I CELEBRATION IS j SCHEDULED JUST 1 AFTER FIRST GAME Southern League Is Prospering M’GRAW WANTS THE CARDINALS’ STAR FIRST BASEMAN Southern League Feels Wave of Great Prosperity President Kavanaugh Announces 25 Per Cent Increase of Pres ent Season Over Spring of 1912—Attendance Excels Mark of Five Preceding Seasons—Records May Fall. Splendid prosperity is attending the Southern league. Great boosts in attendance have been experienced during tlie earlier months of the season, and President YV. M. Kavanaugh an nounced yesterday that the attendance records show a 25 per cent increase over the preceding season. Excelling the marks set for the past five years, the season bids fair to break all pre cedents. “The Southern league cities are drawing better this season," declared President Kavanaufih, “than they have since tlie memorable year of 190S. Every cltv, ex cepting Montgomery, is attracting larger crowds to witness the sport and it I lie wave of prosperity continues, oil marks will be broken before tlie termination of the season. “While overlooking tlie attendance .ee • ords, I was somewhat awed and flattered when 1 learned the astounding good news that every city In the league, except Mont gomery, was drawing better crowds than last season by L5 per cent. Tlie race is an interesting one for, with the exception of the leading Mobile team and. the lowly Pelicans, the other clubs are bunched to gether and are lighting hard for supre macy.” “The matter of the protested games ha been disposed of. In the protest eases presented. [ have decided that they shall not be allowed and that the games shall be played off. The Nashville-Atlanta dis pute seems to nave arisen from a misnn dertsanding and the two teams will play off the disputed games.” The league executive was extremely sorry to miss the postponed hoisting of the pennant, hut h • had completed all ar rangements to return to T.ittle Rock last l ight and was forced to leave. GULLS TRIUMPH IN OVERTIME STRUGGLE Mobile, June 9.—Mobile took the llrst 'of -the series from Memphis this after noon in a spirited 12-inning battle, an er ror by Butler giving the locals the win ning run in the twelfth.

The captured bunting remained in the storehouse while the gentle rain pafte ed upon tlie roof yesterday, but this after noon the pennant v ill be hoisted aloft to its towering summit. Between the lirst and second struggles of the double bill, the trophy will be ushered to the pennant pole by the Barons and the Crackers and then raised to its lofty pinnacle. Encouraged by ?i favorable forecast of the weather, every*1 indication points to a tremendous attendance to view the glad some affair. The lair fans will assemble en masse as the tickets in the ladies’ book will be honored at the gates, while the at tractiveness of a double bill in conned ion with the festive occasion should gather many other thousands. The inclemency of the elements was a great disappointment to President 'V. M. Kavanaugh. who journeyed from Little | Rock to witness the flag raising and to present the trophy to the victorious Barons of 1912. Last night he was forced to return to Little Kook, while the delega tion of Atlanta directors and President Calloway' could not be prevailed upon to remain over for the postponed gala occa- ] sion. With Flill Foxer. on the firing line, the first game will begin this afternoon at 2:15. Twirier Jim Brady has been slated to ornate the slab for the Crackers, with Dunn receiving. During the intermission between the conflicts, the two teams will formally raise the bunting to the summit i of the flagpole and then resume the fray, i Depending upon his youngster, Thomp- j son, Manager Moleuworth expects to an nex the second battle over Smith's south- j paw. Price. A note of interest is that; Catcher Clifton will receive the twists of Thompson. Clifton has bad but one op portunity to show his wares and many of the fans will be glad to see him in action. The grounds were in good shape last night, and with large strips of canvas pro- i tecting the plate, hist base and the pitch er’s box, it will take a heavy precipitation to prevent the two clubs from getting into, action. Umpires Rudderham and Filield I will officiate. NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING Played. Won. Lost. Pet.
