the umpire will call PLAY ball." the
players will trot out on the diamond
while thousands of frenzied fans yell
themselves hoarse, the first ball will
be sent wnizzing across the plate, and
the battle for the penant s~ignifying
the championship of the South will
be on. Shreveport opens b season
with New Orleans, Little Rock plays
at Memphis, Montgomery at Atlanta.
and Birmingham at Nashville. The
eastern teams will start the first trip
through the cities on the western part
of the circuit on Wednesday,, May 8,
and the western clubs will make h
first invasion of the East on Wednes-
day &c.
There is every prospect that this
seasons race for the rag will be the
prettiest ever seen in Dixie. The
teams are apparently more evenly
matched than they have been for ma
ny years and any attempt to pick the
winner is mere guess work. Charley
Frank has got together a swift flock

to be a cinch that the Crescent City
will have a place in the first division.

although it is difficult to see where
the Cracker-town team has anything
on New Orleans or Birmingham. Mem
Dhis, Shreveport aid Montgomery

son is over. Apparently there isn't
a selling platter or a long shot enter
ed in the race and the dope indicates
a closely contested struggle, with
the ~narrowest kind of a margin be-
tween the leader and the tail ender.
According to schedule, double head
ers will be played on decoration day
and labor day. Memphis, Atlanta, Bir-
mingham and New Orleans get the

Peaks, Cave creek and the foothills
of the Bradshaws 1 would recommend
the 'Busbuck' which is an animal
weighing about fifty pounds, has meat
of an excellent flavor, and the skin
makes the toughest of leather. 1t is
a very beautiful animal, very hardy
and used to protecting itself against
such animals as leopards, wolves, coy
otes, eagles, etc. If the white man
could be induced to give the animal
a chance it would 10 doubt multiply
in a few years so that everybody
could have a piece of most excellent
game"
Major Durham believes that the
-Springbok' would do we'll on the
more open deserts, like about Wicken-
burg and in his valley. Other ami
mails mentioned by him are the Kip
springer or African channels, the
Jenmsbuck," the ''Dickdick," n the
"Duiker." The last named is a hardy
gazelle, which would do well along
the brush of the Salt river.
Major Burnham said he had talked
with Hagenback of Hamburg, the
greatest handler of wild animals. Ha-
genback toll MIN of a big black buck
of India which he thought would do
we'll in the southwest.
Major Burnham, said further: q
certainly hope that you will be able

Of your valley hat would take an in
terest in this matter, and hat before
it is time for Us all to cross the Big
Divide, we may yet see our wild and
solitary deserts peopled with new and
beautiful forms of life. l am sure it
can be done, because nearly every ami
ma that we have was once an import
ed foreigner; the COW, the burro and
the horse were all brought over by the
early Spaniards. Surely the strong
and wild animals of Africa, if brought
over and given a ghost of a chance,
will do equally as we'll in this country.
We know that all our domestic ami
mails will turn wild under least provo
cation and manage to survive, so l
confident that wild animals would
do better even han the tame ones
brought from Europe"

GOVERNOR HAGERMAN'S
EFFORTS APPRECIATED,

Whereas, The Hon. H. j. Hager-
man has been Governor of New Mex
leo for more than a year and has had
time to demonstrate whether or not
he is true to the high principles he
professed when ne took the oath of
office, we, the members of the Hag-
erman Club, of Chaves county, New
animated by an intense desire for bet
ter government, do hereby unanimous
ly resolve that Governor Hagerman
be given our sincere thanks for the
straightforward, honest, businesslike
and courageous course he has pursued
since he became Govrnor; by that he
has met our highest expectations in
every particular.
Also. Resolved that we thank MIN
for turning bad men out of office and
putting in their place men who work
for the public welfare. and that we
hope he will continue the good work.
Also, Resolved that we most hear
tily congratulate Governor Hagerman
and the true men who nobly supported
him for the crushing defeat they
gave the cunni1gly organized attempt
to use the legislative assembly for
purposes of private graft and re-
venge, alike subversive of good gov
eminent and of the interests of the
people at large.
Also. Resolved that we sincerely
thank President Roosevelt for giving
us an honest, capable. courageous
man for a Governor, and that we ex-
press the opinion that he could have
lone nothing better for the true int
erests of New Mexico.
Resolved that a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to Governor H. ]. Ha-
german and President Theodore
Roosevelt. and published in our local
newspaper and the various Territorial
papers. (Signed) The Hagerman
