SPIESS NOW LEADING
ANOTHER BASE BALL WAR POSI-
BILE BETWEEN BIG LEAGUES.
New Game Laws for Maryland-New
Orleans Races-Olympic Golf Dates
Basket Ball Games.

The match between the Golden Eagles
and Saengerbund last Wednesday night
completed thirty games for all the teams OF
the District Bowling League, and the sea-
son of 19o3-1904 has reached the halfway
mark of the scheduled season.
This year the race is the closest the
league has known since the memorable
campaign three years ago. when at mid
season only a few games separated the
highest and lowest teams. After the teams
settled down subsequently to the first few
sets the 'Bund and the Fat Men appeared
to outclass their opponents. and while they
are still regarded as the two strongest
quints their margin of lead has been very
much reduced during recent sets, partic-
ularly the jolly Fats who have lost six out
of their last nine games. None OF the
teams is so weak that the result of a set
is not in doubt, as demonstrated during the
three set series just finished, when the Fat
Men. who were tied with the 'Bund in the
race for the championship, dropped two
games to the tralers.
The SaengeTs were also apparently booked
for the loss of two games three in their
set with the Eagles. but the Birds flight
was a Langley affair. and after victory in
the first game they lost the next two, which
places the SaengerS in the lead by mar
gin of one game.
Owing to a tangle in the first game OF
the Acme-Business Men set the exact
standing OF these teams cannot be aScer-
tanned until the case has been decided at
a league meeting. but in the event of the
decision going against them the Acmes
Still hold third place. they have more
pins to their credit than the B. MS, who
would have the Same number of games won
and lost. 1t has been the practice of the
iccal leagues to accept the book score as
official, but in Chicago. New York and
other large cities the board is the official
score, with which the book is checked, and
the consensus of opinion among our bowl.
ers is that the board should govern, as that
is the only means the bowler, his team
mates and followers have of watching his
score. whereas it is extremely difficult for
the book scorer to watch both book and
bowler. The outcome of the Acme Bust
ness Men discussion. which is based on a
discrepancy between book and board, will
no doubt ultimately result in the various
local leagues adopting the board as the
correct record next season. Following Is
the team standing. which gives two games
to the Business Men and one to the AGNES
in their last set:

NEW GAME LAWS.
Maryland Protective Association Asks
for Additional Legislation.

The Maryland State Game and Fish Pro-
tective Association has prepared a game
warden's law and ducking law, which ii
is about to ask the Maryland legislature to
pass. These laws are prepared with view
to bringing the laws of Maryland into
harmony with the game laws Of other states
and for the preservation of wild animals.
birds and fish, conserving the future supply
of game In rational manner.
The officers of the association have con-
suited with game dealers, wholesale and
ing the new laws. and 1t is believed that
they meet the general approval of all who
are interested
Mr.. Ogden Milton Dennis. secretary of
the association. in explaining the proposed
application of the law yesterday made the
following statement:
First, the proposed new law has for its
primary and main object uniformity of the
game laws of this state. There is no change
in the open season, except that the new
law will make 1t lawful to shoot birds and
game except certain shore birds, from No
vember l to December "a. but 1t will be
lawful for those who have game In their
possession killed on or prior to December
"a to use or sell the same up to January
following.
THAT provision Is put in for this reason
Many dealers have a large stock of birds
on hand on the last day of the closed sea-
son, to W.T. december ~, Nand IL Is unfair
to them to say that they must destroy these
birds or throw them away. Te meet this
the season for having In possession Is ex-
tended one week. but of course during that
week no birds may be caught or killed.
..Second-Many dealers are under the i'm
preston that they cannot sell or export
game at any time during the open closed
seasons. The bin makes no such provision.
All reference to the sale and export of game
and birds is to the closed season, to wit,
January / to November /. In this instance
the law remains the same as 1t has been
for years.

Defeated Good Shepherd in Fast Game
of Basket Ball.

The basket ball team representing the
Technical High School defeated the Good
Shepherd Athletic Association team last
night in one-sided game. Although the
Good Shepherds put up strong game and
got In some team work. 1t was apparent
from the first that the Tech boys were
the strongest. The first half was quite in
teresting owing to the good defense Of the
church boys. In the second half the Good
Shepherd team seemed to give up hope. and
with their hope went the game. The fea-
lures of the game were the playing of Sa-
carlo for Tech and pretty run during
the last five minutes OF play. when Tech
scored Ia points. The playing of Stratten
and Ashley was best TOR Good Shepherd.

does not make it unlawful for a resident to
kill birds or game In his own county with
out first obtaining license. 1t provides
that nonresident of the state shall pay a
license fee of $40 before hunting: but that
all resident hunters other than those who
reside In a particular county shall procure
a license and pay therefor the sum of 81.
That is to say, If Mr.. E. lives in Anne Arun-
del county he will not have to procure a
license to shoot in Anne Arundel county,
but if he wants to shoot in any of the
other counties of the state he will have to
procure license. paying 81 therefor
This bill will give the landowner the
privilege of inviting any one to shoot on his
property provided he has hunters license.
The bill is introduced mainly for the pur-
pose of preventing "a man in one county
cleaning up the game in his county and
then stepping over the line and cleaning up
the game in his neighbours county. OF
course, sportsmen and gentlemen do not do
this thing but market and pot hunters do"

GEORGETOWN CREW.
Candidates at Work on Rowing Ma
chimes Under Coach Dempsey.

The remarkable showing made by the
Georgetown Varsity crew at the intercol-
legiate regatta on the Hudson last June
when it finished second to Cornell and de-
cisively defeated Wisconsin. Pennsylvania,
Syracuse and Columbia aroused an unpre-
cedented interest in rowing among the fol-
lowers of the Blue and Gray, who anticipate
another most successful season for the local
college oarsmen.
The indoor work of the candidates for
aquatic honors is now on in earnest and
every afternoon a large squad reports to
Coach dempsey for practice on the rowing
machines in the basement of College Hall.
The men are now being taught the tunda-
mental principles of the stroke including
the catch, recovery, control of the slides
running aft and the leg drive This work
will continue until about the first of March,
when the candidates will be boated and
have daily spins on the river under the
watchful eyes of the coach.
AS a nucleus for this years varsity Coach
Dempsey has six of the men who rowed at
Poughkeepsie last June. Atkinson, stroke
Bremner. No. Z: Curran. No. 6: Hayden,
No. A; Graham. No. 2, and Shepard, bow
are good oarsmen with the advantage of a
season of hard work and success to help
them. While much promising material re-
ported after the call for candidates last
week. still the number of big men is not
as large as WOULD Do QeSlraDle. 1t lS eX-
pected that when the mid-term examina-
tons end next week the squad will be con-
siderably augmented by the reporting of
many men who have not yet come out be-
cause of fear of conditions which would
make them ineligible for the varsity shell
Last year the lack of crew funds made the
abandonment Of aauatics seem Inevitable.

Judge Holden took occasion to ex-
