TIE SOLID THREE. lasMIle, Eiiinille tod Montgomery Forts i Combine AND VOTE AGAINST ATLANTA Atlanta, New Orleans and Mobile Have Mo Voice in Awarding the Association Pennant Chattanooga, September By the votes of Nashville, Evansville and Montgomery, the Southern Association pennant for 1886 was this morning awarded to Nashville. Atlanta, New Orleans and Mobile did not participate in the meeting and had Farcical in the extreme, foolish and absurd were the proceedings of the so called meeting which rendered the decision and adopted a resolution declaring Nashville the pennant winners, and peurlle was the action of Mr.

During the evening President Nlcklin I did i the Atlanta why 1 left then think, neither did he in the night, that three ie association made a quo wlth Mr. Naeter, in which he stated that amount of money. "That is what I want," he said, "and if I can get it I will be satisfied."

About that point li want," said morning after President Nlcklin had called the meeting to order Mr. Naeter failed to be present. On the roll call Dr. White presented a paper from Mr. Naeter giving him authority to act for Evansville, while Mr.

Cherry exhibited the telegram from Montgomery containing the proxy with lu be required to serve. Atlanta opposed the transferNdeclarlng that Mr. Naeter had no right to Issue the proxy 10 Dr White snould be issued by the owners of the Evansville club. Dr. White asserted that Mr.

Naeter was one of the owners of the Evansville club and could issue the proxy The president ruled that the proxy was good and it was so recorded That placed the vote of Nashville, Evansville and Montgomery in the hands of Dr. White and Mr. Cherry, both of Nash manager of that team. It was unreasonable to presume that Nashville would at any time vote for anything that would help Atlanta along. The instructions and Evi that th.

Atlanta from both Montgomery holders could not have voting was in the hands of' Dr. been during the meeting. Atlanta and New Orleans were both present, Atlanta holding New Orleans' proxy. A blind man could easily see the result It was Nashville, Montgomery and Evansville against Atlanta and New Orleans. It was three to two and nothing could be accomplished except what one of those three clubs wanted.

The farce developed thoroughly when Dr. White took the floor and moved a reconsideration of the action of yesterday gtove which What medicine is that it shall do yea purify and enrich your blood, throw off that tired feeling, and five you health, strength, courage and ambition.

"Now," said Dr. White, "when It was your way last night It was all right; bui now that it has changed and comes ouj way you want to leave. Stay and your medicine like a little man." "I think," replied Atlanta, "that at time last night there were some other peo that kind," said Dr. "that you are leaving the meeting to break "I have said nothing of the kind and do not intend to say it, unless it so suits.

That's all. I will leave and see you get Atlanta carrying New Orleans' proxy left the room. A few minutes later President Nlcklin was called out and asked If he Intended to allow the meeting to go on with three members present. The question aw on th. leeting went on.
