That Garrison Finish
 Made OF Robertaille

the ninth inning, four of these runs in the fourth spasm, while the Climbers had only three. 1t looked pretty blue when the first half of the ninth opened up. but probably the fastest finish and fercest rally ever known in ball game came right then. In the seventh ara eighth. innings the Climbers had been hitting Robertaille, and if Harry Vaughn had taken him out in the ninth inning the Dubs would probably have won the game to 3-but they didn't. Spike Shannon opened the ninth with clean hit to feft-Ryan went in to htt for Van Anda and struck out. Downey let Persons, hit get through him snd Moose Baxter's hit choked the sacks. Ed Greminger was up next and Rob ertaille, taking no chances for the big fellow to clean the bags. walked him and forced shannon in, making 1t to 4 Perry cracked out a clean hit, Per- sons and Baxter counting. leaving It to 6. Vaughn then sent Rip Reagan in. but 1t was too late. and Noah Hen line drove Greminger in with the tie- ing run. Pope hit safe and Perry scored Henline. making the score now g to T in .avor of Montgomery, SIX runs having come over in that inning: StacKpole worked she last half, ana while the Dubs had the bags full with only one out, he struck out the next batter and let the last man down with an outfield fly. the game ending 70 ! in favor of Montgomery.
 It's a bit hard to figure out 9ust what Utica wants with Robertaflle--but there is no accounting for tastes.

Queer thing. this old stall of certain ball players about not wanting to come South on account of the fear of mala- ria--Eimer Bliss tried the same game last spring until he saw that Jimmy Ryan was simply setting stesdy In the boat &ld that the big pitcher would be suspended unless he came down 70 Montgomery--and he came all right.
 Now this 'youngster." Papafay, who Molesworth secured from the Utica team of the New York State League in exchange for Chic Robertaille. springs the fear of malaria" stunt and says that he won't come South. The Utica people, however, write that they they will probably get him on ,any terms. for Molly and the Birmingnam people are kinder sore on Chic. In 1901 Robertaifle pitched good ball Tor the Columbus team of ths American Association, but in this league iast year he was pretty much of failure; At times he worked pretty well, but in the majority of his games he was not able to go the route. the best ln- stance of this being that famous game that he worked against the Climbers in Birmingham on the 9th Of last May. It was one of the few games that RuDe Van Anda worked for Montgomery he was not pitching such bad ball. but the bum support of the bunch behind him was snaking 1t look fierce.

There has been a noticeable lack of that special brand of weather which is adaptable to sports afield during this winter, and the hunting business has languished. In consequence, the sale of hunters licenses in the Pro- bate Court of Montgomery county has been light. There have been issued, for the year of 1909, 194 State licenses, eighty-two county licenses, and three to non-residents, up to date.
 But 1t is known that many of these licenses have not been put to use. The mildpess of the Indian summer tenf- perature has brought with 1t a lassi- -tude that enters the joint of thAzdogs,

 The question is an important one, so far as Auburn is concerned. The Lou isiana State University was the only team in the South which defeated Au- burnt last season and 1t Is the only team which stands in the way of Au- burn and the Southern championship.
 It has been generally acknowledged that the team of giants which the Au- burn men faced last season were not bonafide students of Louisiana but nothing definite has been done in the way of proving the question.

 and fight he did as seldom dog eyer fought. It was a bloody encounter and the merciIess manner. He fought on. however. until he was blinded and his owner pulled him off.

 The local fans will regret the loss Of Jack Hardy, who is good hard worker. but who was slightly off color last season. Manager Bernhard would not have disposed of him if 1t had not been for the fact that he had already gotten his hands on three top-notchers in the catching line and has his optics skinned for another who he may get If nothing goes wrong.
 Johnny Dobbs, who was out of the game last year. will manage the Chat tanooga boys ih their birthday race for the pennant of the South Atlantic League. and there Is little doubt that Jack Hardy will figure in the running in this bunch.

Sale of Hunters Licenses for
 Year of 1909 Has Been Light

and which dulls the avidity of tht huntsman himself.
 A feature of the sales of hunters licenses is the lack of those taken out by non-residents of the State. Evidently Alabama is not regarded by sportsmen outside of it's boundaries as a happy hunting ground. There were only three secured for the year, the three being taken out by a trio of sportsmen from Ohio, H. K. Deve- reux. the noted horesman. sand TWO companions, John Sherwin and R. F Edwards. The same men took out licenses in 1908 for hunting in Ala bama, making the State the goal of an annual trip South.
