Landis. baseball commls- sioner. tonight warned major league base ball players that they were facing a hard proposition in regaiifing the confl- dence of the public this season, and that while a spirit of fairness would make the fans forgive errors, the American public would never forgive the man who didn't take a chance.
 Speaking at a banquet to the two Chi- cago major league teams, Judge Landis urged the players to try their hardest at all times and not to be afraid of talk ing chances.
 Never before in any activity in the United States has anything been scru- tinzed as will your activity be scrutinized this season." said Judge Lands. We know why that is without going over a painful subject. With that thought ln mind I want 10 give you a thought in my mind.
 If a man gets off first; if he muffs a ball, there will be winks of eyes in the stands and an I told you so whispered around.

Memphis, Tenn, April 12.--JOhn D. Martin, president of the south ern association, in n greeting to- night to baseball followers in the south, predicted n fast race for the 1921 pennnnt, and pledged "fnir field and no 4avorites.-

 Mir. Martin called attention to the recent enactment by the Ten nessee legislature of n hill to pun ish persons guilty of attempting to cause a baseball game to be thrown, and announced that ef- forts will he made to have simi- lar law passed in other Southern association states.

play will soon snuff out that attitude
 The American public always deals with it's affairs on the merits of the case. We must play the game as hard as ever. No hanging back when we see a hard chance for fear of that mutter in the stands. Don't be afraid. If you strike out. that's been done before; if a pitcher blows up, that also has been done before The crowd will have sense enough to un- derstand in the long run The only thing 1t will not forgive Is being afraid to take chance. Take chances and fight always
 They say have an eye on every base ball field 1t is needless for me to deny that The rehabilitation of baseball lies with you players and not with me.
 '"The only thing can do is to try to protect you from the influence that wrecked pugilism, racing and other sports-the gentleman who would debalch the crucifx to win bet.
 While l am doing this, however, want you men to set high standards in- side the team. Remember that when you shoot craps and gamble, you may be misjuGged; remember that the pubic is scrutnizing your conduct off the field as we'll as on It."

Self got his second two -bagger of the season, besides play ing a good game in the field. The en- tire Jefferson team played great ball behind Clay, and it IS hard to pick my individual stars
 Mig" Waller was the whole show for the Tigers, with the exception ot Hawkins who pitched a good game, The former made three of his teams six hits, scored the only run, stole three bases and played a brilliant game in the field. Johnston made a couple of bingles, one of which went for two- -bagger.s Hawkins twirled com sistent game, but suffered from lack of support, allowing only one earned run. The first sack appears to be very weak, but with this exception the team fields well.

The City league held it's regular pow wow at the Central "Y'' last night, and at this meeting they adopted rules ano regulations under which the league will operate this season, finally the most important thing, the division of the clubs. was decided upon. .
 The meeting was called at o'clock by President Harrison and the first ques- tion acted upon was the question of ad- hitting Gate City into the league Gate City had a team in this league last season, but they were late in signifying their intentions of coming in this year. so consequently another team nabbed on to their place. After much discussion, 1t was finally decided that they would be allowed to come into the league only in tho event that some complication would arise to keep one of the other teams out of the organization.
 As for rules for this season. the league has adopted the rules that are in force in the two major leagues for 1921 ana the spalding official cork center ball has been adopted as the pill which shall be served to all batters for this year.
 The last and biggest matter to come before the meeting was the question Of dividing the league into the three GUS tomary divisions, and after much hot ar had been released on the subject, the following division was finally adopted as the most feasible plan of operation this year:
