Asheville, Nov. 19—President W.H. Bramham of the Sally League magnates has proved himself to be a man among men. At the annual winter meeting of the Sally League magnates at Spartanburg earlier in the week the league directors agreed and voted to give Judge Bramham a substantial increase in pay.
“I will not accept it,” declared the league president when told of it. “I have the league at heart. I am more interested in building up a strong and solid organization than I am for my own personal gains and will not accept the raise although I thoroughly appreciate your thoughtfulness.”
Magnates left the meeting admiring Judge Bramham all the more.
From the front page of the Concord Daily Tribune, Friday, Nov. 20, 1925. Wikipedia tells us that the South Atlantic League, nicknamed the SALLY League, was a Minor League Baseball league that operated in the Southern United States intermittently from 1904 to 1963. Initially Class C league, it was elevated to Class B in 1921, Class A in 1946, and Double-A in 1963. The circuit dissolved after the 1963 season and was refounded as the Southern League.
