was over in almost record time-twenty-two minutes. Johnston had no difficulty in disposing of Major Dud- ley, and it was the opinion that the American champion was loafing com paratiyely throughout the match.
 In the doubles Johnston and TiiGen were all round too fast for M. l. G. Ritchte and F. M. B. Fisher, the latter an eX-cahinet minister of New Zealand. The victory of R. Norris Williams and c. s. Garland over Shimidzu and Mishu was due to the forcing tactics os the Americans.
