JACKSONVILLE, Fla.— Mullaney, the prize leader of the Scouts, can he found In his pool-room every nigh; sending out letters to who are anxious to perform witn tho local team during the coming season. He is now after a corking good short slop, a player well known to local tana, anil if he lands this player he will have one of the steadiest and headiest infields in the league. Mull will be on first and the chances are that Johnny Bierkotte, alias Kid Berkle, will he seen on the keystone cushion. The man who bents Tim Dwyer out of his position at third will have to be a good one, and the prospects look pretty bright for Timothy holding down the difficult corner another sea son. Dwyer has returned to hiß home in Providence and in a letter to the wri ter ho says he Is already in splendid shape and he is anxiously awaiting the time when the Scouts will report in this city for training purposes. Mullaney says that he has practi cally closed with the short stop that he was after, but that until he had secured the signature of the player to the Scout contract he did not wish the name of tho player to bo made public. He will be a great help to the team, being one of the brainiest bail players that ever stepped on an Infield. Johnny Dobbs, Chattanooga, Is after tho player, but Mull hopes to land him. Connie Lewis is still In tho city and says he may not play ball this season. He has a position on the owning paper, in the circulation de partment. and he says he is so well satisfied that he may not go back ty the diamond. He has had numerous offers, one from Macon, but he says he has not yet signed and may not do so. But it's a safe bet that Con-' nle will be playing ball when tho spring time comes around. He says if he plays he expects to remain in the Sally league. Cad Coles, who piaved such bril ! liaut ball for Augusta last season, is I now in the city visiting his parents ■in Riverside. He was drafted by one of the major league teams but tho chances are that he will put in an other season in the South Atlantic and then go to faster company.

Lieutenant Britt passed what looked to be an ordinary dry goods box. As he pass led he heard the sonorous sound of j some one in deep sleep. On investi gating he found a little negro boy | sleeping in the box. He awoke the boy, who said his name was Otis Hogan. Otis said his mother beat him Fri day morplng and he ran away from j home to make her mad. The kind I hearted lieutenant save him a night's | lodging in the city's free lodging house. Before Judge Plcquet Satur day morning Otis told the same story. I Judge Picquet decided Otis' parents were not taking care of him, so he idecided to send him te the reform atory for a year. THE AUGUSTA HERALD CRACK SHOTS ARE COMING TO A UG US TA jy-CO. MAXW *V-SUTt <eft / Annie Oakley, George E. Maxwell and Frank Butler, a trio of the world’s finest shots, will give an ex hibition of rifle, shotgun and revolver marksmanship at the Georgia-Caro llna fair grounds on Monday, Feb ruary Ist., free of charge. Annie Oakley Is perhaps the most famous shot in the world. She travel ed for a number of years with the Buffalo Bill Wild West shows and was a drawing card with that organiza tion. She performs practically ev ery possible feat or markstpanship with the revolver, rifle and shotgun. George W. Maxwell is a one-armed expert. He ranks as one of the fore most trap shooters of the world. Dur ing the year 1908, he recorded an av erage of 95.2 per cent out of 10,000 shots. He began trap shooting in 1903, and entered the professional ranks in 1907. His( feats are all the more marvelous because of the handi cap imposed by the loss of his arm. Frank E. Butler is also one of the OPENING DOS IN BIU.EAGUES American Starts April Twelfth and National Two Days Later. CLEVELAND. President Harry Pulliam, president of the National baseball league, and President Ban Johnson, of the American league, and other members of the schedule com mittee for the two major leagues, met here and compared tentative schedules for the 1909 season. The committee went as far as possible to day and adjourned. The only announcement made was that, the American league will in the oast on April 12 and the National in the west on April 14.

ENGLE DRIFTED BYJTNLLINGS Fast Sallie League Player Leaves Eastern League For Faster Company. JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Cvlde En gle, a South Atlantic product, who tor the past three seasons has been one of the sensations of the fast Eastern league, Is in the city Engle Is en route down the east coast, whore he expects to spend the re mainder of the winter. The young player has been drafted by the New York Americans and he will report to' Manager Stallings as soon rs the training Season opens. He is an am bitious player and incidentally one of the fastest lnfielders that ever grad uated from a minor league. v His South Atlantic league friends wish for him the best of success when he gets In the btg show, LITTLE CHANCE FOR ANOTHER BIG AUTO RACE SAVANNAH. Or.—Prominent Sa vannahians who have returned from a visit to New York where they met .many of the officials of the Automo bile Club of America, say there seems i little chance for another big interna |tiosal automobile race in America soon, if one Is held though, Savan nah will probably get it The last | race netted Savannah something be tween $6,000 and $6,000. best-known living shots. He has es tablished records in fourteen different countries of the world. His marks manship at ciay pigeons is almost un equalled. Some of Miss Oakley’s performances with the revolver are said to be astounding. Small woden balls are thrown into the air and broken with case, the larger fragments being shat tered again before they reach the ground. All manner of small objects are thrown up, and a miss for Annie Oakley is exceedingly rare. Small .22 calibre cartridges, almost too small to he seen while in the air, are hit with unerring aim. One of her won derful feats is to roll a tomato can along the ground by repeatedly aim ing glancing bullets at its upper edge. Wide interest is manifest among the local gun club members, and a large crowd will see the exhibition. An especial invitation is extended to ladies. BRIGHTER FDD CD™ leicue Outlook is Better, Though But One Manager Has Been Signed As Yet. JACKSON, Miss—Although it is a difficult mater to stir up baseball en thusiasm during overcoat and fur muff weather, the six associations composing the Cotton States league seem to be making fairly good head way with the work of getting their financial affairs in shape for the ap proaching season. In Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi, Colum bus, Meridian, Monroe and Vicksburg committees are actively engaged in soliciting tree will contributions to be used in wiping out exisitlng deficits and there is every reason to believe that in each of these towns sufficic ent money will be raised to get the teams for 1909 organized after paying off encumbrances left over from last season. In this city it is necessary to raise about $1,500, and the committee has over S7OO pledged, with pome of the principal devotees of the game yet to come forward with their contribu tions. , Monroe is the only town in .the league that has signed the Vicksburg veteran, having secured contrcfl of the team, and this means that the Louisi ana town is going(_to make a better showing than last year, for Biack burn has some good players on his string, and there are few men in! minor league company who know the, game more thoroughly. Jackson has not yet signed Carlos I Smith, the ex-B'rmtnghaiTT outfielder. 1 but the chances are about 10 to 1 that he will lead t. e Lawmakers this year, for he is anxious to take charge i of the team if proper terms can be arranged. No information can be gathered from Vicksburg, Gulfport, Monroe or Columbus indicating the managerial plans, but it is known that boards of dtrectors at those places have ne gotiations pending with several players.

WASHINGTON.—The little guinea fowl is proving popular with the Washington housekeeper this winter. In fact, it usually does, but the high turkey plices this season has made it more popular than ever. Of all the different kinds of fowls shipped to the market, the guinea alone ranks half way between game and poultry. When game and poultry have supplied the demand, the guinea always comes in for a strenuous sea son on the market along toward the close of winter. The season is just now gaining headway. “Blindfolded, I could not tell the difference between guinea meat and that of prairie chicken.” said a prom inent poultry dealer today. "The meat is as well flavored and certain ly has the taste es game.” Just at present the wholesale quo tation on guineas ranges between 12 and 14 cents. The supply this year is said to be running short, and, con- I sequently, the price is expected to ad I vance rather than recede with the progress of the season.
