An English judge has decided that it
is the duty of a motorist to get out of
dogs way when the dog is on the
highway. Probably they haven't got as
many NANCY ours in England in pro
portion to population as in Georgia
That is the only reasonable explana-
ton of the judges decision. Reducing
the dog tax is half of the pleasure of
motoring to some drivers in this state

Referring to the 'Billiken-Flat

No compulsory education for Geor-

says he is coming back to Atlanta to

Among the freak bills introduced in
the House, but quietly sidetracked by
the committee to which they were re-
ferred, was one requiring all trains to

BASEBALL SEASON
Is WITH US AGAIN
NATIONAL GAME STARTS 1909
CAMPAIGN WITH PROSPECTS
OF GREAT SUCCESS.
WEAK TEAMS STRENGTHENED
Last Years Second Division Clubs In
Big Leagues Threaten to Unseat
Leaders-New OutfleId for New
York Nationals Worlds Cham
pions Not to Have King and Evers.

The umpire's cry of PLAY ball! u
has resounded throughout the major
league circuits and the baseball sea-
son of 1909 has been started on the
long six months race pennantward.
After many weeks of preparation
and training in the south, the sixteen
clubs composing the National and
American leagues have started their
annual diamond struggle and will fight
1t out to the finish. ~
Rarely has a season opened so aus
piciously for the sport Of baseball.
Weak spots have been strengthened; in
all the teams, and baseball sharps de-
clare at least five teams In each of
the big league must be reckoned as
serious contenders for the champion
ship.
The wedding out of old timber and
the infusion Of new blood in the weak
er teams has increased public interest
in all cities which have heretofore
supported second division clubs.
Radical changes in team compost
ton and managers have increased the
uncertainties of the pennant race. In
the National league baseball fans find
that New York practically has a new
outfield in Murray, O'Harra and Her.
zog, while the pitching staff has been
strengthened.
Chicago will be without the services
Of Catcher King and Second Base
man Evers, in the early part of the
season at least, and this is problem
that Manager Chance must solve be-
fore his team can meet last years
standard /. 81, IL Or
Pittsburg remains practically un-
changed from last years club, which
made game hight, clear to the finish,
while Philadelphia will present the
same formidable array Of players that
last year upset the pennant hopes Of
New York and other contenders. e.
Roger Breshnahan, former. catcher,
Of the New York team Is now at the
helm Of the St.. Louis club, made up q

his club will prove q stumbling block
to many championship aspirants.
= Many changes will be noted in the
American league. Fielder, Jones will
be missed from center field and as.
manager Of the Chicago club. Chicago
will start the season with practically
the same club as last year.
With Moriarity at third the Detroit
club has plugged the hole IN its infeld
and again = has pennant aspirations.
Manager Lajoie of Cleveland has
braced his pitching department by the
acquisition of Cy Young from Boston,
and believes he has a championship
club.
st.. Louis will make the race with
the same team that did SO we'll last
year. Philadelphia, Washington and
Boston have been strengthened. New
York has a new manager, George
Stallings, who has developed team
Of youngsters, and also has a few sea-
soned veterans.
