THE ATLANTA OEORrHAX AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1907. Thi» it Superman, Jas. R. K» en.’s winner of the Brooklyn handicap. Not long ago Superman equalled the-world's record for a mile and a eixteenth, 1:443-5, In the graph Miller ia jn the aaddle. 1 J ' NEW ORLEANS INVASION FOLLOWS PIRATE WIND-UP SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS It has been a custom of the past for Atlanta and Georgia sportsmen to slip down into Alabama before the law went off on qnnil in Georgia and kill a few birds. This was made possible by the fact that Alabama had no state game law and the few counties which had game laws made little pretense of enforcing them. Times have changed, however. March 19, 1907, the new' state game and fish law went into effect in Alabama and it is one of the tightest aggregations of statutes ever devised for the protection of game. Here are a few of the provisions of the act: No person shall destroy a nest of any wild bird—penalty $10 to $25. No person shall use snares of any character nor pursue birds or deer between dark and duylight of the following day— penalty $5 to $25. Bag limit is one deer, two turkeys and twenty-five game birds of any other species in one day—penalty $5 to $25. No person shall sell any game birds or animals at any time —penalty $5 to $25. When conviction is secured warden making the arrest shall receive same fee which constable is entitled to in misdemeanor cases. Any official or warden who fails to perform his duty under * the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor—penalty $50 to $100. Permits issued on payment of $1. It shall be unlawful to hunt without permit outside the lim its of the voting precinct, ward or beut in which person actually resides—penalty $5 to $25. The requirements for procuring a non-resident hunter's li- • cense, hieh is of particular interest to Georgia hunters, arc: Any non-resident may procure license by filing affida vit with the probate judge of any county in tho state (Alabama), stating age, place of residence, postoffice address, col or of eves and hair, whether or not c(fn write own name, and by f paying judge $15. It is unlawful to ship game unless the personal property of shipper and accompanied by owner, carrying license—penalty $10 '. to $50. ’ Common carriers must not carry game except when owner - is with it—penalty $50 to $100. Tt is unlawful to hunt on laud of another without written per- missi(|). The opon seasons provided by the act follow: Wild turkey gobblers—December 1 to March 1. Quail and dove—November l'to March 1. Swans, geese, brant, ducks, rails, coots, mud liens, sand pi pers, woodcocks, curlews and other shore birds—November 1 to March 1. Snipe and plover—November 1 to March 1—penalty $10 to $25 in each case. Pheasants are protected to 1912. Squirrels—September 1 to February 1. These laws are decidedly stringent. However, it has loug been obvious that stringent laws and more stringent enforce ment are needed to prevent the slaughter of game .by the game "hogs” and “pot hunters.” . Possibly Georgin game protectors could get some valuable ideas from the Alabama law.

New* York, June 16.—Montgomery, the champion of the recent New Or leans winter racing season. Is the fa vorite of the $20,000 Suburban'handi cap, to be run at Hheepshead, Bay on next Thursday afternoon. On a slow, pocky track, Montgomery will stand at about 3 to 1, while he flftures at C to 1 over a fast course, according to the bookmakers. In 1903 Irish Lad took- the Brooklyn handicap, und Africander the Suburban handicap. Both were three-year-olds. This spring Superman, a three-year- old. has already unnexed the Brooklyn handicap, while here Is Montgomery of better class than she has yet shown. But 116 pounds’ on ‘Running Water makes her a tfilrd choice to Montgom- Inomlng up at the .eleventh hour ns the most formidable' factor In the field of probable starters for the Suburban. If the footing turns heavy and Dan delion is scratched, Rarikte will ride "Mohty.” otherwise Trojtler will proba bly have the log. The fact that the professional following. In the betting ring regards Montgomery ns the natu ral favorite under any sort of track conditions Is the most interesting fact sticking out of the Suburban handicap situation at the present moment. The final withdrawals from the big fixture will be made late today. Dr. Gardner, Burgomaster, Accountant and Sewell will be taken from the list of candidates in all probability, leaving lively, "Red” McKenzie, of Winnipeg, Gan., getting the latter.. However, Montgomery Wintered exceptionally Just sixteen starters Of these George C. Bennett, of Memphis, has In Disha bille a doubtful starter, os, she Is pone too well. .Th^. great i tbree-year-o!d Electioneer, winner of the 1906 Futuri ty, must be put on the doubtful list, too. He has a dicky leg. The three- year-old* Sewell is off color. Next to Morttgomery. the Keene three-year-old. Superman, Is fancied with Running Water- close by. The Whitney horse.

Any way you look at the 907 Suburb an, handicap it appears to be a three- year^- old ’ propoal t Ion. This year's field Is small and of mediocre quality when one compares the complement of horses over which Hermls, Beldame, Gold Heels, Salvator, Henry of Navarre and Alcedo won In the years gone by. Still, Handlcapper Vosburgh has,come to the rescue nobly, for' his w'elght scheme brings the field to an even balance, which means a keen horse race. Perhaps Montgomery is the most In teresting of all the entrants. He Is a arm of Petsara—Montgomery Cooper. As a two-ydar-old-he was raced spar ingly by Frank A. Forsythe. He did not show’ anything, so good as the form of FountalnblUe or Tourenne, colts that well at Montgomery Park, Memphis, Tenn., and early this spring he showed the benefits of not having served n hard two-year-old campaign, for he took the Crescent City Derby at New Orleans, La., rather handily, and in the Bay- chester Handicap at Belmont Park nnd the Broadway Stakes at Gravesend last week he took Into camp a lot of first- class three-year-olds. Including Frank Gill, winner of the Withers. Kmll Her*, tho wealthy young Ger man turfman, bought Montgomery ten days ago for 825,000 cash. He won him out in the Baychester and took down almost .830,000 when he won the Broad way Stakes from Arclte, backing him from 8 to B to even money. With 104 pounds flp,. Montgomery will run the one!mile.and.a.quarter In 2:05, accord ing to his trainer, Frank E. Brown. Special fo The Georgian. Shreveport, La.. June 15.—By win ning yesterday’s game of ball from Shreveport Atlanta pulled up Into first place In the Southern League standing. The Memphis team spilled a game to Montgomery over on the turtle-backed diamond and that gave the Crackers the opening they wanted for a dash to the front. The Crackers won thetr game as they have won most of them this season, by plugging away at the pitcher and get ting their hits together. Beeker for the home team and Spade for Atlanta both allowed the same num ber of hits—eleven each. But the Crack ers puj over run after run. while It was not until the victory was clinched for Atlanta that the Pirates loosened up and stole a run or two. It was Atlanta all the way. with never a moment of worry for the Cracker supporters. One run was put across by Billy Smith's henchmen In the first Inning and two In the third. Three'more men tallied In the fourth, and Just to keep things going nicely one more went over In the sixth. After that Shreveport’s efforts were strenuous, but futile. Bill Smith’s cripples played a crack rest of the team got away with numer ous fancy fielding stunts. The hit performers of the day for Atlanta were SJd Smith, Fox and Spade. Between them they nccounted for seven. * Carr for Shreveport made four hits in four times at bat, Warrender made a couple, and sc Shreveport. Warrender. rf. . 4 Lewee, 2b. J Cgrr. as.. ..

Eleven hits Friday and Vet he won. Also he < little hits Saturday's and Sunday's games in Shreveport end the trouble for the Crackers in that section of isouislana. Then the Atlanta bunch goes down Into Charley Frank's stronghold and for three strenuous days there will be do ings In the Crescent City. After New Orleans the Crackers get a day of rest and then • come three games In Memphis. These battles end the Western Inva sion and when they are out of the way Billy Smith and his men come home for three games with Nashville. They then swing through the East for a few’ bat tles, returning home for July 4. Count Campau, once manager In New Orleans, is now training horses In Buf falo. Hugh Roberts, of The Birmingham Age-Herald, is trying to discern in the vaporings of Charles Frank over the player 'limit question some real war clouds. Don't you think it. Hugh. The league is making money now and hasn't any time for such foolishness as war. Peace pays so much better. This seems to be Baxter Sparks' bad year. He was batted out of the bo* by Jacksonville Friday. ATLANTA BOWLING TEAM WINS BY NARROW MARGIN Amid acenea of much enthusiasm and with 1 the • largest crowd 1 present that has ever turned out to witness bowl- ins match In the city, the Atlanta team defeated the Georgia Hallway and Electric Company’s team Friday night on G. W. Case's alleys by a meager score of 75 pins. The contest com prised three games, all of which were hotly contested, especially the third, which went to Atlanta by only three pins. The games last .night concluded the match between the Atlanta team and the railway and electric company's team and the railway boys are very anxious to start another series, as they are confident that If given another op portunity they can vanquish the At lantans. Judging from last night's performance they will give them the warmest reception they have yet re ceived, If the Atlanta team accept. challenge. The score follows: Atlanta Taam.
