REAL FIGHT FOR TOP
In SOUTHERN LEAGUE
BY JOHN II. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The South
ern Association provided most of the
thrills of minor league base ball the
past week.
Atlanta was challenged as leader by
Nashville and a battle royal for posi-
ton was kept up all week. AT the
end Nashville was on top, but found
herself sharing first-place honors with
Birmingham, which had suddenly
found itself and climbed from sixth
place to a tie for first.
The week ended with the tail-end
team in the Southern Association only
four games removed from the lead
erS.
New Orleans had managed to pound
its way past Atlanta, leaving the erst-
while leader in fourth place by Il
couple OF points.
Minneapolis clung to it's lead in the
American Association. Milwaukee
continues to show the Improvement
that was expected of it. Kansas City
is at a standstill again, after show
ing signs of Improvement. Louisville
got back into first division with a
fourgame gain.
Baltimore, the leader, won six
games in the international League
during the week and lost only one.
San Antonio and Wichita Falls gave
mouthful of competition for a time,
and now Houston is crawling up
where it may be a contender. San
Antonio hangs on, and Dallas may
get back again. Beaumont has been
forced into eighth place.
The Western League race continues
TO be one of the prettiest in base bail.
For two days there were only two
games between the leaders and the
tail-enders. Just now st. Joseph is
leading, but Denver, Des Moines and
Lincoln have had a taste of leader
ship and are clamoring for more.
Tulsa, which has won 10 games and
lost Il, is the tail-ender.
Hartford has pulled away from the
other Eastern League clubs. Pitts
field has climbed into the first division
after being the leagues gloom center.
San Francisco is streaking away on
the coast, but Seattle has got up in
the race and may yet offer a fight.
In the New York Pennsylvania
fight. Binghamton put in a good week,
although harder crowded than at the
start, Williamsport is crowding the

EIGHT-PLAYER LIMIT
ON OPTIONS NOT NEW

NEW YORK, May Is CP.Lightning
of major league optional players to
eight is only enforcement of existing
rules, President John Conway Toole of
the International League assert
cd in discussing reports from st. Paul
that Commissioner Landis had ordered
clubs in the American and National
leagues to confine themselves to that
number.
"Since 1921 the major-minor league
rules have limited the number of op-
tional players which any major league
club could legally send out to eight,
Mr.. Toole said "The rule never was
changed. 1t has been violated every
year since 1920, by some major league
clubs. The violations were not check
ed by those in authority in base ball.
I'm 1923 and 1924 the major league
clubs openly claimed that Commits
sioner Lands had instructed them to
send out up to 10 optional players if
they so desired. Whether the com
missioner did this or not cannot be
verified.
while some clubs of the ma jors
sent out more than eight optional
players in 1921 and 1922, it was not
until 1928 that it was claimed that it
was done by Judge Landis' permits
sion. This permission, if ever given
now seems to have been withdrawn
by the commissioner"
