No Divided Base Ball Season.


"The order of the court is that the
return iG adjudged insufficient, and
the temporary restraining order Of
Justice Watts continue of force pend
ing the final determination of THIS uc-
tion." This is the conclusion OF
Judge R. w. Memminger,' filed in a
lengthy order following the hearing
on the South Atlantic association split
season controversy, and is regarded
by the Charleston club, petitioner,
which secured temporary injunc-
ton restraining President Walsh from
putting the split season decision Of
July 25, arrived at heIe, into effect, as
virtual knockout of the "four-club
scheme" Final determination of the
case will hardly be arrived at in time
to affect the present season, and the
finding of Judge Memminger will prob
ably settle the matter, from all prac
tical standpoint.
In his order, Judge Memminger
points out that this was not hear
ing for adjudication Of the case on
its merits, but as to whether the ex-
parte order of Justice Watts should
be continued or Dissolved. The court
declared itself satisfied that the ac-
ton against President Walsh IS sus-
tainable, that a straight season is a
fundamental factor Of the leagues
covenant, that the Charleston club
would suffer damage from split sea-
son, and that a proxy at a meeting OF
directors or of the association should
be through the presence of person.

Grew at Camp jackson.

South Carolina climate must have
proved extremely beneficial to the
boys at the citizens military train
ing camp recently closed at Camp
Jackson, as the average growth" of
the young men was onethird of an
inch, while some are known to have
grown" at least an inch. The boys
also expanded and enlarged in chest
capacity and were benefited in many
other ways, according to the surgeons
statistics.
The increase in height was due to
the taking out of the kinks in the
boys backs; put there, probably, from
following the plow or plying the well
known hoe.
The figures made by the G. M. T.
c. surgeon furnish interesting COM
parsons and show the physical de-
velopment of the men who spent the
month at Camp Jackson.
