Hinged Perche. and Dropping Board

Leghorns or similar types should b

There are several methods OF NAH

SOUTH CAROLINA
KILLS ITS RACING
Bill Passes Both Branches of
Legislature and Only Needs
Signature of Governor.

CHARLESTON, s. c., February 49,
The race track legislation, which has
been of statewide interest since it's first
Introduction in the legislature, was dis
posed of yesterday when the lower house
concurred in the senate amendments and
ratified its action. The bill now goes
to the governor, who will affix his sig
nature to it, probably tomorrow.
The race track people claim victory
in that they defeated the injunction
clause and secured immunity for this
season. the bill not becoming operative
until July 1. They are hoping for con-
tingencies to arise that will permit them
to operate next year.
The bill. which will become a lazy when
the governor signs it, is almost a copy
of the New York measure, and II the
metropolitan courses can pave a way
this season to conduct meetings with the
law in force, the same means will be
found here.
The ants naturally claim the victory
and contend that this will mark the last
season that racing will be in vogue in
this state
The passing of the bill, according to
the well informed, was due mostly to
compromise tactics, and had not the op-
position acceded to the amendments pro-
posed by the racing supporters no legis-
lation of any sort would have been en-
acted at this session.

in the hope of picking up some easy
money. Burns has perfect right in this
class. for he has a knockout over lin
Flynn to his credit. though the chances
are that Burns has gone back since he
received that beating at the hands OF
Johnson.
About the only rule that needs atten-
ton In the base ball code in the opinion
of majority of the magnates is one
which will make the pitchers slab of uni
form height on all ball grounds, ana to
regulate this it is likely that the men,
bers OF the joint rules committee will
meet some time before the season opens.
1t is an injustice to the pitchers to
have them standing on top Of mound
on one of the grounds and then in a
hollow on another. On the same basis. il
would be impossible for one club to have
short base lines and another of increased
length. The ball fields should all be uni
form so far as the infield Is concerned
and the rules committee should not ne
elect to make this plain before the next
season opens.
|. Bill Cunningham may not make good
this year, but he is sure to get a better
chance to hold his own than was given
him last year. No young player ever
worked under more discouraxing condi-
ton On Labor day. in Philadelphia, for
instance. he drove in three runs with a.
triple in the first inning, struck out the
next time up, but singled ons his third
trip to the plate. In the ninth inning
with a couple of men on bases and a
chance to- tie the score Cunningham was
not allowed to face the pitcher, but a
pinch hitter was sent up, who ended the
inning with an easy out. This sort of
practice Cunny was made a victim of all
season, and it was but natural he should
lose confidence in himself.
1t seems mistake for the big leagues
to give SO much publicity to the fact that
there is gambling on their ball parks
when this evil Is really very slight and
there Is no way to prevent it, because
what betting there is is usually among
spectators sitting together and Is done
without any ostentation. Almost every
time there is a meeting of the
magnates a resolution is passed touching
upon the betting at ball parks, when 1t
would be much better to suppress 1t
quietly without attracting SO much az:
tention to IT.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Every time there is a difference of
opinion on any proposition that is be-
fore the two major leagues the calamity
shouters predict war. The last reasons
for this belief is that the National
League has adopted new national agree
>ment. while the American League has
objected to some of the new clauses and
wants to give it further consideration.
But there will be no war. Men who have
millions invested in base ball and are,
under present conditions, making splen-
did dividend on their investment, are
not going to do anything that will mar
their interests.
A base ball war would mean the loss
of fortunes and nothing is to be gained.
There may be lot of talk and insnua-
tons by the magnateS, but when the
smoke clears away the two major leagues
will be found working In harmony under
an fronclad agreement. Incidentally. the
men Of the major leagues must realize
that they are constantly being threatened
by invasion from new organizations anX-
ious to break into the game, and their
chances would be greatly increased
should the major leagues have real
quarrel among themselves.
1t begins to look as if Cleveland would
be forced to carry George Stovall. though
such move has been considered impos-
sible by the club officials and Manager
Davis. But none of the other clubs seems
willing to give Cleveland what it wants
for Stovall and the player is really forced
on that clubs hands.
Not that Stovall is not a capable player.
and for all that he may prove himself
most valuable to the Maps, but having
been the teams manager, 1t looks like
Davis is taking long chances to have him
around, for should the team get away
poorly a cry for Stovall would go up from
the stands and there would be trouble for
Davis.
