WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF GAME
and FISH HAS ACCOMPLISHED
AND IS EXPECTED TO ACCOMPLISH
By Honorable Jesse E. Mercer, State Game and Fish
Commissioner

free use of printers ink in the prepa
ration of pamphlets containing the
laws, instructions to wardens and
suggestions to the public, a new
thought has taken possession of the
minds of thousands of people who had
never given serious consideration to
the great value of birds, wild animals
and fish. Many people well informed
on other subjects, successful in business
and prominent in public life, had never
seriously considered the Importance
of bird life to vegetation and to farm
crops. Or the commercial value of the
annual fish supply and it's wonderful
possibilities was known to but few.
The pot hunters have been driven
from the fields, the game dogs have
ben discouraged; the seine and gill
nets have been excluded from the fsa
streams and ponds during the Matching
season; the rivers are being kept open
during the shad season and the oyster
thieves and pirates restricted in their
ravages on the states oyster beds.
Thousands of vagabond negroes who
spent a large part of their time on the
streams fishing and in the woods pot
hunting have been turned to the COT
ton fields and to the cook rooms.
AS result of the protection afford
ed by we'll enforced warden system
birds are multiplying gratifyingly-
some well-informed people say i'm
mensely The larger and important
game, deer and wild turkey, are being
protected in a manner that guarantees
replenishing the depleted covers of the
state.
While no money has been expended
for propagating new species, the foun-
dalton has been laid and the time is
almost ripe for planting new species of
birds and game, especially such as
have been exterminated, and for es-
| tablishing fish hatcheries. Many good
people, who heretofore, or before the
enactment of the game laws were igno-
rant of the value of wild life in Geor-
gia have become aroused to the i'm
portance, and interested in it. and are
giving their moral support and indi.
vidual influence to the protection of
game and birds, and are advocating
the propagation of fish, birds and game
animals, and in this connection it is
well to state that it is believed that Il
is only a matter of a short time when
the common schools Of the state win
make the study Of wild life and the i'm
portance Of birds in the preservation
Of vegetation, and the protection OF
gardens and crops, a part of the
common school curricula.

baseball is one big reason why women

continued. "They should like the

them!
My mother is quite a fam" she
said, laughingly. Down in Atlanta
she never misses a game, and my

Baseball is not as popular now as
it will be-" Mrs. Futrelle continued.
I'VE need a big outdoor sport. We
need something to call US under the

buildings and long. monotonous rows
of dwelling houses.
Il remember hearing one woman
saying to another. Do you know what

three fouls are strike. Another
woman who was trying to puzzle out
some of the mysteries of the game
asked her husband who the man a.

replied. Dear me- said the woman,

out 1910, the year Pittsburg came orr
first. Meyers was the whole show n
1912 when the Giants won out.
This fact leads Immediately to the
question as to whether or not it is
better for one catcher to do all the
work, or to distribute the receiving
equally among three or four men.
The one-catcher-for-a ll-games the
DRY, hard as it is on the man who is
scheduled to work every day, seems
from the standpoint of experience, to
be the best. Still there are argr-
ments both ways
Says 1t Wears Man Out.
One side contends that to have one
player work all the time tends to
wreak havoc with the club if he
should be hurt. Again, this side
maintains that some receivers handle
one pitcher better than they do au-
other. Lastly, it is declared that
catching day after day wears a man
out.
Opponents of this side reply to the
first argument to the effect that il
rarely happens for one catcher
doing the bulk of the work, to be out
for very long time; and that the
other catchers are we'll able to take
care of the backstoping until the best
man comes back.
To the second contention the an
swer is made that if a catcher is Il
good man, he should be able to handle
all shoots, come from whomsoever
they may. They illustrate this with
the case of Walter Johnson, whose
effectiveness was said to be doomed
with the release of Charley Street.
Yet when Street was released to New
York, John Henry did just as we'll.
Thirdly, it is declared that catch
ing every day hasn't worn out any
star to any great extent yet, the ma
jority of receivers being physically
able to endure hard work.
Both sides have able contentious.
There have been instances in the his
tory of the game, undoubtedly, when
the absence of a star backstop from
injury or other causes, has rendered
Ineffective the pitchers, everything be-
ing restored to equanimity when the
veteran donned the stuff" again.
Pitchers Show Preference.
There have been instances, too,
when pitchers seemed to have worked
| better with a particular catcher behind
the plate. Blanding maintains that
he likes Steve O'Neill as a receiver as
he always seems to work better with
the stocky Pennsylvania lad than
with any of the others.
And there have been illustrations
where hard work has killed good
catcher. There are some who always
will maintain that Johnson's terrific
shoots, handled uncomplainingly day
after day by Street, finally broke the
former Washington star oackstops
| great endurance, and were the cause
of his being sent back to New York
whence he later drifted to Chatta-
nooga.
1t is an open fact that infelders
work most successfully when there is
a man handling the pitchers shoots i'll
whom they have entire CONFIDENCE
confidence born of steady and contin-
uous work week in and week out
They know where his weak points
are land each receiv has one or two
failings, slight as they may be- and
are constantly on the lookout for
them.
The same principle seems to apply
to catcher as it does to an infielder
himself II the latter is DISABLED in

A Woman's Cool Nerve In a Moment Of
Deadly Peril.


An Englishman in travelling through
Ceyon was the guest of a dockyard
official at TrincOmalee.

but when it was about half over |
was startled by hearing the wife of
my host tell the native servant to
place bowl Of milk on deer skin
near her chair.
Although she spoke as calmly as If
giving an ordinary order. knew at
once there was n snake somewhere In
the room. for they prefer milk to any
thing else As a hasty movement
might have meant certain death. we
all sat like statues: but. for all that.
my eyes were inspecting every nook
and corner with peep under the ta-
BILE. However. ii was not until the
milk was placed on the deer skin that
the snake appeared And then. to our
amazement, large cobra uncoied
itself from my hostess ankle and
glided toward the bowl. when. of
course, 1t was Immediately killed.
