TO CHANGE THE LAW Ordinance of Alderman Dart is a Good One. BfNEfIT OF STOCK OWNERS Ordinance Was Placed on its First Reading and Will be Passed at Next Session of the City Councl.. The ordinance introduced by Alder man Dart at the council meeting Thursday night, and which was placed on its first reading, is a good one and will serve tokeep flic cow catcher and owners of animals from conflietng in future. The ordinance provides that, should a cow, horse, etc., be running the streets, and the impounding officer and the owner both being after the animal, it shall be the duty of the officer to let the owner have the ani mal without cost. At present it often occurs that the Impounding officer and the owner of a horse or cow are boh after the “prisoner” at the same time, and a lively chase is often witnessed, and on many occasions a conflict has been narrowly averted. The ordinance in full, as read the first time, is as fol lows: liy Alderman Dart. An ordinance to amend section 549 of tlie eoiß; of the city of Brunswick Georgia, providing for the impounding of cattle and other live stock, anil for other purposes: Section 1.

SAVANNAH WON A USELESS GAME Defeated Pilots Yesterday By a Score of 13 to 6. * • WILL TRY II AGAIN TODAY Feature of Game Yesterday was the Pitching of Smith, Who Struck Out Thirteen of the Y. M. C. A. Team. The game of baseball between the Pilo*s and the Y. M. C. A. team of Savannah was one of Iho poorest ana .most uninteresting and altogether “bum” ever -seen on the local dia mond. Indeed, so fierce was the ex hibition that, at the end of the sev .enth inning, half of the fans left the grounds in disgust. And then, in the seventh and eighth inning, after tie locals had scored 5 runs, making the score 8 and B, they became crazy in the ninth and let the visitors score as many as they had made all dur ing the game. The final score was 13 to 6 in favor of Savannah. . it was certainly an off day with Prank Mallard. He played’(?) second and then transferred to third,and will probably he on the bench today. The score showed that he made four er rors anil everyone of them counted. If Frank would cut out hat funny business he would do better. But ho is not the only one wtho played a poor game. Indeed, the entire team seemed to be a little off. Smith, tlio new pitcher, was in the box, ami had he been given any sup port at all he would have won the gatne. He was a little wild but suc ceeded in strking out thirteen men, IwjiUffi record. to first, and made _ one or two wrnr pitches at a very critical time. Ai togther Mr. Smith demonstrated that he has plenty of speed, a puzzling dtop and is very good at. the hat, but no pitcher could ‘have done very good with the support that he received yesterday. The Savannah team a,I so played rather a ragged game, but they did j show up a little more training than i the locals, and did not quite come up! to our boys in tlio error column. V/er-1 ner was in the box, hut he was hit ■ hard. The Pilots made most of their hits when they were not needed. Werner only struck out six men. but that is a very good record. The two teams will meet on llie diamond again this afternoon and it is thought and hoped that the game will be a better exhibition. Walker will be in the box for the locals. He is in excellent form, after having a little trouble with his arm. The boys seem to bettor understand Walker and always seem to give him better sup port when he is in the box. It being the Fourth a large crowd will prob ably be out to the game. The score of yesterday’s game is, in detail, as follows: Savannah. ah r h po a o IJorty, 3rd.. 0 2 1 3 0 2 Alley, 2nd. 6 3 1 0 7 2 Brewer, Ist. 0 3 1 13 o 1 Werner, p. 5 12 2 10 o Stark, c. 5 0 1 7 0 0 Suvrese, s. s. 5 110 0 1 Graham, rf. 5 0 0 1 0 0 Righton, of. 5 2 3 1 1 0 Reiley, If. 5 l o 0 0 0 ■IS 13 10 27 Hi (i Brunswick. ah r h po a e Nightengale, 3rd. 5 2 1 0 0 2 O’Conner, s. s. 5 112 2 1 Bowen, c. fi 1 1 18 1 0 Hopkins, If. 5 (♦ 2 2 0 0 Walker, cf. 5 0 10 1c Crovatt, Ist. 4 12 10 1 Wright, rf .4 0 1 0 0 0 Mallard, 2nd. 4 0 2 1 0 4 Smith, p. 4 12 0 If, 0 41 0 13 27 19 X Score by innings: Savannah 2 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 5-1: Brunswick 0 1 0 0 0 0 3 2 0— 0 Summary: Struck out, by Smith, 13; by Werner, 6;two-base hits,]lop kins, Alley,Brewer; bases on hails, off Smith, 4, off Wrsrner, I, wild Pitch, Smith.; Werner, Doty, fir t base on errors, Savannah 2, Brunwick I Stolen bases, Nightengale 2, O’Connor 1, Bowen 2, Hopkins 3, Walker 1, Wright 1, Mallard 1, Smith, 3, Dorty 4, Brewer 5, Werm-rr 2, stark 1, Savrese DOINGS IN THE HOUSF 7 —♦ — Legislators Will Go to Their Homes to Spend the Fourth. A COMMITTEE* NAMED To Consider' the Extension of the Western and Atlantic, But Our Representative Was Not Named On It. Atlanta, July 3.—This/ ■’ps a dull day in the house, us under Mr. Steed’s resolution only local hills were considered. The senate was not in ses sion. and many of the members of both houses left tonight to spend the Fourli at their respective homes. Yestroday Mr. Carrington, of .Mad ison. moved, after hearing the report of the general judiciary on his bill for the extension of the Western and Atlantic road, that the speaker name a committee of seven to consider and report upon the bill, as suggested liv the report of the Judiciary body Tlx- motion was adopted and Speak er Morris named the following on the committee: Carrington, chairman; Dunbar, of Richmond; West, of Lown des; Brock, of Dade; Candler, of De- Kalb; Hawes, of Elbert; Shackleford, of Clark. BARK RESCUE WILL SAIL FROM PORT NEXT WEEK The bark Rescue, which went ashore off Bong Bland several weeks ago, and which, after being rescued, wa brought to this city for repairs, has been finished and will sail next week. Captain Tooker stated to a News r Porter yesterday that, he was mutch The captain said it was one of tlio best jobs lie lias ever had done on a vessel. 1. Righton 3, Keiley, 1. Time of game 2 hours. Umpire. Mr. McCullough.. Caught on the Diamond. Everybody seems to favor (ho uamo Pilots and the team is now being called that by all of the fans. The usual large crowd was present yesterday and it was too bad that the boys played such, poor ball, .lust wait, we will have a chance to root our selves hoarse yet. Fred Brewer, of the Savannah team, is an old player who has been in many a game against Brunswick teams. In deed, years ago the ‘‘sporting editor” played hall with Fred, and his team always came out winners. Someone in the grandstand yester day said the Atlanta hodoo had joined the Pilots. How can this Ire and At lanta has not won a game this week Maybe we have the Atlanta's hoili brother down here. Hunter Hopkins played his usually good game yesterday, accepting two or three chances arid socurig a beau tiful two-bagger in > < igl.li, bring ing two men across the home plate If some of the o M:r members com I put up as good a game as Hunter and work as hard for a. victory the scire would probably lie diffifroni in many of the games. Smith, tlie new pitcher, will make the Pilots an excellent twirler. He did some good work yesterday. HI rill ing out thirteen men in a game is a record seldom made by any pitcher. Walker will lie in the box today. This well known local twirler is con sidereil one of the lies! pitchers in tills sftdion, and no doubt will prove u]i to bis usual standard tlii- after noon. As soon as Alf Crovatt returns and plays shortstop. O’Connor going in the.* field, both the in and outfield will he strengthened by the change. The Fort Screven team from Tyhee will he here? Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week. The Cordele team lost two out of three games to Vienna this week. They ate "not so warm” after all. Ship Notiice. Neither master, owners, nor eon signees of the British steamship Du rango will he responsible for any debts contracted by the crew of -aid steamer. F. D.
