Athletics Victorious,

Montgomery. March 17.-(Special 1.-The Philadelphia Americans opened the base bali season in Montgomery today by winning from the locals by score of 4 to 2. Each side used three pitchers. The feature of the game was the home run of Nichols, the ball going to the farthest point in left field.
 The game was without incident. Connie Mack used Peterson the Racine college pitcher, and he did not show up so well.
 Catcher Powers. one of Mack's stand bys, will leave in the morning for Phil adelphia, where he goes to have an op- eration performed upon his ear, which was in some way injured while in ba th- ing in New Orleans.

Little Rock. March Especial. )--Lit- tle Rock was shut out this afternoon by the Boston Americans in the first exhioi- ton game of the season.
 Score, 6 to 0.

Tommy Burns Knocks Out ihB lrishnan in Ont Short
 Round WILL FIGHT ANYBODY
 IF MONEY IS IN SIGHT Richard croker, Tammany Leader, Is at the Rineside and Aided In Civ ing the Big Purse for the Fight,
 Which Was a Farce.

Dublin, March 17.-Tommy Burns, the American heavy weight champion, made short work of Jem Roche the Irish cham pon, In their contest this evening at the Theatre Royal for the world heavy weight championship. Practically only one blow was struck, Burns knocking Roche out when hardly more than minute of the first round had been completed by short hook to the jaw. So quickly did the end come that the great crowd which filled the theatre in the expectation of seeing the Irishman put up a good fight for the title, hardly realized what had happened
 When the men entered the ring it was evident that sluggish Roche was no match for the more active Burns.
 They spared for less than a minute, the Irishman acting altogether on the de- fensve and the American endeavoring to find an opening. Then Burns felnted and quickly put a short sharp right to the jaw and Roche went down. He was badly dazed and although he struggled to re- gain his feet, was unable to do so before the fatal ten was counted.
 Immediately after the count Roche got to his feet, but staggered about the stage. When he had recovered himself he went ever smilngly to congratulate the win ner. He had met a better man.
 Richard Croker's Fight.
 The fight tonight was for a purse of $75O0 which was put up by a syndicate. of which Richard Croker, the American Tammany leader, was a member, and Q. side bet of $25OO. In addition, Burns had S70O0 on 4limself at odds of to 1. The ringside betting was to on the Ameri- can.

BURGLARS BUSY ::
 IN TOWN YESTERDAY
SEVERAL HOUSES ENTERED AND VARIOUS ARTICLES OF VALUE TAKEN-PETTY THIEVES ARE THE CHIEF OFFENDERS.

Burglars and petty thieves are working overtime in certain residence sections or Birmingham. Eight burglaries were re- ported to the police yesterday and tnefts of flowers, bicycles and various other articles were numerous.
 The home of Mrs. A. w. Brown On Twenty-fourth street and Eighth avenue, north, was entered yesterday afternoon while Mrs. Brown was away and besides about $50 in money. gold locket an opal ring, chip diamond ring, a brooch and a pair of gold cuff buttons were taken
 Frank Torpen of 903 South Fifteenth street was the victim of burglars, who got away with a revolver, a watch and S33 in money. His home was entered yes- terday afternoon while no one was there. ? When Melton Smith of 1906 Tenth ave- nue, south, returned home last night about 10:3O o'clock he found that some one had been in the house. Mr. Smith missed his dress suit and a revolver immediate ly. but the extent of the burglars work could not be ascertaned without care full examination of the household effects.
 The home of Otto Cholk, Fifteenth avenue between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, was purBidiAeo yeS.eiuoy oieoi noon, but, the thief was frightened away and only succeeded in getting a revol- yer.
 In the rooming houses about the town burglars frequently slip in the rooms while the occupants are out.

duties of these officers in the enforce ment of such acts,
 Nothing can be done until there Is a violation. Any arresting officer would have the right to make an arrest with out a warrant if he saw the violation. Otherwise he would have to have war rant sworn out by someone who did see the offense before arrests could be made. This being the case it is very likely that nothing will be done until after the game is played on Sunday following which the Law and Order league will have war rants sworn out and arrests made and will undertake to see that the offenders are adequately punished.
 The impression Is that the game will be allowed to run through in order to get a complete violation. If arrests were made before the game was finished it is thought that techncalities would be pre- scented which could be utilized to prolong the litigation and give time to play as long as the law is being tested. After the game, the outlook is, there will be wholesale arrests Of all the players. this being regarded as the best way to get quickly at the matter of enforcement of the act, if 1t is to be enforced.

Montgomery, March H-(Special.)-"Yo may say that we will exert every known means to prevent violation of the law preventing baseball on Sunday. Every of ficer of the law will be called upon to do his duty in the matter of executing the statutes of the state with regard to this proposed violation. I have consulted at torneys and they tell me that the act against playing ball on Sunday is good and can be enforced if the officers do their full duty"
 This in effect is the statement made this morning by G. c. Miles, president of the Montgomery Law and Order league, which organization has taken over the duty of seeing to the enforce ment of the law against playing the great national game in this city on the Sabbath. After going into the law, MT. Miles said that it was no doubt constitutional and could be enforced and would be, if there is any virtue in arousing public senti- ment He said he intended to have con- ference with Sheriff Hood and Solicitor Dent with a view of ascertaining the

 shortly before had cheered Roche to the.

 W ent quietly out of the theatre.
 Burns said of the fight that it was the
 easiest he had ever had. He went in, he
 added, to make it as short IS possible, as
 he had too much money at stake at long
 odds to take any chances.
 He had expected, however, that the
 fight would go few rounds, although
 he was never in doubt as to the final
 result.
 Burns stated that he was willing to give Roche another chance if sufficient inducements were forthcoming He is now considering an offer provisionally
 made by the Dublin syndicate for a match
 with "Bill'' Squires under the same terms
 as that with Roche Remarkable Scene. The scene in the theatre was a re-
 markable one. There were seats for 5000 and every one was occupied. IL
 was a most enthusia stic crowd and Roche received great reception when
 he entered, smiling, and with confident air. The orchestra struck up "The Boys of Wexford the spectators join ing in the chorur. Burns , who had been watching the preliminary bouts, strolled casually to the ring to the air of The Star Spangled Banner" de was also welcomed, but the reception of the fgh ters was insignificant as compared with that given Richard Croker, wh en the master of ceremonies announced that 1t was largely through of ha V leader that Roche was able to enter the contest. MT. Croker, who was in a box at the ringside, had to ac- Knowledge the tremendous cheering that greeted him.
 The two heavyweights came to the ring in their street clothes and a quarter of an hour was occupied m making preparations for the fight. On the stroke of the gong. Burns jumped to the center of the ring, which was an 1S-foot affair, and started his usual tactics of trying to draw out his op- ponent. This seemed to annoy Roche, who angrily strack down Burns arri and then covered his face with both gloves to protect 1t from a threatened blow.
 The Decisive Blow. Burns, however, was looking for S better chance, and a moment later he feinted with his left and shot ms

 tators, even those on the stage were
 quick enough to see how it was done and there were cries of flake"
 There was no doubt. however, that Roche went in to do his best, but he was outclasse and altogether too slow for a man of Burns quickness and ring craft Roche said tonight, after he had somewhat got over the sud- denness of his defeat:
 "He did it too quick, that's all" Burns when questioned whether ne would meet Roche or Squires again, replied:
 'I will fight any one, if there IS enough money in sight"
