DECLARES JUDGE WILLIAM M. KAVANAUGH, THE PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE
Judge Spent Yesterday in City and Intimated Apprehension
Lest Some Clubs Will Prove Unable to^Stand the New
Salary and Player Limits—Says Managers Have Been
Given Everything for Which They Asked, Al
though He Favored Reducing Limits From
_____ Those of Last Season—Discrepancies in
Schedule Will Remain
By HUGH W. ROBERTS
JUDGE William M. Kavanaugh, president of the South
ern league, and the man who made the Southern league
what it is today, does not j> rediet that the season wdiieh
is about to ensue “will be the most brilliant and suc
cessful in the history of the organization.” For the owners and
managers of clubs have taken the bit in their own teeth, and
gone to such an extent in wild and “progressive” legislation
that, in the opinion of the president, the outcome is speculative.
The judge reached Birmingham yesterday morning, regis
tered at the Hillman, and spent the day discussing baseball with
his friends, o£*whom he has scores in this city. In reference to
baseball he'had the following to say:
"I was in favor of decreasing the
number of men which each club may
carry, and decreasing the salary limit
as wall. We have decided that each
club may carry 18 men and pay tljem
$3iW. Only two clubs in the league,
In my opinion, can withstand this
strain In ordinary seasons. And what
is more, we have given the managers
until May 1 to ‘experiment’—that Is. to
keep a large number of players and
pay them
"If the league is not successful the
managers will be responsible. We
have given them everything they de
sire.”
The president did not hesitate to ex
press himself. lie has always been a
conservative In baseball, and Incident
ally has always been successful. Cast
fall the insurgents got In control of
the situation, and to that fact is at
tributable the "progressive" results
which now obtain.
At the schedule meeting which was
held in Chattanooga, President Kav
anaugh was not present, having been
engaged on official business in Wash
ington. At that meeting a schedule
was adopted and signed In which
Montgomery was required to play
two games more on the road than at
home. •
“There will be no change ordered,”
stated the president. “The schedule
should have provided for each club to
play the same number of games at
home as on the road. If. after the
adoption of the schedule, it was con
sidered wise by the several presidents
of clubs to make a change in the way
of transferring games, that could have
been done. It is too late now to undo
what was done, however, and the dis
crepancies will nbt be rectified."
Judge Kavanaugh was not pessi
mistic. He impressed one, however,
with the idea that he is seriously
considering matters, and not rushing
into type with “glorious” predictions
which may or may not be realized.
“Last season,” he said, “was not a
good baseball season. The Southern
league was affected. Many smaller
leagues suffered terribly. The majors
felt the stress of conditions.
“There is no way of predicting the
attendance of the current season.
There is'"Ho doubt, however, but that
each club will have to busy itself In
regard to attendance. For each club
has bitten off quite a chew. You news
paper boys who have stood faithfully
by tlie guns in the past must keep up j
your good work. The Southern league
has emerged from tlie ‘brush’ league j
class, and we must all get together, j
stay together and pull together.”

Brooklyn, April 9.—Philadelphia beat
Brooklyn In the special opening game
of the National league, which marked
the formal occupation of the Ebbets
field today. The cold, raw wind kept
the attendance down, but did not af
fect the players, who put up a re
markable battle. Both '.Seaton and
Jtucker pitched brilliant ball, the for
mer just shading the noted southpaw
In a 1 to 0 shutout.
Benny Meyer, the heavy hitting re
cruit from Toronto, lost the game for
Rucker in the first inning. With one
out Knabe doubled to right. Meyer
muffed Lobert's foul in the sun field,
but Stengel overcame this error by
making a sensational catch of a long
fly on the same batter. Then Meyer
muffed Magee’s fly, letting Knabe in
with the only rttn of the contest. Sten
gel added further to his reputation by
grabbing Dolan’s single and cutting off
Magee by a great throw to the plate.
Neither side was able to score there
after. Rucker was taken out in the
eighth, when with one out, Fisher and
Miller made scratch hits and Callahan
was sent In as a pinch hitter. The sub
stitute forced Miller and Stengel was
out on a corking stop by lloolan. This
was Brooklyn's best chance to score.
Ragon pitched the lasl inning and
showed good form. Score: R.H.K.

BIRMINGHAM CAROLS DEATH OF CARE
NASHVILLE,S “BEAN BALL” PHENOM COMES
WEARING GRIM SMILE OF DETERMINATION
Nashville, April 9.—(Special.)-The Vol
unteers are en route to Birmingham.
The team, accompanied by President W.
A. Hirsig. one of the popular figures
connected with Southern baseball, entered
sleepers this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Along with t1ie outfit, goes a number
of rabid fans.
The team is feeling very chesty. With
"Bean Ball" Fleharty in excellent shape,
and still believing that lie has the "goats"
of the Barons, the fans feel certain that
lie will win the opening game for Nash
\ille.
Manager Schwartz, as is known, had
counted on using Case. But when he
remembered that the "bean ball" artist
had successively terrified thj Barons last
season, especially after lie had knocked
half of Ella m's head over Rick wood fence,
determined to send him to the mound.
Fleharty smiled*when told of the re
ports from Birmingham, that there wa*
regret that the "bean ball" expert was
scheduled to pitch. He smiled, and then
grinned broadly. He did not state tUal
be would abandon his most useful asset,
set.
Manager Schwartz is hopeful of defeat
ing the Barons, but did not venture a
prediction. There is general satisfaction
among the directors that Nashville was
accorded the opening game in Birming
ham. Birmingham dollars look good to
every club in the league.
Nashville. A^ril 9.—(Special.)—Nineteen

ing game of the 1913 season. President
Hirsig and Manager Schwartz expressed
themselves as thoroughly satisfied with
the team and all the men are in good
condition, not a sore arm being in the
bunch.
Schwartz declared he felt confident Fle
harty would be able to annex the open
ing game for the Vols, since he has been
cutting them loose in great shape dur
ing the past week. Bunting was the only
man left behind, he never having come
to terms with the club owners. A large
crowd of fans were at the union station
to give the team a send-off.
Williams will pitch the second game
for the Vols, it was announced by Man
ager Schwartz and George Beck will oc
cupy the slab in the final contest.
The opening line-up will be: Daley,
center field; Goalby, second base; Calla

Schwartz, first base: James, right field;
