A week from next Wednesday the annual fall meeting of the Southern Association of Baseball Clubs will be held here, and the indications are that it will be one of the busiest and most important sessions the league has had in many seasons. There are so many questions of paramount concern to the club owners, of the Southern league that the indications are that not only one day, but two days will be required before the busi ness before the association can From the eight corner of the league there has come reports that several magnates have propositions in their system for adoption or re jection. Here's a partial list of the matters which are due to come up for consideration at the approaching meeting: . . . ' , The Heinemann plan for pooling the receipts . of the- league and di viding them Into equal parts at the end of the season. The raising of the waiver price from 1400 to $750.' The baseball gambling situation and action to be taken on keeping th league free from taint. f The election of officers for the en suing year. The proposition of playing an in terleague series with the Texas league, now a class A organization. The status of athletes who jumped Southern league clubs to play with outlaw outfits. Discussion of how the Southern feels about entering into an alli ance with the major leagues as for merly existed before the. break some time ago. The spitball, and the proposition of giving all present spitball pitchers of , the league a chance to use the wet delivery until they wear out, at the same time preventing any new comers from using it. Raising the salary limit from $3,500 to J5.000. There will be other matters of equal importance to come .up before the assembled club owners for cus slon and discussion, and the outlook is for quite a torrid meeting. ' ' HEINE'S PLAN. The plan of Jules Heinemann, of New Orleans, to pool the receipts of the i eight clubs of the league and then divide the spoils will be offered by the New Orleans president, but after putting our listener to the ground there comes the feeling that Heine's plan is going to die a mis erable death, for the very excellent reason that it Is not feasible, ac cording to several of Heinemann's fellow-magnates, who predict that it will be defeated when it comes up before the meeting. That the waiver price will be raised to some extent ' even if rtot to the proposed $750 is as- sured, for it is a fact that $400 is -entirely too low a figure for a class A player. Bob Allen, of Little Rock, is expected to offer a motion looking toward the raising of the waiver price. The baseball gambling situation will come up briefly when a law that was framed at the National Associa tion of Professional Baseball Leagues in Kansas City last month will be offered the clubowners, who will be requested to make an' effort to get thi i legislatures of their respective states to adopt it for the good of baseball and in order to keep it clean. The law as drawn carries a fine and imprisonment for any play er or gamblers guilty of betting on ball games. OF Will Be Made in New Orleans So as to Keep Racing Within the Law. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 4. Modifi cation of the betting system used at the Jefferson parish track and an nounced by attorneys for the Busi ness Men's Racing association that the scheduled meeting at the fair grounds track would be conducted so that betting mctuods would be "with in the law" featured the day's devel opments in the racing situation here. Apprehension that the winter rac ing here would be either interrupted jor discontinued was expressed by (many racing authorities Thursday, when the district attorney-elect, of New Orleans parish, announced he considered the system at Jefferson in violation of state laws regulating wagering. The "change-makers" men, who handle bets for the professional "layers," keep track of amounts bet and make change for the betters, were missing at Jefferson. Four hundred thoroughbreds from Maryland arrive'! here late Thursday and were quartered at the fair grounds, to be raced during the meeting which officials of the Busi ness Men's association stated would be started January 1. WRESTLING MATCH ENDS IN BIG RIOT ..- - CHICAGO, Dec. 4 Patrons of a wrestling match between William Demetral, the "Greek demon," and Jack Linow, billed as the "Russian Lion," staged a "hay market riot" which drew scores of police to the Hay Market theater, when Referee John Myers gave a draw decision at midnight last night, stopping the match. Scenery, box curtains, foot lights and other decorations were torn down and smashed by the audience, which clamored against the halting of a "finish" match by a draw de cision. Members of a burlesque chorus who had remained to watch the wrestling, barricaded themselves in their dressing rooms as the crowd surged onto the Btage, kicking holes through the scenery. The few po licemen present at the bout were powerless until reserves arrived and swept the rioters out into the streets. STUBBS TO CAPTAIN PLAINSMEN IN 71 AUBURN, Ala., Dec. 4. Francis Stubbs, a Georgian, quarterback on the 1920 football team of Alabama Polytechnic institute, was last night elected captain of We 1921 eleven af ter a spirited contest with Gene Ca ton, center, runner-up and who will alternate the position with Stubbs next year. Announcement of the election came during the annual ban quet to the team at which time the coveted "A" was awarded 19 members of the team. Read News Scimitar Wants. IIF iCATION BETTING SYSTEM De properly transacted. The 1 election of officers will re quire but a short time, for It is a foregone conclusion that President John D. Martin will be re-elected. His administration has been signally successful and the league has en Joyed its most prosperous years un der his guiding hand. His unanimous election is forecast, for satisfaction has been expressed, on all (ides as to the way he has handled the af fairs of the league. INTERLEAGUE SERIES. Bob Allen, president of the Uttla Rock club, Southern league cham pions, will offer a plan which, if adopted, will bring together the pennant-winners of-, the Southern and Texas leagues after each season, giv ing Dixie a world's series between the class A leagues a miniature world's series. The Little Rock club played the Fort Worth club, of the Texas league, at the end of the 1920 campaign against the wishes of the league president and magnates. Lit tle Rock lost the series and it was this victory for the Texans that proved the opening wedge of their fight to gain class A classification. Now that the Texas league is a class A organization, as it has really been all along, Allen believes that such a sesies would be of material benefit to both leagues and will offer the plan of an interieague series. That it will be adopted 'is the belief in local baseball circles. That the Southern will vote to stay ciear of any entagling alliances with the malor leagues ' is certain, for they have been prosperous after cutting adrift from the big leagues, and believe they will continue to prosper without any working agreement with the big fish of the baseball puddle. That the league will vote to stand pat on the agreement to bar all Jumping players for five years is believed certain. SPITTER MAY RETURN. The spitball. which was outlawed In the Southern some time ago, may come back to the extent of permit ting spitball pitchers at present on the rosters of the clubs in the gun land major to finish out their ca reers, at the same time keeping the bars up for any newcomers who use the damp delivery. Red Torkelson, of the New Orleans pitching staff has been agitating the proposition, and it is believed that President Heinemann of the New Orleans club will . offer a motion looking toward the partial raising, of the ban on the delivery In the Southern. That the salary limit, which Is at present $3,500, will be raised to $5,000, is already assured. This was agreed upon at the annual meeting of the national association when all class A leagues decided to elevate the salary limit 50 per cent. It will be adopted at the fall meeting here and go into effect for the 1921 campaign, giving the club owners time to line up more costly talent than heretofore. Veteran Tackle Is Named Captain Of Central High E if 8 JIM JEFFRIES.

BUCK HERZOG AND HENDRIX MAY GO Waivers Believed 1 to Have Been Asked on Players .Mentioned in Scandal. (By International News Service.) CHICAGO, Dec. 4. Officials of the Cubs refused to discuss reports to day that waivers had been asked on Pitcher Claude Hendrlx and Second Baseman "Buck" Herzog. Both play ers had been mentioned in connec tion with the recent gambling scan dal. Hendrlx had been slated to pitch the game with Philadelphia on Aug. 81, on which It was alleged gamblers had been advised to bet on Philadel ohia to win. He was supplanted by Grover Alexander when Cubs officials heard rumors that the game was fixed and has not appeared on the mound for the Cubs since. Investi gation, however, failed to reveal any evidence implicating Hendrix in dis honest playing, Herzog was accused by "Rube" Benton, pitcher of the New York Giants, of having offered a bribe of 1800 to "throw" a game. He was exonerated by President Heydler of the National league. , BETWEEN ROUNDS WITH BILLY HAACK. One day my telephone rang and a promoter at Somervi'.le, Tenn., want ed to know if I had a heavyweight boxer on hand. I told him I did not and that the largest I had was Dummy McKinney, who weighed 145 pounds. He said the Dummy would never do, as they had a man out there who was knocking a man out each night. I asked him how big his man was. He said he weighed 142 pounds. "That's all right," I replied. "Dum my can attend to him But he said he didn't want me to bring Dummy, for he desired some one that would sure kill this man killer. I told him he'd be accommo dated. We finally agreed to accept $n0 and the Dummy and I embarked for Somerville. We were met by a dele gation of about 20 fight fans when we arrived and after looking Dummy, over they said they felt sorry for him, but I gave them some money to bet for me on the Dummy. Then I went up to look the man killer over. He was a tough-looking bird with two tin ears that made him look bad. but he was traveling with a carnival and I knew he was knocking out setups who were following the show. They had advertised the fight with hand bills on which the fighter's pic ture was printed, along with the fol lowing lines: "Bring on Jess Wlllard. I will stop him in one round." Well, the fight was held in a tent. The ring was 10x10, built about five feet off the ground on 2x4's. It shook when the fighters entered. The battle started. The Dummy wasted no time In getting started and knocked the al leged man-killer down four times in the first round and gave him an aw ful beating. Those Somerville fight fans were so happy that they took up a collec tion for Dummy. Then they all climbed into the ring to shake hands with him. The ring collapsed, and everybody went down together In one big pile. No one was Injured, and it sure was a comical sight to witness. The man-killer did not show any more in Somerville. ROPER STOPS SAMSON. BALTIMORT. Dec. 4. Capt. Bob Roper won his bout with K. O. Sam son in the first round of the Fifth regiment armory here last night. Samson was floored for the count of nine, a minute after the fight had begun. On the second knockdown he was on his feet at the count of nine, but his seconds tossed the towel Into the ring.

A special meeting of the Cleveland boxing com mission has been called for Monday afternoon to investigate why Pal Moore, of Memphis, and Carl Tre- maine, of Cleveland, bantamweights. violated the rules last Thursday by weighing in at a private gymaalum Instead of at the Central Athletic club before an Inspector of the com mission. It was intimated by members of the commission today that boxers In the stables of Tommy Walsh and Jimmy Dunn, managers, respectively of the two boys, probably would be disbarred from appearing here for the remainder of the season. If this Is done, it Is likely they also will be prohibited from boxing in the state. Moore and Tremalne were to have boxed ten rounds here Thursday night, but because Tremalne was three pounds over the stipulated 119 pounds Moore refused to go on and the bout was cancelled.

The winner of Monday night's battle will be matched with Pal Moore, Memphis bantam, at the local glove shop within the near future. Hughes made his bow to Memphis fight fandom last Monday night by decisively ; trimming Young Jack Dempsey, a Memphis midget. Kid I'ancho Is not known In Mem- phis save by reputation, but he brings a bag of clippings from the Pacific coast, where he han been fighting, showing that he has won 68 out of his past 69 engagements and that he has flattened nine out of the past 10 opponents. Any boxer with such a record Is bound to pos sess quite a large slice of fistic class, and the indications are that Bobby Hughes, who put up such an excel lent exhibition last Monday night. will have to cut loose all his seserve stock of fistic wares in order to get the decision over the lad from the Golden West HUGHES IS FAVORED. Local fight fans will make Hughes the favorite owing to his fine show ing last Monday night, but several of the wise ones who have seen .pancno in his daily training stunts at the Southern Athletic club are of the opinion that he is going to provide Hughes with one of the busiest even ings he has had in many aays. pan cho. who is und the managerial wing of Blacky Raggio, believes he will be able to defeat Hughes, and It must be admitted that in his work outs he looks good. Just how he will stack up in tne rmg against. Hughes is an equine of a different hue.

He can hit from any angle, and is inclined to force the fighting at all times. He did not appear to extend himself last week, but that he will have to cut loose all of his reserve stock of wallops appears certain now, If Pancho looks anything in the -ring like he does against his sparring partners. n.. tha nm rnrd will be an eight- round bout between Hambone Mur phy and Kid Jackson, a pair oi auBKy lfirnt wet Phts.
