 Under the Alabama laws, a political party has until 60 days before the election in. which to adopt an emblem through it's state party or executive committee, and file it with the secre- tary of state to be placed on the ballot. This will give the peoples progressive party, La Follettes third party, or any next election, if they care to do so. other new organization sufficient time in which to have their emblem placed on the ballot in this state before, the
 If the public shooting ground and game refuge bill passes congress when it convenes in December, as it is expect ed to do, feeding and resting grounds for migratory birds will be established throughout the. United States, in the interior regions, according to Commis- sioner of Game and Fisheries l. T. Quinn. MT. Quinn stated that migra- tory birds frequently make almost non stop flights from northern breeding grounds to the gulf coast, due to lack of adequate food supply en route. The bill pending in Congress contemplates improvement and enlargement of breed ing places of migratory fowl, establish ment of resting and feeding grounds and providing public shooting grounds" which should benefit. the aver age sportsman who is unable to af- ford membership in a wealthy club.
 The family garage, in addition to be- ing used as the resting place of the trusty flivver or eight-cylinder model and their accessories, is being used to an increasing extent by certain Mont gomery citizens for secreting juice more potent by far than gasoline.
 Evidence of this was obtained today when officers of the state law enforce ment department were seen ascending the capitol stairway to their headquar- ters on the. third floor, accompanied by a couple of dusky porters bearing very weighty kegs of prohibited beverages, Ten gallons of corn whisky and five cases of wine were found in the raid, concealed in a garage within recent days.
 The following paroles were granted by Gov. W. w. Brandon today upon recommendation of the pardon board |:
 Frank Malino, Jefferson county, con- victed of. murder November IS, 1916, and given life sentence. Van Herring, Etowah county, sentenced to 12 to IS months for distilling January 10, 1924.

Richards Representative in
: Canadian City Looking
Over the Ground.
By DAVID j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, Mar. 21.-The pres
ence in Montreal Of representative
" Tex Richard has prompted a re
vival OF reports that the Canadian
city will be selected as the scene of
4 Dempsey-Wills match late this
summer. The emissary Is none
other than Col. John Hammond, vice
president Of the Madison Square
Garden Corporation and his trip to
Montreal was for the ostensible pur'
pose Of making arrangements for
the formation Of an International
Hockey League, but the good people
Of the dominion are pleased to think
otherwise.
They infer that Colonel Hammond
has been given the responsibility OF
looking over the ground as an ad
vance agent for the Dempsey-Wills
matter and point to the fact that
Richard himself would have made
the trip, II the Congressional tnvesti
gators in Washington had been less
curious about the Dempsey Carpen'
tier fight pictures.
Both Richard and Colonel Ham
mond are doing all their talking In
the sign language right now and
with good reason. About this time
last year Richard was ready to dc
business with Dempsey and Wills In
Montreal and even went so far as to
dispatch Frank F1ournoy, his busi'
ness associate, to the proposed site

Sea Sand, a son Of Martinez and
Rod and Gun, won for Truman ct
Marlboro half an hour after Widow
Bedotte scored. He had previously
beaten Sycamore and some others
at Laurel Park under the silks of
Frank J. Farrell, Of New York.
Farrell paid a big price for Sea
Sand when the son Of Martinez
was a yearling. Truman got him
at Laurel after selling race. He
was not sound. of course, or he
would still be in the Farrell stable
galloping at Jamaica under the eve
Of Bill Knapp. But he has taken
a liking to the deeply cushioned
Bowie track and Truman believes
he will keep his feet through April

Truman seems to be in q fair
way toward getting a stable of

who managed the Rancocas stud
when Mrs. l.. A. Livingston owned

MATCH
MAKESOWN
EXPENSES
BaItimore-Washington Event
Draws $11e Gate, Making
Experiment Successful.
By r. ID. THOMAS.

For the first time in the history
Of bowling in Washington, an inter.
city duckpin match has been made
to pay for itself.
Earle D. Stocking, president Of
the city association, said today that
receipts for the Washington end Of
the match with Baltimore, rolled at
the Grand Central. totaled $118.
This, however. did not represent
the full attendance.
The charging for admission was
an experiment. Stocking and his
associates sought to learn whether
Washington could engage in inter.
city matches without putting the
financial burden on a few. The ex.
pertinent obviously is a success.
1t was carried out under diff.
culties. The match was rolled at
o'clock in the afternoon before most
people have finished the days work,
thus mitigating against a large at.
tendance. Five alleys were devoted
to the match by the Grand Central.
Similar consideration at night
when business is in full swing would
have entailed a heavy sacrifice by
the Grand Central.
The next big match, with Roam.
oke, will be rolled at night. Ac.
cording to Stocking, the best accom-
modations ever given spectators at
a duckpin contest in this city will
be available. The bleachers will be
arranged differently than at the
Baltimore match, enabling all spec
tators to see without standing.
The match with Baltimore was
the first held in Washington in
which the alleys were shut off from
the rest Of the establishment. One
wall Of the improvised theater con.
sisted Of two great American flags.
For first attempt, the stunt was
a marked success.
The Washington City Duckpin
Association will be reorganized at q
meeting Sunday at II a. m, at the
Recreation. Besides the members
of the board of directors, every
league president is requested by
President Stocking to attend.
Officers will be elected, a new
constitution and bylaws adopted
and plans for the annual city tour.
nament made.

Bantam Champion Quoted at
2 to I on Strength of

fact that Joe Lynch once knocked
out Abe Attel Goldstein in eleven
rounds has installed the bantam
champion as a 2-to-1 favorite over
Goldstein in their fifteen.round title
battle at Madison Square Garden
tonight.
This Is the price exacted by a
fight that took place nearly four
years ago when Goldstein was a be-
ginner and Lynch was entering the
period Of his greatest popularity and
verging on the championship. Gold
stein has been waiting for this
chance a long time, and he Is pre-
pared to make the fight of his life
The circumstances hardly seem
to justify the odds on the fight,
yet Lynch's friends are so anxious
to back him that they are offering

The champion has been training
on the farm Of his manager, Eddie
Mead. Lynch has always said that
he would not come into New York
to defend the title until he was sure
he was fright" and his friends
could bet on him.
While the champion Is said to
be strong at 118 pounds and is in
fine shape, Goldstein has impressed

ONE HONOLULU
MERMAID MAY
MAKE TEAM
Norman Ross Refuses to Flat
ter Girl Swimmers In
Hawaii.

HONOLULU, March FL. - Miss
Marie Wehselaur is the only one Of
the mermaids here who has q
chance to qualify for the American
Olympic aquatic team Of 1924.
That's the opinion today Of Nor
man Ross, former worlds champion,
who has been here for some time
looking over the prospects.
In addition to Miss Wehselaur,
the outstanding Hawaiian girl swim
mers are Miss Lille Bowmer and
Miss Dorothy Waters. Miss Bow.
mer holds a record for the 100
straight swim in 1903 S.6.
Yet, when Miss Gertrude Ederle,
who has never gone under 1905,
swan against Miss Bowmer, she
won easily.
Miss Waters did the 200 meters
about 218 yards in better than
1858 As. That made many here be-
lieve she would qualify for the
Olympics. But Ross discounts her
chance by pointing out that within
three months at least five girls in
the U. S. A. have done the 220 in
3:45 or better.
"I'd like to be flattering to the
girls here-but 1 also must be truth
full" said Ross.
