FEDERAL LAW HOLDS
State Game Laws Apply Only in
Shortening Seasons.

Austin. Tex, Sept. 19.-ln an spin-
ion by Assistant Attorney General
Bruce Bryant. constituting the state
game laws, it was held that where
there is a conflict between the state
and federal laws. the federal law pre-
walls. There is, however. an exception
in instances where the state law
shortens the season, and then the state
law obtains. the opinion held.
Under the federal law the state is
divided into two zones. the north and
south zones. The dividing line starts
at Laredo and follows the Internation-
al-Great Northern Railroad to Long
view thence to Texarkana parallel TO
the Texas & Pacific railroad tracks.
All territory south of this is designated
ms the south zone and all north is
known rs the north zone.

the federal law the season opens on
October 1 and closes January IL in

birds and fowls may not be killed prior
to October 10 and the federal law

Benson, Well-pleased With
Work-Signature a
Formally.
LEAVES FOR ST. LOUIS
Bruin Manager Going Over
land to Spend Winter
at Home.

Bob Coleman will manage the San
Antonio Bears again next season.
President H. J. Benson unrolled
the contract, dipped the pen in the ink
and indicated the dotted line, and Bob
signed. Then he went home, loaded
the blanket roll and the family
in the coupe and started out early
Wednesday morning for st. Louis, his
home town in the winter.
1t was understood for some time
that Coleman would be the manager
of the Bears again, but the president
of the club and the team pilot did not
get together on the matter until Tues
day. There were a couple of little
bitches that threatened trouble, but
they were bow-knots and the confer
ences were reported to be of the
smoothest nature.
Mr.. Benson Wednesday expressed
himself as well pleased with Coleman
and his work in his first summer with
the Bears this year.
Had Pennant Possibility.
"All i need say, l suppose, is that
we would have won the pennant If
Bob hadn't hurt his right hand and
been forced out of the game" the
local magnate said.
Coleman made us a good manager
this year. Next season he ought TO
be even better with a years expert
ence behind him. He has been able
to accurately judge the speed of the
league and the peculiarities of lot Of
the players and managers and he
nsnows just about what he must do
next year." --. -.
Coleman Likes City.
Coleman likes San Antonio and he
was elated Wednesday with the pros
pect of returning. He is not discour-
aged by the necessity that will be his
of having to build an entirely new
team next spring because of the fact
that the excellence of their play has
earned several Bruin stars big league
trials or recalls from the major clubs
which had strings on them.
st. Louis is the national baseball
center in the winter-more men come
from that town in organized ball than
in any other single city-and Cole
man will keep in close touch with the
baseball situation. He doubtless will
use his influence with the st. Louis
Club and with Bob Quinn. the new
president Of the Boston Red Sox, for
merly st. Louis business manager. TO
the benefit Of the 1924 Bear roster.

LOOKS AS IF FIRST
THREE In TENNIS
WILL BE THE SAME
Tilden's Superiority a!
Head of List More
Pronounced.
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. 19.-However the
ranking committee of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association may
align the players Of the country in ac-
cordance with the relative merits oil
their play, there is no doubt that the
first three will be Tilden, Johnston
and Richards.
This trio topped the list in las
years ranking and there is no reason
to believe they will not again lead all
the rest. Yet it is interesting TO note
Richards has not as clear claim Il
third position as he had last year
his game in the season just passed
having been marked by breaks thai
were surprising and unexpected.
Johnston, too, does not stand out n,
he did last year-at least not in re
lation to his great rival. Tilden. Jus
how close were the two in point o.
playing ability in 1922 was evidenced
by that thrilling five-set match "A
Germantown last September. The gul!
that separates them this year is de
fined by the champions easy victory
over the little Californian on Satur'
day last.
Still, Johnston still stands ahead oil
all the players in the country, Tihei
excepted. 1t is difficult to say whether
Big Bill has risen to new heights in
his game or whether Johnston has
slipped. The tendency is to say tina,
Johnston is getting through and maybe
he is. But. on the other hand. the
dazzling tennis that Tilden played this
season may have contributed greatly
to an impression of failing form more
apparent than any real slip on the
part Of his opponents.
Tilden has been a veritable flame OF
n player since Longwood. In no de
partment of the game has he a weak
ness sufficiently important to men
ton. Year by year he seems to i'm.
prove and right now he is by all ODD:
the greatest exponent of lawn tennis
who ever swung a racquet.
As for Johnston, he has not been
in good health this season. When he
came east en- route for Wimbledon, h.
weighed 1873 pounds and pleased al
his friends with his rugged appear
ance. But when he returned from
England most of this extra weight had
gone. Saturday at Germantown he
scaled below normal.
JOHNSON still is the. second beS!
tennis player in this country; in face
in the world-this is granted him de
spite his defeat by Anderson-and the
chances are he would have no trouble
in demonstrating this fact next year
were he to enter national tennis tour
naments. But it looks as though the
cbnmDion's crown which once he wore
will not return to him.
