The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-21

High up above the sycamore trees hangs scalp No. from the head of Thomas O'Brien and the Pretzels. The scaping knife did the work again yesterday af- ternoon, and the notches on the handle were: Birmingham z; Montgomery 9. Like a wall falling on Second avenue, tho Barons fell up against the benders of one Brandt and Stultz in the initial time at the bat, and the former was sent to the tall and uncut in about three and one half minutes. In trotted MT. Stultz, and for the next seven and a half innings his measure was taken with regularity.
 All this time Ginger Clarke. of decep- tive delivery, was plugging away and the Pretzels were not able to connect for any thing which resembled enough hits to beat the Barons out of the game.
 The sad, sad blow fell in the first. Re- suit Birmingham scored three runs on couple of bases on balls, three safe bin- gles and a passed ban by Pat Millerlck.
 How They Came.
 It was like this Hafford worked Brandt for n free walk to first base. Miller tried to sacrifice, but instead the ball fell be- tween first and second base, and no Montgomery fielder was there to get 1t. Two men are on the bases and none are out, and Matthews, on ;he coaching line, broke loose yelling worse than a Co., manche. Like a sky rocket MT Brandt went up, and when he cane back to earth again Ward had drawn a base on balls. r; ther Vaughan was next up and 1t looked as if Brandt WIS going to walk him also, so Manager O'Brien sent Stultz in to finish the inning and the game The venerable manager put the wood to the second ball that Stultz threw, and two runners trotted home.
 Delehanty hit an infield grounder and r. ther Vaughan was forced out at sec old, while Delly was safe on the initial bag, and Ward scored. Murdock hit down the third base line Brouthers made a beautiful stop of the ball and threw to first. but he could not recover in time to make a perfect throw and the runner was safe. Clarke ard Moore were easy outs and the side was retired with only three runs to their credit
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-21

Barry was handicapped in his work in right yesterday by bad ankle The best he could do was to limp around out in the garden, and when he hit for two bags in the fourth he could easily have secured another bag if he could have run.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-21

Moore made pretty play in the sixth inning when he slid to first and landed there safely on an infield grounder. Few players would have taken the chance ct reaching the bag safely. and It was a heady piece of work.

The Chicago Chronicle Asks What
the Missourian Would DO for
Chicago.

CHICAGO June 23.-The Chicago
chronicle imam editorial to-day entit.
led"Strenuons Governor Folk, Aconiec.
lures what Missouri's chief executive
would do II he were governor Of
Illinois. The editorial, In part,
says:
when be learned that mobs were
OF daily occurrence in Chicago, and
that the mayor either could not or
would not suppress them; that murder
and murderous assaults we're common,
and that the courts seemed indisposed
TO punish them and that q merchant
could not send barrel Of dried apples
to the depot without exposing the
driver of his truck to the danger Of
being mobbed and killed, what would
he do?
II gambling and shooting craps and
SUNDAY saloons cause him to write
sharp notes to the sheriff and threaten
to use the militia, whether 1t is ask
ed for or not,what would be do IL such
state Of things existed in st. Louis as
exists in Chicago.
We are not In sympathy with some
OF the Missouri laws that the governor
is determined to enforce, but we must
confess to some degree Of admiration
for his diligence in enforcing them. If
the laws are bad that is the best way
to get them repealed.

THE Jefferson City Republican edi-
torially says: ''He sits on the street
corner, 'chews long green 'cusses'
the government, criticises the police,
and tells Of the mismanagement of
municipal affairs He tiendlshly ham,
mers every innovation or contem-
plated improvement which would tend
to bring good TO the city. He vicious
ly spits on the pavement and heaps
maledictions upon those who by in
dustry and economy have been able to
accumulate some of the worlds goods.
Every man is a hypocrite, thief and a
|scoundrel who happens to succeed In
business. If, perchance, this street
corner individual is not regular
saloon loafer then he is a petty spy
who discovered any, If any, are violat-
Ing the law. The odor of scandal first
reaches bis unholy nostrils and fingers
there longest. He is in ghoulish &C.
stasy when he learns OF q new and
choice bit of scandal. The higher the
person In life, the better their charac-
ter before their fall, the choicer the
morsel for him, and the greater the
relish that be tells it. Every town
has the street corner knocker. No
town Is free from them. They are one
Of the necessary evils, If we may use
the term. Self constituted, self or
dalned cepsors, whose Ignorance is as
dense as lava, they are more to be
pItled than censured. ,"

THE Carroleton Mo-, Democrat
Edltorially says: On the Fourth OF
July, 1776, the continental congress
adopted the Declaration OF Independ-
ence, and when the news reached Eng
land In several months, the government
was frantic. On the Fourth OF July,
1906. Ambassador Reid will keep open
house in London and celebrate tna
day as It should be. Thousands OF Eng
lands leading people will call to help
him observe the day ,and perhaps every
member of the English Cabinet Will
call at Dorchester house on that occas
ion This seems like rubbing 1t In on
John Bull;to go into the Capital Of his
country and celebrate the day OF our
dissolution from the mother country,
would seem like shaking a red rag In
the face of the Bull. Time, however,
heals all sores and the English nation
today is no doubt glad that the Fourth
Of July, 1776, gave new nation to the
world Q nation of Eoglish speaking peo-
pie and a nation that wants to help
advance Anglo-Saxon ideas in the
world. The Fourth OF July is observed
in every capital OF the world by Amerl-
cans, and all the people join In to help
celebrate. 1t was great day In the
worlds history, and every recurrence
| Of the day should be one OF thankful
ness; also a day for Thought Men
should give attention TO the problems
| of government and study the best
means for perpetuating the principles
given 10 the world In the peclafa'ioh

THE GAME LAW.
Letter From Representative Burch
in Reference to New Law.

MEXICO, Mo-, June 27th..--Mr.
Editor. Dear Sir: Having received
many inquiries concering the license
feature Of the new game law passed
by the last General Assembly, | sub
NIT the following statement for pub
| lIcation.
! have no explanation to make con-
cerning my connection with the bill,
as | voted against it on its final pass
age. l did SO because / thought the
law too stringent in many respects,
and for the further reason that many
prominent citizens Of the county
asked me to vote against it.
The game warden Of this state is a
very excellent gentleman and l regret
the necessity of taking issue with him
upon the construction of the present
law. According to my information, he
has laid down the ruling that per-
son must have license to hunt any
where in this state, except upon his
own premises. Judging from the
history Of the bill and from its pre-
sent form, do not think the position
OF the Warden is we'll taken.
In its original from the bill requir-
ed every person to take out license.
Then an amendment was offered al
lowing person to hunt on his own
premises without license. This
amendment was adopted. Section "a
Of the bill was then amended allow
ing a person to hunt In the county in
which he resides without taking out
license. Section ga reads a follows:
''It shall be unlawful for any person,
after the passage Of this act, to hunt
In this state oustide of the county in
which he lives without first obtaining
a license permitting him or her to do
so. Such license shall be dated when
issued and shall authorize the person
name therein to hunt during that
year, and then only subject to the re-
gulations and restrictions provided by
law
BY reading the 70 regoing section it
Is evident that license is not requlr-
ed of those who hunt only In the
county in which they reside. Un-
fortunately section 81, upon which the
Warden relies, was not amended and
is now rather obscure In its meaning.
Section 81 reads as follows:l
"Any person who shall hunt In this
stata, without being at the time Of
such hunting in possession Of q
lieens&, as herein provided, duly is
sued t6 him or her, which license siiaii
cover th he period in which he or she shall
be SO hunglng, or who shall furnish to
another person a license issued TO him
or her, shall be fined not less than
$500 nbr more than $4,000 and costs
of prose ecution."
This section is not necessarily In con-
flict with section 54. Section 54 nat
urally takes precedence Iover section
61, as section 81 refers merely to the
penalty of hunting without a license
''as herein provided. The words ''as
herein provIded"evidently qualify and
refer to section 81 which requires a
license only from those who hunt out
side of their own county. AS the right
to hunt in the county In which a per-
Son Iresides is expressly granted in
section 54, and as that right is no
where expressly denied In the new law,
l offer it as my opinion that any per-
son may hunt in the county in which
he resides, without obtaining license.
Respectfully,
WALTER BURcH.

I
ARRANGEMENTS are being made to
remove the iron fence from around the
court house yard in Fulton, and do
away with the hitching racks. The
court house yard will then be made a
park. All Of the citizens Of Galloway
county will favor this move. When
this matter was proposed in Mexico
there we're quite a number who op-
posed it, but all are now pleased with
the result. When Fulton secures lot
close to the public square, to be used
for hitching purposes, the problem
will be solved. Fulton Is prosper
ous, progressive little city, and on bet
ter improvement could be made than
to change the public square from a
feed lot to public park.

Two Commercial Travellers Telephone
Over Country to Find Each Other
Both are in This City.

1t has been the saying for sometime
that Mexico is coming more like New

occurrence will substantiate the above
statement. Two well known travel

go the other at the Windsor, decided
they wanted to talk to each other, so
at different times the last evening
they called up the neighboring towns
over long distance telephone. Both
spent several dollars in the effort to
discover the other but finally gave up
in despair. This morning they met
on the Ringo corner and after the
surprise of the meeting, began to de-
tail their search over 1.-THE Hello-book.
