WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.

ANNACoSTIA, d. c.. AUGUST 81.
Because of the fact that tomorrow the
open season for the hunting of reed and
black birds begins, District huntsmen
have been scanning the marshes along
the Eastern Branch, to ascertain the
quantity that have put in appearance
SO far this season. The fact that the
regulations Of the Department Of Agri-
culture made no change in the reed
bird season makes it possible for hunts
men. who enjoy this sport to take ad-
vantage OF the holiday tomorrow. They
may be hunted from September l to
October 81, inclusive.
Men who have hunted on this river
for years predict that there will be
plentiful supply of both reed and black
birds, the latter having put in an ap-
pearance in large numbers during the
past two weeks. The crop of wild oats
in these marshes is also said to be more
abundant this year than before, and
this will attract more birds to the
marshes. There has been a large in
crease in the marsh section In the Twin
ing City and Benning districts, and
this accounts largely for the increase
of the wild oats upon which these birds
feed.
The police of the Eleventh police pre-
cfnct, In Anacostia, have been instruct
ed by Capt William T. Anderson to
keep a close watch on the gunners, to
see that the regulations governing the
distances one must be from bridge or
dwelling before shooting are enforced.
One regulation which has been made
public by the Department Of AgricuI-
ture concerning the protection of game
birds is to the effect that a daily closed
season on all migratory game birds shall
be observed, and shall extend from
sunset to sunrise. This will prohibit
the shooting of birds between those
hours, a sport which has been enjoyed
in former years.

ROUND ROBIN SERIES
BETWEEN LEAGUES
WILL BE PLAYED,

Chicago, November 8.-Teams of the
American association and the Interna-
tional league will play round robin
series next summer and fall If the off,
cials of the latter organization agree to
plan already indorsed by the club own
ers of the assocition. This was an
nounced by President Chivington of the
association today. Concluding negotia-
tions between the leagues are expected
to follow a general discussion of the
proposal by the magnates of each cir
cult who will attend the minor league
convention at Columbus next week.
If the associations challenge Is accept
ed, President Chivington's circuit will
claim the honors due pioneer, for though
the idea of general inter-1eague ser es
was first broached some time ago and
credited to August Hermann, chairman
of the national commission, the associa-
ton has made the first definite move
toward carrying out the plan.
Details of the tournament have been
worked out only in part. 1t is proposed
to stop the regular campaign early enough
in August to permit time for each team
to play 42 games with teams of the rival
and three with each on it's home grounds.
The pennant winner In each league
would be the team leading when the reg
ular season ended in August and special
honors would be given the club making
the best showing In the inter-league
series.

TROUBLES BEGIN

Chattanooga, November S.-(special.)
Although he has encountered difficulty
in but one locality, President Andrews of
the local club nevertheless anticipates
considerable trouble in bringing his 1914
Lookouts into the fold. With several
high priced men. such as Street, Coyle,
johnson and Balenti, to be provided for
In the $500 limit, difficulty is almost GER
tain to be experienced.
1t is almost a certainty that trouble
will be experienced with Mickey Coyle,
as the pinch-hitting first sacker is think
ing seriously of quitting the game. That
is his intention was such last fall. 1t
is believed, however, he will eventually
come into the fold.

TWO NEW PLAYERS
Morely and Hedgepeth Sc
cured From Senators for
Next Season

Washington. November s.--Manager
Clark Griffith has already started to
WELD the pruning knife and announced
yesterday that he has sold Infielder Bill
Morley and Pitcher Doc Hedgepeth to
the Atlanta club of the Southern league.
In discussing the sale of Morley and
Hedgepeth. Manager Griffith said: II be-
lieye that Hedgepeth has. the malings
of a major league twirler know he
was a lot better than he showed me this
fall, because at that time he was in
poor physical shape, but l have plenty
of young pitchers on my staff and can
afford to part with one of them.
LAS for Morley, think that one more
season in fast league like the South
ern. will improve him 35 per cent, and l
have already under contract a more ex-
perienced infieider In wally Smith whom
purchased from the club to which /
am sending Morley" 7e "
AS a matter of fact. the Washington
club and the Atlanta team have a work.
ing agreement. Griff can pull back
either Morley or Hedgepeth when the
1914 season closes, and in addition has
first choice on any other good bali player
the Crackers may develop.
Hedgepeth was purchased from the
Petersburg club OF the Virginia league
last summer. He issa ieft-handed pitcher
and attracted the attention of Scout
Kahoe, who recommended the young
man to the Washington club.
Morley was with the Nationals hst
spring and sold to the Hartford club of
the Eastern association. where he made
good at shortstop and was recalled by
the Climbers this fall.
