Braving rain and mud. the Barons
downed the Billikens in an erratic battle
before the high moguls of the Southern
league. Lowering skies overhung when
the struggle was started and a slight
sprinkle began in the second inning. The
torrents fell continuously throughout the !
•even inning that were played. v.urley \
Brown was solved in the first session 1
Jfor two runs, but McLeod yielded four (
tallies to the Barons in the second and '
endowed the leaders with a 5-2 victory.
The Billtkens sulked at continuing play,
tout Umpire Kerin forced them to contest
•even innings. The rain slackened after
the first four innings had been played,
and the Billikens renewed their batting
onslaught on Brown.- Two scratch hits
and a pass enabled Montgomery to fill
the cushions in the fifth before an out
bad been registered. The southpaw whs
yanked from the slab and relieved by
Hardgrove, who downed the three suc
ceeding batsmen without allowing a run.
The crafty right-hander yielded but one
hit during the remaining innings of his
regime and secured the. victory.
Erratic play marked the first three in
nings. The Barons erred four times, while
five bobbles were recorded against the
Billikens. Both infields suffered from
fumbles, every member of both inner de
L fenses fumbling, except McDonald. After
y Birmingham bad clinched the encounter
with four runs in the second, Montgomery
stalled to prevent the completion of the
gsme, but their dilatory movements were
offset by fast work by Birmingham. Um
pire Kerin seemed determined to force
five innings.
Bills Assume Lead in First
Montgomery secured a commanding
lead in the first inning after two were
out. Elwert hit a slow grounder to
Marcan, who fumbled but recovered
and pegged poorly to Covington. The
firet sacker made an effort to bag the
throw but fumbled it. Daley slashed
a fast drive at Ellam, but the pellet
passed right through the shortstops
^clutches and Daley reached first. Grib
bens scored Elwert with a single just
Inside first base and advanced Daley
to third. The double steal was essayed,
but Ellam seemed to have thwarted the
maneuver when he drew in, received
Tragesser’s peg and whipped it back.
The peg carried low and Daley slid into
the plate In safety.
McLeod retired the Barons without a
run in the first, although McDonald
reached third base. In the second the
league leaders spurted and. aided by
the miscues of the Bllliken infeild,
cinched the battle. Covington outsped a
Blow grounder to Parker. Ellam trashed
one of McLeod's fast balls against the
fence in right center field for three
btses and enabled the Barons to sur
mount the Billlken handicap. Tragesser
lilt a high bounder to shortstop that
Parker was forced to leap into the air
k to capture. Expecting that Ellam would
I'? attempt to register on the bounder,
Parker, after fielding the rap, made a
feint to throw home, but seeing Ellam
Just off third, threw hastily to first.
Tragesser reached the base before the
belated peg came. Curley Brown failed
to live up to his .300 slugging mark,
for he grounded to Snedecor and did
not advance the runners.
EUara remained In check at third dur
ing Brown's stay at the plate, hut reg
istered when Marcan hit a alow grounder
to aborts top. Eddie McDonald sent the
Barons into the lead when he singled to
left field and dispatched Tragesser over
the plate. Daley fielded the single prompt
JiXly and forced McDonald to retrace his
' ptepe toward first with a fast peg to
•econd. But the throw sifted through
Parker and the third sacker renewed his
flight and reached second. The prevailing
siege of fumbles continued when Mc
Donald pilfered third, for Bill Elwert
dropped Grib ben s' throw and prolonged
the Baronial spurt. A third infield hit by
Carroll to shortstop scored McDonald.
Carroll closed the second inning by allow
ing himself to be caught off first base.
Viators Delay Contest
The slight sprinkle Inculcated the
thought among the Bllllkens that by slow
and listless movements they might be able
to prevent a completion of the contest.
I a However, Brown downed his erstwhile
Compatriots la the third and fourth, while
the Barons secured an additional tally off1
McLeod In the fourth, Ellam grounded
out, but Tragesser hit a slow grounder to
Parker, who fumbled, seemingly Inten
tionally, When Tragesser essayed steal

LEAGUE DIRECTORS IN SESSION

The league directors, presided over bg President W. WL^Kavanaugh, are here shown in executive session at
the Tutwiler. Around the table, from right to left, are President Kavanaugh, Secretary Adolph Jacobson, \V.

SOUTHERN ENJOYS WAVE OF PROSPERITY;
DIRECTORS DO NOT EXPECT FEDS IN SOUTH
Birmingham Tops Southern League in Attendance—Six Clubs Are Drawing Better Than in
1913—Federals Are Not Expected to Invade South—Kavanaugh Has Not Thought
of Resigning Presidency—No Action Against Federals Taken
Prosperity is the rule In the Southern.
President William Marmaduke Kava
naugh asserted yesterday that the league
was enjoying the best year in its his
tory, with the exception of the banner
season of 1908. Birmingham Is leading in
attendance, while Memphis and Atlanta
are fighting neck and neck fer second
place. New Orleans and Nashville are
engaging in a close race for next in the
running. Chattanooga has drawn more
people to witness its games than in 1913.
Montgomery and Mobile, alone, are below’
last year's marks.
“The league is prospering." President
Kavanaugh stated. "Six cities are ex
celling attendance records of 1913, Mobile
and Montgomery alone are not surpassing
last year’s marks. Birmingham is draw
ing splendidly and Is In the lead of the
circuit." When* asked if it was not true
that the Southern had drawn a greater
aggregate attendance than the American
association, the head of the league stated
that it was merely hearsay, as there Is
no way as ascertaining the facts in ques
tion.
In regard to his umpiring corps. Fresi
dent Kavanaug stated that he had re
ceived no greater number of complaints
from their work than were usually re
ceived in a season. When asked if he
anticipated any changes in the personnel
of his staff, he replied that even if such
action was planned, he would not state it
for publication.
The prevailing impression that the um
pires are plastering numerous fines on
players, who argue to extreme, is wrong.
Secretary Jacobson declares that only $100
has been inflicted In fines oy the um
pires during the season. However, the
coffers remained almost empty in 1913,
when only $45 was assessed by the um
pires.
* • •
The Federals are not giving the South
ern a vast amount of dread. "We do
not think that they will make raids upon
the Southern, even ns extensively as they
did this year," he stated. "At least, we
do not feel at all uneasy, for they will
have to secure but few players for the
next year’s clubs, whereas each team
procured a whole roster last year. There
is no occasion for fear.
"In the meeting this morning the Fed
eral league was not mentioned, unless in
a jocular manner. We^made no effort to ,
adopt emergency measures."
• * *
The statement of "Fielder" Jones thut
the Federal intended planting several
minor league is not taken seriously by
the directors. Secretary Jacobson is
sponsor for the statement that President
Kavanaugh does not oxpect any encroach
ment or competition from the outlaws in
the Southern league territory.
"Planting a league in the south would
lost almost as much as establishing an
other Federal league." Secretary Jacobsen
asserted, "and a minor In the south will
come only after the territory in the east
and central west has been invaded. Pres
ident Knvanuugh lias heard nothing of
an attempt to invade the south, and he
probably would have, had such action
been anticipated."
* • •
The astute head of the Southern has no
idea of resigning. According to his pro
late secretary, he has never felt the
thrusts of the club presidents ns given in
tile papers. At the time criticism was
at its height. President Kavanaugh was
ill and did not hear of it until some
days later. "Judge did not resent the
criticism." Jacobson said, "and he has no
idea of abdicating." R. A. L,.

Directors Hold Meet Behind
Closed Doors But Noth
ing Sensational Sprung
NO ACTION TAKEN
TO FIGHT OUTLAWS
Fall Session Will Be Called Before
Omaha Meeting;—Too Protests
Presented—Visitors See the
(lame in Afternoon
H.v HKIHKW A. I.KAAIS
Behind dosed doors the Southern league
directors met In nn executive session,
hut failed to spring h sensation. Presi
dent W. M Kavutiaugh presided over the
meeting at which every club had a rep
resentative except Mobile and t’hatta
nooga. Twn protests were decided with
out changing the standing of the respec
tive clubs, while other routine matters
were disposed of.
No action was taken to protect the
Southern from raids of the Federate for
next season. President Kavanaugh stated
that the moguls had not even considered
taking any measures to fortify the South
ern from the outlaws and asserted'that
he did not expect any trouble in 191*.
Two protests were presented for de
cisions. Montgomery submitted a protest
against New Orleans on a decision of
Umpire Breitensteln. which allowed a
home run to he registered because the
ball disappeared from sight. The game
protested was played on August 15 th
New Orleans. Montgomery withdrew the
protest.
The Mobile club’s protest against Mont
gomery was lost by default as Mobile
did not have a representative at the i-on*
clave. The contention of the Montgom-.
ery club that President Helneman had
not made a full statement of u game In
the recent transferred scries with New
Orleans was not given lavor by the di
rectors, who upheld the Pelican president.
Mutual agreement allowed Montgom
ery to transfer two series to Memphis and
Nashville. The Memphis club will play «
the Billlkens In Memphis August 31, Sep
tember L*-3, while Nashville will meet the
tall coders on August 3»; and 37.
A full session of the Southern league
wyi be called before the annual meet
ing of the minor league clubs In Omaha
In November. At this session the salary
limit will be discussed and decided upon,
while other legislation will be talked over.
While President Kavanaugh would not
assure that Montgomery would be in th©
Houthern league In 1915, ho said that
the matter of a change in circuit was not
anticipated. "Tlu\\ ‘have fulfilled every
paragraph of their contract,” said the
honorable and corpulent William Mann
duke, "and there la no cause to belie;.
that the franchise will be taken over u *.
the fall meeting.”
The meeting adjourned shortly before „
o’clock, and repaired to Rick wood para,
where they witnessed a naval encounter
between the Billlkens and the Barons.
The following dub representatives attend
ed the meeting; F. K. Calloway, Atlanta;
Clyde Shropshire. Nashville; Secretary
Watkins, Memphis; M. P. Wilcox, Mont
gomery; A. .J. Ilelm-man, New Orleans;
A. II. Woodward, Birmingham. Secre
