With John D. Martin as the new
president of the Southern league, the
Dixie major is expected to bloom as It
never has before, for the association has
long been in need of a man of President-elect
Martin's caliber and ability
to handle the affairs of the association
and keep the old ship In the right chan
nels. President Martin Is first and foremost
for the Southern league. He is heartily
In favor of any measure which will make
the Southern bigger, better and faster,
and now that he has been honored with
the presidency he will redouble his ef
fort toward making the Southern Asso
ciation of Baseball clubs one of the
strongest pillars of the great national
baseball structure.
President Martin Is highly appre
ciative of the honor conferred upon him
by his associates. He will serve to the
best of his ability to keep the Southern
up In the forefront at all times, to ad
minister the affairs of the organiza
tion fairly, squarely and for the good of
the league and the game.
The election of John Martin is the
best move the Southern has made In
many years.
EYESIGHT VlRST.
Kijrht umpires will be selected at the
spring meeting of the league. Already
applications are coming in for Jobs, but
all applicants will have' to show 20-20
eyes before they are assigned.

THE SALARY LIMIT.
Southern league club owners are go
ing to adhere strictly to the salary
limit during the 1919 season.
An iron-clad rule was adopted at the
meeting Monday In Birmingham which
will make it almost an Impossibility for
any club to get by wltn a violation of
the salary limit.
Get this:
The penalty for the first violation of
the salary limit by any ciub will be a

forfeiture of the offending club's fran
chise. If any ball piSyer drawing more than
his contract calls for wm so notify the

stand strictly within the law in regard
to the salary limit.
a
