Opposes Passage of Game Law

SAVANNAH, Ca, July S.-Ward Allen
wants his friends from the city of Savan-
nah to rally to his aid in Atlanta to pre-
vent the passage of the Davis game law.
Mr.. Allen is still in Atlanta, where he
went to appear before the legislative
committee. but he has written home that
he fears the bill will pass both the house
and senate. If it does so, he thinks Gov
ernor Brown should veto it.
Mr.. Allen, who hunts for a living, de-
clares it will be outrageous to pass a
measure like the Davis law. He init
mates that it will break up his business.
With the legislature about to pass bill
to stop prize fighting in the state and one
to stop shooting of game birds, it would
appear as If Savannah and Chatham
county were the special targets fore the
law makers.

sidy, the man who was found to be in
sane yesterday after a jury had exam
ined about twenty witnesses and given his
case careful consideration, will be carried
to the State Asylum for the Insane in a

tent to go. His hallucination seems to be
that somebody is trying to shoot hydfo-
phobia into him all the time. The men
who are in jail charged with having
robbed Cassidy recently, gave testimony
yesterday before the jury as to his mental
condition.
Cassidy's mother tried very hard to
prove that he was sane, but failed in her
efforts.

HOPEFUL VIEW IN
 COTTON STATES

Jackson, Miss, March 17.-(Specfa1.)- Meridian, Monroe, Algiers, Alexandria, Columbus and Jackson, the six towns comprising the Cotton States league, have been given until next Saturday to deposit their guarantee of s595, and those that do not "come across by that time are forever barred A certified check for the above sum was received by President Merrill today from Monroe, and informa- tion came that Meridian woul6 fork over tomorrow. Nothing has been heard from the other towns, but it is not doubted here that all of them will be on hand with the goods in plenty of time
 The prospect seems good here and local fans have taken on new life since the league was reorganized. Jackson had be- gun to fear that there was to be no ball this summer and looked forward to the long dull summer days with great con- cern and no little fear of their inability to survive the test.

Jim Jeffries, while the iron is hot, is striking some herculean blows in the way of advertising himself
 He has his press agent grinding over time, and manuscript after manuscript is being circulated to the newspapers of the country. And Jim is not stopping at this. In a letter to the sporting editor of The Age-Herald which accompanies a deck of cards, the great champion writes:
 If you like the cards, say so in your paper Anything that you do for us will be appreciated. A boost hurts no one. the man who gives nor the man who re- ceves, and a knock often hurts both. "
 The cards sent by husky Jim, who is if anyone is, a great son of swat, are well worth a little boost. They are of fine card board, and on the rear of each Jim himself smiles at you. On the face of each is the photograph of some well known fighter, or some fighting scene.
 Jim has a great boost coming to him, and that boost will be delivered when he challenges the 'dinge." and lays him low It is really up to Jim to accom- modate the American people in this re- spect and if we do not miss our guess. he will not withhold his heavy hand.
 But all these questions about Jeff fight ing Johnson are unnecessary. Jeff has issued sensible statement, and he will probably live up to it's implied agree ment.
 Il will fight Johnson if 1 get into that ' condition which leads me to believe that I can beat him. any other man. The 1 insnuation that 1 am afraid of Johnson | is mere tommyrot. I will fight him when I think I can lick him. and will not fight | him. it matters not the size of the purse. 1 unless I do have that feeling of supreme | confidence"
 That's all there's to it. Jeffries some years ago could have beaten the dinge as
