Maryland GARE LAWS MORE DRASTIC

The Legislature now in session at
Annapolis, Maryland, has a bill before it
which purposes to make the game laws
more drastic, and even more binding on
residents of a county, than the laws in
Delaware are now. It is the purpose TO
have the present game laws in Maryland
SO changed as to make it much harder
for speculators to ship game out Of the
county. The proposed law will fine any
one found reselling birds or other game.
This will mean that only those who kill
will have the right Of sale. License Of 81
will be required for residents Of county,
while non residents pay S.. Provisions
are to be made for game commission
and game warden to enforce this law.

TEXAS DOG WINS
 ALL-AGE STAKE John Proctor Leads Field in the Southern Meet at
 Let0hatchie

Montgomery, December 16-John Proc tor owned by A. l.. Curtis of Texas. and handled by Babcock, today won the all- age stake of the Southefh Field Trials ever the course at Letohatchie, below this city, Billionaire. owned by r. T.. Bedford of Hartford. Conn. and handled by Babceek came second. and Security, owned and handled by J. M. Avant of Grand Junction. Tenn. secured third place. One unique feature in this com petition is the fact that all three winners are pointers, not a single setter getting within the money.
 When the second five braces made the course this morning it was believed that another day would be necessary to com plete the contest, but the judges called back only six dogs for the final series, these being the three winners and Com missioners Harry, Ned Johnson and De Soto Frank.
 All the owners and handlers participate ing in the trials left for their respective homes tonight to spend the Christmas holidays, but practically all of them an- nounoed their intention of returning early in January to participate in the National Field Trials clubs annual meet over the same course. The Letohatchie course is reported as having plethora of birds, a condition that owners report as not ex- isting on many other courses in the coun- try where the meets have been failures.

President Will Stand
 Behind Appointments

Washington, December 1s-If anti administration democratic senators continue their fight on federal appoint ments made against their recommenda- tions they will find President Wilson ready to maintain without compromise the position he has taken. It was said definitely at the White House today that the President would stand square, ly behind appointments he has made in New York, Missouri and New Jer- sey over the protest of Senators O'Gor- man, Reed and Maritime. 4
 The President not only will not withdraw his nomination of John D. Lynn as district attorney for western New York, against which Senator OGorman protested, but will exercise his power of recess appointment to keep MT. Lynn in office. Recess ap- pointments also will be continued i'm definitely in the case of an internal revenue collector. in New Jersey and a marshal in Missouri. whose non,ina- ! tions have been opposed by SenatOrs, Maritime and Reed, respectively.

TAFT SPEAKS ON
 MILITARY PROBE

East Orange, N. J., December 1s.-'I was amused by the recent demand for an investigation of coast defenses of this country" said William H. Taft in an address before the Woman's club here tonight. "The investigation Is the thing needed the least. All information any investigators might want is on file in re- ports to Congress.
 If you want to conceal any fact you could not do it better than to put 1t into the official reports of Congress" he added.
 Mir. Taft thought that although the war in Europe made the probability of an attack on this nation remote, the pres ent widespread discussion of national preparedness would prove valuable in drawing attention to certain military needs. He urged keeping the navy up to a high standard and the addition of about 25 per cent to the strength of the army, that the United States might have troops enough to man the coast de- lenses properly. He argued also for a stronger militia.
 I am sure we are not defenseless," said the former President, "and I also do not believe we are about to go into a military camp. There is no harm, how ever, in providing arms and ammunition and keeping them in storehouses against the time we might need them"

BAG. Meets Osteopaths Tonight
Grist of the Winter League

The Osteopaths of Missouri will have to be shown tonight.
 Big league basketball opens at s:So O clock tonight in the gymnasium of the Birmingham Athletic club. when Tom mic McGowan and his husky warriors will battle against the quintet of the American School of osteopathy of Kirk vile. Mo.
 It will be the first big game of the season and it promises to be an excit- ing affair
 Regarding the stag at the B. A c. tomorrow night-a word to the wiseacres should be sufficient.
 Athletic events will predominate at the stag and Manager Bill Streit has ar ranged a sportive bill that should en- liven the corpuscles of the club mem- bers. To close the bill one of those old-fashioned blsckface comedies will be presented. These shaded affairs are well known to the members of the B. A. C., and are thoroughly enjoyed
 Three more umpires jump the o. B. We guessed that o. B. means organized baseball. We are not a regular sport scribe as yet, and therefore are not quite familiar with the vernacular of the tribe. However, it is a fact that three more umpires have deserted organized baseball for the Federals. Even lawn McGraw couldn't have wished these "umps' such a fate.
 Out in Chicago nice little press agent Is getting away with some neat public ity regarding a wrestler who is dubbed ''The Mystery" However, wrestlers are not mysteries to the Birmingham sport public any longer, thanks to local scribes, who proved themselves sIeuths extraor- dinary in uncovering the greasy past of Greek and Bulgarian cooks.
