IN POLICE COURT

Whether honesty is the best policy. or not Is question that Is giving Emma Johnson, negro woman from the country, much thought. Emma was ac- cused in police court Monday evening of selling whiskey. Was found guilty and tined $50.
 Ed Lewis. alias Tracy a negro, was also under similar accusation, but was dismissed Policeman Roberts made the arrest and D. W. Perdue. an erst- while street car employe, was the wit ness. Perdue said he bought the whis- key from Emma, Emma said Ed had given her the whiskey to sell to Per- due and all she did was to hand the man the bottle and give the money to Ed.
 Ed denied having had anything to do with it and placed all the blame on the woman. Under the circumstances there was nothing for the court to do but let the man go and fine the woman.
 It is understood that a petition will be presented to Mayor Teague ask ing him to pardon the woman because she Is evidently an Ignorant person and claims to have been used as dupe by the man. She sobbed and cried bitter ly when the fine was imposed, but hav- ing very frankly admitted her partici- patton in the transaetion, and the man having denied connection with It. 1t was up to the law, and she was soaked.

If George Edward Waddell was only on the stage. what a fortune some en= terprising manager would have in him. The big southpaw has no use for a press agent for he attends most care fully to all of that himself.
 Baseball fans in Montgomery laugh yet when they talk of the time that Connie Mack trained here with his Ath- letics. The big pitcher waSthe whole show of the outfit and there wasn't a dull moment when he was around. One of the most striking characteristics of the "Rube" is a chronic state of Fall in Montgomery one day and the pretty fast pace that he had been travelling had put his pocketbook all to the bad,
 Something had to be done and "Rube" started some lively thinking-the result of his brainwork came very soon. About midnight a couple of the local patrol men on one of the beats in the out skirts came down to the police station ugging between them George Edward. {.

 Driscoll was born Tn Wales. and all the exception of 1904, when he won over George Moore and Boss Ed wards, scoring 8 knockout with Jack Roberts in London In 1905 and win 1906. In 1907 he knocked out Bow ker in London in seventeen rounds and the same year knocked out Jack Rob- erts in London in seven rounds. his rounds Tn New York last November b1 no decision. He went six rounds with George Dixon in Wales in 1903.
 hayeS is % hoy tbs sna soato s best tonight IS the fact that last May he went twelve roupds with Matty Bald- win In Boston, while Driscoll only went six rounds with the same man in
 Tomorrow. night a couple of sood fights have been framed up. one in New York and the other in Pittsburg. New York. cross's % real nan name is pr. Louis c. Wallach. Last year he won only four fights. knocking Joe BerB- stein out in four rounds in New York. knocking out Frankie Madden in five rounds In New York. and making Bat- tling Hurley. take the count in one round, getting the decision over Mike Glover in fopr rounds His best and rounds in october with Packy McFar- land to e draw.
 The other light tonight is the one Tn Pittsburg' between Tony Ross and Marvin Hart. and 1t should be a hum- mer from the tan of the gong. Last January in New Orleans Ross went ten rounds to: a draw with Mike Streak and later on up in New Castle. Pa, he got the decision oyer Streak in nine rounds. If Ross holds his own negro, Jack Johnson, in San Francis CO.,. in March 1905. and knocked out Jack Root In twelve rounds In Reno. New, in July. of the same year. he can for the Johnson fight.

7hrow Heads And Tails And See
 What Rube WaddeN WiH do Next

Without moving a muscle of his face. Connie arranged with the police people to let Waddel1 go and when he and the pitcher had reached the hotel, Waddell heard something that he remembered -- until next morning. But Connie didn't fah for the $40.
 A night or so after that there was 6 fire up near the Capitol and the first man>~on the scene was George Edward Waddell, who, when a small ladder was placed against the frame house, pushed one of the local fire fighters out of the way and mounted 1t himself.
 His career down in Mobide last wln- ter will never be forgotten by the pe0- pie of the Gulf City. At different times in Mobile. the "Rube" was going to jump the big leagues make his home in Mobile and manage and pitch for the Mobile team Then another time in Mo. bile he spread it broadcast that he was going to organize, an outlaw league that would put the Southern, as well as the big leagues, out of business.
 During the past winter Waddell has been doing things to football, and his latest advertising dodge now Is to chaperon Percy 'Smallwood. the Welch foot runner. It iS satd that he has in- woman and boy that he knows--and some that he don't know-in St Louis. He has constituted himself Smailwoods manager, watching the runner in his fiye-mile walks every morning and In a buggy going with Smallwood on the hfteen-mile runs of the latter every day, This is one ahead of Bugs" Ray mond. the former freak pitcher of At. lanta, that McGraw Is burdened with.

BOOKMAKERS CONVICTED
 BY NEW ORLEANS COURT


 New Orleans, La, Jan. IS. .--Placide Frigerio and R. NJ. Shefield. charged with operating a betting book in vio.. guilty this afternoon in the criminal division of the City Court
 Convicuon necessarily entails jail sentence of not less than six months. The case will be appealed to the State Supreme Court.
 The charges against Frigerio and Shenield grew out of the recent test of the Locke law at the City Park race
 Ed Corrigan, one of the principal owners of the City Park track. and for a quarter of a century conspic- uous figure on she American turf, was one of the principal witnesses at the trial today. Corrigan has been cbarg- ed with aiding and abetting the rum ming of the alleged book at the one race meet, which served as the test. He will probably not be tried until the cases of the alleged bookmakers have been settled.

DETROIT TIGERS ARE THE MOST
 OFFENDED.
Much to be Said on Both Sides of Fr0pOsitiOn In Any Cnub-Eneet,l
 Is Often BeneAeial.

The virtual agreement of the Nat ional Commission to Presidet Murpnys request that he be permitted to hand out a wad of $10,000 to his three-time pennant winning Cubs has not caused any kick in the big leagues except from the Detroit Tigers.
 This plan of offering bonus to ball club Is in some respects%a good ming but the gtneFRl result ts bad--it nas a tendency to make Q ball player dis satisfied If he gets the bonus one wear he will expect it the next season, and if the bunch of coin is not forth coming the next year he gets a grouch.
 Montgomery has had some experi- ence in this line. In 1905 the Mont gomery traction Company who owned the local South ern league franchise at that time offered the local team bonus of $1,O0O to finish one, two. o.three. The record of the southern league was established by Ike Durett's squad that year when they made that wonderful finish winning something like twenty six out of the last thirty-two games played.
 They eopped the coin all right.
 Since then while local teams have put up pretty fair ball every year none of them have fallen over each other in the try to get to the top in Sep tember. When the Atlanta team won the pennant a few years ago they had been promised a bonus. and the Atlan- ta Association gave them every simo- leon. Last year while bonus had not been promised the Nashville bunch still the bugs of the Tennessee burg In the wild enthusiasm caused by that run for dying out and the subscription put. their John Hancock's to figures

Their contracts and servations must be filed with the secretary as formerly, and they must subscribe to all rules and regulations made by the Board and pay their pro rata share of maintaining the organization as heretofore. The South ern League remains exctly where 1t was before, and the spirit of friendllness by the National Board and the Nation al Commission was a matter Of gratif> cation to the President Of the Southern League.

 But the chances are that racing horses on the ice will prove a serious handicap in their work on the regular tracks in the Summer and Fall Fortunately we don't have any ice to race horses on down here in Dixie. and out at Vandiver Park horses can be worked twelve months in the year-and the showing made by horses on the South ern and even Grand Circuits that have been trained at Montgomery proves the advan- tages ofNthis climate.
 The coming year promises to be a big one in the harness horse line. but the event of the year that horsemen are Hooking for ward to and hoping for will be a match race between the two grand pacers in the Saw age stable-Dan Patch and Minor Heir. That such a race would be one worth going long ways to see is shown by the follow ing records of the two speed merchants.

Over at local baseball headquarters is the following letter that Judge Kay- anaugh has sent to the Southern League clubs after his return from the meeting of the National Commission In Cincinnati:
 Members of the Southern Association of
 Baseball Clubs:

The newspaper reports which have been sent out have given an erroneous imDression of what was done at the meeting: In order that the members the exact status of affairs. beg to state that the following will give the net results of the -meeting::

They were given the right to draft one man from the Class A leagues at the same price paid by the major leagues. provided that the
 
 players from Class A leagues or clubs. In other words, no Class A club can lose more than one player to both majors and special class. and for these play CTS they receive 1000 each.

 If those bonus stunts are to bt per- manent it looks like only the right for the Association to make the offer and dig up the coin, for after all they are the people that get the big bene- fits from classy ball playing. If team Is fighting all summer around in the first division of ones two, three. good hard coin will pour Into the box office all during the season and along in the flank of September if the team has good fighting chance extra seat ing room will have to be put in grand stand and bleachers. Of course in a way the fans come in for some of the benefits from this fast ball playing. Financially though it is to the interest of the local Association to give the | fans inducements that will put them in the lot every afternoon.

 right to give his Cubs s1O,00O as the
 Ntw York people did to hand that
 block of money to the Giants Murphy
 also nails the reports that Frank | Chance was holding out on account
 of the bonus not being given. On the
 day of the last memorable game with | the Giants at the Polo grounds he
 says that he and the big first baseman
 of the Cubs arranged the details and

Up East a big noise is being made over the performance of the Eel, the gray pacer by Gamboiier- Belle, who paced a mile on the ice at Toronto. Canada, few days ago in 2:14 flat.
 The Eel Is pretty fast but some Mont gomery horsemen who were in Lexington last October saw Jerry B. and Minor Heir trim in the S3.OO0 Tennessee pacing stakes. Minor Heir took the first two heats in 2:02M, 2.09, the Eel taking the third in 2:os, Jerry B, taking the last three heats in 2:eeM, 2:O6N. 2:o7A.

 But still. 1t was not out of place. as there has been little excessive chill at which to grumble during this al- legged winter.
