GOVERNOR HUM
FRIEND TO BIRDS
Killed EWing'S Live Bird
Shooting Match Bill
LOCAL MlRKSMEN SURPRISED
Representative Ewing and Friends OF
The Measure Thought Bill
Was Signed

Something has dropped and that
something has fallen i'm the midst OF
Representative Owing. and his friends
who fought and Thought they had
gained the victory. It comes to light
that Governor Hum has not simed
the bill legalizing Hive pig
'cOn matches No was the
general opinion that the bin had pass
ed and been signed by the governor,
but such was not che case. The sports
were so sure of the bin that they heid
one live bird match.
Representative Ewing's original bill
was TO amend section 3, chapter 81. OF
the Revised Code, by striking out the
words "Or shooting matches" The
leiCct of the original bill was TO not
lonly legalize shooting matches with
live birds, but also legalize betting and
gambling ON such matches. Although
the statutes prohibited shooting
matches many contests with clay
pigeons and blue rock Targets have
taken place within the State. butno cog
nizance was taken OF them by the au-
lthorlties, as the courts had placed a
general construction upon the law that
the words Shooting matches" were in
tended to cover shoots at which live
birds were used. The intent was to pre-
vent cruelty by slaughterng and
naimimg birds at the matches
When 1t was found that the bill lag
lalized gambling, some of its friends
4 ldissented, and the bill was reconsid-
deserted, and the bill was reconsid-
,lered and amended so that the gam
bling was prohibited, and the live
matches permitted. This amendment
was passed, and the bill as amended
was sent 20 the governor for his sigma.
lture.
The governor failed to sign the bill
land as the statute now remains UNI
lamended, the original provisions pro
hibitng live bird shooting matches anl
gambling threat remain and the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty z,
q Animals will proceed against any fur
r. thcr violators of the law.
