VOLUME 2; NUMBER 168.
CONVICT BILL
COMES UP TODAY
♦
Georgia Legislature to
to* Take Up this Impor
tant Matter
SOME NEW GAME LAWS
Bill Providing for Obtaining Copies
Colonial Records from London
Put Through—Steering Com
mittee Turned Down.
Atlanta, Aug. 1. —The house did a
little bit of all sorts yesterday.
The convict question was set as a
special order for tomorrow morning
lmmediatly after the reading of the
Journal, and it is hoped the house
will finally dispose of the measure at
that time.
Anew game law was passed. Rather
it is a compilation of the present game
laws of the state with several im
portant amendments, including protec
tion for summer duck, marsh henß
and other game birds which have not
heretofore been taken into considera
tion.
Another interesting measure which
went through provides tor a register
a f all posted lands to be kept in the
office of the ordinary, such register to
he considred as notice to all parties
proposing to hunt, fish or otherwise
trespass. -
The resolution appropriating $2,000
to obtain, copies of important colonial
records relating to Gergia, which exist
only In London, and the resolution
authorizing the state treasurer to
transfer pension money from one pen
sion fund tin
Again the house refused to entertain
the proposition looking to the appoint
ment of a steering committee. The
members opposing the steering corn
much power over the business of the
house in the hands of the speaker.
Only the calendar, therefore, will
have the right of way unless certain
measures are taken up and made
special orders.
Protection of Birds.
The house passed the bill by Mr.
Harden, of Chatham, to amend the
game laws for the protection of birds
and other game by a vote of 106 to
6. This bill contains very few new
features, being largely a compilation
and revision of the game law* already
on the statute books. Among the new
features, however, is a provision for
the protection of summer duck, the
closed season being fixeed from Febru
ary 1 to September 1. The people of
the coast counties have been very
anxious for some legislation, protec
ting this bird. The closed season for
doves under an amendment by Mr.
George, of Morgan, which was adop
ted, is changed to the period between
March 15 to July 15.
This bill prohibits the baiting,
netting or trapping of partridges or
Quail by any person at any time ex
cept on his own lands. Game wardens
are to be appointed by the judges of
the uperior courts, thteir cpomensation
to be one-half of the fines and for
feitures taken in for violation of the
act.
One of the amendments proposed by
Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, prohibited
the shooting of more than twenty-five
birds by one person on one hunt.
"Why should you abut off ft sports
man at dinner time." asked Mr.
George, of Morgan. “Down my way
we don’t oonslder twenty-five birds
any hunting at all.”
Mr. Calvin thought the shooting of
twenty-five birds was sufficient for any
real sportsman.. The amendment was
aimed against the pot hunter, he said.
The amendment was finally lost.
The house adopted an amendment
requiring judges of superior courts
to give the provisions of the act in
charge to their grand juries..
Mr Butts, of Glynn, got through his
amendment including "marsh hens"
in the list of game birds to be pro-
t6Cto(li
The substitute was then adopted
and the bill was passed by a vote ot,
106 to 6. Upon request ot Mr. Harden I
the bill was ordered immediately
transmitted to the senate.

PILOTS AGAIN
ARE VICTORIOUS
Defeated Fitzgerald Yes
terday by a Score of
6 to 3
WILE PLAY AGAIN TODAY
Fitzgerald Team Still Think They
Can Down the Pilots and Will
Fight Hard for Victory
This Afternoon.
By a score of 6 to 3 the Pilots yes
terday afternoon defeated the Fitz
gerald aggregation in a game which
was full of errors, pretty plays, heavy
hitting, and evrythhig else that goes
to make up both a good and poor
game.
The game cannot be called a good
one, for the fact that it did not have
the snap to it that interests the root
ers, and the visitors were outplayed
by the Pilots In every way, batting,
fielding and base running.
However, the Fitzgerald team de
monstrated that they can play ball.
The team did not arrive here until 4
o’clock In the afternoon; had been
traveling since early morning, with
out anything to eat,, and then rushed
on the diamond to play ball. The boys
were all pretty well fatigued from
their trip, but nevertheless they play
ed a very good game and it was the
heavy hitting at the right time by the
locals that defeated them. Two
new men were in the gam with the
Pilots yesterday Grimes, on the firing
line, and Barrett at first, and both of
them played a good game The new
pitcher had the visitors at hjs mercy
gild up to the fifth a safe
Hjk’&ip SMtMKrA • lie ■■•'tit
striking out eleven men.
The Pilots commenced thier run
making in the very first inning, mak
ing two runs. They made one in the
third, two In the sixth and one in the
seventh. The visitors failed to score
until the eighth inning, when,, with
several hits and that many errors by
the locals, three men crossed the
home plate.
Owing proabbly to the fact that it
was reported that the visitors would
not arrive in time to play the game,
the attendance was small.
The following is ttie score;

Walker pitches today.
Seventh straight victory for the
Pilots,
Barrett, the new man seen on first,
yesterday, has recently removed to
the city and accepted a position with
Bowen &. Thomas. He formerly
played ball in Louisville, Ky., and is
said to be a good player. He did good
work yesterday and led in. the batting.
Grumes is a good, heady pitcher.
Yesterday when tne Pilots went to
pieces in the eightiln inning he settled
down and struck out three men. He
is also a sale batter.
The game this aiternoon promises
to be more interesting than the one
yesterday. The Fitzgerald team had
a good rest last night, and also got
somejhng to ©at and will be better
able to play, Walker and Chapel will
oppose each other ifi the box.
