Montgomery, June 29.-(Speeial.) )- This afternoon, for the first time this season, the Barons defeated the Pret- gels in Montgomery.
 Robertaile was in magnificent shape. and until the Barons had cinched the game, he yielded but two hits-both infield scratches.
 On the other hand, the Barons pounded MT. Juul to every corner of the lot finding his every offering with consummate ease. He was so cruelty chastised that Jimmy Ryan relieved him at the conclusion of the fifth in- ming.
 Robertaille had little personal grievance to avenge this afternoon for, as is remembered, MT. Juul defeated him in Birmingham last week in 2 beautiful ? to o battle.
 The final score of todays game was to ?.
 Although from the beginning to the end of his tenure of office, MT. Juul had nothing with which to deceive the Barons, it required Birmingham sev- eral innings to get it's first run over.
 
 three hits, one of them being for two bags, a base on balls and a stolen base, failed to tally runner.
 Molesworth, first up, doubled, but was caught mapping at second. After Demont had gone out, Raub singled and stole second, to be thrown out d moment later at the plate when Dou- glass cut safely over the keystone.
 And thus the Barons played in hard luck until the coming of the third.
 Molesworth was first up in the third and hit safely to the intield. On Pepe's wild throw to first the manager took second Demont hit to pitcher and his effort to retire Molesworth at third failed. Raub was out from Juul to Guese, but Douglass squeezed" Molesworth home. In the fourth, with two down, Downey singled neatly, and neatly stole second. Holmes, assuming the role of the origi- nal Colonel Pinch, singled to left. Downey registering the second run of the after noons frolc

Montgomery scored in the sixth when three singles were smashed out. Reagans hit was accountable for the first run.
 In the ninth the first three Pretzels stung safely.
 There was danger of another Garrison finish. but after one man had crossed the plate a double play from Demont to Downey to Douglass concluded the game. To the disgust of Pretzel fans Henline starred both in the field and at the stick. The Barons played very snappily. The Pretzels, on the other hand, appeared listless.
 Manager Molesworth is determined to break even in this series and has hopes of winning three games.

 Were we in the race, the local attend ance would be second to no other. day.
 The Barons won both games in which he appeared behind the bat.
 Yesterday Holmes did perfect work. The only man who attempted to steal was slaughtered.
 In addition, the plucky young catcher smashed out an opportune hit that add ed one to the Barons' tally sheet.
 With Molesworth Raub, Meek and Douglass in the game, the Barons have four who will be hitting close around the 300 mark when the season closes
 Raub and Molesworth are already stinging the ball that hard, and Meek and Douglass are coming fast.
 The Barons are leading the league in the matter of stolen bases.
 Yesterday they pilfered whenever they tried
 If Downey got on base as often as others, there is no one in the league who could top him during the season.
 At that, he is one of the leaders in this fine art.

HOW TO PROTECT The FISH.

Various ways have been suggested
and legislation devised for the prOtec-
ton of game and fish in almost every
State in the Union. Our BrOOksVille
contemporary is of the opinion that it
is the fishermen who need protection.
In defense of its position it uses the fol-
lowing arguments:
Efforts should be made to protect our
fishermen as well as our fish. The fish
ing industry is just as legitimate and
proper as the phosphate, turpentine and
sawmill business. 1t is just as honest
and just as worthy TO be fostered as
any other. Fishermen have just as
much right to the peaceful pursuit Of
their calling as men Of any other voca-
ton. The cry against them is that the
fish will be exhausted. So will the soil,
the forests and the phosphate deposits.
II were better 10 make war upon the
enemies of the fish than upon the fish
ermen. Porpoises, sharks and other
buccaneers Of the depths destroy more
fish than all the fishermen Of the world
put together. Destroy the porpoises
and fish would soon become so numer-
Gus as to be drug on the market. Our
fish should be protected, but making
war upon the fish industry is not the
way to do it. Fight their natural enc
mics of the sea.

The shark swallowed this, but still
followed.
The sailors then threw a box OF or

The shark swallowed this and Btill

The men seemed completely beaten
for a moment what to do until one Of
them said that those on board should
draw lots for who had to satisfy the
shark
II fell to an old woman. So the sail
ors tossed her overheard, and the
shark ate her at one bite.
This did not content the 6sh, which
still followed. So the sailors harpoOn-
ed It and dragged It on board.

lists basing their remarks upon the in
activity Of its people. No town is COM
mercially or industrially dead unless it's
citizenship so willsit. And every town,
no matter how discouraging It's environ
ments, is alive and full Of business and
progress if its people are alert to their
own interests.
Tallahassee has sufficient natural adj
vantages to sustain quite a population,
but no matter how great these advan-
vantages they cannot promote and sus-
tain themselves This can only come
about through.the practical unanimity
of its people, Tallahassee's splendid
array Of business and professional men
can so unite themselves as to quadruple
its present population within FIVE years,
and without a dollar Of Individual loss,

Later the Federal government paid
back TO the citizens the money they had
expended on these harbOr improve
ments.
Neither Jacksonville, Tampa or Pen
sacola knew but little Of real prosperity
until the people arose in their might
and by their efforts brought it.
Perhaps the good people of Tallahas-
see, content with its delightful sur
roundings as a place of residence. have
not for one single moment considered
that its natural advantages for city
building are far in excess of either of
the splendid towns mentioned. And
yet this is true, and The True Democrat
will from time to time attempt to 90
show.
But this paper is more essentially IN
terested now in the unanimity and good
will Of Its people. If some Organiza-
ton could cement them together on
public questions these advantageous en-
would become perfectly
clear to them and full of inspiration.
There is much in store for Tallahassee
if the people will get together for the
public good.

A reduction of taxation is always an

Gainesville Sun, expecting reforms
along this line from the incoming adj
ministration, says:
The state administration of the past
four years has been the most expensive
In the history of Florida. Notwithstand-
ing that property valuations have very
much increased, taxes have also been
steadily increased. There is screw

they now labor.
