LAWMAKERS HAVE HORSEMEN ON RUN California Legislature Gets the
 Reform Craze TO BAR FIGHTING, ALS0 Jeffries Will Fight Johnson If Purse Is Large Enough-Stanley ketchell
 Out With Statement of
 Challenge.
TO BAR FIGHTING, ALS9
By JOE MURPHY.

San Francisco February Pity the lot of the racing man, the owner and trainer ard jockey the bookey and the tout the plunger and piker There will soon be no ulace on this grand earth for them. South and west, and in New Orleans they soon encountered the frozen face, the icy nit marble heart and the big stick. Then the coast was their only haven. Now the California legislature has cut the ground from under their feet and the governor of Washington has called upon the legls- lature, now in session at Olympia, 10 make race track gambling, bookmaking and pool selling felonies with penalties that stop short only of burning at the stake or a banishing to Siberia
 Thomas H. Williams, Jr., president or the New California Jockey club, and seV- eral others representing racing interests talked to the members of the California legislature till they were black in the face and their breath was exhausted, but were no more affected than if they had tolked to the wind-tossed waves of the tempestuous Pacific. With the majority of the legislature pledged to support the Walker-Otis anti-racetrack bill, which makes bookmaking felony, and with Governor Gillette outspollen in his decla- ration that he would sign any anti-race- track bill, no matter if it made bookmak- ing a capital crime, what chance did they have?
 The provisions of the Walker-Otis bill are similar to those of the New York race track law, with the one exception that booksellers in California will be al- lowed GO days in which to wind up their affairs As this extension will date from the time at which the governors sigma tlire is penned to the document, the law probably would not become operative un- til after the present meets are over.
 "Where will we go now?' is the ques- ton all the horsemen are asking Some seek to find their answer in Nevada, others in Lower California. while there are some talking of opening the game in British Victoria.
 The anti-racetrack legislation turns the joke on Lucky Baldwin. Last fall Bald

THE I909 ATLANTA SQUAD
 LOOKS STRONG AND ABLE
BY PERCY H. WHITING.

way is Brown Rodgers, bought from Gin cinnati, by which club he was recruited from Wheeling W. Va. He looks like a possibility.
 First base is a toss-up between Dick Rohn of Peoria Ill., and John Bastain of Newberry, N. r Nobody can dope the winner of that pair until they come down and work awhile.
 Jordan will play second base and cap tain the team again. of course.
 Hale shortstop for Kalamazoo last year, looks like the successor of Lou Cas- tro, and Walker last year third base man for Dayton, O., will doubtless sue ceed Bill Dyer. strong candidate for either job is Newton shortstop for Lam caster, Pa, last year.
 Atlanta is again overloaded with out field talent. Last year Bill Smith had more gardeners than he knew what to do with. This year he has duplicated the feat. His three 1908 regulars-Roy Moran, George Winters and Jesse Becker-will be back. In addition he has Jake Hem, the best outfielder of the Virginia league, a .296 batter; and Dick Bayless of Dayton and Cincinnati, who batted .3O6 in the Central league.
 Winters was the hero of the Cracker team until he stove in a shoulder sliding to home plate one day along in mid season. Becker was a reliable player who batted .257 and who played hard If it had not been for violent attacks of asthma he would have been among the leagues best. Roy Moran, the lad who beat Joey Collins, afterward of Little Rock out of a job, didn't bat extra well and is probably one who will be dropped However, he Is an awfully promising youngster
 This team looks good, not because it Is winter and such sayings are popular, but because it does. The Cracker team would have been strong last year ex- cept for two things, injuries and illness for one thing, poor batting for another
 No manager in league where there is player limit can avoid the former trouble. But a foxy manager can get batters, and that thing Bill Smith cer- tainly has done for 1909

 The player situation in Atlanta now be- gins to take some shape and out of the mess of players reserved, drafted and purchased a team begins to loom.
 McMurray and Sugden appear to be most likely to land as catchers. Red Mack did well last year. batting .2eO and fielding with pepper. He is the best catcher for his inches the south ever saw. Atlanta also owns Hub Smith, who does not bat very well, and Wahl, semi-pro. Sugden. the old-timer, appears to be the best of this lot.
 The two pitching certainties are Roy Castleton and Red Fisher. You couldn't keep them off the team with guns. Ex- perts say that this will be Castleton's last year with the minors. Johns, a hard worker and reliable, seems pretty likely to be the third member of the staff For the other position or two take your choice out of this lot: Maxwell, Viebahn, Rada- baugh, of last years team; and these new ones: Doran, Pressy, Hannifan, Griffin and Rodgers.

One Bad Inning by Amateur spoils
Chance of Locals to Take Satur-
day DoubIe-Header from

COAST LEAGUE STANDING
FIRST GAME
Sacramento 6, Los Angeles 3.
SECOND GANIE
Los AngtIts 8, sHCTHWtHIU .

Los Angeles and Sacramento divided
the Saturday double-header, the first
game going to the Senators and the
second to the locals. Captain Dillon
sent Delhi, a youngster fresh from
the amateur ranks, into the box in
the first session, and the busher was
given a ready trimming by the wait
ing visitors. Big Ehman opposed him,
and between them they allowed a to-
tai of twenty-three hits, Ehman hav-
ing one the better of the argument.
In all but one inning Delhi was good,
and had he not eased up in the sixth
the Angels would have made it two
straight for the afternoon. AS it was,
they gave the Riversiders stiff bat
tie and the game was not over until
the last man was out. Five hits
scored five runs for the Senators in
the sixth giving them a two run lead
The Angels grabbed one in the eighth,
but Ehman squeezed them down to
nothing in the final inning. Captain
Dillon made his first appearance of
many a day on the diamond when he
batted for Delhi in the ninth. The
old leader was given a royal reception
by the bleacherites.
In the second game Ike Butler
pitched himself into a victory for six
innings and then retired in favor Of
Koestner when he became sick in the
box. Los Angeles pounded Fitzgerald
and Brown stiffly, scoring all their
runs in the first two innings. Fttz
lasted until the fifth, when he was
removed for objecting to the decisions
of the umpire. Fred Brown held the
Angels safe thereafter but his mates
could not bat themselves to victory.
The tabuated score:
