TEXAS To BAR
FIGHT PICTURES

Austin, Tex, July 19.-Governor
Campbell today submitted to the State
Legislature, which convened In spe.
cial session, a recommendation for a
law prohibiting moving picture exhi.
bitions OF the Johnson-Jeffries fight
1t is probable that the measure will
seek to debar the exhibition OF all
kinds of pugilistic encounters.
The Governor says the display OF
the fight pictures would excite race
feeling and probably result in distur-
Dances.
The special session begins its work
only four days before the Democratic
Saturday throughout the State, as the
elimination of spirited and bitter
campaign.
The specific purpose Of the special
session as named in the call is to re-
peal the fire insurance rating board
law. 1t is charged by anti-prohibition
leaders that the Governors real OBJ
ject is to forestall the possible election
OF o. b. Colquitt, the candidate of the
anti-prohibition faction for Governor
by raising and bringing about the en-
actment Of restrictive legislation that
will practically put the saloons out
of business in Texas.

GIANTS MANAGER
FOR NINE YEARS

New York, July 19.--"yawn" ]. Nc
Graw, the world-famous manager OF
the New York Giants of the National
League. today enters upon his ninth
year in that capacity.
John J. took charge OF the local
National Leagues on July 10, 1902.
and since then they have won two
pennants and finished second three
times. Under his direction they have
played 1,120 championship battles that
have been fought to a finish, winning
6SS. of. these events and losing 432
Their average OF victories has been
GA, which is a crack-a-jack record.
When McGraw came here eight
years ago the New York club was a
Joke and was travelling at a ..21s clip
having a blanket mortgage on the sub
way championship OF the National
League. Things improved somewhat
after July 10, 1902. wben he assumed
| command of the Giants. and he got the
team speeded up so that 1t won .397 OF
it's games. However, he couldn't avoid
the eighth peg.
The next year, 1908. McGraw did
wonders with the locals, who finish cd
second. In 1904. under his direction,
the Giants won the National League
pennant, and in 1905 they again came
under the wire first, annexing the
laurels OF the worlds championship
series in easy style In 1906 the
Giants were second, their position in
1907 was fourth, and in 1908 they were
just nosed out OF tho championship,
and last year they finished third.

very prominent lawyers, and have
been advised that there is an excellent

says In effect that the board OF affair:
shall exercise this power, and in the
following paragraph that the county
court shall not grant licenses to sa
looms to be established within two
miles of the city limits without the
consent of the board of affairs.
There is another Interpretation
however, which would give the county
court the power to refuse to grant
licenses even in case they had been
granted by the board OF affairs. Two
opinions obtain and as long as there
is this difference the liquor men have
