BIRMINGHAM WLL BE IN IT And It Will Take a Hummer to Beat Her. BALL ASSURED NEXT SEASON Al Buckenburger, Formerly of the Pittsburg National League Club, Will Manage the Birmingham Team. The meeting of the Southern Associa tion of Baseball Clubs adjourned about noon Sunday after having completed the business for which they met. Among the business transacted Sun day morning was the fixing of the guar antee fund, fixing salaries and the ap pointment of two or three committees. The guarantee fund was fixed at $1000, which amount each club must deposit on or before the 1st day of March. The salary limit was placed at $1000 per mon in. Henry Powell of New Orleans anrl George T. Stallings of Nashville were ap pointed a committee to fill vacancies In the circuit. They will do this at the earliest possible moment. The circuit as it now stands Is composed of only six cities—Evansville. Nashville, Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans. Evansville, on account of the great dis tance necessary to travel to get there from the other cities, will probably be dropped. That will leave three vacan cies. The three cities which are most favor ed by the present league are Birming ham, Chattanooga and Knoxville, and to these cities the three franchises will likely go. The president appointed a committee of two, consisting of Col. B. E. Holt of Montgomery and Dr. R. L. C. White of Nashville, to correspond with minor leagues with reference to the Inaugura tion of a movement for the better pro tection of minor leagues. The president was Instructed to corre spond with President Young of the Na tional league with reference to securing class A protection for clubs in the South ern association. The association now has class B protection. Col. B. L. Holt of Montgomery, Dr. It. E. C. White of Nashville and Henry Powers of New Orleans were appointed on a committee to draft a new constitu tion and by-laws. The election of officers for next year was deferred until January tie. when a meeting will be held in Chattanooga to complete arrangements for the next sea eon. . , Thanks of the association were extend ed the Morris hotel for courtesies.

And sffie will be repre sented with one of the strongest teams ever gotten together In the south, un der the management of A1 Buokenburger, whose reputation as a baseball manager is second to none In the business. For several years he managed the Pittsburg team In the National league and his team always stood well up among the When the magnates of the Southern association arrived here last Saturday they opened communication with Buck enburger with reference, to placing a team In Birmingham, and he consented to do so provided the guarantee could be assured. This, It Is almost certain, ^Messrs.0 Solon Jacobs and Joe Frank went before the meeting and submitted n proposition, which was very favorably received by the magnates, who are anx ious to have a Birmingham team In the association next season. Mr. \\ ayland Trask,president of the Columbian Equip ment company, is also Interested with Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Frank in the move ment, and his company will contribute liberally towards the club. Mr Buokenburger will be In Birming ham early in January to see wliat can be done in the way of getting tip the nec essary organization and guarantee foi ° The local fans have manifested a great! deal of Interest In the matter since it be came known Birmingham was sla ed for one of the vacancies, and it is not thought much trouble will be experienc ed in raising the requisite amount of money.

The recitations of the pupils of Miss Klrtley and the organ nnd piano recitals of the pupils of Mrs. King and Professor Vredenburg were up to the usual high standard of the Jud son’s exhibitions. At the conclusion of - the regular programme for the evening Miss Stakeley, by special request, sang a number of old fashioned melodies, which carried the house by storm and which made your correspondent her humble and mlmlrlng slave the balance of his days. Her voice is magnificent In Its scope, power and flexibility and is the perfection of natural strength and sweetness com bined with intelligent nnd artistic cul tivation.
