on the Baron roster in February 10, which
will contain salary reductions in accord
ance with the rule adopted at the annual
meeting of the directors of the Southern
league. If any of the players cannot see
their way to sign these contracts they
will be allowed to jump to the Federal
league or anywhere else that they see
tit, as the local management is determined
not to dicker with disgruntled and dissat
isfied players this season.
The abcve was the gist of a statement
by President Robert Baugh of the Bir
mingham Baseball association, yesterday
afternoon, in regards to the threats of
several of the local ball tossers to desert
organized baseball and cast their fortunes
with the outlaw Federals unless large in
creases in salary were granted. The terse
comment ■ of President Baugh on this
phras of the situation is illustrative of the
attitude of the Birmingham management
and quite possibly the .majority of the
fans. ’*
