NO BETS IN DISTRICT
SENATE PASSES BILL AIMED AT
 BENNING TRACK.
Prohibits Wagers on Contests of All Kinds and Provides Heavy Pen. aIty-Has Passed the
 House.


 Washington. April 15.-Without dis cussion. dissent or division, the Senate today within twenty-four hours after the winding up of the spring race meeting at Benning. passed the bill prohibiting betting in the District of Columbia.
 The bill was called up by Senator Carter of the District Committee and after being read was immediately put on It's passage.
 The anti-gambling provision is a rider on a bill providing for the wid- enfng of Beuning Road. the principal at the suburb of Benning.
 The bill originated in the House and has passed that body so that 1t would not be necessary to send 1t back there, but for the fact that the form of the betting section was changed by the Senate. If the House does not accept the change 1t will be necessary to place the bill in the hands of a con- ference committee for the adjustment difference in the phraseology. As it passed the Senate the gambling pro- hibition reads:
 Tt shall be unlawful for any person or association of persons to bet. gam ble or make books or pools on the re- suit of an ytrotting or running race of horses. or boat race. or race of any test of any kind, or game of baseball. Any person or association of persons violating the provisions of the section shall be fined not exceeding $500. or be imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both. I"

It was the same jaunty look ing figure that took It's place in the batter's box however-the same famii- lar old Fred Houtz. and between the yells and screeches of the Birmingham contingent and the thunder of welcome from the Montgomery fans Lefty" re- ceived an Innovation that warmed his heart-and that organ has never been in the wrong place since his advent in- to the circles of Montgomery fandom.
 But the Houtz triumph was short lived-out fin the center of the diamond was we'll built, pleasant faced man that in a marvelously short space of heads off--while by the same toke en the eyes of the Bhanites were growing bigger and bigger, a hurt, bruised ex- pression dfmming all the Iris of those Birmingham people who came down to Montgomery so full of hope-nothing else for Birmingham is dry. Thomas was on the hill for the Climbers in the opening game. and as the first ball tn at he turned loose hurtled over the pan and struck the init of Spike shannon hitting a brick wall the local fans started and then as Umpire Brown flung out his right arm there was a yell so spontaneous in it's suddenness this catipult-like ball hurtled over the plates-and twice did Mir.

The dazzling speed had him buff faloed though and he could just as easily have hit one of the flashes of lightning that from time to time dart

 Then another old Montgomery favo- rite walked S1p to try his hand at hitting eft-hander--the popular Carl ton Molesworth.

 Then came "Buttermilk" Henry Meek. tlH big first sacker of the Bar ons and one of the heaviest hitters in the South. The big fellow though was just as helpless as Houtz had been and when he struck out of first half was over without a hit having been made off Thomas while he had struck struck out two of them.
 Then came the last half with Noah Henline to prize open the batting list and She manner in which he did 1t had the local fans going. One of the first of the species of the spit ball that the small MT. Robertaille shot over the plate met the stick of the

 BRIGHT SPORTING WRITERS
Roberts and MuIIin Saw the Wntery
 Finish.

Hugh W. Roberts and Atticus Mullin, pennant chalmers and dope" experts, came down with the Birmingham team and will stay to see the finish.
 MT. Roberts has a Statewide repu- tation as the sporting editor of The Birmingham Age Herald
 He Is a graduate of the University of Alabama and perhaps no man out side has done more to popularize sports at the University than he. He is wide ly known around the circuit as Class A dope writer. He runs one of the most attractive pages about the circuit
 Mir. Mullin is sporting editor of The Ledger and Is one of the frankest writ CTS in the South. He carries a knock or a boost in either hand and dishes them out imparclally. In claiming pen nants. however, he has a batting aver age of 1855. Mir. Mullin dabbles in Bir- mingham politics and is Chairman of the City Democratic Committee.

Jimmy Ryan deserved this tribute from the fans of Montgomery-and proud and happy man was that same big-hearted' Irishman when he heard the roar that ~swept up from every nook and corner of the grounds as the Climbers started out to the field on a run for the commencement of the first spa sm of the battle.

The chances were a thousand to one that Henline would have beat the throw to first even if any of the Birm- ingham infield had knocked down the ball, for it Is possible that he is the fastest man in this league in getting down to first. Then the Moose came up-Baxter, the Magnificent, and what he did made thousands of people in Birmingham heartsick and made thou sands of people in Montgomery and towns in this section joyous.

the Southern League has the interest in baseball been so high in this city. Over 800 persons wentl to New Orleans on the Louisville and Nashville special this morning and 1t Is estimated that at least 700 were drawn to the Crescent City by an irresistible desire to see the Pelicans measure strength with our own Fish ermen.
 Those who could not go may as well have done so. for they were unable to work, for worrying over the gloomy prospect for the game being pulled off.
 With sinking hearts they have watched the clouds hanging over the city, and not one of them but phoned the weather bureau at some time du- ring the day to learn if It were rain ing in New Orleans.

The scubourd Reccivership.

The first cold potato that the. year
1905 gives to the business world Is tne
Scaboard rcceivership. The pessimist,
who feels a miserable JOY In gloomy
apprehensions, has an opportunity TO
say that the first fruit has been har-
vested of a crop that is to be abundant
in volume. Yet little examination of
the facts as to the Seaboard tends TO
remove these fears. The failure is the
result Of special conditions rather than
of general causes The trouble with
the railroad is not that it has carried!
too little freight. but, as result or
successive congratulations, has carried
too heavy fixed charges. It seems
another case of Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton and Pere Marquette.
The Seaboard Air Line. the smallest
of the three important railway systems
that dominate the Southe asst, has long
been distinguished among American
railways for fairness Of its capltallza-
tion and the comparative leanness OF
its earnings.
Counting in the preferred and COM
mon stocks outstanding to the amount
OF sG2000.0 900. the total CAPT lalizat Il or Is
nearly $4,000 per mile. against SIS,
403 for the Atlantic Coast Line. S396Sl
for the Louisville and NASHVILLE, and
$49.223 for the Southern Railway.
The gross earnings of the Seaboard
| for 1907 were approximately but $5.S0(
per mile, against $1,000 by the Atlanti,
