BURKE'S BULL DOGS FILL
PLACE TINKER'S TIGERS
THIS YEAR IN ORLANDO

The following from the sport page
Of the Orlando Morning Sentinel of
Saturday will be of local interest:
Ernie Burke, manager of Burke's
Bulldogs, of Orlando, who will attempt
to deplicate the success of Thinkers
Tigers of last year. will begin training
March 20.
Manager Burke said yesterday that
the players were signing up in fine
shape and the last year members on
the clubs reserve list are expected to
sign up soon. Carl Huber and Charlie
Taylor have signed up, Taylor being
first. Taylor is a Texas boy who
played semi-pro ball in Dallas and
Fort Worth. making his first appear
ance in professional baseball in the
Florida State League in 1921. Huber
comes well recommended from the
University of Missouri where he has
been doing some heavy smuggling for
three years. All indications show that
he will put up a good fight for a place
in the end field. Larry" Corwin, who
hits well over 300, came third and
signed for the season. Larry has
made considerable experience in his
pOolIIOH anu HO VIII De d HX-
ture at shortstop. Larry" is replac-
ing Palmer, of last year, who has been
sold on option to the Rochester club.
Another infielder will be signed soon,
which will give the Orlando club six
infielders if the members of last years
team sign up. With men like these
the battle for these the battle for
these positions will be holly con-
tested.
Three outfielders have signed up
in the last week, L. d. Mcconnell,
Paul Lostutter and Bill Grission. Nc
Cornell was leader in runs scored and
total score hits in the Florida East
Coast League. He is a valuable man
to have on any ball club. Paul Los
tutter agreed to Manager Burke's
terms and will report for duty the first
game of the season. At present he is
coaching a basket ball team at De-
Paw University. Lostutter is a fast
man and a good hitter. Bill Grission
played last year with the Elmira, New
York, Arctics. He is also considered
a fine slugger, having decided several
games for his team with timely bin
gle against such pitchers as Scott
Perry and Slim Kenney. This is Girls
sion's first venture into professional
baseball.
Contracts have been sent to eight
pitchers and Manager Burke is max.
ing every effort to make the pitching
staff the strongest department of the
team. Lefty Heniznon has been
secured from the Indianapolis club
of the American Association. He is
around six feet tall, and has a speedy
curve ball under good control for a

BILL NOW IN CONGRESS
SEEKING TO REGULATE THE
HUNTING MIGRATORY BIRDS

Washington, March 6.-Action pro-
badly will be taken during the next
week by the House agricultural COM
mission on the public shooting of
ground-game refugee bill introduced
by Representative Anthony of Kan
sas, committee members said today.
A similar measure has been introduc-
ed by Senator New of Indiana.
At a hearing held recently by the
House committee it was brought out
that the bill if enacted into law it will
afford protection to migratory game
birds, at the same time increasing
the shooting opportunities of sports
men of the country. Passage of the
bill was advocated by representatives
of the American Game Protective and
Propagation! Association and by a
number of state game commissioners
who appeared before the committee.
The measure provides that hunters
of migratory birds shall pay federal
license fee of one dollar. Funds thus
received by the government would be
used to purchase and improve land
and water areas throughout the coun-
try, many of which would be designat-
ed as public shooting grounds with
certain parts set aside as refugees on
which no shooting would be permit
ted. Some of the areas would serve
as public shooting grounds during the
open session, functioning as a refugee
during the closed period, while on
others no shooting would be permitted
at any time. The bill provides that
no land may be acquired without the
approval of the legislature of the state
in which the property lies.
